George Francis Frazier, Jr. (June 10, 1911 – June 13, 1974) was an American journalist. Boston-raised, Frazier was graduated from Harvard College in 1932. He wrote for the Boston newspapers and for ''Esquire'' magazine, as well as many other venues, including the New York papers. Beginning as a noted jazz critic, his ''Sweet and Low Down'' column, debuting in the ''Boston Herald'' on January 27, 1942, was the first regular jazz column in an American big-city daily. He soon left jazz criticism for general journalism. He concluded his career as a much-revered columnist for ''The Boston Globe''. Called "Acidmouth" by his publishers at ''Down Beat'', he was legendary for his arch style, acerbic wit, erudite Olympian pronouncements on men's fashion, and general ''je ne sais quoi''. Frazier wrote the song "Harvard Blues" (music by Tab Smith), recorded in 1941 by Count Basie and included on the compilation ''The Count Basie Story, Disc 3 - Harvard Blues'' (2001, Proper Records). Thanks to his writing, Frazier earned a place on the master list of Nixon political opponents. ==Links to writings by Frazier== * ("The Art of Wearing Clothes" ), article by George Frazier, ''Esquire'' magazine, September 1960 * ("Whose Civil Rights" ), column by George Frazier, ''Boston Herald'', August 30, 1963 * (Small sample of Frazier's jazz criticism from 1942, JazzBoston ) * ("Warlord of the Weejuns", Frazier's liner notes for the 1965 album ''Miles Davis’ Greatest Hits'' (reprinted in ''Ivy Style'', May 10, 2010) ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Frazier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
