Friends,
I am stumped and I hope you can help me. A student is
working on a song by William Bolcom (american composer). He wrote a
cabaret song called Black Max (as told by the De Kooning Boys).He needs
to find information about who Black Max is, was it a fictional character or
fact? I found the score, but cannot find background information about the
character in the song, Black Max -- De Kooning Boys. Is this in
reference to William De Kooning- the painter. Was Black Max a subject of
De Kooning works?
Any information is really appreciated.
