Green Dolphin Street (ver. 1) by Bronislau Kaper - Piano Sheets and Free Sheet Music

Bronisław Kaper (February 5, 1902 – April 26, 1983) was a Polish film composer who scored films and musical theater in Germany, France, and the USA. The American immigration authorities misspelled his name as Bronislau Kaper. He was also variously credited as Bronsilaw Kaper, Bronislaw Kapper, Benjamin Kapper, and Edward Kane. Kaper is now perhaps best remembered as the composer of the jazz standards "Invitation" (with words by Paul Francis Webster) and "Green Dolphin Street" the latter for the 1947 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film of the same name. He also scored the MGM film musical Lili (1953) and the TV series The F.B.I. (1965-1974). Bronisław Kaper began playing the piano at the age of six, and soon demonstrated considerable talent on this instrument. He studied composition and piano at the Warsaw Conservatory, and law at Warsaw University, in deference to his father's wishes. "On Green Dolphin Street" (aka "Green Dolphin Street") is a popular song written in 1947 by Bronislau Kaper with lyrics by Ned Washington. The song was composed for the film, Green Dolphin Street and became well known as a jazz standard after Miles Davis and others.
