The story of Tufts Medical Center and the Floating Hospital for Children encompasses the history of medicine in Boston. It was founded in 1796 as the Boston Dispensary; where district physicians provided free medical care to the poor through annual subscriptions from wealthy Boston families; including such luminaries as Samuel Adams and Paul Revere. Fueled by a huge influx of immigrants at the turn of the 20th century; the city of Boston rapidly expanded and diversified. So too did the hospital; whose growth included the addition of evening clinics to serve the working poor. The Floating Hospital for Children started in 1894 as a ship outfitted as a hospital to take the city�s sick children out on Boston Harbor to receive the benefits of fresh ocean air and the attention of a volunteer medical staff. In the 1930s; it merged with the Boston Dispensary and the Pratt Diagnostic Clinic along with Tufts University�s Medical School to form the nucleus of today�s Tufts Medical Center; a national leader in health care; teaching; and research.

A different version of Alice In Wonderland -- both are excellent!By Georgina TolandTheres a lot to love about Disney music and having them recast into jazz settings just makes them better. Best pieces here are "Alice In Wonderland" (a different and easier arrangement than the one found in the Bill Evans Volume 19). "The Bare Necessities." "Beauty and the Beast." "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo." "Chim Chim Cher-ee" (a personal fave that a determined advanced beginner can play). "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes". "Hes A Tramp" (another fave). "When You Wish Upon A Star." and "A Whole New World." The only dogs here are those from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. The problem there is the source material. Overall. this is great volume of music. I recommend it.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. this series has given me a great outlet for my love of jazzBy David HocherThese are outstanding arrangements and a blast to play. As a classically trained pianist that does not have time to learn jazz improvisation and arranging. this series has given me a great outlet for my love of jazz. I have several books in this series and I particularly like the ones arranged by Brent Edstrom. I hope Hal Leonard continues to publish more of these books as I feel they fill a much needed and often overlooked niche.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. but its a good thing maybeBy hamsteronwheelsdeceptively difficult. but its a good thing maybe. I wish the left hand didnt have all these crazy 10ths which is impossible for me to play with my tiny hands. My piano teacher told me to cheat that using the pedal. but that doesnt make that any better. Ive encountered difficult stuff but tenths annoy me.
