Symphony Sid
Sid Torin (born Sidney Tarnopol, December 14, 1909 – September 14, 1984), known professionally as "Symphony Sid", was a long-time jazz disk jockey in the United States. Many critics have credited him with introducing bebop to the mass audience.
==Early life==
Sidney Tarnopol was born in New York City into a Jewish family.〔Birth name given at Mulvoy, Thomas Jr. "City Weekly: Ask the Globe". ''The Boston Globe'', 29 June 2003, p. 2. Birthplace and ethnic heritage given at Josh Kun, ''Audiotopia: Music, Race, and America'', p.79. University of California Press, 2005, ISBN 0520225104.〕 According to the 1920 U.S. Census, his parents were Isidore (a printer) and Caroline, both Yiddish-speaking immigrants; his father was from Russia and his mother from Romania. Sidney was the oldest of three siblings—he had a brother Martin and a sister Mildred. Born on New York's Lower East Side, Sid grew up in Brooklyn, in a poor neighborhood.〔"Cat's Commercial''. ''Time'' magazine, 16 November 1942, n.p.〕 Not much is known about his youth, although he seems to have become a jazz fan as a teenager,〔Barlow, William. ''Voice Over: The Making of Black Radio''. Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1999, p. 158.〕 and at one point tried to become a trumpet player. (Passman, 67) One source says he started college and then dropped out as a result of the Depression.〔Hammel, Lisa. "Old Hand at Jazz". ''The New York Times'', 27 April 1958, p. X13.〕 By 1930, the census showed him working at a record store. He first got into radio in 1937, at a radio station in the Bronx, WBNX, where he began as an afternoon disc jockey, doing a show called the ''Afternoon Swing Session''. His show featured the biggest hits by black performers such as Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald. He became extremely popular with young people, many of whom would come to the station hoping to meet him or make a request.〔"Symphony Sid, Classy Kid". ''Amsterdam (NY) News'', 7 September 1940, p. 16.〕 In an era when black music was still not frequently heard on the air, Symphony Sid was among the few white announcers who played what was then called "race" or "sepia" recordings on a regular basis. In addition to being an announcer—in 1937, the word "disc jockey" was not yet in common use—Sid sold airtime for his own program and produced the commercials for his sponsors.〔Passman, Arnold. ''The Deejays''. New York: Macmillan, 1971, p. 67.〕
