Si mise in luce, dopo le prime esibizioni a carattere locale, nel 1946 dai microfoni di Radio Bari , partecipando al concorso Il Paradiso dei dilettanti (organizzato dal compositore Vito Vittorio Crocitto e dal maestro Carlo Vitale ). Came to the fore after the first performances in local, in 1946 by the microphones of Radio Bari , for participating in the paradise of amateur (organized by composer Victor Vito Crocitto and teacher Charles Vitale ).

	« Ho cominciato da ragazzo. "I started as a boy. Studiavo un po' di armonia , ero, anzi sono, un bachiano convinto, mi piace tutto di Sebastiano. » I studied a bit 'of harmony , I was, indeed are, a Bach convinced, I like everything about Sebastian. "
	( Nicola Arigliano [1] ) (Nicola Arigliano [1] )

Negli anni successivi emigrò dal Salento , e dopo una lunga gavetta nei locali notturni del Nord Italia fu notato da un produttore televisivo che lo fece debuttare in scenette e numeri musicali in alcuni programmi di varietà . In later years he emigrated from Salento , in the ranks and after a long night clubs Northern Italy was spotted by a television producer who debuted in skits and musical numbers in some programs of variety .


La sua vita si divise tra musica e televisione. Her life was divided between music and television. I primi dischi datavano 1956 ed erano 78 giri , per lo più di canzoni napoletane, registrati per la RCA Italiana ; con il passaggio al 45 giri , ed alla etichetta Columbia , arrivò il primo successo con "Simpatica" , di Garinei , Giovannini e Kramer . The first disc datavano 1956 and were 78's , mostly to Neapolitan songs, recorded on RCA Italian , with the shift to 45 rpm , and the label Columbia , the first success came with "sympathy" of Garinei , Giovannini and Kramer .


Nel 1958 partecipò a Canzonissima e, successivamente, si fece notare in un programma televisivo dal titolo Sentimentale , condotto da Lelio Luttazzi , al quale partecipava come ospite fisso , insieme con Mina . In 1958 he participated in Canzonissima and thereafter was noted in a television program entitled Sentimental, led by Lelio Luttazzi , attended as the guest star, along with Mina . L'omonima sigla divenne un disco di successo, inciso da entrambi i cantanti in due versioni differenti. The initials of the same name became a hit record, recorded by both singers in two different versions.
Nel frattempo, Nicola Arigliano continuò a coltivare la sua grande passione, il jazz , e partecipò a festival ed a manifestazioni dedicate (ad esempio il Festival del jazz del 1959 , insieme a Franco Cerri ), e poté evidenziare il suo stile da " crooner " . Meanwhile, Nicola Arigliano continued to cultivate his passion, jazz, and participated in festivals and exhibitions which (such as the Jazz Festival of 1959 , with Franco Cerri ), and was able to highlight its style from " crooner " .


Di questo periodo sono i maggiori successi discografici: Un giorno ti dirò , Amorevole , I sing ammore , My wonderful bambina , I love you forestiera . Of this period are the most successful record: One day I'll tell you , Loving , ammore I sing , My wonderful little girl , I love you stranger . I titoli bilingui erano un vezzo degli autori di canzoni di fine anni cinquanta , che vedevano nella "canzone-cartolina" un mezzo per propagandare le nostre bellezze turistiche (un noto esempio di questo genere è Arrivederci Roma di Renato Rascel ). The titles had a habit of bilingual songwriters end fifties , who saw in "song-postcard" a means to advertise our tourist attractions (a famous example of this kind is Arrivederci Roma by Renato Rascel ).

Jaime Escalante, died he was 79,

Jaime Escalante died he was 79. Escalante was a Bolivian-born American school teacher who earned renown and distinction for his work at Garfield High School, East Los Angeles, California in teaching students calculus from 1974 to 1991. Escalante was the subject of the 1988 film Stand and Deliver, in which he is portrayed by Edward James Olmos.

(December 31, 1930 — March 30, 2010)

Jaime Escalante was born in La Paz, Bolivia. While living in Bolivia he taught physics and mathematics for nine years. In 1964 he decided to move to the United States. To prepare, he began studying science and mathematics at University of Puerto Rico. Upon moving from Puerto Rico to California, Escalante could not speak English and had no valid American teaching credentials. He studied at night at Pasadena City College to earn a degree in biology. He took a day job at a computer corporation (Burroughs Corporation), while continuing his schooling at night to earn a mathematics degree at California State University, Los Angeles where he studied calculus.

In 1974 he began teaching at Garfield High School, East Los Angeles. Escalante was initially so disheartened by the lack of preparation of his students that he called his former employer and asked for his old job back. Escalante eventually changed his mind about returning to work when he found 12 students willing to take an algebra class.

Shortly after Escalante came to Garfield High, its reputation had sunk so low that its accreditation was threatened. Instead of gearing classes to poorly performing students, Escalante offered AP (advanced placement) calculus. He had already earned the criticism of an administrator who disapproved of his requiring the students to answer a homework question before being allowed into the classroom. "He told me to just get them inside," Escalante reported, "but I said, there is no teaching, no learning going on".

Determined to change the status quo, Escalante had to persuade the first few students who would listen to him that they could control their futures with the right education. He promised them that the jobs would be in engineering, electronics and computers but they would have to learn math to succeed. He said to his students "I'll teach you math and that's your language. With that you're going to make it. You're going to college and sit in the first row, not the back, because you're going to know more than anybody".

The school administration opposed Escalante frequently during his first few years. He was threatened with dismissal by an assistant principal because he was coming in too early, leaving too late, and failing to get administrative permission to raise funds to pay for his students' Advanced Placement tests. This opposition changed with arrival of a new principal, Henry Gradillas. Aside from allowing Escalante to stay as a math teacher, Gradillas overhauled the academic curriculum at Garfield, reducing the number of basic math classes and requiring those taking basic math to concurrently take algebra. He denied extracurricular activities to students who failed to maintain a C average and new students who failed basic skill tests.^{[citation needed]}

Escalante continued to teach at Garfield, but it was not until 1979 that Escalante would instruct his first calculus class. He hoped that it could provide the leverage to improve lower-level math courses. To this end, Escalante recruited fellow teacher Ben Jimenez and taught calculus to five students, two of whom passed the A.P. calculus test. The following year, the class size increased to nine students, seven of whom passed the A.P. calculus test. By 1981, the class had increased to 15 students, 14 of whom passed.

Escalante placed a high priority on pressuring his students to pass their math classes, particularly advanced calculus. He rejected the common practice of ranking students from first to last and instead frequently told his students to press themselves as hard as possible in their assignments. One of his students said, "If he wants to teach us that bad, we can learn."

In 1982, Escalante came into the national spotlight when 18 of his students passed the Advanced Placement calculus exam. The Educational Testing Service found these scores to be suspicious, because all of the students made the exact same math error on problem #6, and also used the same unusual variable names. Fourteen of those who passed were asked to take the exam again. Twelve of the 14 agreed to retake the test and did well enough to have their scores reinstated. In 1983, the number of students enrolling and passing the A.P. calculus test more than doubled. That year 33 students took the exam and 30 passed. That year Escalante also started teaching calculus at East Los Angeles College.

By 1987, 73 students passed the A.P. calculus AB exam and another 12 passed the BC version of the test. This was the peak for the calculus program. The same year Gradillas went on sabbatical to finish his doctorate with hopes that he could be reinstated as principal at Garfield or a similar school with similar programs upon his return.

Escalante was the ultimate performer in class, cracking jokes, rendering impressions and using all sorts of props -- from basketballs and wind-up toys to meat cleavers and space-alien dolls -- to explain complex mathematical concepts. Sports analogies abounded. A perfect parabola, for instance, was like a sky-hook by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. "Calculus Does Not Have To Be Made Easy -- It Is Easy Already," read a banner Escalante kept in his classroom.

1988 saw the release of a book Escalante: The Best Teacher in America by Jay Mathews (ISBN 0-8050-1195-1) and a movie Stand and Deliver detailing the events of 1982. During this time teachers and other interested observers asked to sit in on his classes. Escalante received visits from political leaders and celebrities, including then-President Ronald Reagan and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Escalante's dramatic success raised public consciousness of what it took to be not just a good teacher but a great one.

Escalante has described the film as "90% truth, 10% drama". He stated that several points were left out of the film:

• It took him several years to achieve the kind of success shown in the film.
• In no case was a student who didn't know multiplication tables or fractions taught calculus in a single year.
• Escalante suffered a gall-bladder attack, not a heart attack. This distinction was clouded over in the film.

Over the next few years Escalante's calculus program continued to grow but not without its own price. Tensions that surfaced when his career began at Garfield escalated. In his final years at Garfield, Escalante received threats and hate mail from various individuals.^[1]

By 1990, he had lost the math department chairmanship. At this point Escalante's math enrichment program had grown to 400+ students. His class sizes had increased to over 50 students in some cases. This was far beyond the 35 student limit set by the teachers' union, which in turn increased criticism of Escalante's work. In 1991, the number of Garfield students taking advanced placement examinations in math and other subjects jumped to 570. That same year, citing faculty politics and petty jealousies,^{[citation needed]} Escalante and Jimenez left Garfield. He immediately found new employment in Sacramento, California's school system.

Angelo Villavicencio took the reins of the program after their departure and taught the remaining 107 A.P. students in two classes for the next year. 67 of Villavicencio's students went on to take the A.P. exam and 47 passed. Villavicencio's request for a third class due to class size was denied and the following spring he followed Escalante and quit Garfield. The math program's decline at Garfield became immediately apparent following the departure of Escalante and other teachers associated with its inception and development. In just a few years, the number of A.P. calculus students at Garfield who passed their exams dropped by more than 80 percent. In 1996, Angelo Villavicencio contacted Garfield's new principal, Tony Garcia, and offered to come back to help revive the dying calculus program. His offer was rejected.^[1]

Unpopular with fellow teachers, Escalante won few major teaching awards in the United States. He liked to be judged by his results, a concept still resisted by the majority of his profession. The results were what mattered to him -- the young minds he held captive three decades ago are engineers, lawyers, doctors, teachers and administrators today.

Escalante didn't just teach math. Like all great teachers, he changed lives. Gang members became aerospace engineers. Kids who had spent their youth convinced their lives didn’t matter discovered that they were leaders.

He exposed one of the most dangerous myths of our time – that inner city students can't be expected to perform at the highest levels. Because of him, that destructive idea has been shattered forever.

In 2001, after many years of preparing teenagers for the A.P. calculus exam, Escalante returned to his native Bolivia. He lived in his wife's hometown, Cochabamba, and taught part time at the local university. He returned to the United States frequently to visit his children.

As of March 2010^[update], he faced financial difficulties from the cost of his cancer treatment. Cast members from Stand and Deliver, including Edward James Olmos, and some of Escalante's former pupils, raised funds to help pay for his medical bills.

Jaime Escalante moved to Sacramento, California, which facilitated the commute to Nevada for his medical treatments.^[2] He died on March 30, 2010, aged 79, at his son's home near Sacramento while undergoing treatment for bladder cancer.^[3][4] He is survived by his wife Fabiola and his sons Fernando and Jaime Jr.^[5]
