  • Spirituals Et Gospel
    SPIRITUALS ET GOSPEL un parcours dans les musiques sacrées afro-américaines. Médiathèque François Mitterrand Décembre 2010 1 Histoire des Négro-spirituals Les origines L'origine des Negro Spirituals remonte au temps de l'esclavage. Ces chants, empreints d'espoir et de ferveur religieuse, expriment tout le drame des populations africaines déracinées et vendues pour travailler dans les plantations du sud des Etats-Unis. Le Gospel est une création plus récente née dans les communautés noires américaines des grandes villes du Nord. Tout a commencé en 1619, lorsqu'un navire hollandais débarqua sur les côtes de Virginie les premiers esclaves africains. On trouva que ces hommes s'adaptaient bien au climat et qu'ils pouvaient être d'un excellent profit pour l'économie locale. Aussi d'autres navires négriers suivirent et, année après année, pendant plus de deux siècles, des centaines de milliers d'êtres humains furent arrachés à leur sol natal et transportés, dans des conditions effroyables, vers les rives américaines. Pendant la traversée. Gravure 1840 (Librairie du congrès) 2 L'esclavage fut à son apogée, au début du 19ème siècle, avec le développement du coton. En 1860 on comptait plus de quatre millions d'esclaves aux Etats Unis. La guerre de Sécession et l'influence des mouvements humanistes conduisirent à l'abolition de l'esclavage en 1865. Mais c'est à la même époque qu'apparut le Ku Klux Klan et les réactions ségrégationnistes. La lutte pour une complète et réelle liberté allait encore durer bien des années, jusqu'aux mouvements pour les droits civiques, entre 1960 et 1970, avec l'inoubliable figure de Martin Luther King.

  • The BBB Featuring Bernie Dresel – Live and Energized 11.1‐Channel Auro‐3D® “Live” Recording Event (Working Title)
    The BBB Featuring Bernie Dresel – Live And Energized 11.1‐Channel Auro‐3D® “Live” Recording Event (Working Title) Date: Tuesday, April 19, 2016 Arrive By 7:00 PM, Sound Check 8:00 PM NO Admission Fee Or Cover Charge Joe’s Great American Bar & Grill, Burbank, California Bernie Dresel’ s jazz orchestra, The BBB, is without question one of Los Angeles’ most exciting large jazz ensembles, if not on the planet. The BBB provides potent testimony to the sheer exhilaration of big band jazz...a combination of intense swing and fiery soloing, as well as tight ensemble playing. The BBB is comprised of sixteen seasoned pros on the LA studio scene. Populated by LA’s finest players, The BBB takes the big band tradition into the new millennium with a contemporary, highly original sound featuring the witty, intricate, and hard‐ swinging compositions of established and up‐and‐coming composers and arrangers. And like those other famous road bands such as Buddy Rich’s, Count Basie’s, Woody Herman’s, Stan Kenton’s, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis’, the music and delivery of The BBB’s music is nothing less than astonishing when experienced live. The sound has a contemporary, dynamic and hard swinging energy with a focused edge to it that is like no other jazz orchestra, though reminiscent of Buddy Rich’s ensembles. The band make‐up is unique in that there is no piano but jazz/rockin’ guitar instead, in addition to four trumpets, four trombones, five saxophones and upright acoustic bass and drums. When people hear Bernie’s BBB, the first thing that hits them is its energy and intensity.

  • “I Dig the Fact That Four Guys Can Grab the Same Fretless Bass and Sound
    Furthermore, says Marco, different gigs demand different atti - tudes: “When I go into a quartet setup, I know there’s going to be a certain amount of freedom in the bass chair. But if it’s a quintet with keyboard and two guitars, my job is more about ““II ddiigg tthhee ffaacctt tthhaatt ffoouurr locking in with the drums and keeping the bottom heavy, groovy, gguuyyss ccaann ggrraabb tthhee ssaammee and fat.” ffrreettlleessss bbaassss aanndd ssoouunndd Mendoza says his favorite playing style is fingerstyle fretless. “For my money, fretless can be a little more expressive than ttoottaallllyy ddiiffffeerreenntt..”” fretted bass. I dig the fact that four guys can grab the same fretless bass and sound totally different, more so than with frets. I understand that certain genres of music need a fretted sound, but I like to think I excel a little more on the fretless.” Yet some of Mendoza’s best-known work was performed with a pick on four-string fretted bass. “On rock sessions, I end up playing with a pick 90-percent of the time, mainly because that’s what the guitar players want. Most rock guitarists have either worked with bass players who used a pick, or they’ve recorded a lot of the bass tracks themselves using a pick. They appreciate the attack of a pick—the clarity, the ping—especial - ly live. Ted Nugent was that way. So was the Thin Lizzy project. Given the opportunity, I’d rather play with my fingers, but I’ve learned to do both and jump between them.” “I guess I’m a chameleon of sorts,” muses session bassist Marco Mendoza.

  • The Recordings
    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book. Naturally, these posted “videos” will disappear over time, although most of them then re- appear six months or a year later with a new URL. If you can’t find an alternate location, send me an e-mail and let me know. In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard. This way, the entire book can be verified by listening to the same re- cordings and works that I heard. For locations of these private sound vaults, please e-mail me and I will send you the links.
