To Elektra EKL-264 Mono / EKS-7264 Stereo "The BLUES Project"
DAVE RAY: Dave "Snaker" Ray, whose ambition is to be a doctor, started playing guitar while a sophomore in high school. He origin ally began with blues (Leadbelly) to keep his fingers nimble fo r what he thought would be a classical-flamenco guitarist career. "After an adagio by Sor and a hacked-up Farruca, I began playing Led better's stuff exclusively, " Dave reports. He began playing the 12-string guitar when a senior in high school, and lists as early influences, Elvis' Sun label recordings, Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, early Chicago, and, of course, Leadbelly. " I sing the blues because it's a medium not as demanding as literatu re or serious music, and free enough to permit a total statement of personality and. self, " Dave states. "I play blues because 1 feel it's important to me to express myself and because I feel it's a significant form of music which hasn't had enough dispersement. As far as white men playing blues, that's all who do play blues. the new Negroes are too busy (doing other things). " Discography: Blues, Rags and Hollers (Elektra EKL 240). Dave Ray may soon be heard, with John Koerner and Tony Glover, on Elektra EKL 267. ERIC VON SCHMIDT: E ric w rites: "B orn 1931; began singing in 1948; first influences were Leadbelly, Josh White and Jelly Roll Morton — then Library of Congress material and field recordings. Worked as magazine illustrator, then painter until 1952... two years in the army, and then to Florida, where I worked as a frame-maker and built a 27-foot ketch which was almost called the 'John Hurt'. -

WHALE WATCHING TOUR Países: Estados Unidos/ Islandia/ Australia Duración Aproximada: 1 Hora Y 30 Minutos (Sin Intermedio)
festival de otoño 09 www.bedroomcommunity.net Foto: Bjarni Grímsson MÚSICA WHALE WATCHING TOUR Países: Estados Unidos/ Islandia/ Australia Duración aproximada: 1 hora y 30 minutos (sin intermedio) -ESTRENO EN ESPAÑA- En el año 2006 Nico Muhly, Ben Frost y Valgeir Sigurðsson fundan el sello islandés Bedroom Community. Ahora, unidos a Sam Amidon emprenden una gira europea con un proyecto colectivo al que han llamado Whale Watching Tour. Más que como una serie de conciertos al uso, la gira se presenta como una experiencia musical única, un cóctel de artistas con inquietudes similares y orígenes musicales diversos. Graduado en composición en la Juilliard School, el joven Nico Muhly ha causado gran revuelo en los círculos de la músi- ca moderna por su activa participación en distintos proyectos. Ha colaborado con artistas como Antony (de Antony and the Johnsons) y ha sido discípulo aventajado de Philip Glass, con quien ha trabajado en varias obras y bandas sonoras. Colaboró como músico de Björk en el album Medúlla y ayudó a esta artista islandesa con los arreglos para la banda sonora de la película Drawing Restraint 9. Pero sin duda la música de la película The Reader ha sido el proyecto que le ha permitido conquistar al gran público. En 2006 crea su propio sello (Bedroom Community) junto a Ben Frost (su indó- mito Theory of Machines sigue entre los puntos álgidos de la electrónica experimental reciente) y Valgeir Sigurðsson (ha colaborado con Björk, Sigur Rós y múm, entre otros). En 2009, uniendo sus talentos a Sam Amidon (para muchos uno de los mejores compositores indie del siglo XXI), estos tres músicos alérgicos a las etiquetas se zambullen en el Whale Watching Tour. -
CAP UCLA Presents Regina Carter's 'Southern Comfort' Plus Sam
Press Release Friday, December 18th, 2015 Contact: Ashley Eckenweiler [email protected] CAP UCLA Presents Regina Carter’s ‘Southern Comfort’ plus Sam Amidon Feb. 26 at Royce Hall Center for the Art of Performance at UCLA is proud to present the rich stylings of jazz violinist Regina Carter, who will perform from her newest album Southern Comfort—a journey through the musical history of the South. Folk multi-instrumentalist Sam Amidon will bring the American past back to us with re-composed folk songs. Tickets ($29-$59) for Friday, February 26 at 8 p.m. are available now at cap.ucla.edu, via Ticketmaster and at the UCLA Central Ticket Office at 310.825.2101. This performance is supported in part by the Sally & William A. Rutter Endowment for the Performing Arts, the Ginny Mancini Endowment for Vocal Performance and the Roslyn Holt Swartz & Allan J. Swartz Endowment for the Performing Arts. Sam Amidon will also be participating in a special event for local public schools through the Design for Sharing arts education program. In this special performance for student audiences, Sam and his band will share re-imagined Appalachian folk favorites, incorporating elements of jazz, experimental and indie rock music. ABOUT REGINA CARTER Violinist Regina Carter is considered the foremost jazz violinist of her generation – a designation which doesn’t quite paint the picture. As a result of her curiosity, passion, and quest for beauty brought to every stop taken on her full musical journey, she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship (a “genius grant”). Those are more apparent than ever on her latest album Southern Comfort (Sony Music Masterworks).
