Come OnOn InIn My Kitchen From the chunky, harmonica‐singed ain’t‐gonna‐stand‐for‐it romance of “My Babe” to a modern rewrite of “Pretty Thing” – the wedding ring is now coming off, not on – The Northern South Vol. 1 shakes loose the grooves and melodies, shakes off the Blueshammer stigma that comes with the territory, and shakes, as in shimmies, with six new songs that showcase Whitehorse’s formidable guitar prowess. The EP has sharpened Whitehorse’s own sense of sound and mission, a fusion of pre‐Beatles American electric fuzzed up, processed and distorted by pedals, telephones and layers of banged‐about bits. Whitehorse’s M.O. is one part clockmaker’s precision, one part unchecked hurricane. So much of the duo’s identity is strung over frets, tightened by pegs, and sent screaming through amps – The Northern South Vol. 1 is a one‐way ticket to Guitarland.

Now ten years onon from their debut EP, the Toronto four‐‐piece are looking back toto the energy and spirit of of that formative era while keeping anan eye onon the future. The new EP's recapture the urgency and attitude of of their earliest material, allall the way back toto the A A Lesson InIn Crime EPEP and 2008’s full‐‐length debut Elephant Shell .. They harnessed that primal and instinctual joy toto make their tightest, brightest, and certainly raddest batch of of songs toto date. Ever present isis the band’s good‐‐natured sense of of humor, perhaps nowhere more clearly than inin the EP’s title itself. But it’sit’s more than just aa pun oror anan overt nod toto aa formative album; it’sit’s aa reminder that Tokyo Police Club’s moment ‐ ‐ their vitality, their radness ‐ ‐ extends farfar beyond the now. When you start aa band asas aa group of of teenage best friends inin your small Canadian hometown, it’sit’s hard toto imagine that aa decade later you're still touring the world, playing shows toto legions of of fans, putting out aa steady stream of of acclaimed albums, garnering JUNO Award nominations and performing onon the Late Show With David Letterman (three times!).

  • Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter
    Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Jazz History and Research Graduate Program in Arts written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr. Henry Martin And approved by Newark, New Jersey May 2016 ©2016 Zachary Streeter ALL RIGHT RESERVED ABSTRACT Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zach Streeter Thesis Director: Dr. Lewis Porter Despite the institutionalization of jazz music, and the large output of academic activity surrounding the music’s history, one is hard pressed to discover any information on the late jazz guitarist Jimmy Raney or the legacy Jimmy Raney left on the instrument. Guitar, often times, in the history of jazz has been regulated to the role of the rhythm section, if the guitar is involved at all. While the scope of the guitar throughout the history of jazz is not the subject matter of this thesis, the aim is to present, or bring to light Jimmy Raney, a jazz guitarist who I believe, while not the first, may have been among the first to pioneer and challenge these conventions. I have researched Jimmy Raney’s background, and interviewed two people who knew Jimmy Raney: his son, Jon Raney, and record producer Don Schlitten. These two individuals provide a beneficial contrast as one knew Jimmy Raney quite personally, and the other knew Jimmy Raney from a business perspective, creating a greater frame of reference when attempting to piece together Jimmy Raney.

  • Statement from CIMA on Changes to LMO Process for Temporary
    August 29, 2013 The Hon. Jason Kenney Minister of Employment and Social Development Human Resources and Skills Development Canada Office of the Minister of ESDC 140 Promenade du Portage Gatineau, Quebec K1A 0J9 The Hon. Chris Alexander Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Department of Citizenship and Immigration Canada 365 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, Ontario K1A 1L1 Dear Ministers: On behalf of the Canadian Independent Music Association (CIMA), I would like to draw your attention to a matter of utmost importance to the Canadian music industry. Specifically, I am referring to recent regulatory changes made to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, and in particular to how those changes will now impact the domestic music industry. This is a matter of some urgency and importance, as it has both a direct and indirect effect on the entire ecosystem of the Canadian-owned industry – a community of small businesses from coast to coast to coast. In a nutshell, the changes to the regulations will significantly increase costs for Canadian booking agents, promoters, managers or those venues who book international artists to perform in bars and restaurants across Canada. This new, non-refundable fee of $275 per musician and those travelling with the band to get a Labour Market Opinion (LMO) will do tremendous harm to the domestic music industry. We are confident that this impact is an unintended consequence of your government’s recent changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, but it is one that will lead to a loss of jobs and a loss of economic opportunity (domestically and internationally) for the broader Canadian music industry.

  • Selected Press Quotes
    WAYNE HORVITZ SELCTED REVIEW EXCERPTS Joe Hill, 16 Actions for Orchestra, Voice and Soloist “Joe Hill” is, in fact, a ravishingly beautiful work… Paul de Barros Seattle Times Solos Somehow, always, they resist the postmodern temptation to be too smart and too cute: they're not trying to impress you with how much they can reference. These 14 pieces - including a few free improvisations, a traditional, a standard, and a Wayne Shorter tune - are mostly contemplative originals; one is particular, Ms. Holcomb's long form piece, " Before the Comet Comes," is staggeringly beautiful. Ben Ratliff , New York Times One of my favorite discs of 2004, Solos (Songlines), teems with solo piano pieces by Horvitz and Robin Holcomb that breathtakingly fuse the hermetic, astringent squiggles of Schoenberg's piano music with the lonesome sound of Shaker hymns. Chris DeLaurenti , The Stranger (Seattle) …they play like composers, giving every stroke a clear intent, informed by the tension and release of subtle harmonic and dynamic shifts. Jazziz ..tunes like "Tired," with its' bittersweet and subtly melancholic feeling, are particularly compelling because one can feel Holcomb's more skewed approach subtly infect Horvitz's playing, while its clearer roots in the blues distinguish it as a Horvitz piece. John Kelman , All About Jazz.com Wayne Horvitz and Robin Holcomb - the legendary husband-and-wife team that has had such an impact on extemporaneous music since the early '80s - take turns improvising on this hour-long solo piano recording.... The music is generally sparse and contemplative, but not *too* sparse and contemplative. It's a relaxed listen that touches on free jazz, polytonal hymnsong, traditional jazz (there's a nice version of "Stars Fell On Alabama",) and postmodern classicism, without really being any of those.

  • Dear Friends That Love Music
    Laura Veirs Warp and Weft From one of the country’s most inimitable songwriters – Portland, Oregon’s Laura Veirs – comes her ninth full-length album. Beautiful, lush and at times deeply dark, "Warp and Weft" captures the intensity of motherhood, love and violence. Primarily electric-guitar driven, it is a fever dream of an album and could well be Veirs’ best work to date. It builds on the uniform praise and commercial success of 2010's "July Flame," which Utne Reader dubbed “idiosyncratic and captivating” and received glowing reviews from The New York Times, Pitchfork, NPR and others. The recording of "Warp and Weft" (a weaving term) was a community effort. Produced in Portland in March 2013 by Veirs’ longtime collaborator Tucker Martine, the album features Jim James, kd lang, Neko Case, Brian Blade and members of The Decemberists and many more. Veirs sings not only of mid-winter suns, white blossoming cherry trees and melting ice, but also suicide, gun violence and war. She weaves threads of old folk songs including “Motherless Children” as well as stories of folk-art hero Howard Finster and jazz harpist Alice Coltrane. “I think of this record as a tapestry where disparate elements come together and are stronger and more lovely as a result,” says Veirs. Veirs was eight months pregnant with her second child during the recording; she says her experience as a mother brought about some of the more beautiful and painful songs. “I’m haunted by the idea that something terrible could happen to my kids but that fear pushes me to embrace the moment.

  • “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of
    “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dana DeVlieger, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Johanna Devaney Anna Gawboy Copyright by Dana Lauren DeVlieger 2016 Abstract “Whiskey in the Jar” is a traditional Irish song that is performed by musicians from many different musical genres. However, because there are influential recordings of the song performed in different styles, from folk to punk to metal, one begins to wonder what the role of the song’s Irish heritage is and whether or not it retains a sense of Irish identity in different iterations. The current project examines a corpus of 398 recordings of “Whiskey in the Jar” by artists from all over the world. By analyzing acoustic markers of Irishness, for example an Irish accent, as well as markers of other musical traditions, this study aims explores the different ways that the song has been performed and discusses the possible presence of an “Irish feel” on recordings that do not sound overtly Irish. ii Dedication Dedicated to my grandfather, Edward Blake, for instilling in our family a love of Irish music and a pride in our heritage iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Graeme Boone, for showing great and enthusiasm for this project and for offering advice and support throughout the process. I would also like to thank Johanna Devaney and Anna Gawboy for their valuable insight and ideas for future directions and ways to improve.

  • Savoy and Regent Label Discography
    Discography of the Savoy/Regent and Associated Labels Savoy was formed in Newark New Jersey in 1942 by Herman Lubinsky and Fred Mendelsohn. Lubinsky acquired Mendelsohn’s interest in June 1949. Mendelsohn continued as producer for years afterward. Savoy recorded jazz, R&B, blues, gospel and classical. The head of sales was Hy Siegel. Production was by Ralph Bass, Ozzie Cadena, Leroy Kirkland, Lee Magid, Fred Mendelsohn, Teddy Reig and Gus Statiras. The subsidiary Regent was extablished in 1948. Regent recorded the same types of music that Savoy did but later in its operation it became Savoy’s budget label. The Gospel label was formed in Newark NJ in 1958 and recorded and released gospel music. The Sharp label was formed in Newark NJ in 1959 and released R&B and gospel music. The Dee Gee label was started in Detroit Michigan in 1951 by Dizzy Gillespie and Divid Usher. Dee Gee recorded jazz, R&B, and popular music. The label was acquired by Savoy records in the late 1950’s and moved to Newark NJ. The Signal label was formed in 1956 by Jules Colomby, Harold Goldberg and Don Schlitten in New York City. The label recorded jazz and was acquired by Savoy in the late 1950’s. There were no releases on Signal after being bought by Savoy. The Savoy and associated label discography was compiled using our record collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1949 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963. Some album numbers and all unissued album information is from “The Savoy Label Discography” by Michel Ruppli.
