  • Vanguard Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1953 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963, and Various Other Sources
    Discography Of The Vanguard Label Vanguard Records was established in New York City in 1947. It was owned by Maynard and Seymour Solomon. The label released classical, folk, international, jazz, pop, spoken word, rhythm and blues and blues. Vanguard had a subsidiary called Bach Guild that released classical music. The Solomon brothers started the company with a loan of $10,000 from their family and rented a small office on 80 East 11th Street. The label was started just as the 33 1/3 RPM LP was just gaining popularity and Vanguard concentrated on LP’s. Vanguard commissioned recordings of five Bach Cantatas and those were the first releases on the label. As the long play market expanded Vanguard moved into other fields of music besides classical. The famed producer John Hammond (Discoverer of Robert Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin) came in to supervise a jazz series called Jazz Showcase. The Solomon brothers’ politics was left leaning and many of the artists on Vanguard were black-listed by the House Un-American Activities Committive. Vanguard ignored the black-list of performers and had success with Cisco Houston, Paul Robeson and the Weavers. The Weavers were so successful that Vanguard moved more and more into the popular field. Folk music became the main focus of the label and the home of Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Rooftop Singers, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and many others. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a folk festival was held each year in Newport Rhode Island and Vanguard recorded and issued albums from the those events.

  • Chapter 3 John Fahey: Background and Brief Biography
    50 CHAPTER 3 JOHN FAHEY: BACKGROUND AND BRIEF BIOGRAPHY “Because of Dick Spottswood and Don Owens and Bill Monroe, I became a professional guitar player and composer.” John Fahey.1 John Fahey was born on February 28, 1939, in Takoma Park, located in Cecil County Maryland.2 His early musical life was typical of a suburban middle class child in the United States. Both his mother and father were amateur musicians; his father played popular songs on the Irish harp and the piano, and his mother played popular and semi-classical songs on the piano. Fahey remembers that, “my father liked schmaltz, but my mother played Rachmaninoff preludes and things. I started hearing that stuff really young, right out of the womb.”3 Fahey admitted on at least one occasion to taking piano lessons himself, but did not maintain an interest, saying that the piano “didn’t sound enough like a full orchestra.”4 A similar fate awaited the clarinet, an instrument he took up in junior high school in another attempt to connect with the concert music he was becoming interested in: I [Fahey] had been playing clarinet in a school band and was interested in orchestras and symphonic music, but I couldn’t maintain an interest playing the clarinet. I’ve always wanted to improvise and write things more than I 1 John Fahey, How Bluegrass Music Destroyed My Life , Chicago: Drag City , 2000 , 265.

PUB TYPE Books (010) -- Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC08 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Cultural Education; *Dance; Ethnic Groups; Ethnography; *Folk Culture; Foreign Countries; Foreign Culture; *Legends; Mythology; Photographs IDENTIFIERS Breakdancing; Finland; Finnish Americans; Peru; West Indies ABSTRACT Folklife is the study of tradition, of what carries forward through time, providing continuity and identity with a place or an activity. This collection of articles is intended to provide a forum for the discussion of theories and procedures of folklife study and to demonstrate both the variety of folklife communities and the unexpected similarities displayed by seemingly disparate groups or situations. "Breakdancing" (S. Banes) traces the phenomenon of breakdancing from its origins on the streets of New York City in the early 1980s where it served as a nonviolent form of competition between gangs, or "crews," of youngsters through its transformation into a theatrical event. "Among the Qeros" (J. Cohen) details the return visit of a filmmaker to a remote region in the Andes of Peru and the changes he found there after only six months. "'Bleows'": The Whaling Complex in Bequia" (H. P. Beck) describes 19th century whaling customs still practiced on the island of Beguia in the Lesser Antilles.

  • Fahey, John: the Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death (Bull Moose.Com)
    Fahey, John: The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death (Bull Moose.com) Notes / Reviews The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death is a 1965 album by American finger-style guitarist and composer John Fahey, originally issued in a hand-lettered edition of 50. As with all of Fahey's independently released early albums, it had little critical recognition upon release. The album has grown in stature since its reissue on CD in 1997 and is now highly regarded critically. History The title refers to a fictional bluesman named Blind Joe Death, first introduced by Fahey on his debut album Blind Joe Death. For years Fahey and Takoma Records continued to treat the imaginary guitarist as a real person, including booklets with their LPs containing biographical information about him and that he had taught Fahey to play. The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death was issued by Riverboat Records, initially in a hand-lettered edition of 50, before The Great San Bernardino Birthday Party (Guitar Vol. 4), but was later reissued by Takoma. Once reissued by Takoma, it became Volume 5, but was already labelled Volume 5 on the Riverboat album sleeves. The original 1965 liner notes came in a separate booklet, were lengthy and were attributed to one Charles Holloway, Esq. They begin: "A disgusting, degenerate, insipid young folklorist from the Croat & Isaiah Nettles Foundation for Ethnological Research meandered mesmerically midst marble mansions in Mattapan, Massachusetts. It was an unsavory, vapid day in the summer of 2010 as the jejune air from Back Bay transubstantiated itself autologically and gradually into an ozone-like atmosphere." The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death was partly recorded on the East coast, but more tracks were needed to make the album.

Their sound is still defined by sparse drums, GENRE: Alternative Rock locked-in bass, blistering guitar, and nonchalant, yet assured vocals, but from the first notes of "Sincerely Yours" you'll immediately notice that Networker sounds much cleaner and more "HI-FI" than their prior two albums, Deluxe (2016) and Multi-task (2017). The departure in fidelity suits the new record and allows the listener to enjoy the nuances of their meticulous arrangements. Don't worry, the riffs of 0 9 8 7 8 7 1 3 2 6 2 5 0 9 8 7 8 7 1 3 2 6 1 8 Gang of Four and Wire are still present, but the production is more CD Packaging: Digipack LP Packaging: Single-pocket lush and the harmony is even more expansive. Despite nods to the jacket with custom dust sleeve sounds of the ’70s and ’80s what comes through is a record fully Includes mp3 coupon rooted in the here and now. Thematically, this is apparent on the title NON-RETURNABLE track "Networker" taking a candid snapshot of the “digital you” aspect of life in the age of the internet. The otherwise fun romp “Skeleton Key” also acknowledges the “direct message and obsessive” side of social media with lines like “if you don't like what you see, the pretty face on the screen, scroll on by...” Networker was written half between tours and half during recording sessions.

  • Ii. Archive of Books, Recordings, Sheet Music, Videos, and Advertising Materials
    II. ARCHIVE OF BOOKS, RECORDINGS, SHEET MUSIC, VIDEOS, AND ADVERTISING MATERIALS IIB. Recordings II B1. African Source Materials It is Africa that is the largest presence in African American music, and it is still the least understood. Africa itself is still largely unknown to most Americans, and there is so much uncertainly in placing the ancestry of any specific African tribal group in any particular area of the United States or the Caribbean. Slaves were marched thousands of miles from their tribal areas before they were placed on the ships, and when they arrived in the Western Hemisphere there was generally an effort to separate members of the same tribe so they would not be able to communicate with the other slaves except through the slave holder’s language. What is known is the general area the slaves came from - West Africa, roughly from Senegal to Angola, and inland in the northern regions to the Niger basin in what is now Mali. This selection of recordings is only an introduction to the wealth of music from this area, but the archive includes the documentary recordings of the music I recorded on my travels in these areas as I searched for roots of the blues and other musical forms I knew from the United States. Six albums were released by Sonet Records in Sweden, and Folkways Records in the United States, and the book The Roots of the Blues also resulted from these travels. The 1974-1975 Recordings AFRICAN JOURNEY A Search for the Roots of the Blues Vol. 1 - LP, Recorded and documented by Samuel Charters.
