    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 040-5149 1465 [email protected] CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY 50 th ANNIVERSARY REMIX Chicago feiern das 50-jährige Jubiläum ihres bahnbrechenden Debüts mit einer neu abgemischten Version ihres 2-fach Platin-ausgezeichneten Doppelalbums LOS ANGELES – Chicagos Debütalbum Chicago Transit Authority (bei Erscheinen noch selbstbetitelt) war eine bahnbrechende Doppel-LP, die das einfallsreiche Songwriting der Band, ihre meisterliche Musikalität und eine Genre-übergreifende Mixtur aus Rock, Jazz, Funk und Pop unter Beweis stellte. In Anerkennung seines prägenden Einflusses wurde das Album 2014 in die Grammy Hall of Fame aufgenommen. Anlässlich des 50. Jubiläums des Albums haben sich Chicago mit Toningenieur Tim Jessup zusammengetan, um das gesamte Album neu abzumischen. CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY (50th ANNIVERSARY REMIX) erscheint am 30. August auf CD und Doppel-LP auf 180g-Vinyl. Es wird auch eine nummerierte Limited Edition des 2LP-Sets auf Gold-Vinyl geben, die über rhino.com erhältlich ist. Das neu abgemischte Album wird am 30.August auch als Download und Stream veröffentlicht. Ursprünglich veröffentlicht am 28. April 1969, stieg Chicago Transit Authority in die US-Charts ein, erreichte Doppel- Platin und erhielt eine Grammy-Nominierung als „Best New Artist“. Das Werk erreichte zudem das seltene Alleinstellungsmarkmal, sich ganze drei Jahre (171 Wochen) in den US-Charts zu halten – zur damaligen Zeit ein neuer Rekord. Das zeitlose Doppelalbum enthält einige der unvergesslichsten Hits der Band: „Beginnings”, „Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?” und „Questions 67 and 68”. Es enthält außerdem das unverkennbare Gitarrenspiel des 1978 verstorbenen Terry Kath auf „South California Purple”, „Free Form Guitar” und ein gleißendes Cover von „I’m A Man”.

    Legendary American Rock Band Chicago to Perform Live with Charlotte Symphony One Night Only: 8 Pm Sat, Sept 21 at Belk Theater

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jamie Wolf, 704-714-5112 or [email protected] LEGENDARY AMERICAN ROCK BAND CHICAGO TO PERFORM LIVE WITH CHARLOTTE SYMPHONY ONE NIGHT ONLY: 8 PM SAT, SEPT 21 AT BELK THEATER August 21, 2013 | CHARLOTTE, NC - Chicago—one of the most successful rock groups in history—is bringing its powerful live show to open the Charlotte Symphony's Pops Series this fall. From the signature sound of the Chicago horns, their iconic vocalists and a few dozen ever-classic songs, this band’s concerts are celebrations! The band line-up includes original Chicago members Robert Lamm on keyboards and vocals, Lee Loughnane on trumpet, James Pankow on trombone and Walt Parazaider on woodwinds. Other members are Jason Scheff on bass and vocals, drummer Tris Imboden, guitarist Keith Howla, Lou Pardini on keyboards and vocals and Wally Reyes on percussion. Symphony-goers may find this interesting: original member Parazaider, a De Paul University graduate, was offered a spot with the Chicago Symphony in the early years but opted to stick with the band instead. The “legendary rock and roll band with horns,” Chicago is the first American rock band to chart Top 40 albums in six consecutive decades. In Billboard Magazine's list of Top 100 artists of all time, Chicago came in at #13, the highest charting American band, having produced an incredible 47 gold and platinum records. Most recently, in March of 2013, Chicago’s multi-platinum two-disc bestseller, The Very Best Of Chicago, Only The Beginning charted at #1 on two Billboard charts: the Catalog Chart and the Digital Catalog chart.

    The Roots Report: E-Nnoying!: Those Highway Signs Should Hit the Road

    The Roots Report: E-nnoying!: Those highway signs should hit the road Okee dokee folks… Have you noticed the illuminated message signs along our major highways and the annoyingly punny sayings on them? Personally, I think that these signs should be used for one thing only: emergencies. Instead, they visually shout stupidity at you as you pass. They are such a turn-off because they never seem to be turned off so I TRY to ignore them, which is exactly the opposite of what they are there for. Last month, with St. Paddy’s approaching, they constantly flashed out messages like, “Make your own luck, drive sober” and “You’re someone’s pot of gold, drive sober.” Yes, I agree, drive sober, but a driver has to take their eyes off the road to read the message. If you don’t know enough to drive sober, I seriously doubt that this electronic conscience is going to influence your imbibing, especially with puerile quips such as these. Other examples read: “Use yah blinkah,” “That seat belt looks good on you” and “Santa sees you when you’re speeding.” Maybe the sign people just aren’t getting enough emergencies to light write about. Maybe they should become songwriters and hit the open mics; they might be less annoying this way. Am I alone? Read on… Ding, Da-Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding… Does that sound familiar? Ha! Well, it’s the plucking banjo intro of the instrumental “Dueling Banjos” from the motion picture, Deliverance. The film was about four friends taking an ill-fated canoe trip through northern Georgia and starred Burt Reynolds, Jon Voight, Ned Beatty and Ronny Cox.

    Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue Produced by Dennis Wilson & Gregg Jakobson Released August 22, 1977 - Caribou PZ 34354 (CBS) Pacific Ocean Blue - Legacy Edition Originial Recordings Produced by Dennis Wilson & Gregg Jakobson Bonus Tracks Produced by Dennis Wilson, John Hanlon & Gregg Jakobson Executive Producer: James William Guercio Released June 17, 2008 - Caribou/Epic/Legacy 88697-07916-2 (Sony/BMG) Disc One Dennis Wilson had always been considered the quintessential "Beach Boy": not in a musical sense (that, of course, was Brian), but in a lifestyle sense. His love of surfing inspired the others to adopt the image that launched the band, and his further adventures in the worlds of fast cars, fast bikes, and fast women continued to fuel the imagination and song catalog of his older brother and cousin. But in the first five or six years of their career, his musical contributions were limited to drumming and singing backup (and sometimes not even that), with an occasional lead vocal opportunity (either covers of other artists or new songs that Brian and Mike would throw his way). However, with Brian Wilson's retreat from full artistic control of the band in 1967, the other members (Dennis included) began to be relied upon more and more for compositional and production efforts. Dennis' first contributions in this respect appear on the 1968 Friends album, and would continue over the next five years; tunes like "Little Bird", "Be With Me", "Celebrate The News", and "Forever" were highlights of the late '60s-early '70s Beach Boys era. In order for Dennis to evolve musically into something more than "just the fun-loving playboy drummer", he needed to master a melodic/chordal instrument well enough to compose on it.
