  • A Conversation with Vassar Clements by Frank Goodman (Puremusic.Com, 8/2004)
    A Conversation with Vassar Clements by Frank Goodman (Puremusic.com, 8/2004) Perhaps like many who will enjoy the interview that follows, among my first recollections of Vassar’s playing is the 1972 Nitty Gritty Dirt Band recording Will the Circle Be Unbroken. As long ago as that seems (and is), he’d already been at it for over twenty years! In 1949, although only 14 years old and still in school, he began playing with Bill Monroe, the father of bluegrass. Aside from a few years off early on to check out some other things, Vassar’s been playing music professionally ever since. He’s recognized as the most genre-bending fiddler ever. “The Father of Hillbilly Jazz” is a handle that comes from several CDs he cut at that crossroads, but you can hear jazz and blues in any of the playing he’s done. He grew up listening to big band and Dixieland, and still listens to a lot of it today. Vassar says that many of the tunes he writes or passages he’ll fly into in a solo come from half remembered horn lines deep in his musical memory. Between his beginnings with Bill Monroe and the Circle album, Clements did many years with Jim and Jesse and then years with the late and much loved John Hartford, a lifelong friend who gave him the legendary fiddle he plays today. Circle turned a whole generation of hippies and acoustic music fans on to his music, and the children of that generation are following him today, as his popularity continues to recycle.

  • Jeremy Kittel Band
    Jeremy Kittel Band fiery blend of jazz, Celtic fiddling, and sultry world grooves “Outstanding Michigan Celtic-jazz-bluegrass fiddle whiz … “ — The Boston Globe “We’d call him a rising star, but he’s clearly already risen.“ — Detroit Free Press If you should run into Jeremy Kittel somewhere on this planet, ask him any question except “What’s your favorite style of music?” It’s not that he’ll be so offended as to reprimand you with his violin bow — on the contrary. As anyone who has seen him in concert can attest, his talent is matched by a kind of confident good nature that once spurred the Ann Arbor News to write, “If he didn’t come across as so nice, he’d be a little scary.” It’s just that Kittel, as someone who is truly steeped in a few very different musical traditions, has heard that question before … many times before, and it’s easy to understand why. When a musician is as likely to be found playing a ferocious set of reels in some dark pub in Ireland as he is likely to be found trading licks with a saxophonist at a hip New York City jazz club — and he is occasionally even seen doing such apparently odd-ball joining Turtle Island Quartet, Kittel was earning his masters things as exploring Indian classical music on stage at Carnegie degree in jazz performance at the Manhattan School of Music Hall — one starts to wonder … what is it that drives him? and skipping town on weekends to perform across the country Whatever the source of his inspiration may be, it has led to alongside fiddle legends Mark O’Connor and Darol Anger.

  • 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.
