  • Jamestown Gals Delights Full House at Musicalfare
    Jamestown Gals Delights Full House at MusicalFare Jamestown Gals, a playful revue of the careers of Lucille Ball and Peggy Lee is the latest creative effort from veteran choreographer Michael Walline. The show is now playing at MusicalFare at Daemen College in Amherst. Kathy Weese and Kelly Jakiel played Lucille Ball in her various incarnations while Terrie George and Arin Lee Dandes appeared as Peggy Lee. John Fredo and Marc Sacco played Desi Arnaz and most any other male roles called for. Walline cast the actors as the "essence" of Ball and Lee, his goal being to capture the spirit of the performers without impersonating them exactly. "By the Waters of the Minnetonka" will delight fans of "I Love Lucy". It's the familiar shtick of Lucy trying to weasel her way into Ricky's act at the club. Fredo, as Ricky, manages to capture Ricky Ricardo's accent and attitude without being campy. Those only familiar with Lucille Ball's comedy may be surprised by her musical background. Jamestown Gals features songs from her starring role in the movie version of Mame and her Broadway performance in Wildcat. Peggy Lee received an Oscar nomination for "Bye Bye Blackbird" from Pete Kelly's Blues and won a Grammy for "Is That All There Is?" Walline's father, who served as the catalyst for this musical once mused to Michael that these two talents were both from Jamestown- Lee was from Jamestown, ND and Ball from Jamestown, NY. With his father's inspiration, Walline studied the musical histories of the two legends and put together this revue.

  • WYCE Music Journal: Luminescent Orchestrii
    CMC | 88.1FM WYCE 4/2/09 11:05 AM WYCE Music Journal: Luminescent Orchestrii Neptune's Daughter March 16, 2009 Neptune's Daughter, by NYC's Luminescent Orchestrii, is an intriguing blend of traditional Romanian Gypsy folk songs, punk rock rhythm, bluesy vocals, and jazz improvisation. The Orchestrii, or small ensemble with orchestral intentions, is made up of a fiddler and guitarist from the NYC Theatre underground, a free-jazz bassist, and an old-time fiddler. The group toured extensively in Europe for a time, gaining much. Their music is not something you would expect to hear in modern America, but certainly welcome nonetheless. – Matt Kwiek Fula Flute Mansa America March 9, 2009 Sure, opening cut "Obama" (#1) feels like a bit of a novelty song after the 2008 election. But concentrate on the playing - especially Bailo Bah's and Sylvain Leroux's crazy good flute chops - instead of the foreign language words, and the track will win you over like everything else on the disc. This traditional-based Fulani music from the Fouta Djalon highlands of Guinea features complex balafon, kora, and flute solos that feel like the wellspring of American jazz, especially when paired with genuine jazz change-ups. But there's also a stateliness to the instrumentation that somehow seems classical. The two strains combine brilliantly on "Fouta Canada" (#5), thanks to a seamlessly integrated horn section. It's the Fulani flute that steals the show on "Lele"(#4) and "Boloba" (#6) via performances so physical, it's as if the flutist is trying to fit his entire body into the mouthpiece.
