I had wanted to marry the music of ELP with a contemporary dance interpretation for quite a while. Originally, this event had been scheduled to be a celebration of my 50th ​ year in music and I had invited Keith to come and participate in this and other special events that had been planned in 2016. He told us he was interested, but sadly, fate intercepted these plans. I felt it was imperative that we turn this event into a tribute to him and the music we made together.” The “Remembering Keith” tour features his popular ELP Legacy band and will also highlight his collection of fine art, recently done in conjunction with California’s Scene Four Art Studios. A multi-media experience combining music ​ ​ and video projection, the show promises to be among the most musically compelling tours of the year. Carl Palmer ELP Legacy is a red-hot power trio that features Palmer on drums and percussion; guitarist Paul Bielatowicz and ​ ​ bassist Simon Fitzpatrick. ​ Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy will play nearly two hours and drum enthusiasts can expect an evening of compelling percussive skills, from the man who brought the drum set to the forefront of rock n roll music.

    Brixworth and District Newsletter Learn, laugh, live Registered Charity No 1178196 Issue 74 June 2021 PROGRESSIVE ROCK MUSIC SUPPLEMENT Helpful hint: Once the ‘YouTube’ video appears, once you have clicked on the links below, and after skipping the adverts, you may or may not know, that you can click on the 4-cornered square icon (usually bottom right of the screen on the tool bar, along with the /volume/stop/start/pause/ icons) which will fill the whole screen. You can then use the ‘esc’ button on your keypad to come back out. PROG ROCK (PR) started in the mid-1960s, and followed the anti-war flower-power era of free love. Probably the best- known track from that time, and most likely will be for years to come, is ‘21st Century Schizoid Man’ by KING CRIMSON. However, prior to that brilliant piece of work, the movement started with the likes of THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN and his ‘Fire’, and the 3-piece band THE NICE, fronted by keyboard player extraordinaire Keith Emerson, who later formed EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER. Greg Lake was originally with King Crimson and Carl Palmer played the drums with The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. Emerson, Lake & Palmer was the first of the super groups, preceded by British prog rock maestros YES and GENSIS, and later, many others. As a new genre, it was never really accepted in the USA, and I wonder if that had anything to with Keith Emerson who, with The Nice, produced the electrifying track ‘America’, during the playing of which, he stabbed knives into the Hammond Organ, and set fire to the Stars & Stripes flag, a regular event at his concerts, one of which I was present at in Bath in 1968.

  • Ray Wilson Ua Zu „
    Ray Wilson u.a. zu „Time And Distance“ “20 Jahre nach Calling All Stations“ oder „Re-Boot nach dem Genesis-Ende“ Der ehemalige Genesis-Sänger Ray Wilson ist aktuell wieder auf Tour, mit einem neuen Live-Doppelalbum im Gepäck, aus dem Ausschnitte auch beim diesjährigen Night Of The Prog Festival auf der Loreley vorgestellt wurden. Es gilt, das 20jährige Jubiläum des letzten Genesis-Studioalbums „Calling All Stations“ zu feiern, auf dem Wilson bekanntlich als Nachfolger von Phil Collins agierte. Genug Gesprächsstoff also, und Ray Wilson stellte sich bereitwillig den Fragen und erwies sich als ausgesprochen angenehmer Gesprächspartner. Zunächst die unausweichlichen Fragen zu Genesis, beginnend damit, wie es eigentlich dazu kam. Als Phil Collins Genesis verließ, war ich mit meiner Band Stiltskin bei der gleichen Plattenfirma unter Vertrag. Genesis hatten damals bei Virgin nachgefragt, ob man dort Ideen für die Nachfolge hätte. Virgin hatte dann Genesis die Stiltskin- Musik geschickt. Die Band hörte sich das an und fand, dass die Stimme etwas hat und zu ihrer Neuausrichtung passen könnte. Ich wurde eingeladen und sang acht Songs ausCollins und Gabriels Phase vor. Dann haben wir uns zusammengesetzt und ein paar neue Songs ausprobiert. Ich brachte selbst dann ein paar Ideen ein, sowohl Musik als auch Texte betreffend. Und das war es auch schon – es waren gerade mal zwei Treffen mit einem Monat Abstand, und dann war es entschieden, ich hatte den Job. Wenn eine Band, die sehr stark auch mit dem Frontmann assoziiert wird, einen Nachfolger suchen muss – ist es besser einen Klon zu suchen oder neue Wege zu gehen? Wie lief das bei dir? Es mag natürlich sein, dass es für jemanden mit einer sehr Collins-ähnlichen Stimme einfacher gewesen wäre, aber es war wohl auch von Mike und Tony beabsichtigt, wieder etwas mehr in Richtung der früheren Gabriel-Zeiten zu klingen, deswegen habe ich wohl auch den Job bekommen.

  • Large-Scale Strategy and Compositional Design in the Early Music of Genesis
    Copyrighted Material 12 Large-Scale Strategy and Compositional Design in the Early Music of Genesis MARK SPICER Th e title of this chapter might remind some readers of an article by Andrew Mead that appeared in Perspectives of New Music more than two decades ago (Mead 1985), in which the author used sophisticated set-theoretic analytical techniques to dig beneath the surface of Arnold Schoenberg’s music, disclos- ing a “large-scale strategy” at work within several of the twelve-tone composi- tions. Mead had the advantage of writing for a scholarly community already well convinced of Schoenberg’s genius. I suspect the idea of placing the music of the British rock group Genesis in the same league as Schoenberg would be greeted with considerable skepticism—if not downright horror—by many musicologists, and this is certainly not my intent in the present essay. (Alas, it will probably require some drastic revolutions in taste before such early- Genesis classics as “Th e Return of the Giant Hogweed” are admitted into the canon of twentieth-century masterworks.) But I do hope to show that despite being several musical worlds removed from Schoenberg, Genesis’ music is rich, diverse, and equally worthy of our analytical attention. One of the most infl uential and long-lasting of the so-called “progressive rock” bands that emerged in Britain around 1970 in the wake of the Beatles, Genesis is probably better known to most pop-rock fans as the supergroup who made frequent appearances on the Billboard charts during the 1980s and early 1990s, with

And while it might not have become a pop culture phenomenon, the album and the song did find an audience among collegiate listeners. Charterhouse alumnus, recording artist, and producer Jonathan King heard the tape and arranged for the group to continue working in the studio, and it was also King who renamed the band Genesis. We are told in the second chapter of Genesis that God caused all the animals to pass before Adam to see what he would call them. But Peter Gabriel , with his growing array of costume changes and acting out of roles, far transcended anything seen on a rock stage -- it was true rock theater, and an intense listening experience. The members began thinking about getting on with their lives outside of music, and especially attending college. As you are aware, this is an unprecedented time and our agency needs are changing and evolving at a rapid pace.

  • TRAVERSES N° 34
    TRAVERSES n° 34 ● GENESIS REVISITED II : Concert au Festival de Cornouaille, le 26 juillet 2013, à Quimper Un guitariste « mythique » Pour le grand public rock, le nom de GENESIS évoque le trio Phil COLLINS, Mike RUTHERFORD et Tony BANKS, dernier avatar de cette formation qui s’est produite à Paris (pour la dernière fois ?), il y a quelques années. Pourtant, après une première époque (avec le guitariste Anthony PHILLIPS et le batteur John MAYHEW), peu après les débuts de sa renommée, dès 1971, ce groupe - dont le nom signifie la genèse -, était constitué de cinq musiciens. Les trois nommés (Phil : batterie/chant, Mike : guitares/basse, Tony : claviers/chant) ainsi que Steve HACKETT (guitare solo) et Peter GABRIEL (chant solo et flûte) enregistrèrent ensemble quatre albums qui sont à présent entrés dans la mythologie du rock progressif : Nursery crime (1971), Foxtrot (1972), Selling England by the Pound (1973), The Lamb Lies down on Broadway (1974). Après le départ de Peter GABRIEL en 1975, Steve restera le guitariste solo de GENESIS sur les deux albums studio suivants : A Trick of the Tail (1975) et Wind and Wuthering (1977). Steve HACKETT parti du groupe à son tour se consacra à sa carrière solo, ayant livré à ce jour un impressionnant nombre d’enregistrements rock, mais aussi de guitare classique (6 et 12 cordes). Depuis quelques années, notre musicien et chanteur présente le répertoire des « classiques » de GENESIS (Genesis Revisited) avec son groupe, donnant à entendre les partitions semblables à celles figurant sur les disques mentionnés. Un bon vieux concert ! Steve HACKETT s’est donc produit à Quimper le 26 juillet dernier entouré de Nad SYLVAN (chant), Roger KING (claviers), Gary O’TOOLE (batterie), Rob TOWNSEND (saxophones, flûte et percussions) et Dick CADBURY (basse et guitare double manche).

    DIE 3-CD GENESIS- ANTHOLOGIE ‘R-KIVE’ VÖ: 03. Oktober 2014 Erstmals vereint: 37 der besten Songs von Genesis und aus den Solowerken der einzelnen Musiker Am 03. Oktober wird Virgin EMI / Universal Music Catalogue die drei CDs umfassende Genesis-Anthologie ‘R- Kive’ veröffentlichen. Das 37 Songs umfassende CD-Set, das 42 Schaffensjahre umfasst, dokumentiert die Bandgeschichte mit klassischen Arbeiten von Genesis und ausgewähltem Material aus den Solokarrieren von Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett sowie Mike Rutherford / Mike + The Mechanics. Die Werke von Genesis und die aus der Band hervorgegangenen Soloprojekte sind im Laufe der Jahre zu einer mehr als bemerkenswerten Serie von Glanzleistungen angewachsen und haben es gemeinsam auf unglaubliche 14 Alben gebracht, die die Charts anführten, sowie zwei weitere Dutzend in den Top 10. Insgesamt wurden von Genesis und den Solowerken der Bandmusiker weltweit mehr als 300 Millionen Alben verkauft. ‘R-Kive’ enthält in chronologischer Reihenfolge die größten Hits von Genesis, darunter ‘Invisible Touch’, ‘Turn It On Again’, ‘Land of Confusion’ und ‘I Can’t Dance’. Dazu gesellen sich, in entsprechender Reihenfolge, Soloklassiker wie ‘The Living Years’ und ‘Over My Shoulder’ von Mike + The Mechanics, ‘In The Air Tonight’ von Collins und sein Duett mit Philip Bailey, ‘Easy Lover’, sowie Peter Gabriels ‘Solsbury Hill’. ‘R-Kive’ beginnt mit ‘The Knife’, einer neunminütigen Proto-Punk-Nummer, die bei den frühen Konzerten den krönenden Abschluss bildete und noch zu jener Zeit entstanden war, bevor Hackett und Collins zur Band stießen. Zu den insgesamt 22 Songs von Genesis ist jeder der fünf Musiker gleichberechtigt mit jeweils drei Songs seiner Solowerke vertreten.

  • MARK SPICER Genesis's Foxtrot* One of the Most Ironic
    MARK SPICER Genesis’s Foxtrot* One of the most ironic developments in Billboard chart history occurred in July 1986, when Genesis, basking in the success of having finally scored their first (and only) U.S. #1 hit with Invisible Touch were knocked out of the top spot just one week later by their former frontman Peter Gabriel, who, in turn, scored his first (and only) U.S. #1 with Sledgehammer. While I must admit to having a personal affection for their later records, I think it is safe to say that most fans would prefer to forget the slick, synthesizer-driven pop that characterized much of Genesis’s output in the 1980s and 1990s, and instead look back fondly to the first half of the 1970s — the golden age of British progressive rock — when the group was famous for crafting epic rock pieces in which the multiple shifts of texture, affect, tonality and groove echo those typically found, say, in a large-scale symphonic work by Liszt or Holst. Like Yes, Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP), Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Soft Machine, Henry Cow, and their other compatriots in British progressive rock during this remarkable period, Genesis did not set out to create music that was immediately catchy or danceable (although one can certainly imagine dancing, however awkwardly, to many of their odd-metered grooves). Theirs was serious music intended for serious listeners. Indeed, as John Covach has put it, “there was the perception [among fans] that these musicians were attempting to shape a new kind of classical music — a body of music that would not disappear after a few weeks or months on the pop charts, but would instead be listened to (and perhaps even studied), like the music of Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms, for years to come.” (Covach, 1997: 4) Figure 1 shows a chronology of Genesis albums released through October 1977, when guitarist Steve Hackett left the group and the three remaining members decided to continue as a trio.

  • Steve Hackett - Genesis Revisited
    STEVE HACKETT - GENESIS REVISITED Legendary Genesis guitarist’s first ever Australian tour. Steve Hackett, as the powerhouse guitarist for inarguably one of the most important progressive rock bands ever, has been a guiding influence for musicians and guitarists for over 40 years. Genesis, only ever made it to Australia once, in 1986 – years after Steve and singer Peter Gabriel left the band, so Steve is making it up to fans by bringing some Genesis magic to our shores. Genesis classics “Dance On A Volcano” and “Eleventh Earl Of Mar” have never been performed here, and Steve’s incendiary guitar work on a magnum opus such as “Dancing With The Moonlit Knight” will have jaws dropping. In this special Australian only show, Steve will also perform a couple of songs from his critically acclaimed new album, The Night Siren, before whetting the appetite for a grand finale that will leave fans ecstatic. “I'm thrilled to bring my Genesis Revisited tour to Australia. I'll be playing there for the first time and I'm hugely looking forward to it! It'll be great to meet fans and friends, and I know it's an incredibly beautiful country. I'm bringing a special set, including big favourites like ‘Supper's Ready’, ‘The Musical Box’ and ‘Firth of Fifth’ amongst many other stellar Genesis numbers and some solo. I can't wait!” Steve Hackett Steve is renowned for his dazzling guitar playing but his world class band is equal to the task, presenting extraordinarily proficient performances, sensitive to the original recordings yet adding very clear nuances and personality to the music.
