jazzweek.com • January 8, 2007 JazzWeek 8 Artist Q&A: Paddy Moloney of the Chieftains

t’s still several weeks until St. Pat’s day, but the Chieftains are poised to launch their annual U.S. winter jaunt, which Iculminates March 17 in New York City. JazzWeek caught up with the founder and leader of the band Paddy Moloney on a recent December day in Ireland. What follows is just piece of conversation that will likely be revisited in March. Sláinte! – Tad Hendrickson

JazzWeek: What’s going on? Paddy Moloney: Yes, indeed, I’ve got a Japanese singer, Chistow, and she seems to be very well respected in the Japanese market, she had a few hits and things, so she’s coming to Ireland tonight I’m meeting her tonight and we’re in the studio for the next four days recording a song which is half Irish/half Eng- lish and one of her own songs. She’s from one of the islands down off of Oki- nawa. And she’s just a young girl, she’s made a big name for herself now. Is it just you, or is it the whole band? It’s mostly myself, but I’m bringing in most of the band. I’m also going to ask, once I have it recorded and done – Ry Cooder has offered to throw a few little shapes on it as well. I have a nice little place for his wonderful, I call it his floor machine – it’s a big long instrument and it has wonderful effects. Is it like a stringed instrument? Yes it is. It’s like a slide guitar only about four times larger. Oh my god! And we used it on The Long Black Veil for the Sinead O’Connor song and the song “The Coast Of Malabar,” so it’ll be very interesting to see what happens. Any plans for the holidays? I’m mentioning the recording thing I might as well finish with that in case I forget. Apart from our own 40 years collection, The Essential Chieftains, which we’re promoting now this year in a bigger way. I think its paints a picture in sound of the life of the band for the last 45 years. One of the CDs covers just Chieftains only and is like a journey in music. It’s a double CD, the sec- ➤ jazzweek.com • January 8, 2007 JazzWeek 9 Artist Q&A: Paddy Moloney (continued)

ond has the collaboration stuff we’ve done over the years, and so that’ll be our main album that we’re promoting this year. And in addition to all of that, and, there’s a group over here called the Corrs, and they’re very very popular, and so they’re bringing out a compilation themselves which they’re including the track we did with them, “I Know My Love,” the song is. It gets played quite a lot. So we’ll be up there [on the charts] in the company of Bono and many other people that’s coming out for Christmas here. You know because Anything else? you go into a pub Here we are 45 years now, and should be slowing down an awful lot, but you the first thing you know we’ve just done a few concerts and television, like we’re on local television here on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. And doing big symphony or- want is a drink. chestra stuff and with big choirs for the Christmas show, from the Bells Of Dublin, you know, items from our Christmas albums. There’re a lot of little And then if there’s shows happening all the time. And of course we’re getting ready for our tour, a few tunes, which will happen the 5th of January we’re playing with the Houston Sympho- ny Orchestra. We’ve got the 5th 6th and 7th, three concerts. And then we just “grand. take off right around the whole country. What tricks do you have up your sleeve this year? We have a lovely surprise for everybody this year, there’s a group of young singers musicians, and a bit of dance thrown in for good measure. They’re called Liadan, it’s an Irish word. But they’re traditional native speakers, and they sing in harmony and its absolutely stunning. They also play whistle flutes, harp, accordion and fiddles, two fiddles. So they’re also will be on tour with us this year. Oh great. Yeah, so it’s of course it’s exciting we’ve been rehearsing some items with them and mixing it in they’re these very special guests, you might say. That’s why they’ll be coming on board. Well, you guys always bring guests. There’s always a little, yes. It wouldn’t be the Chieftains if we didn’t. And I think this year is no exception. I think there’s an exciting concert in store. And we’re almost finished now with an item called andro – its an old Breton dance tune and recorded way back in 1986 on Celtic Wedding, but we encourage people, our dancers will be there of course, and we encourage the people to get up and dance this, it’s a very easy dance like it’s a snake dance. Oh, you did that in at Carnegie hall last year. That’s right, we’re adding to it this time. You are? Yeah, and so I think we’ve developed it, let’s say that. It’s going to be a big; it’s going to be a big party this time as well. We’ll have bagpipers of course, and Jon and Nathan Polatzke. Jon will be playing fiddle with us of course. And ➤

their dancing is just stunning, you know. And in addition to that of course we have the lovely Tara Butler, that’s Gene Butler’s sister, who will also be dancing right through. And then you know we invite local dancers, local musicians to join us. And you can remember the crowd we had on the stage after the andro dance. It was very funny last year – I don’t think they were too pleased, the ushers and usherettes – but, when the crowd came up on the stage of Carn- egie Hall, you know that’s sacred ground you know! And they were shouting, ‘We made it! We made it! Carnegie hall!’ and they were dancing on the stage. At that stage I grabbed my pipes and I scooted out around the back and disap- peared. I let them all to it, you know with the house lights on. So its interesting because this music started out, as I understand it, as pub music, but one thing I think is unique for yourself and the band is that you’ve really kind of brought it into a completely diﬀerent world (such as Carnegie Hall) and made it so approachable. That was something I purposely set out to do when I formed the band I wanted to spread the gospel about this great folk art, this great music, and I purposely stayed out of pubs. It’s all wonderful, but I always felt that that wasn’t the that wasn’t the right place for what I wanted to do. So I purposely didn’t, don’t get me wrong, I mean Matt [Molloy] has his own pub, and we often play there, not as the band, but we play as solo musicians. And that continues, but, for presentation, for the Chieftains, and how I put the mes- sage across I just felt, not snobby or anything, I just wanted people’s full attention. You know because you go into a pub the ﬁrst thing you want is a drink. And then if there’s a few tunes, grand. Right. It’s similar to American jazz musicians when they took the music kind of out of the bars. Yeah, clubs, clubs, yeah ... And made it much more formalized ... Well you know it was only in recent years like since the ‘60s that it was tolerated, that you could play music in pubs at all. It’s just something that came about and became kind of commercial, here or anywhere. But before that, for someone to disturb you when you were in the middle of your pint of Guinness, that was a sacrilege. I mean, it was never tolerated. JW

Her timbre is feminine without being girlish and her phrasing is wholly straightforward and on the beat. She’s well supported by a piano trio, but trumpeter Sean Jones stops by for three tunes and it adds a nice wrinkle to the proceedings. Highlights include Stevie Wonder’s “You And I” and “Lullaby Of Birdland.” Less eﬀective are the bluesy “Stormy Monday Blues” and “Roll ’em Pete” – her voice doesn’t possess the grit that these tunes demand. This is, nonetheless, a solid eﬀort overall, particularly for those who fans can appreciate a well-crafted song. – Tad Hendrickson Contact: Tom Mallison Phone: (252) 756-6555 Email: [email protected] Add Date: Jan. 2 Release Date: Jan.
