Folkdays… Spirituelles Feeling und Blues-Roots Musik | Valerie June: ›The Order Of Time‹ Wenn bei Valerie Junes Songwriter-Stil vom Vermischen oder Verwischen der Genres und Dekaden gesprochen wird, die im Folk, Blues, Country, Bluegrass, Rhythm ’n‘ Blues, Soul und Pop liegen, ist ihr Americana doch eigentlich so unpuristisch nicht und ziemlich Blues-lastig. Von TINA KAROLINA STAUNER Was von der Afroamerikanerin allerdings auch auf der CD ›The Order Of Time‹ aufgehoben wird, ist die Grenze zwischen schwarzem Blues und weißer Countrymusik. Mit einem Feeling aus Old Time Music, also Country, und afrikanischen Wurzeln in Beat und Rythmus im Inneren der Songs als Kern. Valerie June spielt hauptsächlich Gitarre, Banjo und Ukelele. Die Roots des Americana und das Feeling des Delta-Blues sind ihr Element. Der Sound ihrer Produktionen klingt spirituell und wurde von manchen als »Organic moonshine roots music« bezeichnet. Ursprünglich Proletarierin scheint sie manches in der Inszenierung und den Arrangements aus Spirituals übertragen zu haben. Mit authentischem Americana und Blues-Roots wirkt sie etwas wie ein weibliches Pendent zu Otis Taylor. Memphis und NYC sind bisher die prägenden Lebensräume und Musikszenen der 35-jährigen Valerie June Hockett. Sie kann namhafte Kollaborationen mit Norah Jones, Dan Auerbach von den Black Keys u.a. nennen. Mit ihrem 5. Album ›The Order Of Time‹ fokussiert die Musikerin das Thema Zeit: »Zeit, die einzige Konstante im Leben, obwohl sie in stetem Fluss ist. Sie heilt alle Wunden und tötet jeden Menschen. Sie ist zugleich endlich und unendlich, sie bewegt sich in Drehungen und Wendungen …« Aufgenommen wurde auf dem Land in Vermont mit dem Produzenten Matt Marinelli. Valerie June kennt das rurale und urbane des Blues und der Folkmusik. Gelassenheit soll eine Stärke von ihr sein, denn Widrigkeiten und Brutalitäten des Lebens setzt sie ihre Songs wie Blüten entgegen, wird über June gesagt. | TINA KAROLINA STAUNER Titelangaben Valerie June: ›The Order Of Time‹ Caroline/Concord (Universal).

Roots-Stjerneskuddet Valerie June Betager I VEGA
2013-11-05 13:27 CET Roots-stjerneskuddet Valerie June betager i VEGA VEGA og ICO præsenterer Roots-stjerneskuddet Valerie June betager i VEGA Valerie June har med sin blændende stemme og sit særegne mix af alle stilarter, roots-genren har at byde på, imponeret anmeldere og The Black Keys' forsanger, Dan Auerbach, der har produceret hendes debutalbum. Oplev hende tirsdag den 15. april i Lille VEGA. Valerie June formår at smelte blues, folk, gospel, soul og bluegrass sammen til en indtagende form for fusions-roots, som hun selv kalder “organic moonshine roots music”. Beskrivelsen passer meget godt på den autencitet, hendes musik gennemstrømmes af. Som den største naturlighed formår hun at favne størstedelen af den amerikanske musikhistorie, hvor der både er strejf af Dolly Parton, Billie Holiday og lidt Wanda Jackson. Den selvlærte sangerinde har en fortryllende evne til at række ind og ruske lytterens musikalske hukommelse rundt, så følelser og minder flagrer rundt i nye konstellationer. Da hun tidligere i år spillede shows til branchefestivalen SXSW, strømmede anmelderroserne ind, og pladeselskaberne stod i kø for at signe hende. Dan Auerbachs aftryk Efter at have arbejdet sig frem mod et større gennembrud de sidste ti år, fik Valerie June uventet hjælp fra MTV-serien $5 Cover, som handler om Memphis-musikere, der kæmper for at starte en karriere. Hendes uafrystelige stemme fangede opmærksomheden hos producer Kevin Augunas (Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Florence & The Machine). Sammen med The Black Keys-forsangeren Dan Auerbach indspillede de debutalbummet Pushin’ Against a Stone. Sydstatssumpe og ikoner Førstesinglen fra albummet er den standhaftige blues-pop-hymne ”Workin’ Woman Blues”.

Press Record and Just Get the Hell out of the Way.”
MAVIS STAPLES “I’m the messenger,” Mavis Staples says on the eve of her 80th birthday. “That’s my job—it has been for my whole life—and I can’t just give up while the struggle’s still alive. We’ve got more work to do, so I’m going to keep on getting stronger and keep on delivering my message every single day.” That message—a clarion call to love, to faith, to justice, to brotherhood, to joy—lies at the heart of ‘We Get By,’ Staples’ spectacular twelfth studio album and first full-length collaboration with multi-GRAMMY Award-winner Ben Harper. Backed by her longtime touring band, Staples breathes extraordinary life into Harper’s compositions on the record, delivering roof-raising performances with both a youthful vigor and a commanding maturity. The arrangements here are spare but weighty, matched by Harper’s suitably lean and thoughtful production, and Staples seizes the opportunity to showcase her remarkable and continued evolution as an artist, one still growing and exploring more than half a century into her storied career. ‘We Get By’ is undoubtedly a timely collection, arriving such as it does in the face of deep social divisions and heightened political tensions, but like everything Staples touches, it’s also larger than any particular moment, a timeless appeal to the better angels of our nature that’s universal in its reach and unwavering in its assurance of better things to come. “When I first started reading the lyrics Ben wrote for me, I said to myself, ‘My God, he’s saying everything that needs to be said right now,’” Staples remembers.

March 2014 Newsletter
March 2014 NEWSLETTER A n E n t e r t a i n m e n t I n d u s t r y O r g a n i z a t i on Music Historian Ashley Khan: The State of Jazz Today Interview by Grant Mabie for iRockJazz.com Ashley Khan is a journalist, music historian, producer, and adjunct professor at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. In addition to contributions to the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Down Beat, Jazz Times, and Mojo, Khan has authored Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece (2001), A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane’s Signature Album (2002), and The House That Trane Built: The Story of Impulse Records (2006). He has also served as road manager for Henry Threadgill, Cassandra Wilson, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Hugh Masekela, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Britney Spears, and others. Khan has also worked as a deejay, video producer, music editor, and concert promoter. In this exclusive recent conversation with iRock Jazz, Khan shares some of his insights on Davis and Coltrane. He also uses his studies on these pioneers as the foundation for a far-reaching discussion of the state of jazz today. iRJ: Having done both books, one on Miles and one on Coltrane, how would you now define jazz, based off of those and what you know of the industry at large? AK: That’s a big question. Jazz is one of those things that defines itself. If a performer, a composer, a bandleader, a record label, anyone wants to define themselves as jazz, usually it’s jazz, because it’s not something that people are running towards.
