In 1983, she co-founded ‘Til Tuesday, a new-wave band that found success with its first album, Voices Carry. The title track became an MTV favorite, winning the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist, propelling Mann and the band into the spotlight. After releasing three albums with the group, she broke up the band and embarked on a solo career. Her first solo album, Whatever, was a more introspective, folk-tinged effort than ‘Til Tuesday’s albums, and received uniformly positive reviews upon its release in the summer of 1993. Mann’s song “Save Me” from the soundtrack to the Paul Thomas Anderson film Magnolia was nominated for an Academy® Award and a Grammy®.

AM: You know I think there is a thing that living in LA, it helps just being around, there are certain things where you just run into people or seeing someone at a party and they have a project, it’s more likely that they think of you than somebody that they haven’t seen for a long time, I think there’s a weird causal effect that helps JF: Is that how you wound up playing a maid in Portlandia?

  • Sean Hayes Before We Turn to Dust
    SEAN HAYES BEFORE WE TURN TO DUST "Before We Turn to Dust," San Francisco based songwriter Sean Hayes' newest release was written and recorded in the same year he became a father. You can hear the love and struggle throughout. In one moment Hayes is singing "you may spend all your money before you turn to dust / but you'll never spend all your love.” In the next moment, reminiscent of Bill Withers' classic "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone," he flips it with his line "I miss her when I'm gone/ but I've got to make my money" and goes on to intone "bring it home, bring it home, bring it home/ to my lady and my baby." There is something raw and down-home about this music. Simple and straightforward the piano, guitar, drums, bass, occasional horns and back-up singing surround his warm, vibrato- laden voice that leads the way, down "side street alleys" or to "that spot with the jukebox where we can sing your favorite tune." Like great Country or Soul music these songs tell simple stories that also make you want to move. "Damn, the way you walk that thing/locked in the pocket make a body ring" from the song "Bam Bam" almost has your hips in motion from the lyrics alone. Frazey Ford from the folk group The Be Good Tanya's joins the singing for a duet on the album's last track, a lullaby "Innocent Spring." Hayes is notably accompanied by veterans Andrew Borger (Tom Waits/Norah Jones) on drums, Devin Hoff (The Nels Cline Singers, Xiu Xiu) on bass and relative new comers Ezra Lipp (Thao + The Get Down Stay Down) on drums and multi-instrumentalist Eric Khun (Silian Rail) on keys, drums and percussion.

  • Full Frame 2015
    Michael Montes is a composer of music for films, album projects and all other media. He was born in Houston, Texas, the son of Anne Pryor, an American nurse and Mario Montes, a Peruvian doctor who came to the United States in the early fifties. The family eventually settled in idyllic Eden, NY. He began piano studies at age seven, quit in rage and frustration, returned feverishly at age thirteen and later dropped out of medical school in order to pursue composition as his life's work. As a child his first film music experience occurred while watching the Jules Verne classic Mysterious Island. Years later he discovered that Bernard Herrmann had composed the score. Later on Pink Floyd became an influence, specifically their innovative production techniques and use of hallucinatory textures. While studying at Bard College he joined the chamber choir that specialized in the works of Renaissance composer Josquin des Prez. After school he steeped himself in the world of Brian Eno, tape loops and musique concréte while working with modern dance troupe Floorplay. Moving to New York City he began an extended period of composing in every possible genre for television commercials while collecting multiple Clio and AICP awards. Several of his pieces are included in the permanent collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art. He was brought in to work with Aimee Mann's band 'Til Tuesday as keyboardist for their album Everything's Different Now and subsequent tour. He created the Zoar project, a series of dark atmospheric albums. The debut album, Cassandra, was released on the Philip Glass label Point Music.

Featuring percussion as the common link, each piece on the program partners the percussionist with one or more collaborators. The evening will culminate with Crossing, a septet composed by Beversluis, the Greensboro Symphony’s Resident Conductor. Zlotnick anchors the performance. Collaborators include: Debra Reuter-Privetta, flute; Stephanie Ezerman, violin ; Kirsten Swanson, viola; Grace Lin Anderson, cello; Eric Willie, percussion; and Beversluis, piano. “It’s an all-star assemblage of musicians,” says Chris Williams, EMF’s Executive Director. “Zlotnick, Reuter-Privetta, Ezerman are colleagues in the Greensboro Symphony, where Beversluis conducts. Anderson is the founder of the Triad Chamber Music Society, Willie serves on the UNCG faculty, and Swanson is on the UNC-Charlotte faculty. They’re all top-notch.” Touching on a number of musical concepts, including minimalism and improvisation, the works to be performed include Steve Reich’s Nagoya Marimbas (for two marimbas), Osvaldo Golijov’s Mariel (marimba and cello), selections from Bartok’s Bagatelles (on vibraphone and piano) and Baljinder Sekhon’s Compass (for viola and percussion).
