  • This Is Always Press Release
    Press Release Julien Wilson - This is Always - Lionsharecords LSR20131 Julien Wilson - Tenor Sax / Clarinet (Melbourne) Barney McAll - Grand Piano (New York) Jonathan Zwartz - Acoustic Bass (Sydney) Allan Browne - Drums & Cymbals (Melbourne) On Australia Day 2013, Wilson went in to the studio with three of his all time favourite musicians. Known primarily as a contemporary player, and leader of ensembles with often unusual instrumentation, his intention was to record a jazz ballads album in the spirit of the Prestige off-the-cuff “meeting session” recordings of the 50’s and 60’s. The band set up close together in one room, with no rehearsals and no headphones, to achieve as intimate and honest a connection as possible. The rhythm section brought together the dream-team of New York based pianist Barney McAll, Sydney’s superbly deep and swinging Jonathan Zwartz on bass, and Melbourne's favourite drummer, Allan Browne in a first time meeting. Together, they create a sound like no other band in the country. Deep yet light, Old School and hip, informed yet inspired. Recorded in Melbourne and mixed in New York, This is Always sparkles with the essence of the classic jazz quartets and conjures up the smoke-filled ambience of a ’50’s Parisian Jazz Bar. The album is the inaugural release on Wilson’s new label, Lionsharecords and was officially launched in concert at the 2013 Wangaratta Jazz Festival. In 2014, the quartet toured Australia’s East Coast to promote the album, recording again live and in the studio. This is Always was a finalist for an AIR Award for Best Independent Jazz Album and was Birdland Records’ #1 top selling Australian Album.

  • Abc Music Wins Three Awards at the 2020 Aria Awards Abc Music Lifetime Award Wins Now at 188
    THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ABC MUSIC WINS THREE AWARDS AT THE 2020 ARIA AWARDS ABC MUSIC LIFETIME AWARD WINS NOW AT 188 Following the 2020 ARIA Awards last night, ABC Music has collected three awards across the Best Children’s Album, Best World Music Album & Best Classical Album categories. The awards were won by Teeny Tiny Stevies ‘Thoughtful Songs for Little People’ (Best Children’s Album), Joseph Tawadros ‘Live at the Sydney Opera House’ (Best World Music Album) and Richard Tognetti & Erin Helyard ‘Beethoven & Mozart Violin Sonatas’ (Best Classical Album). Last night’s event saw Teeny Tiny Stevies win their first-ever ARIA Award. “We’ve been working musicians for so long now, this nod from the industry is definitely a proud moment. If I’m lucky I’ll get a few high fives from other parents at school drop off today,” said Byll Stephen, half of the sister duo. The night marked the fifth ARIA win for Tawadros and Tognetti. “It’s been a hard year for musicians everywhere - like me, most have had no live shows and it’s devastating. This recognition of my music is extra special, especially as it’s a live concert recording with a lively audience. I want to thank everyone who was involved in making it happen. It’s some much-needed light in a very challenging year,” said Joseph. On winning Best Classical Album with Richard Tognetti, Erin Helyard said, “Richard & I are old mates and are delighted to have won. We wanted to present a kind of history of the evolution of the eighteenth-century violin sonata, and the city of Vienna.

  • Iron Sharpens Iron: Duets for Two Women in the Teaching/Instruction of Undergraduate Women
    IRON SHARPENS IRON: DUETS FOR TWO WOMEN IN THE TEACHING/ INSTRUCTION OF UNDERGRADUATE WOMEN Laurissa Backlin, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2013 APPROVED: Lynn Eustis, Major Professor Richard Sparks, Committee Member Stephen Morscheck, Committee Member Jeffrey Snider, Chair of the Division of Vocal Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Backlin, Laurissa. Iron Sharpens Iron: Duets for Two Women in the Teaching/Instruction of Undergraduate Women. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2013, 61 pp., 30 figures, bibliography, 77 titles. Duet literature remains largely untapped as a pedagogical tool in the undergraduate voice studio. This dissertation examines the ways in which eight duets for female voices, although not written primarily for pedagogical use, may be used to teach four main areas of voice technique: intonation, vocal agility, legato singing, and dramatic skills. Duets are chosen primarily from the standard repertoire and are in English, German, French, Italian and Latin. The compositional styles range from the Baroque period through the 20th century. Genres include art song, oratorio, and opera. Each chapter focuses on one of the four vocal skills listed above, and includes examinations of two duets whose vocal writing (rhythm, tessitura, intervals, tempi, and text) make them appropriate candidates for pedagogical use in the improvement of that specific skill. Both male and female teachers of singing may utilize this project as a practical resource and model in how to use other duets, including those for other voice types, for similar purposes in their teaching studio.
