  • Music Reading Read the Passage, the E-Mail and the Festival Guide. the Glastonbury Festival Is an Unforgettable Sight. for Three
    Music Reading Read the passage, the e-mail and the festival guide. The Glastonbury Festival is an unforgettable sight. For three days, 280 hectares of peaceful farm country in the beautiful Somerset Valley become a vast, colourful tent city. The Glastonbury Festival is Britain's largest outdoor rock concert, and it attracts crowds of more than 100,000 people. It has six separate stages for musicians to play on. It has eighteen markets where fans can buy things. It has its own daily newspaper and is even broadcast live on television. It also raises large amounts of money for several charities, including Greenpeace and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Glastonbury is just one of many events on the international music festival calendar each year. For dance music fans, there's Creamfields, the Essential Festival and Homelands - all in the UK. Rock fans have Roskilde Festival in Denmark, Fuji Rock and Summer Sonic in Japan, and the Livid Festival and the Big Day Out in Australia. And the crowds just keep getting bigger. In fact, the size of some of these festivals is causing problems. Since the deaths of nine people at Roskiide in 2000 and the death of a young woman at the 2001 Big Day Out, festival organisers and local police have been working together to make sure festival-goers stay safe. Despite these tragic events, festivals are more popular than ever. And it's not just about the music. It's about making new friends and partying non-stop for days at a time. It's about dancing till you can't stand up anymore and then crashing in someone else's tent.

  • Jared Swilley,Album of the Week
    Daryl Sherman Celebrates Her Father at Chan’s See our video interview with Daryl Sherman Join jazz vocalist/pianist Daryl Sherman at Chan’s in Woonsocket on Saturday, October 25, to celebrate the life of her late father, the jazz trombonist Sammy Sherman. The performance will mark what would have been Sammy’s 100th birthday, and it will be a musical showcase not to be missed. Sammy Sherman was a masterful jazz trombonist and bandleader, at one time playing in New York City. Instead of chasing a distinguished career in music, Sammy decided to stay in Rhode Island, where he raised his children, worked in the restaurant business, and continued to head up his own groups. He played around the area, but ultimately his longest-lasting contribution to the music business was his daughter Daryl! At age 5, Daryl started taking an interest in music, singing along with her father at the piano. Since then, she’s enjoyed a distinguished musical career, including a 14-year residency at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York. She’s played with greats like Artie Shaw and Buddy Hackett and toured the world with her music. Sammy passed away at the age of 89 in 2003. His posthumous album released in 2004, called A Jazz Original Live at Chan’s, is the only real record of his work, and was recorded 1994-1998 when Sammy was in his 80s. This memorial show will be far from a solo performance; an all-star crew will help honor Sammy in style. The event will feature performances from local legend (and Woonsocket native) Greg Abate on saxophone, Jon Wheatley on guitar, Boots Malson on guitar, and David Sherman on trombone.

  • Im Zweiten Teil Der Arbeit Werden „Explanans“ Und „Explanandum“ Der Unter- Suchung Im Detail Beschrieben
    Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit werden „Explanans“ und „Explanandum“ der Unter- suchung im Detail beschrieben. Kapitel 4 ist der transnationalen Tonträgerindustrie gewidmet, die sozusagen den Kern der globalen Musikindustrie ausmacht. Anhand der von Richard A. Peterson vorgeschlagenen sechs analytischen Kategorien zur Untersuchung von kulturellen Produktionsmilieus wird der Strukturwandel der Industrie der letzten Jahrzehnte dargestellt. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf dem Prozess der Globalisierung und der Regionalisierung. Zudem werden auch erste Hypothesen über den Zusammenhang von Strukturen und musikalischer Vielfalt entwickelt. Die technologische Entwicklung, die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen, die Industriestruktur, Organisationsstrukturen, berufliche Rollen und die Konstruktion von Märkten werden uns aber nicht nur im Zusammenhang mit der Tonträgerindustrie, sondern auch mit den anderen Musikindustrien wie Radio und Musikfernsehen interessieren. In Kapitel 5 werden diese Industrien unter den ge- nannten Gesichtspunkten – wenn auch in etwas gestraffterer Form – einer Prüfung unterzogen. Schließlich gilt es aber auch die jüngsten Entwicklungen zu bewer- ten. Die Konsequenzen der Digitalisierung und der Verbreitung von Musik über das Internet sind noch schwer abzusehen. Doch obwohl die Tonträgerindustrie nach ihrer hundertjährigen Geschichte im Kern einen revolutionären Wandel vollzieht, lässt sich bereits erahnen, dass die Annahmen über die strukturellen Bedingungen der Produktion musikalischer Vielfalt auch im digitalen Zeitalter ihre Gültigkeit behalten. Kapitel 6 befasst sich ausführlich mit der Operationalisierung und Bewertung musikalischer Vielfalt auf globaler und lokaler Ebene. Dabei wird, wie im letzten Kapitel begründet, zwischen der Globalisierung als Angleichung der Regionen und der Globalisierung als regionaler Heterogenisierung bzw. Homogenisierung unter- schieden. Widersprechende Resultate lassen sich auch bezüglich der Konzentration auf Superstars im Mainstream einerseits und der Vielzahl von Nischen andererseits ausmachen.
