  • Steve Smith Biography 2020 Steve Smith's Drumming, While Always
    Steve Smith Biography 2020 Steve Smith's drumming, while always decidedly modern, can best be described as a style that embodies the history of U.S. music. Originally drawn to the drums by hearing marching bands in parades as a child in his native Massachusetts, Smith began studying the drums at age nine, in 1963. After high school, Smith studied in Boston at the Berklee College of Music from 1972-76, where he had private lessons with both Gary Chaffee and Alan Dawson. His original love of rudimental parade band drumming is evident in his intricate solos. Likewise, his command of jazz, from New Orleans music, swing, big band, bebop, avant-garde to fusion, plus his rock drumming sensibilities and knowledge of rhythms from India allow him to push the boundaries of all styles to new heights. In 1976, Smith began his association with jazz-fusion by joining violinist Jean-Luc Ponty's group and recording the 1977 landmark fusion album Enigmatic Ocean. It was while touring with rocker Ronnie Montrose a year later that Smith was asked to join the popular rock band Journey which brought his playing to the attention of a rock audience. With Journey, Smith toured the world and recorded numerous successful albums including the immensely popular Escape (which includes the ubiquitous hit song “Don’t Stop Believin’”) and Frontiers, both of which garnered the band many Top 40 hits. Journey’s albums have sold in excess of 75 million copies worldwide to date. In 1985 Smith left Journey to pursue his original passion, jazz, and to continue his developing career as a session player, bandleader and educator.

  • Santana | Africa Speaks
    Santana | Africa Speaks Carlos Santana (71) und seine diversen Bands gehören zu meiner musikalischen DNA. Die ersten drei Alben –Santana (1969), Abraxas (1970) und Santana III (1971) sowie Welcome (1972), Caravanserei (1973), Borboletta (1974) und das aus dem Jahre 2016 stammende Santana IV in nahezu Urbesetzung sind für mich unverändert aktuelle Musik, die regelmäßig auf dem Plattenteller dreht. Und die meisten der zahlreichen Veröffentlichungen auch, hinzukommen die frühen Journey, Abraxas Pool, einige Neil Schon Soloprojekte (herausragend: Beyond the Thunder), sie alle bilden meinen Santana-Kosmos ab. Das sich der Über-Gitarrist zeitweilig auf die Mainstream-/ Popseite geschlagen und erfolgreich radiotaugliche Schlagermusik abgeliefert hat, kann unter Betrachtung des bisherigen Gesamtkatalogs hingenommen werden. Um so erfreulicher, das Vorgestern veröffentlichte neue Album Africa Speaks, das -was für ein Klischee- überzeugend zu den Santana-Wurzeln zurückführt. Ehe ich jetzt in den Falle „falle“, wie es fast alle professionellen oder auch die unberufenenen Kritiker soeben tun, irgendein back-to-the-roots Geschwurbel ( … er kann es noch, klingt wie früher, zurückgekehrt in die musikalische Heimat etc.) und vertrackste Analysen über den Ursprung der 11 Titel anstelle, nur soviel: Africa Speaks ist ein tolles, mitreißendes Santana Album in der ursprünglichen Santana Sprache und die Fortsetzung von Santana 1 bis 4, so – als hätte es nichts dazwischen gegeben. Der Titel des Albums gibt genau das musikalische Thema wieder. Erstmals hat mit der 47 jährigen spanischen Concha Buika eine Sängerin das Sagen auf einem Santana Album und das wiederum schafft doch noch ein neues Feeling. Einfach klasse Musik. Damit ist alles gesagt. Das muß reichen. Hört Ihr`s, dann hört Ihr`s.

  • Greatest Hits on Earth Returning to the Hanover Theatre
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Greatest Hits on Earth Returning to The Hanover Theatre Worcester, Mass. (May 17, 2016) The former members and musicians who played with Boston, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Journey, The Storm and Rare Earth are coming to Worcester for one night this fall. Symply Fargone Productions and Greatest Hits on Earth – Live® present Rock & Pop Masters®, coming to The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts on Saturday, September 24 at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale now to members. Tickets go on sale to the public on Tuesday, May 24. In his younger days, Randall Hall attended the infamous Monkees tour where the legendary Jimi Hendrix was the opening act. While most attendees were busy booing Hendrix off stage, the former Monkees fan was entranced and decided heavy riffing was the way to go. Adding in the Southern flavor of the Allman Brothers, Randall formed his first band, Running Easy, in 1971. In 1987, Randall was asked to take the place of Allen Collins in Lynyrd Skynyrd after Collins’ paralyzing car accident. He remained a member of the band until 1994. Fran Cosmo exploded onto the rock scene when he took over for Brad Delp as the lead singer of Boston in 1992. Fran was featured as the lead vocalist on the “Walk On” album, which sold over one million copies worldwide. Prior to his success as the lead singer of Boston, he was the lead singer and song co-writer for both “Orion the Hunter” and Barry Goundreau albums. Fran Cosmo is known for his high-energy and outstanding vocal range on Boston songs that very few, if any, can perform.
