dear readers, ll in all, it’s been a pretty great summer over here at Roll as we embark on our fourth year of bringing you the good stuff in the Hudson Valley: art, sustainability and creative lifestyle. Been hot enough for you lately? a Once again the Rosendale Street Festival was hosted on what seemed to be the hottest day of the year. It felt almost like New Orleans in August, and that’s some kind of hot y’all. Apparently, so far this is the hottest year recorded….for the whole world. Hoo boy. ThE ROMANTIC GENERATIONS: BARBER/SChuMANN/ChOpIN Yeah, we were feeling pretty darn good about ourselves a month or so auguSt Schedule back when we had the good fortune to talk with Pete Seeger.

Alan really knows his stuff on both counts, and to me he is a more reliable source than most regional newspapers and blogs. It was nice of Sat. | 21 | 6 pm • Fred herSch, jazz piano him to take some time with Roll, and I think we had a great interview.

Starting college at sixteen, at SUNY New Paltz in the 80s, she so great about love, the human spirit, and the more permanent reality had a professor tell her portrait painting was no way to make a living. So of paint on canvas. All with a healthy dose of compassion and humor to she decided to go into graphic design, as a major “it was more practical, which jpegs do no justice. creating and making money.”

In 1984—while still in college—she got a grant that allowed her to attend a special graphic design conference in Aspen, where, “there was this tiny little room, with this little computer, a little box: the first Mac. With a picture of Lady Di on it, you could scribble on her and print it out.” By he reason there are so few portrait artists these days: 1989 she made sure she had one of the top of the line Macs available— it’s an expensive luxury during economic hard times. back when they were pretty expensive—and was thus able to work from Galleries don’t generally show exhibitions of portraits home. “I was on the cutting edge, really took advantage of it.” either, unless they’re old as hell, of people we either shouldn’tT forget, or really should. And, well, to be honest, quite often Nadine got her degree, went to Brooklyn and meanwhile became the most interesting subjects these days are in absolutely no position “pretty much a self-taught painter.” She had a sweet gig doing design to commission such a labor-intensive work for themselves. work for Citicorp, “doing their branding. Then, I did it for Chase—I was in the financial industry when things were good!” When the market But then there’s Nadine, who actually has documented evidence of took a quick tumble in 1989, she was one of the thousands who got laid being a portraitist as early as the age of four.

But she’d met a special guy in New Paltz, whom she’d gone to school with, and eventually they decided to meet in the middle, marry, and move in together in Garrison. Then they moved to Rhinebeck in 1993, where she ran her design agency Namaro Studios—derived from the first two letters of her three names—while still working primarily with clients in the City. Meanwhile she was getting unique training from an unexpected source: “As a designer on Adobe Photoshop, I spent years of having to take guys and fix their ties, take out moles, add hair to them. And I was learning a lot about faces. And when I started painting again—around 1999—I was surprised that I knew more, just jumping in, than I thought I would.”

Things changed drastically in 2001, with the birth of son Wyatt, and, uh….that other thing that year. “He was born right after 9-11. And, you know, everything changed. Lost my edge, I guess,

just went somewhere else.” One way that Nadine worked things out was different stages, try to re-figure out who I am. That’s why they’re called to do her first major portrait: Wyatt. As somebody she would have no ‘Portrait Peaces,’ they’re peaceful things.” The project required eight trouble looking at for long periods of time, working long hours to fill in portraits of couples, carefully selected from responses to a general email the substance between the lines, he was of course the ideal subject. The call, to be painted over a period of two years. “I have a process set up so portrait seems suffused with maternal warmth and invested spirit, and that I’m sure I’m painting the right (people). Because it shows up if you made for a great first work in the genre. like them or you don’t.”

Nadine was still at a low, and around that time made a decision to do Selected couples—many of whom are friends and/or acquaintances— a large-scale project. “The story behind what I call the ‘Eight Portrait then have a short interview with Nadine, where she gets to know them Peaces,’ is, like anybody else, that at certain points of your life the ‘shit a little better, while taking notes and making observations, using her hits the fan.’ I decided as I was doing these things to try to just get through graphic design skills to get good concept ideas going. “After there’s some

her type-A personality won’t let her chill for too long; even as she takes a short summer break, she always keeps current with modern social media. And with her husband finishing nursing school and starting his new career, she plans to pull back on the graphic design business—still going with select clients—and get deeper into painting. “It’s evolved into not about the project, but about developing a new career. I don’t know where it’s going to go, but it always seems to come back to people, to their faces, to just capturing something about them. I love photography, but painting…just goes somewhere else.”

Nadine should be painting people full time; her portraits shine with life, wit, and soul. Those whom she has painted have all had the option to buy at a serious discount, one subject even traded some large-scale sculpture for theirs. But truly, she has a gift; seeing her portraits, I see humanity and love jumping off the canvas, in ways photography could Woodstock never duplicate. As Nadine puts it so well, “My portraits are real. They endure, they give pleasure, they bring tears, they capture essence, they Guitar are a record of a place in time.

Making the case for 12-tone serialism to those whose ears are only partially open can pose a challenge. As with avant-garde jazz, the music generally eschews a tonal center and rarely offers the listener the lifeline of a recurring melody. But just as the shrill, fiery blasts of Albert Ayler impacted the more accepted work of John Coltrane, the music of Alban Berg (1885-1935)—the focus of this year’s Bard Music and SummerScape Festivals—and his Modernist companions of the Second Viennese School, Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern, has had a strong influence on many pivotal composers who followed—Stravinsky, Bartok, Satie, Boulez, Gershwin, and Glass, to name a few. And though the early 20th-century Austrians’ output makes no apologies for its potential esotericism, it’s also music beloved for the impressionistic Romantic style passed down from an earlier local, Gustav Mahler. Berg’s compositions, however, are known as the most Romantic of the latter Vienna scene, though the tag pertains more to his music’s highly expressive, lyrical side, rather than any literal allusions to romantic love. But those are in there, too—for one who knows where to listen.

“Berg’s music can be very autobiographical, there are a lot of secrets and personal clues hidden within his pieces,” says professor Christopher H. Gibbs, Bard Music Festival’s co-artistic director, who will oversee two talks on Berg for the event. “For instance, his most famous work, the [1935] Violin Concerto, is said to have encrypted references to a mistress he had. Some of the keys he would use would be the

14 | rollmagazine.com initials of a girlfriend, and so on.” Additionally, his 1926 Lyric Suite has been shown to contain elaborate ciphers alluding to a clandestine affair, and for literal romance the opera Lulu (1935)—Berg’s “sexual horror story”—was highly controversial.

ut of his many mesmerizing works Lulu was by no means the only one that caused a kerfuffle; 1912’s Five Songs on Picture Postcard Texts by Peter Altenberg sparked riots when it was premiered the following year, and theB performance had to be halted. His first opera, Wozzeck (1922), a tale of jealousy and murder with music that evokes insanity, was savaged by critics when it was first performed in 1925, although it eventually became a hit and is now considered one of the 20th Fri.

Rosie Ledet is the real zydeco deal, born and raised in Louisiana, and learning the music from listening to Boozoo Chavis and Morris Ledet, who eventually became her husband and accompanist. With eight records since her debut in 1994, she’s become a zydeco festival staple with her Zydeco Playboys, blending sultry singing with energetically soulful accordion playing (Fr 8/13). Though she’s an original New Yorker, Shannon McNally made her home the road, opening for folks like Ryan Adams, Stevie Nicks, and John Mellencamp, before eventually ending up in the South (Oxford, MS), where her mix of blues, country, and soul found the right place to coalesce. With her new band, Hot Sauce, she’s working her recent release Coldwater, which was recorded at legendary (and recently passed away) producer Jim Dickinson’s Zebra Ranch in Coldwater, MS.

Fr-Su 8/13 t h r o u g h 15- THE PHOENICIA FESTIVAL OF THE VOICE, pe r f o r mi n g i n five ve n u es , Ph o e n icia —A year ago this month, three internationally acclaimed opera singers—Maria Todaro (Opera Nacional di Rio di Janiero), Louis Otey (Metropolitan Opera) and Kerry Henderson (Opera Australia)—staged an evening of “Opera Under the Stars” in their adopted town of Phoenicia, with the goal of raising money for local playground equipment.

Despite inclement weather, the evening was w r o

such a success that they decided it shouldn’t be a c

one-off, and with this year’s Phoenicia Festival i r e F

of the Voice, they’ve made into a three-day h

event that covers a wide variety of vocal music. o s e p The festival kicks off Friday evening (8/13, 8:30 J PM, Phoenicia Park) with world-renowned soprano Elizabeth Futral, then a full day of Saturday singers starting with gospel artist Rozz Morehead (8/14, 11 AM, Methodist Church), followed by Native American artist Joseph Firecrow (1 PM, Phoenicia Park), Richard Maltby Jr. and David Shire’s musical revue Closer Than Ever (2 PM, Shandaken Theatrical Society), children’s music with Uncle Rock (4:30 PM, Railroad Museum), and sacred music with composer/pianist Mitchell Bach (6:30 PM, Catholic Church). The night closes with an all- star cast performing Verdi’s Falstaff, with The Metropolitan Opera’s own Steven White conducting (8 PM, Phoenicia Park). Sunday features two shows in the park: a comedic performance by pianist Justin Kolb and actor Jay Braman (2 PM), and the Choral Closing Concert is the grand finale, featuring multiple choirs from the area (2:30 PM).

The music of Cleoma’s Ghost sounds like a party, especially on their new album, Take LARA HOPE & THE CHAMPTONES— Me Back: A Cajun Reverie. It’s the kind of party HEARTBEAT found on rickety front porches on lazy summer (Champtone Records) nights, fireflies dancing in the distance. In many ways, the album’s Cajun party vibe is Rockabilly is alive and well and living in Saugerties. At least that’s inherent in the music, some originals and some how it shakes out on Heartbeat, the new EP by Lara Hope & the already familiar. But even more so, it’s in the Champtones, a six-song collection that’s either timeless, retro or authenticity the musicians bring to the table. some combination of the two.

Johnson Sextet- Berlin & London 1964 (Impro-Jazz DVD) Philly Joe Jones Dameronia- Look, Stop and Listen (Uptown Records) Kenny Dorham- The Flamboyan, Queens, NY 1963 (Uptown Records)

Much like the revered Jazz Icons DVD series we’ve covered in the past, the Impro-Jazz label has been mining the vaults for vintage footage of visiting American artists shot for European TV. Trumpeter Buck Clayton is best known as a soloist with Count Basie and as a sideman with Billie Holiday. But he was also of vital importance as an arranger and the organizer of many key small- band jam sessions, notably for Columbia Records during the 1950s. The first portion of Brussels 1961/ London 1965 finds Clayton leading a company of fellow swing-era vets, Basie alumni, and blues singer Jimmy Witherspoon. For the London taping, the horn man is backed by Humphrey Littelton’s orchestra with trombonist Vic Dickenson. The appearance of immortal shouter Big Joe Turner ups the essential-viewing factor.

But as nicely as Clayton’s own bands could swing, few outfits swung harder than that of his former boss arranger Tad Dameron. Count Bassie. Although Live in Berlin & Stockholm 1968 stars a big band Look, Stop and Listen was recorded in 1983 by famed engineer Rudy Van of mainly next-generation Basie players, still on board are long-time Gelder, who, long unhappy with the original production, remixed this guitarist Freddie Green and Lester Young’s immediate replacement Uptown CD reissue. The results: sparkling athletic boppers like the title on tenor, Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis. The concerts are dominated by tune (two takes) and sublime ballads showing off pianist Walter Davis, electrifying Neal Hefti, Quincy Jones, and Sam Nestico charts, and Jr. (“Dial B for Beauty”) and guesting tenor titan Johnny Griffin (“If You the Count’s take on the upstart bebop landmark “Night in Tunisia” Could See Me Now”). is a blast. Another tenor sax giant, Joe Henderson, is in the house for The Flamboyan, And if you’re a bebopper you could do worse than the Sonny Stitt- Queens, NY 1963, a radio broadcast led by ace trumpeter Kenny J.J. Johnson Sextet’s Berlin & London 1964. This vital offering features Dorham (yet another Parker cohort).

Common Prayer has its collective fingers in so many pies, it’s not Russo’s indie pedigree is certainly a sound one. A former touring member unreasonable to think of them as kitchen sink connoisseurs. They’re of Mercury Rev, his primary musical outlet has been his own Hopewell, based both in Kingston and Brooklyn, but with a tangible connection a psych rock outfit who’ve released five albums and a pair of EP’sof to England; they both embrace technology yet retain a classic, almost increasingly accomplished music. But while he’s still very much a part rural approach to music. Common Prayer is complicated, and it of Hopewell, Russo began crafting a collection of songs which needed a works for them. different perspective.

“Basically, one of my other personalities needed to make a record,” he said. “Hopewell was busy releasing last year's record, Good Good hough certainly a band in every sense on stage and Desperation. And once the Hill Farm barn studio got a hold of the songs, on record (the fantastic debut, There is a Mountain), they strayed so far out of Hopewell territory the project couldn't help Common Prayer is primarily the work of two people: but take on a life of its own.” Jason Sebastian Russo and Alexandra Marvar. The musicalT partnership was borne of a romantic one, though the balance in The Hill Farm barn in question is located in Steventon, an English village nuance and temperament is more successful than one might have seen south of Oxford. in mid-‘70s Fleetwood Mac or mid-‘90s Spiritualized. Whatever tension is found in the music of Common Prayer, it’s in its inherent “Our friends, the Bennetts, throw the Truck Music Festival there every inclusiveness rather than drug-induced paranoia. year, and they keep a recording studio in a storage container in one of the

33 | rollmagazine.com cow barns,” Russo recalled. “I went with a head full of about ten songs. And we built them using anything we could find laying around—broken drum machines, a rusty French horn, empty barrels...we even used the barn door as the kick drum.”

The music which became There is a Mountain was mixed with Damon Whittemore at Valvetone Studios in Brooklyn, the entire process from inception to completion a rather quick process which Russo applauded as “impulsive.” Indeed, the album has a charmingly unhinged feel, a rural psychedelic folk vibe running throughout, with the odd sample, electronic rhythm or backwards loop adding texture to the whole. It’s a party, one of love and celebration, and if that sounds a little corny it’s unintended. Even a cynic with a cold, barely beating heart in his chest would be hard pressed to not get a rush of warmth from the shuffling rhythm, subtle harmonies and glorious organ in “Of Saints.” And even when things get a little weird (“Moneyspider”) or comparatively noisy (“Hopewell”), it’s absolutely comfortable and worth every bit of attention one is willing to give it. Never mind the local connection; There is a Mountain is one of the universal albums of the year, period.

Of the band’s English connection, they’ve spent much of July and early Russo said the connection is also tangible in the atmosphere, especially August of this year there, and in Wales as well, playing shows and adding between Steventon and Kingston. “The landscapes resemble one new fans a little bit at a time. It’s a process they plan to continue upon another,” he said. “When we’re in England, it never feels too foreign. their return to America, in Brooklyn, the Hudson Valley and eventually At least not musically.” beyond. Even the band’s name is derived from an English visit, where Russo and Marvar spotted a book called Common Prayer in a box outside Already in the works are shows in the Hudson Valley, including a a closed Oxford bookshop. showcase at Backstage Studio Productions in Kingston on September 11 and the O+ Festival, also in uptown Kingston from October 8-10. “The Brits have a different perspective on what we do, because they see It’s all a part of Common Prayer’s hands-on approach to music, one it as ‘American music,’ and they are in general more thoughtful about which incorporates a timeless sense of community into the modern it because of its foreign origins,” Russo said. “The music that has mass indie aesthetic. appeal in England is fairly close to the kind of music Common Prayer makes, whereas in America the more popular types of music are hip-hop “An indie band in today's musical landscape is a band that is free,” said and R&B.” Russo. “It can do whatever it wants: It is not bound by convention; it is not sales-driven; it doesn't have hair and make-up or wardrobe provided. It is the music of the folk. These days the cheapest way to make music is a laptop, so intricate-sounding recordings can be produced by common people and made widely available, thanks to basic home digital recording technology and the internet. The problem then becomes, how do people sort out the wheat from the chaff. But since journalism has followed the same path, writing and musical criticisms are cheap and easy to make widely available via the blogosphere. So there are more independent music critics for more independent music makers. And now anybody with a modem and the motivation can discover new music and seek out the accompanying critical feedback.

Musical theatre has celebrated everybody from lowlife (Guys and Dolls, Designed for a tenor, baritone, soprano and mezzo, the show depicts Les Miserables) to royalty (The King and I, Evita).

This year is no exception: Ric Siler’s one-man show Old Hickory (directed by Norman) has him playing five characters in this engrossing story that explores family, the choices we make and the extremes we go to when we see no other way out- all with a healthy dollop of Appalachian culture, wisdom and humor. Fishing in Brooklyn features writer/performer LaTonia Phipps (directed by Libya Pugh) telling the story of a young woman on the road to self-discovery through the eyes of 12 characters, including the inquisitive and sassy Tia, a 10 year-old girl who, while watching her mother die of cancer, manages to bring a sense of light to the world falling down around her. Award-winning “clown” Bob Berky reprises his popular show Out Of the Box, and the ever-devolving comedy/music duo Mikhail Horowitz and Gilles Malkine bring their hilarious new show Good Buy, Columbus! to their sorely taxed fan base. Actor/ playwright Norman Thomas Marshall performs his powerful one-man show John Brown: Trumpet of Freedom, depicting the historical figure’s last moments before execution, and poetry readings by the Goat Hill Poets—a group of Hudson Valley writers—have two scheduled readings/performances. One of the

new shows work-shopped with the Fringe’s “First Looks” staged reading series is In Trouble! by Jerry McGee. Also planned: a night of Jacques Brel and Edith Piaf.

Switching to the use of Ron’s new solar electric “G” meant that he could weed his fields without the use of any herbicides whatsoever.

46 | rollmagazine.com I hope you’ll interpret your experiences in the coming weeks with a similar perspective, Sagittarius.

CAPRICORN (De c . 22-Ja n . 19): While flying over water, an eagle can spot a fish swimming from 300 feet away. As it prowls through a winter landscape, a coyote can detect the presence of a mouse bustling beneath thick snow. I suspect you’ll have a comparable knack for tuning in to things that are of keen interest, Capricorn, even if they are hidden or located at a distance. To maximize your advantage, get clear about what you’re hungry for. Build a vivid image in your mind’s eye of what you need.

AQUARIUS (Ja n . 20-Fe b . 18): Lola, a woman I know, has mastered the art of self-contradiction. She makes no apologies for the apparent oppositions she gladly contains. For instance, she’s perfectly at ease with the fact that she is not only a lesbian anarchist skater punk who’s a prolific graffiti artist, but also a devout Christian who doesn’t consume drugs or alcohol, drives a Lexus SUV, and volunteers as a massage therapist at a hospice. Your internal paradoxes may or may not be as extreme as hers, Aquarius, but I urge you to express them with the panache that she does.

PISCES (Fe b . 19-Ma r c h 20): My friend Erica went to a Chinese herbalist, seeking help for a skin problem that hadn’t been healed by six other doctors. “Very rare condition,” the herbalist told her. There was only one thing he knew that would work: Erica would have to travel to the Ruoergai Marshes in Sichuan Authorized Dr. Hauschka dealer Province, China and track down a White-tailed Eagle, whose fresh Gluten-Free Products droppings she would gather up and apply to the affected areas of her skin. As the prospect of such a pilgrimage was daunting, Erica decided instead to simply imagine herself carrying it out. After a week of such meditations, her skin had improved. In 21 days, she wasn’t completely cured, but she was much better. The moral of the story, Pisces: Simply visualizing a heroic healing quest may help fix your glitch.
