  • 20Th Century Masters Press Release
    1 FROM “THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN” TO “DIAMONDS & RUST,” NEW COMPILATION COLLECTS THE BEST OF JOAN BAEZ If Bob Dylan is the king of modern folk, then Joan Baez is surely the queen, with her sweeping soprano making her one of the most recognizable voices in music. But for the greatest artists, their songs resonate far beyond the music itself. Of no one is that truer than Baez. Since her first album 40 years ago, she has chronicled and perhaps helped mold the political and social changes that have swept across not only the U.S. but the world. On The Best Of Joan Baez edition of 20th Century Masters/The Millennium Collection (A&M/UMG), released October 19, 1999, 11 of her most popular and significant songs have been digitally remastered using the latest 24-bit/96k technology and brought together on one album. Spanning her A&M career from 1972-1976, The Best Of Joan Baez features the two most cherished songs for Baez fans--a live version of her 1971 #3 hit “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” (written by Robbie Robertson and originally recorded by the Band) and her acoustic 1975 Top 40 tribute to Dylan, “Diamonds & Rust.” Also included is her cover of Dylan’s classic “Forever Young” as well as covers of songs by Jackson Browne (“Fountain Of Sorrow”), John Prine (“Hello In There”), Janis Ian (“Jesse”) and her sister Mimi Farina (“In The Quiet Morning,” an homage to Janis Joplin). Another highlight is “Dida,” a breezy acoustic duet with its author, Joni Mitchell.

    BEAR FAMILY RECORDS TEL +49(0)4748 - 82 16 16 • FAX +49(0)4748 - 82 16 20 • E-MAIL [email protected] Troubadours Folk And The Roots Of American Music INFORMATION In the one hundred years that folk music has been recorded in the United States, the tradition has embraced ballads – mostly new, but some transplanted from Europe, political statements, personal introspection, and much more. Now the story is here from the 1920s to the 1970s and beyond in four exclusive 3-CD sets. Through this music, we feel it all from the isolation of early twen- tieth century Appalachia through the economic and political upheavals of the Depression, War, and Civil Rights eras to contem- porary west coast singer-songwriters looking within for inspiration. The story is here: original artists and original versions in stunning sound with detailed notes from folk scholar Dave Samuelson. The first set covers the period from the 1920s through to 1957. All the names you'd expect are here: the Carter Family, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, the Weavers, Lead Belly, Cisco Houston, and many, many more. Here are the original versions of songs that have become classics and rallying cries: Wildwood Flower, Midnight Special, Rock Island Line, Wayfaring Stranger, So Long It's Been Good To Know You, This Land Is Your Land, 16 Tons, 900 Miles, Delia, and many, many more. The second set begins with the folk revival that started in the wake of the Kingston Trio's Tom Dooley and continues through the dawn of the singer-songwriter era. It includes early folk revival classics like Walk Right In, Michael, and Green, Green.

  • Safaris to the Heart of All That Jazz
    Safaris to the heart of all that jazz.... JoniMitchell.com 2014 Biography Series by Mark Scott, Part 6 of 16 In January of 1974, Joni began an extensive tour of North America with the L.A. Express, wrapping up with three concerts at the New Victoria Theatre in London, England. The final concert at the New Victoria was videotaped and an edited version was broadcast on the BBC television program The Old Grey Whistle Test in November of 1974. Larry Carlton and Joe Sample were playing with The Crusaders at the time and both opted not to go on the road with Joni and the L.A. Express. Guitarist Robben Ford replaced Larry Carlton and Larry Nash filled in for Joe Sample on piano. In a 2011 interview for JoniMitchell.com, Max Bennett said that although the pay was good for this tour, the musicians could have made more money playing gigs in L.A. and doing session work in the recording studios. Max said that the musicians loved the music, however, and that they were treated royally in every way throughout the tour. Excellent food, first class accommodations, limousines, private buses and private planes were all provided for the band’s comfort. Max also made a point of mentioning the quality of the audiences that attended the concerts. Attention was focused on the performances so completely that practically complete silence reigned in the theaters and auditoriums until after the last note of any given song was performed. For Max Bennett, “As far as tours go - I've been on several tours - this was the epitome of any great tour I've ever been on.

  • Albert Vinicio Baez and the Promotion of Science Education in the Developing World 1912–2007
    Prospects (2007) 37:369–381 DOI 10.1007/s11125-008-9041-6 PROFILE OF EDUCATORS Albert Vinicio Baez and the promotion of science education in the developing world 1912–2007 Fernando Reimers Published online: 29 April 2008 Ó UNESCO IBE 2008 Alberto Vinicio Baez was a pioneer in the field of international science education. He was a physicist who played a leading role in UNESCO’s efforts to support science education globally. His research in the physics of light led to the development of an X-ray micro- scope and of imaging optics. He participated in projects to improve science education in high schools in the United States in the 1950s, a period of intense interest on this topic. In 1961 he was invited to join UNESCO to establish the Division of Science Education. In this position he wrote numerous papers, organized and participated in regional and international conferences, and studied and supported the development of projects to advance science and technology education in developing countries, with a special focus in secondary schools. The programme established the importance of science education, developed low-cost science kits, films and a structured, high-quality curriculum to support physics teachers in Latin America, chemistry education in Asia, biology education in Africa and mathematics education in the Arab States. Baez’s chief intellectual contributions to the field of science education centered on the development and dissemination of the ideas that it was necessary to democratize access to high-quality education in developing countries, that science education should focus on developing the capabilities needed to solve practical problems, and on the role of inter- disciplinarity and social responsibility as core foundations of science education.
