  • Bluesrock Vom Feinsten
    © Paul D. Bartsch, Halle (Saale), 2017 LIVERILLEN No. 03 Bluesrock vom Feinsten 00 Jingle + Begrüßung: 03:00 ➢ Und damit herzlich Willkommen zur dritten Sendung der LIVERILLEN hier auf Radio CORAX auf UKW 95,9 und weltweit im Netz – einen guten Tag wünscht Paul Bartsch! ➢ Wie stets gibt’s ausschließlich Konzertmitschnitte direkt von Vinyl, mit Knistern und Knacken > analoger Hörgenuss im digitalen Zeitalter! ➢ Heute lautet das Motto: Bluesrock vom Feinsten / ein Musikstil also, der ganz gegensätzliche Reaktionen hervorruft: Die Einen fühlen sich gelangweilt vom angeblich immer gleichen 12-Takt- Blues-Schema, und die anderen sind gerade von dieser zeitlosen Kraft und Urwüchsigkeit fasziniert! ➢ Ich persönlich gestehe, zu Letzteren zu gehören, zumal schon durch die jeweilige Spielweise der Protagonisten eine große Vielfalt entsteht, was auch die heutige Sendung mit ihren ausgewählten Liveaufnahmen sicher zeigen wird. ➢ Und da geht’s zunächst ganz tief in die Mottenkiste der populären Musik, ohne dass ich nun die Bluesgeschichte in Gänze aufrollen werde. Aber dieser schwarze Musiker ist nicht wegzudenken für das, was seit den 1960er Jahren dann als Bluesrock firmierte. Musiker wie Keith Richards, John Mayall oder auch Eric Clapton sind vor dieser Gitarre ehrfürchtig niedergekniet, auch wenn die wenigen erhaltenen Aufnahmen Jahrzehnte zuvor entstanden waren – die Rede ist von Robert Johnson, dem 1911 im US-Staat Mississippi geborenen Gitarristen, Sänger und Komponisten, der nach nur 27 Jahren verstarb – Giftmord? Syphilis? Todesursache offen – die Legenden ranken. Dazu gleich mehr – hier ist Robert Johnson, der King des schwarzen Delta-Blues, mit seiner Komposition „Love In Vain“ – ein ziemlich bitteres Liebeslied, live eingespielt bei einer Aufnahmesession im Jahr 1937: 01 Robert Johnson: Love In vain 05:00 ➢ Robert Johnson – an ihm ist wohl keiner der später und bis heute dem Blues verfallenen Musiker vorbeigekommen.

P.O. Box 250 Ellerslie, Georgia 31807 Principal Investigator, Daniel T. Elliott _________________________________ April 2002 Abstract Archaeological data recovery at the Hannah’s Quarter site (9Jf195) in rural Jefferson County, Georgia was conducted by Southern Research Historic Preservation Consultants in 2001. This project was performed for the Georgia Department of Transportation through a contract with Earth Tech in Raleigh, NC as Section 106 compliance in advance of the Fall Line Freeway construction. The archaeological study uncovered a small residential compound from the late eighteenth through early nineteenth centuries. Three dwelling loci and one possible outbuilding locus were delineated. The occupation at this site was evidenced by a series of cultural features, including pits, posts, and cellars and extremely sparse material culture evidence. The settlement began as part of the Queensborough Township, which was populated by Scots-Irish Presbyterians from northern Ireland from about 1768 to 1772. William Hannah was identified as a strong candidate for being the original owner of the property at 9Jf195.

    visitors center: OPEN M-F 10 AM - 4 PM 104 E. 126th Street, #2C, New York, NY 10035 (Take the 2/3/4/5/6 train) WWW.JMIH.ORG THE NATIONAL JAZZ MUSEUM IN HARLEM PRESENTS Giant Steps Unison Tommy Flanagan George Mraz/Zoe (Enja) Rahman (Cube-Metier) Harlem Speaks by Andy Vélez A SPECIAL SERIES HONORING HARLEM HEROES Recorded in 1959, Giant Steps became John Coltrane’s first genuinely iconic album. Pianist Tommy Flanagan was among the players on the recording, which was 10/31 David Amram notable stylistically for a movement away from chordal Multi-instrumentalist/ composer/ author jazz. This reissue of Flanagan’s 1982 Giant Steps is an homage to Coltrane, repeating several of the tracks while adding “Central Park West”. During the ‘80s, Photo copyright Richard Conde. THE NATIONAL JAZZ MUSEUM IN HARLEM 104 EAST 126TH STREET, SUITE 2C DONATION SUGGESTED 6:30 - 8:30PM FOR MORE INFORMATION: 212-348-8300 Flanagan favored trios and frequently played with Czech-born bassist George Mraz. Theirs was a felicitous coming together as evident here and recalled fondly by denizens of Bradley’s, a long-gone-but-not-forgotten Village jazz spot where they appeared frequently. Flanagan is notably more confident with what had been a new idiom the first time around. That sureness of technical facility is evident from the first note to the last and the same is true for Mraz. By this time the latter had become one of the most dependable of October 4: FFEAR rhythm men. Together they are as close as pages in a $18 ADVANCE $20 AT DOOR book on a funky “Cousin Mary”.

  • GIVING a JAZZ RECORD AS a GIFT by Eric Myers National Times, December 7, 1980 ______
    GIVING A JAZZ RECORD AS A GIFT by Eric Myers National Times, December 7, 1980 ______________________________________________________________ The National Times opera critic JOHN CARMODY, Sydney Morning Herald jazz critic ERIC MYERS and rock writer SHANE NICHOLS prepared this guide to records most likely to be gratefully received. They cover a range of tastes and should be available. ______________________________________________________________ f you are buying a jazz record as a gift, you should determine the style preferred. There are so many different, although related, idioms I congregating under the banner of "jazz" that it is rarely possible, these days, to buy a "jazz" album that suits all tastes. Duke Ellington At Fargo 1940 Live (Book Of The Month Records 305622). If the recipient likes big band jazz, you could do no better than the three-record set Duke Ellington At Fargo 1940 Live (Book Of The Month Records 305622). This was a performance at the Crystal Ballroom, Fargo, North Dakota, on 1 November 7, 1940. Many critics believe, with some justice, that this particular line-up of musicians was the greatest that Ellington ever assembled. This was a special performance - the first night Ray Nance played in the trumpet section, having just replaced Cootie Williams, who had left to join Benny Goodman. Rex Stewart is also in the section.
