    ARSC Journal, Vol

    Sound Recordings sumably his own edition of the work which incorporates some cuts, reworkings, and harmonic alterations. While admittedly in the tradition of his time, this practice seems regrettable today, and mars an otherwise impressive recording. The Romanze of Schumann suits the pianist prefectly; his rubati breathe with­ out exaggeration. One would certainly like to hear more of his recordings of this composer. The Weber Perpetuum Mobile and Tausig's arrangement of Invitation to the Dance are, predictably, technically spectacular. But in the latter it is the pian­ ist's elegance and style that are the most memorable. The work is presented as a wonderful dance, not an excuse for technical bombast. One should also mention the charm the artist brings to Beethoven's little rondo. The Debussy and Ravel works certainly profit from Moiseiwitsch's technique and ear for color, though artistically he seems more at home in the nineteenth century. There are a few disappointments, such as the Barcarolle, which seems rather fast and uninflected, with an opaque tonal quality that is most unusual for this performer. Most surprisingly, Mendelssohn's delightful E Minor Scherzo is not under very good technical control. But these are minor complaints when compared with the overall quality of the collection. APR provides their usual high level of documentation, featuring recording dates, original catalog and matrix numbers, and a most informative appreciation by Bryan Crimp. The transfer work is excellent. There is some surface noise, but fortunately the excessive filtering that has deadened the sound of so many historic recordings appears not to have been applied.

    Voices in the Hall: Sam Bush (Part 1) Episode Transcript

    VOICES IN THE HALL: SAM BUSH (PART 1) EPISODE TRANSCRIPT PETER COOPER Welcome to Voices in the Hall, presented by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. I’m Peter Cooper. Today’s guest is a pioneer of New-grass music, Sam Bush. SAM BUSH When I first started playing, my dad had these fiddle albums. And I loved to listen to them. And then realized that one of the things I liked about them was the sound of the fiddle and the mandolin playing in unison together. And that’s when it occurred to me that I was trying on the mandolin to note it like a fiddle player notes. Then I discovered Bluegrass and the great players like Bill Monroe of course. You can specifically trace Bluegrass music to the origins. That it was started by Bill Monroe after he and his brother had a duet of mandolin and guitar for so many years, the Monroe Brothers. And then when he started his band, we're just fortunate that he was from the state of Kentucky, the Bluegrass State. And that's why they called them The Bluegrass Boys. And lo and behold we got Bluegrass music out of it. PETER COOPER It’s Voices in the Hall, with Sam Bush. “Callin’ Baton Rouge” – New Grass Revival (Best Of / Capitol) PETER COOPER “Callin’ Baton Rouge," by the New Grass Revival. That song was a prime influence on Garth Brooks, who later recorded it. Now, New Grass Revival’s founding member, Sam Bush, is a mandolin revolutionary whose virtuosity and broad- minded approach to music has changed a bunch of things for the better.

    Jim Rooney DAA Presentation by Art Menius IBMA World of Bluegrass Awards Luncheon September 29, 2016 Jim Rooney did me a big favor, writing. In It for the Long Run: A Musical Memoir, so that I could do this presentation. That’s being a friend. Jim is a man who has done it all while enjoying being in it for the long run in many relationships. Think of Bill Keith, Eric von Schmidt, or his eventual spouse Carol Langstaff. At Owensboro I remember Jim, tall and commanding, as his left hand powered the rhythm on a kick ass rendition of Six White Horses.” Not that he limited himself to Monroe covers. His interpretation of the Stones’ “No Expectations” became a go to song. His love for bluegrass began back in Massachusetts in the 1950s when he heard on a band called the Confederate Mountaineers at radio station WCOP. Inspired by the Lillys, Tex, and Stovepipe, it wasn’t too long before Jim was on WCOP himself and hooked on performing. At Amherst he met Bill Keith who would be a friend and musical partner for much of the next 60 years. In 1962, they recorded “Devils Dream” and “Sailor’s Hornpipe,” the first documentation of Bill’s chromatic style shortly before he joined the Blue Grass Boys. The tracks appeared on their Living on the Mountain LP. Their many collaborations would include the revolutionary Blue Velvet Band whose music spread worldwide person to person Mud Acres, and concerts and tours with many different aggregations and combinations. Jim enjoyed sharing a heritage award from the Boston Bluegrass Union and brought us to tears at Bill’s induction into the Hall of Fame.
