  • Biography -- Printable Version
    Biography -- Printable Version Peter Wolf's Historical Biography Written & Researched by Bryan Wiser, and Sheila Warren with Mimi Fox. Born in New York City, Peter grew up in the Bronx during the mid-1950's in a small, three-room apartment where he lived with his parents, older sister, two cats, dog and parakeet. For some time, Peter lived with his grandmother, an actress in New York City's Yiddish Theater. She and Peter had a strong bond, and she affectionately named him "Little Wolf" for his energetic and rambunctious ways. His father was a musician, vaudevillian and singer of light opera. Like Peter did years later, his father left home at age fourteen to join the Schubert Theater Touring Company with which he traveled the country performing light operas such as The Student Prince and Merry Widow. He had his own radio show called The Boy Baritone, which featured new songs from Tin Pan Alley, and was a member of the Robert Shaw Chorale. As a result of such artistic pursuits, Peter's father underwent long periods of unemployment that created a struggle to make financial ends meet. Peter's mother was an elegant and attractive woman who taught inner-city children in the South Bronx for 27 years. A political activist, union organizer and staunch civil rights advocate, she supported racial equality by attending many of the southern "freedom rides" and marches. Peter's older sister was also a teacher as well as a photographer who now works as an advocate for persons with disabilities. She continues her mother's tradition, often marching on Washington to support the rights of the disabled.

  • Interview Feb, 2007
    The Murali Coryell Interview Feb, 2007 Acclaimed by CNN, Rolling Stone, & The New York Times soul singer/guitarist Murali Coryell has been blazing a trail that he was destined for before he was born thanks to the legacy of his famous father jazz guitar legend Larry Coryell. Murali has played and toured with B.B. King and Buddy Guy. Over the course of five CD's, Murali has recorded the songs of Sam Cooke, Al Green, and Marvin Gaye as well as the Chess blues classics on "2120". Having toured 40 states over his ten year plus recording career, Murali Coryell is a fully realized artist in complete control of a voice with soul to burn and the tastiest of guitar chops. December 2006: Big Al B calls me to tell me to come down to Scullers to see The Coryell Brothers All Star Band. This particular group consisted of Murali and Julian Coryell, (sons of the famous jazz guitarist Larry), Tony Levin on bass and Berklee stick man Kenwood Dennard. I showed up to the show half way through because I had mistakenly gone to the wrong club (blonde!) As I was outside of the door I could hear an amazingly soulful and deep blues vocal I had not heard live in y ears. I was really surprised when I saw this fairly young man on guitar who sounded as if he had already lived 70 years of gut wrenching soul like the blues masters of old. The professionalism, variety and sheer talent of this group was amazing, so when I was informed that NewEARS was going to host a show with Murali and guest musicians, I couldn’t wait to talk with Murali and see what was behind this soul man.

  • An Interview with George Thorogood
    An Interview with George Thorogood Okee dokee folks… Most folks know George Thorogood because of his song, “Bad To The Bone”, but after a conversation I had with him the other day I realized that he should really be singing “Bad On The Phone”! The interview was interesting and entertaining; punctuated by laughs, coughs, and sarcasm. I am not really sure what is accurate and what is true but here is the the conversation that I had with Thorogood. I didn’t note the laughter as I usually do, there was just way too much of it.

Chart-toppers like "FreezeFrame," "Centerfold," "First I Look At The Purse," "Must a Got Lost," "Give It To Me," and Magic Dick's own "Wammer Jammer" were in the Top Ten off and on for 20 years and made them one of the few top bands that featured a harmonica prominently in the frontline. Dick went on to start "Bluestime" with J. Geils after the original band broke up, making two CDs for Rounder Records. Dick is one of the most famed harp blowers on earth, partially because “Wammer Jammer” was played on Armed Forces Radio in Vietnam all thru the late 60s 'til the war ended.

  • Gestern Und Morgen
    Gestern und morgen Musik | J. Geils: ›Angel In Blue‹ und Calexico: ›The Thread That Keeps Us‹ Zum Jahreswechsel gab es wie immer unzählige Listen: beste Singles und Alben, traurigste Musikertodestage, schönste Musikvideos, auffallendste Bücher und auch schon Vorankündigungen auf anzuraten Neuestes. Statt Listen gibt es von mir eine ausgewählte Erinnerung an den markanten Rocker John Warren Geils, der von 20. Februar 1946 bis 11. April 2017 lebte und Gründer der J. Geils Band war. Von vielen zu Unrecht übersehen oder vergessen. Und von vielen gemocht wird der raue Indie-Rock von Calexico, die ›The Thread That Keeps Us‹ auf den Markt bringen. Von TINA KAROLINA STAUNER Blues-Handwerker und Chartstürmer Jay Geils In den 80er Jahren hatte ich eigentlich kein großes Interesse an Stücken der J. Geils Band. Die zu dieser Zeit von der Popmusik-Szene absorbiert wurde. Sie lief im Mainstream- Radioprogramm und ich hörte gelegentlich irgendwo ihre Songs ›Centerfold‹ oder ›Freeze Frame‹. Fast perfekt produzierte Songperlen für Hitlisten. Aber wenn ich in die Veröffentlichungen der Jahre davor reingehe, in die Bluesanfänge und Rythm ’n‘ Blues -Zeit, packt mich sofort die direkte Power und der ungestüme Drive der Band. Der gebürtige New Yorker John Warren Geils hatte Top-40-Hits für jeden, aber wenn man sein Œuvre durchforstet, tauchen die ersten Platten der ungeschliffenen 0er-Jahre auf und die coolen 70er-Jahre- Rocksongs, die Hörgewohnheiten, Einschätzungsvermögen und Feeling für Gitarrenmusik prägen konnten. Jahrelang gehörte J. Geils mit seinen Mitmusikern zur härteren Blues- und Rockszene und ein Song wie „Looking For A Love“ lässt sofort an alles erinnern. Bei manchen Musikritikern genügte damals die Attributation scharf oder heiß als Qualitätsbezeichnung und eine Lieblingsnummer zu nennen.
