The Barns at Wolf Trap Welcomes Ladysmith Black Mambazo; Schooner Fare; David Crosby, Washington Saxophone Quartet; and the Alternate Routes January 21, 2014 Contact: Camille Cintrón, Manager, Public Relations 703.255.4096 or [email protected] The Barns at Wolf Trap Welcomes Ladysmith Black Mambazo; Schooner Fare; David Crosby, Washington Saxophone Quartet; and The Alternate Routes All Shows at The Barns at Wolf Trap 1635 Trap Road, Vienna, VA 22182 Ladysmith Black Mambazo Monday, January 27, 2014 at 8 pm Wednesday, February 5, 2014 at 8 pm $40-$42 Three-time Grammy winners, Ladysmith Black Mambazo have been sharing their uplifting South African isicathamiya (Zulu a cappella) musical traditions since the 1960s in frequent solo shows and in collaboration with renowned artists, including Stevie Wonder, Dolly Parton, and Melissa Etheridge. In 1986, the joyful, all-male a cappella group reached a global audience when they brought their rich vocals to Paul Simon’s album Graceland in 1986. Their newest album, Always With Us (2014), pays tribute to Nellie Shabalala, the late wife of Black Mambazo founder-leader Joseph Shabalala, by making a fully-produced cycle of songs featuring their own voices alongside vocals she recorded before her death in 2002. Video: Ladysmith Black Mambazo – “Homeless” Schooner Fare Friday, January 31, 2014 at 8 pm Saturday, February 1, 2014 at 7:30 pm $27-$32 The Maine-based band Schooner Fare is known for its unique repertoire of songs and its energetic concerts. With six- and twelve-string guitars and five-string banjos, the duo is adept at transitioning from Celtic folk to classic sea shanties and traditional folk. Their most recent album, Roots and Wings (2010), is self-described as a “reflective” project, as it reaches back toward their beginnings. Coupled with both classic songs and new interpretations of modern hits like “Angels in the Snow,” the album mirrors the evolution of the band’s musical output. Video: Schooner Fare – “Portland Town” an evening with David Crosby Monday, February 3, 2014 at 8 pm Tuesday, February 4, 2014 at 8 pm Thursday, February 6, 2014 at 8 pm $80-$90 David Crosby rose to fame as a founder of folk-rock band the Byrds in 1963 and continued to make musical history with the Woodstock era-defining group Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN). As a member of harmony-rich CSN, Crosby penned famous tracks “Guinevere” and “Wooden Ships” on their 1969 self-titled debut album. It is included on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The trio still performs together and embarked on a European tour in 2013. Crosby has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame twice, once with Crosby, Stills & Nash, and a second time with the Byrds. In late January 2014 he will release CROZ, his first solo studio album since 1993, which Crosby says is experimental and different than anything he has done before. Video: Thousand Roads – David Crosby Washington Saxophone Quartet The Discovery Series Friday, February 7, 2014 at 8 pm $35 To commemorate the 200th birthday of Adolphe Sax, Washington Saxophone Quartet celebrates the instrument Sax invented at this Barns performance. The ensemble is the most widely heard saxophone quartet in the United States and their recorded arrangements have aired daily on NPR’s All Things Considered since 1997. The quartet has performed recitals, informal concerts, and master classes in the United States, the Caribbean, and China, and on television and radio worldwide for nearly 35 years. The ensemble taps into a rich repertoire, from early music to newly commissioned works, and draws on a wealth of experience to reach listeners of every age and background. Their newest album, Different Times, Different Places (2009), comprises a collection of the quartet’s performances over the past decade. The Alternate Routes Saturday, February 8, 2014 at 7:30 pm $22 Praised for their “unfailing melodic and soulful touch” (Performing Songwriter), The Alternate Routes are bona fide road warriors who win over audiences with catchy alt-rock singles and energetic live shows. Friends Tim Warren (vocals, acoustic guitar) and Eric Donnelly (lead guitar) founded the group in 2004 in Connecticut. Highlights from their musical career include opening a tour for O.A.R. and performing on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. The Alternate Route’s introspective, pop-fueled single “Ordinary,” from their 2007 album Good and Reckless and True, won a 2006 Independent Music Award for best pop/rock song. Their third studio album, Lately (2010), was recorded in Nashville and is more spontaneous and raw than previous records, reflective of the band’s evolving sound.

  • Artikel Interview James Raymond 17-11-2016
    “We hebben altijd lol in de studio ” Interview James Raymond – 17 november 2016 Stel je eens voor: je bent na je geboorte ter adoptie afgestaan en hebt dertig jaar lang geen idee wie je biologische ouders zijn. Totdat je biologische moeder je vertelt dat je de zoon bent van niemand minder dan… David Crosby! Dat overkwam James Raymond, een toetsenist uit Californië die al jarenlang in de muziekscene actief was. Voor James was het geen verrassing dat zijn biologische vader ook muzikant was – zo’n vermoeden had hij altijd al – maar hij had nooit gedacht dat die persoon dé David Crosby zou zijn! Van de legendarische band CSNY had James nog nooit een plaat gekocht, zelf was hij meer een liefhebber van muziek van de Beatles, Elton John, Stevie Wonder en (vooral) Steely Dan… Kort nadat David eind 1994 een levertransplantatie had ondergaan, hebben de beide man- nen elkaar voor het eerst ontmoet. Een ontmoeting die na een ongemakkelijk begin al snel hartelijk en goed was. Ook op het muzikale vlak klikte het tussen vader en zoon, zoals is te horen op het in 2014 verschenen album Croz . James en David hebben er geen spijt van dat ze elkaar niet eerder hebben ontmoet. ‘Ik vind het vreselijk om te moeten zeggen maar in die periode kon ik nog niet eens een Kleenex-doos opvoeden’, merkte David dan ook ooit treffend op. Maar na al die verloren jaren is de band tussen vader en zoon gelukkig weer volledig hersteld. Tekst: Godfried Nevels In een eerder interview zei je dat I Want To Hold Your dat hij in het ziekenhuis lag voor een levertransplanta- Hands van The Beatles jouw eerste single ooit was en tie.

  • August 2012 Newsletter
    August 2012 Newsletter ------------------------------------ Yesterday & Today Records P.O.Box 54 Miranda NSW 2228 Phone: (02) 95311710 Email:[email protected] www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au ------------------------------------------------ Postage Australia post is essentially the world’s most expensive service. We aim to break even on postage and will use the best method to minimise costs. One good innovation is the introduction of the “POST PLUS” satchels, which replace the old red satchels and include a tracking number. Available in 3 sizes they are 500 grams ($7.50) 3kgs ($11.50) 5kgs ($14.50) P & P. The latter 2 are perfect for larger interstate packages as anything over 500 grams even is going to cost more than $11.50. We can take a cd out of a case to reduce costs. Basically 1 cd still $2. 2cds $3 and rest as they will fit. Again Australia Post have this ludicrous notion that if a package can fit through a certain slot on a card it goes as a letter whereas if it doesn’t it is classified as a “parcel” and can cost up to 5 times as much. One day I will send a letter to the Minister for Trade as their policies are distinctly prejudicial to commerce. Out here they make massive profits but offer a very poor number of services and charge top dollar for what they do provide. Still, the mail mostly always gets there. But until ssuch times as their local monopoly remains, things won’t be much different. ----------------------------------------------- For those long term customers and anyone receiving these newsletters for the first time we have several walk in sales per year, with the next being Saturday August 25th.

  • Big Sid” Catlett: the Development of Modern Jazz Drumming Style”
    ARTIMISI, ANTHONY B., D.M.A. The Study of Jeff Porcaro's Musical Style and the Development of an Analytical Model for the Study of Drum Set Style in Popular Music. (2011) Directed by Dr. David Nelson and Dr. Kristopher Keeton. 206 pp. Jeffrey Thomas Porcaro was one of the preeminent drummers from the middle of the 1970‘s through his untimely passing on August 5, 1992. He was a founding member of the Grammy Award winning band, Toto, and the list of albums on which his drumming appears includes six hundred ninety-three entries. His willingness to help others and commitment to excellence made a lasting impact on the drumming community and the music industry as a whole. The goal of this research was to complete an analysis of Porcaro‘s drumming style. In order to accomplish this goal, a model was developed that allowed for the analysis of drum set performance based on Robert Breithaupt‘s article entitled ―Musical Considerations for Drumset Improvisation.‖ This article identified nine strategies teachers can use with young students regarding drum set improvisation. Seven of these strategies were used to form a comparative analytical model of musical elements which created a summary of drumming style implemented on Jeff Porcaro for the purposes of this paper: Dynamics, Rate of Strokes, Accents, Rests and Rhythmic Figures, Unisons, Hand-to-Foot Distribution and Special Effects. Porcaro‘s peers and colleagues identified six songs as being representative of his drumming: Boz Scaggs‘s ―Lowdown,‖ ―Lido Shuffle,‖ ―Gimme the Goods‖ and ―Jojo,‖ Steely Dan‘s ―Gaucho,‖ and Toto‘s ―Rosanna.‖ The analytical model applied to the choruses of these songs shows that Porcaro manipulated the different musical elements in a variety of way in order to build to a musical peak during the final chorus of each song.
