It is often ironic, satirical, and critical, but at the same time joyful, social, musical, colorful, and—most im- portantly—traditional! Locals have always known that their Fasnacht is something special, but on December 7, 2017, it became official when the Basler Fasnacht was added to the UNESCO’s list of the “intangible cultural heritage of humanity”! The UNESCO committee stated that “The carni- val contributes to social cohesion, promotes tolerance through social criticism, and helps safeguard the local dialect. Transmission occurs infor- mally in families, while the ‘cliques’ also play an important role throughout the year, with several having a section dedicated to encouraging the next generation” (https://ich.unesco.org). The Basel Fasnacht is the second Swiss tradition recognized by the UNESCO this way, following the wine- grower’s festival in Vevey, which has been on this list since 2016. The Basler Fasnacht starts with the Morgenstreich on Monday morning at 04:00 and ends with the Endstreich at 04:00 on Thursday morning. The 72 hours in between are filled with a variety of events, including two huge main parades with over 11,000 participants, a children’s carnival, a lantern exhibit, a float exhibit, and Gugge concerts on three stages in the town center. The carnival has been successfully safeguarded over past decades thanks to measures taken by the communities. If you haven’t experienced the Basler Fasnacht yet—be there on Monday, February 19, at 04:00; be sure to set your alarm clock, bundle up, and witness a tradition that UNESCO considers worthy of preserving. Below is a schedule and description of the various events to enjoy this Fasnacht. To read more about Basel’s Fasnacht, you can visit their official sites at www.fasnacht.ch or www.basler-fasnacht.com. Additionally, the official Fasnacht committee has put together a wonderful brochure explaining Fasnacht in detail; to download the English version, go to their website at www.fasnachts-comite.ch/allgemein_en and click on “Bro- chure Basel Carnival” on the bottom of the page. To view the film submitted in support of the Basler Fasnacht’s application to the UNESCO, go to www.basler-fasnachts-welt.ch/unesco.html and click on the first “Link”; the film is in Basel dialect with English subtitles.

    [% META title = 'The Deep Purple Discography' %] The Deep Purple Tributes Here we will try to keep a list of known Deep Purple tributes -- full CDs only. (Covers of individual tracks are listed elsewhere.) The list is still not complete, but hopefully it will be in the future. Funky Junction Plays a Tribute to Deep Purple UK 1973 Stereo Gold Award MER 373 [1LP] Purple Tracks Performed by Eric Bell (guitar), Brian Downey (drums), Dave Lennox (keyboards), Phil Lynott (bass) and Fireball Black Night Benny White (vocals). Strange Kind of Woman Hush Speed King The first known Purple tribute was recorded as early as 1972. An unknown, starving band named Thin Lizzy (which consisted of Bell, Downey & Lynott) were offered a lump sum of money to record some Deep Purple songs. (The album contains also a few non-DP tracks.) They did - with the help from two Irish guys. The album came out in early 1973. It wasn't a success. In February, Thin Lizzy had a top ten hit with a single of their own. Read more about it here.

  • Discography of the Mainstream Label
    Discography of the Mainstream Label Mainstream was founded in 1964 by Bob Shad, and in its early history reissued material from Commodore Records and Time Records in addition to some new jazz material. The label released Big Brother & the Holding Company's first material in 1967, as well as The Amboy Dukes' first albums, whose guitarist, Ted Nugent, would become a successful solo artist in the 1970s. Shad died in 1985, and his daughter, Tamara Shad, licensed its back catalogue for reissues. In 1991 it was resurrected in order to reissue much of its holdings on compact disc, and in 1993, it was purchased by Sony subsidiary Legacy Records. 56000/6000 Series 56000 mono, S 6000 stereo - The Commodore Recordings 1939, 1944 - Billy Holiday [1964] Strange Fruit/She’s Funny That Way/Fine and Mellow/Embraceable You/I’ll Get By//Lover Come Back to Me/I Cover the Waterfront/Yesterdays/I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues/I’ll Be Seeing You 56001 mono, S 6001 stereo - Begin the Beguine - Eddie Heywood [1964] Begin the Beguine/Downtown Cafe Boogie/I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me/Carry Me Back to Old Virginny/Uptown Cafe Boogie/Love Me Or Leave Me/Lover Man/Save Your Sorrow 56002 mono, S 6002 stereo - Influence of Five - Hawkins, Young & Others [1964] Smack/My Ideal/Indiana/These Foolish Things/Memories Of You/I Got Rhythm/Way Down Yonder In New Orleans/Stardust/Sittin' In/Just A Riff 56003 mono, S 6003 stereo - Dixieland-New Orleans - Teagarden, Davison & Others [1964] That’s A- Plenty/Panama/Ugly Chile/Riverboat Shuffle/Royal Garden Blues/Clarinet

  • Blueink Newsletter April 2016
    B L U E I N K APRIL 2016 Gator By the Bay Brings Musicians Together in Exciting Pairings Now in its 15th year, Gator By the Bay, May 5-8, 2016, has become a wildly popular San Diego festival tradition known for presenting an eclectic mix of musical styles and a fun- filled atmosphere. Wander among the festival’s seven stages and you can listen to everything from authentic Louisiana Cajun and Zydeco music to Chicago and West Coast Blues, from Latin to Rockabilly and Swing. In recent years, Gator By the Bay has also earned a stand-out reputation for bringing together stellar combinations of musicians in innovative mash-up performances, presenting musical groupings you won’t hear anywhere else. This year is no exception. On Saturday, May 7, San Diego’s own multiple gold guitarist Johnny Vernazza will share the Mardi Gras Stage with blues greats Roy Rogers and John Németh. Often lauded as the “Master of the Slide Guitar”, Roy Rogers’ distinctive style is instantly recognizable. He’s shared duets with such greats as John Lee Hooker and Allen Toussaint, and teamed up with the likes of Norton Buffalo and Ray Manzarek. Harmonica virtuoso, vocalist and songwriter John Németh has multiple Blues Music Awards nominations to his name, and his album, ‘Memphis Grease’, won Best Soul Blues Album at the 2015 Blues Music Awards. He has been nominated for the Blues Music Awards 2016 B.B. King Entertainer of the Year Award, to be given out on May 5. Other notable combined artists’ performances include Sugaray Rayford, Alabama Mike & the Drop Ins with harmonica master Rick Estrin and harmonica and guitar whiz-kid Jon Atkinson on Friday evening, May 6, and Jon Atkinson with Rick Estrin and Fabulous Thunderbird alumna Kim Wilson on Saturday, May 7.
