Jared Swilley,Album of the Week Daryl Sherman Celebrates Her Father at Chan’s See our video interview with Daryl Sherman Join jazz vocalist/pianist Daryl Sherman at Chan’s in Woonsocket on Saturday, October 25, to celebrate the life of her late father, the jazz trombonist Sammy Sherman. The performance will mark what would have been Sammy’s 100th birthday, and it will be a musical showcase not to be missed. Sammy Sherman was a masterful jazz trombonist and bandleader, at one time playing in New York City. Instead of chasing a distinguished career in music, Sammy decided to stay in Rhode Island, where he raised his children, worked in the restaurant business, and continued to head up his own groups. He played around the area, but ultimately his longest-lasting contribution to the music business was his daughter Daryl! At age 5, Daryl started taking an interest in music, singing along with her father at the piano. Since then, she’s enjoyed a distinguished musical career, including a 14-year residency at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York. She’s played with greats like Artie Shaw and Buddy Hackett and toured the world with her music. Sammy passed away at the age of 89 in 2003. His posthumous album released in 2004, called A Jazz Original Live at Chan’s, is the only real record of his work, and was recorded 1994-1998 when Sammy was in his 80s. This memorial show will be far from a solo performance; an all-star crew will help honor Sammy in style. The event will feature performances from local legend (and Woonsocket native) Greg Abate on saxophone, Jon Wheatley on guitar, Boots Malson on guitar, and David Sherman on trombone. There will also be a guest appearance by jazz vocalist Jean McKenna O’Donnell. Even if you’ve never heard of Sammy Sherman, you should check out this show for the pure entertainment value. It will be a great way to celebrate the life of a talented musician by enjoying the music of some local jazz heavyweights, and it’s sure to be a blast for one and all! Chan’s Oriental Dining is located at 267 Main St. in Woonsocket, RI. Tickets can be purchased through Chan’s website. It’s All About The Little Things With Roz & The Rice Cakes When it comes to the Providence music scene, few bands can rival the originality, genuity and overall sense of fun that’s abundant in the music of indie-pop act Roz & The Rice Cakes. If you’ve been checking out the band’s Facebook page recently, frontwoman Roz Raskin is on a never-ending quest to find the littlest things on Earth. Whether it’s kangaroos, dragons or dogs, Roz always seems to appreciate the little things in life in a very literal way. With the appreciation of all things small in full force, it’s only fitting that Roz, Justin Foster & Casey Belisle will be putting on “A Little Show” at the Columbus Recording Company in the Columbus Theatre in Providence’s west end on Sunday, October 26. Everything will be mini on this night. Mini sandwiches, mini cupcakes and mini drinks will be served, followed by mini sets from The Rice Cakes and Erica Sutherland from local dream-pop act Littlefoot. “In an effort to explore the ideas of space, size and experimental instrumentation, ‘A Little Show’ is a unique event in which we will be playing tiny instruments in an alternative space,” says Raskin about the show. “The Columbus Recording Company is generously allowing us to perform in their studio and we will be serving tiny foods, tiny drinks, and other tiny surprises.” There’s limited space available and you can buy tickets at the link below. Maybe to fit the theme you can make your purchase on the tiniest computer imaginable with a shrunken debit card. Regardless, this show should be a whole lot of fun to attend. Don’t be a square, come on through and I’ll see you there. Ticket link: https://thericecakes.bandcamp.com/merch/a-little-show-ticket Album Of The Week: Modern Vices Chicago’s music scene has recently gotten cooler. You have old stalwarts like Wilco, Dwarves, The Lawrence Arms and even Earth, Wind & Fire going strong, but the interesting thing about what’s happening in Chicago is the rock ‘n’ roll that’s been coming out of there recently. Bands like self-proclaimed “Flower Punks” The Orwells, “Heavy Pop” act Twin Peaks and fuzzy post-punks Empires have been burning up The Windy City as of late and there’s another band that’s soon to join their ranks. Dirty doo-wop garage rock act Modern Vices have their debut album currently out and it’s quite the introduction to the music spectrum. Vocalist Alex Rebek leads the band sounding like Morrissey without the pretentiousness, while groovy guitars and beats form a very cool sound. If you like the crooning of the ’50s along with ’60s pop, then Modern Vices is definitely the band you’ve been looking for. It’s as if The Strokes started out listening to Frank Sinatra instead of The Velvet Underground. A plethora of rhythms and mellow tones set this album apart from the rest. Could Modern Vices be the next big thing in rock? This debut shows they could be. Squirrels have been quite the rage lately, especially since one made downtown Providence lose power by fidgeting with a few cables. If you’re the non-fidgeting type who appreciates electricity, then give your music taste a shock by plugging into the top tracks off of my Album Of The Week. Trust me, you won’t feel short-circuited. The riffs in “Cheap Style” are absolutely infectious; Rebek’s romantic lyrics have a lot of heart and soul to give it a sense of love and affection that you can’t let go of. A little laid back with steady beats, “As It Never Came” has drums that serve as the spine with complexities and pizzazz giving the track a spectacular background. I love the guitar intro to “You’re So Special,” followed up by an immense amount of energy, making it the most danceable track on the album. Modern Vices will play at The Cake Shop in New York City on October 22 as part of the CMJ Music Marathon & Film Festival taking over The Big Apple, but let’s hope these dynamos come through New England sometime soon. Until they roll through your friendly neighborhood music venue, you gotta get the debut album from Modern Vices. It could be one of the landmark albums of 2014. Modern Vices’ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/modernvices Alt-Nation: Music Meets Politics … and More One Providence Experience The race for Mayor of Providence is all the rage. It’s transcended state boundaries becoming a national point of interest. Just last weekend my brother had a conversation about the race with Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen (he’s anti-Buddy in case you were wondering) and Dave Grohl. Local musicians are also doing their part to raise awareness, as the Columbus Collective this Thursday presents a night filled with great local music. In addition, Democratic nominee for Mayor, Jorge Elorza, will be in the house fielding questions from the band. There will be some heavy hitters of the local music scene between Death Vessel, The Low Anthem, Roz Raskin and more. All the bands will pose questions to Elorza. Here’s hoping they open up the floor to some questions because many of these bands have announced their support for Elorza already. It would seem like a missed opportunity for the judge to not take some questions from undecided voters. I’m not sure seeing his supporters lob batting practice fastballs at the judge is going to sway anyone on the fence. Either way, this should be a cool way to see Elorza in a different setting and check out some great local music. One Providence Experience featuring music by Black Pus, The Low Anthem, Medusah Black, Death Vessel, Roz Raskin, and more TBA will perform at the Columbus Theatre on October 23. The doors are at 7pm with the music starting at 7pm. The event is free. Alt-Nation Presents: Nightmare on Knight Street Once a month I take over the tunes at the E & O Tap on Knight Street in Providence, playing everything from Motown to Motorhead. Obscurities, local tunes, cult classics and the hits for a period not to exceed two hours and fifty-seven minutes at the best damn dive bar on Knight Street. There will be a Halloween theme to this month’s tunes. The music will start around 9pm and go to midnight. Thurston Moore Sonic Youth axe lord Thurston Moore comes to Providence on the heels of his new release, The Best Day (Matador Records). Moore’s band includes an indie all-star rhythm section with Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley and My Bloody Valentine bassist Deb George. I’ve heard the first single, “Speak to the Wild,” which is full Moore’s trademark guitar sorcery groove. With little hope of a Sonic Youth reunion anytime soon, this is likely your only chance to catch one of indie guitar swing gods shredding in your face. The Thurston Moore Band and PCPC (members of Parquet Courts and PC Worship) come to The Met Café on October 24. Chuck Ragan Hot Water Music front man and Revival Tour founder Chuck Ragan is a busy man who has managed to make stops in these parts several times in the last few years.

September 2015 - 1989 released to equal measures of confusion and acclaim: "Ryan Adams transforms Taylor Swift's 1989 into a melancholy masterpiece... decidedly free of irony or shtick" (AV Club); "There's nothing ironic or tossed off about Adams' interpretations. By stripping all 13 tracks of their pony-stomp synths and high-gloss studio sheen, he reveals the bones of what are essentially timeless, genre-less songs... brings two divergent artists together in smart, unexpected ways, and somehow manages to reveal the best of both of them" (Entertainment Weekly); "Adams's version of '1989' is more earnest and, in its way, sincere and sentimental than the original" (The New Yorker); "the universality of great songwriting shines through" (Billboard).

  • Im Zweiten Teil Der Arbeit Werden „Explanans“ Und „Explanandum“ Der Unter- Suchung Im Detail Beschrieben
    Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit werden „Explanans“ und „Explanandum“ der Unter- suchung im Detail beschrieben. Kapitel 4 ist der transnationalen Tonträgerindustrie gewidmet, die sozusagen den Kern der globalen Musikindustrie ausmacht. Anhand der von Richard A. Peterson vorgeschlagenen sechs analytischen Kategorien zur Untersuchung von kulturellen Produktionsmilieus wird der Strukturwandel der Industrie der letzten Jahrzehnte dargestellt. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf dem Prozess der Globalisierung und der Regionalisierung. Zudem werden auch erste Hypothesen über den Zusammenhang von Strukturen und musikalischer Vielfalt entwickelt. Die technologische Entwicklung, die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen, die Industriestruktur, Organisationsstrukturen, berufliche Rollen und die Konstruktion von Märkten werden uns aber nicht nur im Zusammenhang mit der Tonträgerindustrie, sondern auch mit den anderen Musikindustrien wie Radio und Musikfernsehen interessieren. In Kapitel 5 werden diese Industrien unter den ge- nannten Gesichtspunkten – wenn auch in etwas gestraffterer Form – einer Prüfung unterzogen. Schließlich gilt es aber auch die jüngsten Entwicklungen zu bewer- ten. Die Konsequenzen der Digitalisierung und der Verbreitung von Musik über das Internet sind noch schwer abzusehen. Doch obwohl die Tonträgerindustrie nach ihrer hundertjährigen Geschichte im Kern einen revolutionären Wandel vollzieht, lässt sich bereits erahnen, dass die Annahmen über die strukturellen Bedingungen der Produktion musikalischer Vielfalt auch im digitalen Zeitalter ihre Gültigkeit behalten. Kapitel 6 befasst sich ausführlich mit der Operationalisierung und Bewertung musikalischer Vielfalt auf globaler und lokaler Ebene. Dabei wird, wie im letzten Kapitel begründet, zwischen der Globalisierung als Angleichung der Regionen und der Globalisierung als regionaler Heterogenisierung bzw. Homogenisierung unter- schieden. Widersprechende Resultate lassen sich auch bezüglich der Konzentration auf Superstars im Mainstream einerseits und der Vielzahl von Nischen andererseits ausmachen.

  • Album of the Week: Violent Sons' Nothing As It
    Album Of The Week: Violent Sons’ Nothing As It Seems Boiling in the depths of the Providence music scene is pure intensity. Regardless of genre, nothing is sugarcoated and everything is as real as your senses tell you. A wonderful example of this trademark has to be Sean Murphy. He’s fronted hardcore punk revolutionaries Verse and lo-fi shoegaze punk act Bad Swimmers, and now this ball of poetic rage is returning to his roots. Violent Sons have a new album out titled Nothing As It Seems, and it very well could be one of the best debut albums to ever come out of The Creative Capital. It’s loud, unapologetic and angry. In other words, it’s absolutely pristine. Classic hardcore riffs crawl up your spine and feverish drums destroy everything in sight while Murphy’s vocals bring the assault again for good measure. Anti-establishment and anti-authority, Violent Sons’ new album is for the rebel in us all. It makes you want to shout and break all the chains that bind you; its songs will hit your soul and reenergize it with an adrenaline-filled battery. If you’re looking for a new awesome punk album, Nothing As It Seems is exactly what you’ve been looking for. And now it’s the wonderful time for the top tracks off of my Album Of The Week. Don’t be afraid, don’t fret, it’s purely painless. Hey, you might even learn something. The cryptic intro roaring into “Clean Boots” gets right into a furious track about entitlement and concludes with another scorcher of a riff.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
