  • A Conversation with Petra Haden by Frank Goodman (Puremusic.Com, 1/2009)
    A Conversation with Petra Haden by Frank Goodman (Puremusic.com, 1/2009) A short while back, we interviewed a fascinating accordionist, music-oriented photographer, and image and scene maker in Portland named Alicia J. Rose, aka Miss Murgatroid. She'd taken very compelling photos of several bands we'd covered (Sophe Lux and Boy Eats Drum Machine come to mind), and then we stumbled on to her signature accordion work, which often involved multiple effects pedals. Her best known CD was one she'd woven with her friend and musical partner Petra Haden. Although you might know Petra as a member of the Decemberists, or as one of Charlie Haden's daughters (the legendary jazz bassist), or the guest soloist in any of many bands (including the recent Foo Fighters tour), she is still and deservedly best known for her a capella version of the entire Sell Out record by The Who. (She later cut a record with Bill Frisell that happens to be rather divine, called simply Petra Haden and Bill Frisell.) But the Petra project that ignited our conversation was Hearts and Daggers, the long awaited and satisfying reunion with Miss Murgatroid. Some sounds are best heard before described, and you'll find the customary links to those audio clips along the way. We're sure you'll find Petra's words interesting, as we certainly did. And thanks to Miss Murgatroid, aka Alicia J. Rose, who led us here. Puremusic: Let's talk first about this recent release with Miss Murgatroid, Hearts and Daggers. We like that a lot.

A neighborhood radically transformed for the better is the answer in Maybe Something Beautiful, a new virtual short film for kids, families and schools from Chicago Children’s Theatre and the Negaunee Music Institute at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO). Inspired by the award-winning book by F. Isabel Campoy and Theresa Howell, illustrated by Rafael López, Maybe Something Beautiful brings together five CSO musicians performing classical works by Latino composers, bilingual English/Spanish narration, and colorful, playful puppetry to tell a true story about how even the smallest artists among us can accomplish something big. Maybe Something Beautiful, ideal viewing for children ages 5 to 10, will premiere Thursday, April 1 at 10 a.m. CT in a Facebook Premiere event cohosted by Chicago Children’s Theatre and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association. Immediately after, the 13-minute video will be posted on CCTv: Virtual Theatre and Learning from Chicago Children’s Theatre and CSOtv for free, on-demand viewing for children and families in Chicago and around the world. Kids of all ages will love and be inspired by Mira, the young protagonist in Maybe Something Beautiful who decides one day to paste her drawing of a sun on one of the dark walls of an alley, just to bring brightness to the smiles of her neighbors.
