Thealbum is available now for immediate release. Oct. 7, 2010 - PRLog -- Renowned Curved Air Rock violinist and composer Darryl Way releases new album “Keep Hope Alive” with Verisma. ________________________________________ After a successful reunion with 70s band Curved Air in 2010, Way returned to Verisma to release its third album “Keep Hope Alive” ________________________________________ Darryl Way , is best known as the violinist with the successful 70s rock band Curved Air. Verisma was created with vocalist Stephen Crook in 2003 and ‘Keep Hope Alive’ is their third album. Their videos and music have become firm favourites with viewers of Classic FMTV and more recently oMusic, broadcast on the Sky TV network. When broadcast on Classic FMTV, the Verisma track ‘Mistress of Destiny’ received more emails than any other video on the channel, creating more interest than videos by such luminaries as Pavarotti, Charlotte Church and Katherine Jenkins. Darryl has recently toured Japan and Europe with his former band Curved Air, who reunited in 2008 for a series of concerts to promote their new album ‘Reborn’. Since then, he has spent his time writing and recording ‘Keep Hope Alive’, which he considers to be the best album he has ever produced. “In this album all the years of experience as a composer and songwriter have come together in one package, and I feel truly privileged to be working with such a superb singer as Stephen Crook, who interprets my music beautifully”. Verisma’s style is a powerful blend of Rock and classical music, which follows on in the same tradition as the Progressive Rock movement of the early 70s. ‘Keep Hope Alive’ is available to download from Itunes, or buy from www.verisma.co.uk Verisma is managed by Martin Darvill of QEDG Management. QEDG manages (with Mr Stewart Young) Emerson Lake and Palmer. He also manages super group Original Asia (Geoff Downes, Steve Howe, Carl Palmer, and John Wetton). Among his other clients are guitarist Dave Kilminster (currently on lead guitar with Roger Waters’ tour of The Wall), Focus, MartinTurner’s Wishbone Ash, Curved Air, and the acoustic soul duo of singer Murray Hockridge and Dave Kilminster.

In the second half of the 1970s, Brian Eno, Larry Fast, Mickey Hart, Stomu Yamashta and many other musicians blurred the lines between rock and avantgarde. Brian Eno (34), ex-keyboardist for Roxy Music, changed the course of rock music at least three times. The experiment of fusing pop and electronics on Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy (sep 1974 - nov 1974) changed the very notion of what a "pop song" is. Eno took cheap melodies (the kind that are used at the music-hall, on television commercials, by nursery rhymes) and added a strong rhythmic base and counterpoint of synthesizer. The result was similar to the novelty numbers and the "bubblegum" music of the early 1960s, but it had the charisma of sheer post-modernist genius. Eno had invented meta-pop music: avantgarde music that employs elements of pop music. He continued the experiment on Another Green World (aug 1975 - sep 1975), but then changed its perspective on Before And After Science (? 1977 - dec 1977). Here Eno's catchy ditties acquired a sinister quality.

  • Darryl Way – Vivaldi's Four Seasons in Rock
    Darryl Way – Vivaldi’s Four Seasons In Rock (41:20, CD, Cherry Red Records- The Right Honourable Recording Company, 2018) Darryl Way dürfte den meisten Lesern durch sein Mitwirken bei Curved Air bekannt sein, oder auch durch seine Band Darryl Way’s Wolf (u.a. mit Ian Mosley. Auf dem Debütalbum von 1970 war er ebenso vertreten, wie auf den meisten Alben bis 1976 (auf dem 73er Album „Air Cut“ war an seiner Stelle ein gewisser Eddie Jobson aktiv). Bei „Alive 1990“ ist er noch einmal dabei, doch an der neuen Reinkarnation hat er nicht mehr teilgenommen. Zwar sind Curved Air nicht unbedingt in der allerersten Reihe der 70er Prog Dinos einzuordnen, doch sie konnten sich einen treuen Fankreis erarbeiten und erreichten durchaus einen gewissen Bekanntheitsgrad. Zu einem Herausstellungsmerkmal gehörte neben Frontfrau Sonja Kristina auch das prägnante Geigenspiel. Gleich auf dem Debütalbum „Air Conditioning“ ist ein Klassiker der Band zu finden, der seinerzeit auch zu den Höhepunkten ihrer Konzerte gehörte, nämlich der, logischerweise von Way arrangierte Titel ‚Vivaldi‘. He did it his way, sozusagen. Anscheinend stammt sein Arrangement aus dem Jahr 1968, denn im Booklet der vorliegenden CD steht geschrieben, dass sich Way pünktlich zum 50. Geburtstag seiner Klassik-Rock-Hymne an eine komplette Neueinspielung von Vivaldis „Die vier Jahreszeiten“ gewagt hat. Mit viel Respekt vor dem Original, das er für ein Beispiel musikalischer Perfektion hält, hat er sich vorgenommen, daraus eine Rock-Variante zu kreieren. Dabei hat er sich ganz bewusst sehr nah an der Vorlage bewegt, lediglich in langsameren Passagen hat er leichte Veränderungen zugelassen.

Estuve meditando durante un tiempo hasta que la iluminación llego a mi mente y recordé cuales fueron mis orígenes en la música. Hace ya mucho tiempo, cuando era un adolescente, entre en el mundo del rock de la mano de lo que en aquella época se llamaba “rock sinfónico”. Mi fascinación por este género era total y el instrumento que me imaginaba tocando eran los teclados, con el tiempo comprendí que no tenía capacidad para asumir semejante tarea. Hablar de sintetizadores, órganos, mellotrones, etc, para mí sería un placer pero entiendo que para la mayoría de los mortales podría suponer un gran dolor de cabeza. Por todo ello creo que mi colaboración puede versar sobre los teclistas del rock. RICK WAKEMAN No pretendo contar exhaustivamente la obra y milagros de este genio, eso sería muy largo y tedioso, simplemente daré unas pinceladas sobre su trayectoria basándome en mi experiencia. Rick Wakeman nació en 1,949 en Perivale, Londres, y como era de esperar estudio diversos instrumentos entre ellos el piano, pero el bueno de Rick era un inconformista y no se regía por los cánones clásicos por lo cual fue expulsado del Royal College Music.

  • U-Z Press & Eddie Biography 2011
    FIRST FULL ALBUM RELEASE IN 25 YEARS FROM A PROGRESSIVE ROCK PIONEER EDDIE JOBSON - biography The Editor-in-Chief of Emmy magazine wrote: “The word ‘genius’ is bandied about a bit too freely these days, but in Jobson’s case, the term not only applies, it’s been used to describe him since his northern England childhood, when he was such a violin and piano prodigy that he wrote his first string quartet at 13 [and] performed with his first professional symphony at 14...” His performances and compositions have received press accolades, having been described as “brilliant” [All Music Guide], “intriguingly original” [Los Angeles Times], even “magnificent” [London Times], “staggering” [All About Jazz], and “dazzling” [The Boston Globe]. Jobson started playing acoustic guitar and classical piano at age 7 and violin at age 8, turning professional at only 15. By age 17, he had already acquired a record deal with Warner Bros. and an international reputation as one of the early pioneers of the electric violin with his first recording band Curved Air (the band that also launched the career of Police drummer Stewart Copeland). In the same year he was invited by Roxy Music front-man Bryan Ferry to be the keyboardist and orchestrator on Ferry’s first solo album—a project that would garner the teen star the first of his nine gold albums. At age 18, Jobson became a full-blown member of Roxy Music, replacing synthesist Brian Eno and helping the band create their first No.1 album—a point that would mark the beginning of ‘Roxymania’ in Britain and the start of their most critically acclaimed and influential period.
