Al Di Meola with World Sinfonia

January 10th 2010 03:56
Al Di Meola with World Sinfonia
Touring Australia & New Zealand
from March 2010

Legendary guitarist, Al Di Meola is bringing his 6-piece Latin Jazz Fusion band World Sinfonia to our shores in March 2010. One of the most prominent virtuosos in the contemporary instrumental jazz field, Al Di Meola’s dazzling technique on both acoustic and electric guitars is unmatched, extending to fluid arpeggios flying at breakneck speed and beautiful, slow vibrato-laden melodies.




The tour commences in Perth and extends through NSW, Queensland, New Zealand, Tasmania, South Australia and ACT. Provocative and enchanting, Al Di Meola’s intriguing union of complex rhythms, lyrical melodies and sophisticated harmonies ensures an unforgettable aural sensation.

Known for his guitar mastery, Al Di Meola has twenty one recordings, three gold albums and has recorded and played with a number of illustrious names including Paul Simon, Phil Collins, Santana, Luciano Pavarotti, Jimmy Page, Stevie Wonder, Frank Zappa, Chick Corea, Steve Winwood, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Jaco Pastorius, Les Paul, Jean Luc Ponty, Steve Vai, Milton Naciemento, Egberto Gismonti, and many more.

Early in his career Al Di Meola was bestowed a Grammy, as part of Chick Corea’s Return To Forever. He has been voted World’s Best Guitarist several times by Guitar Player Magazine and has had sold out concerts across the world including Bulgaria and the United States.


Al Di Meola’s finds inspiration in music cultures across the world including sounds from Argentina, Brazil, Israel and the Mediterranean and in acoustic genres such as flamenco and the tango. The depth of his writing along with the soulfulness of his guitar expression have won this guitar virtuoso legions of fans worldwide, having played over many years to sell out shows across Europe, Canada and his native USA.
Of Di Meola, Guitar historian Robert Lynch said: “In the history of the electric guitar, no one figure has done more to advance the instrument in a purely technical manner than Al Di Meola. His total command of the various styles and scales is simply mind-boggling.”

Kristian Chong
Firm's guest soloist



Acclaimed contemporary music organisation The Firm will present their fifth concert in the 2009 series on Monday 2 November at 8.00pm in Pilgrim Church 12 Flinders Street, Adelaide.

The concert features acclaimed Melbourne-based, Adelaide-born, pianist Kristian Chong performing Peter Sculthorpe's Night Pieces, Raymond Chapman Smith's Intermezzi, a new work by Luke Altmann and Robert Schumann's Fantasie op.17 - one of the virtuoso and poetic cornerstones of the Romantic repertoire.

Kristian Chong is a pianist of impressive talent and sensitivity ... a true chamber musician at work
The Age


Pianist Kristian Chong is rapidly establishing himself as one of Australia's leading musicians. Performances have taken him throughout Australia and the UK, and also in China, France, Hong Kong, Taiwan, USA, and Zimbabwe. As concerto soloist he has appeared on numerous occasions with the Adelaide, Melbourne, Queensland, Sydney and Tasmanian Symphony Orchestras, and various orchestras in the UK and China under conductors such as Graham Abbott, Werner Andreas Albert, Andrey Boreyko, Nicholas Braithwaite, Sebastian Lang-Lessing, Nicholas Milton, Tuomas Oillia, Marcus Stenz, Arvo Volmer and Marco Zuccarini.

He has recorded and broadcast for Australian and American radio (WGBX - Boston), HKRT (Hong Kong), ABC-TV, and has appeared for Musica Viva Australia. His many competition successes include winning the Symphony Australia Young Performers Award (keyboard) and the Australian National Piano Award, as well as being a major prizewinner in the 3rd Lev Vlassenko Piano Competition.

The Firm's featured composer for 2009 is Peter Sculthorpe who celebrates the eightieth birthday.

In 2007 The Firm received an Oscart for The Best Small Concert of the Year, and in 2008 for The Best Concert Program of the Year, and Firm pianist Leigh Harrold won an Oscart for South Australian Musician of the Year.

Adelaide-based composers Raymond Chapman Smith and Quentin Grant established The Firm in 1996 as an organisation that promotes the performance of new solo and chamber works, particularly those of South Australian composers.

It also provides a performance platform for some of Australia's finest young musicians. The Firm also presents special events and tours internationally.

Single tickets are $12 ($7 concession) and may be purchased at the door.






** All secondary and tertiary music students receive complimentary season tickets, available at the door. Concert patrons receive complimentary programs and post concerts drinks and may sample authentic European tortes by Gabriele.

The Keijzer McGuiness Quintet | CD Launch - The Seed Habit

February 24th 2009 03:19
Luke Thompson and Chris Martin
Inspired vocals & piano chordal madness

and

The Keijzer McGuiness Quintet
CD Launch - The Seed Habit

The Keijzer McGuinness Quintet




COMA at the
Wheatsheaf Hotel
39 George St. Thebarton

Tickets $10 (all tickets) from Fringetix or at door
16 March, 2009, 8pm




RFO79
Dutchman Remco Keijzer and Australian Lucian McGuiness normally reside hemispheres apart, but they brave long haul flights and carry-on restrictions to join musical forces whenever possible. In 2009 they launch the album The Seed Habit on Rufus Records (thru Universal). The disc is the product of three years collaboration in Australia and The Netherlands, and was recorded in Sydney in 2008.

Jazz is transitory. It twists, turns, strikes and moves on – just like the Keijzer McGuiness Quintet, and the music on their infectiously toe-tapping début release. A tenor and trombone combination like Keijzer & McGuiness is hard to beat - a sleek, humanistic sound curls up inside your ear and expands your mind.

Among the best young players in their hometowns, Keijzer-McGuiness gigs soar melodically, with gutsy engagement between personnel; a spectrum of youthful energy, soul, breadth and vigour.

This album delivers the key contribution of the jazz tradition: great playing to make your toe tap and your head bounce. Better still, it doesn't fall into the trap of over-seriousness. Sounds like fun.


RELEASED MARCH 2009
The Keijzer McGuiness Quintet

Remco Keijzer (tenor saxophone)

Remco studied jazz and improvisation at The Hilversums Conservatory, The Conservatory of Amsterdam and The Manhattan School of Music. He’s played with luminaries Dick Oatts, Dave Binney and the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw, inspired a contemporary big band for emerging composers and added soulful sax to a popular live hip hop act sans samples.

Lucian McGuiness (trombone)

Lucian studied in Canberra, Amsterdam and Sydney. He plays with the Jazzgroove Mothership Orchestra and Ben Walsh’s Crusty Suitcase Band, and has performed or recorded with a wide variety of artists including Jim McNeely, Shasha Marley, The Herd, The Holland Big Band and Steve Hunter.

Matt McMahon (rhodes/piano)

Matt leads his own groups and co-leads Band of Five Names with Phil Slater and Simon Barker. He won the National Jazz Award, and the Freedman Jazz Fellowship, and has played and recorded with Dale Barlow, Greg Osby, Katie Noonan, Vince Jones, Bobby Previte, Dave Panichi and Steve Hunter.

Mike Majkowski (double bass)

Mike is one of the new breed of creative musicians emerging on Australia's music scene. A gifted jazz bassist committed to a wide spectrum of contemporary music: he’s a founding member of the large-scale Sydney-based electro-acoustic group The Splinter Orchestra; a member of The Now Now collective, and works closely with some of Australia's most highly regarded improvisers - Jon Rose, Chris Abrahams and Jim Denley.

James Hauptmann (drums)
James grew up in Canberra and studied at the Canberra School of Music. Living in Sydney, he records and tours nationally and internationally in bands including Mark Isaacs, Steve Hunter, Exposed Bone, Blue Juice and Elana Stone.

SUNDANCE KIDS TOUR WITH AVALON DRIVE
Two of Australia’s most promising alternative/indie bands, Avalon Drive and The Sundance Kids, unite for a three week residency tour throughout Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide from 24 August to 10 September, supported by local artists.

Sundance Kids


Avalon Drive and The Sundance Kids are creating a massive buzz at the moment across the country with both bands releasing highly anticipated new material in August and having recently played sold out shows in their home States. To keep the residencies fresh and exciting for the bands and fans alike, prior to the doors opening, the bands will toss a coin to decide the night’s line up, meaning a spontaneous line-up week to week as well as fostering some healthy and fun competition between the bands (excluding all Adelaide shows).

Described as a group who command some serious attention by Time Off Magazine and is a band you want to see live by MTV, Avalon Drive has performed with some of the biggest acts including INXS, All American Rejects, Fall Out Boy, Hoobastank, Yellowcard and The Veronicas. The residencies will give punters the chance to see what all the hype is about!

Recently signing with SonyBMG, Avalon Drive " target="_blank">Avalon Drive are set to release their forthcoming EP later this year. Already possessing a strong fan base and known for their energetic live performances, Avalon Drive is a force to be reckoned with and should not be missed.

After independently releasing their second EP – Including the Atmosphere in 2007 and recording their debut album across May and June this year, The Sundance Kids have been busy touring the East Coast with their powerful blend of indie/pop/rock anthems, that speak volumes for who they are and how seriously they take their music. Quoted as being one of the premier rock acts in SA by Time Off Magazine, these five Adelaide boys are creating serious interest after a solid string of live shows and an ever growing following.



DATES ARE:

Sunday 24 August – Jive Bar, Adelaide, SA 18 (with guests)
Tuesday 26 August – East Brunswick Hotel, Melbourne, VIC 18 (with Don’t Ask Us)

LUCINDA Williams' new album

LUCINDA WILLIAMS NEW ALBUM
LITTLE HONEY
TO BE RELEASED BY LOST HIGHWAY ON OCTOBER 11


Lost Highway will release Little Honey, the new album from three-time Grammy Award-winner Lucinda Williams on October 11.

Little Honey is Williams' ninth studio album and easily her most eclectic in a recording career that began in 1978.

After 30 years of writing, performing and recording, Williams is in the middle of her most prolific period to date. In February of 2007, Williams released the Grammy-nominated and critically acclaimed West. Just over a year later Williams returns with new sounds, familiar styles, new friends, renewed optimism and thought-provoking sentiment on Little Honey.

The 13-songs on Little Honey showcase all of the elements that have made Williams one of the most celebrated living songwriters. She revives the spirit of the delta on Heaven Blues, emanates beauty and heartache on The Knowing, duets with Elvis Costello on the classic mini-drama Jailhouse Tears, sings poetry atop subtle horns on the epic Rarity, and exudes the country blues on Circles And X's, which she wrote in 1985. Williams dives deeper into her rock roots than ever on tracks such as the album’s opener Real Love, the intense, raw power of Honey Bee and the grand crescendos of Little Rock Star, where she draws on her personal wisdom from experience in a sincere letter to younger artists who walk the fine line between success and self-destruction.

Little Honey was produced by Eric Liljestrand, who engineered Williams' West, and Tom Overby. Along with Costello, Little Honey features guest vocals by Matthew Sweet, Suzanna Hoffs, Jim Lauderdale, Tim Easton and the legendary Charlie Louvin. Williams is backed by her solid road band Buick 6, which includes mainstay Doug Pettibone on guitar, with David Sutton (bass) and former Eels' members Chet Lyster (guitar) and Butch Norton (drums). Keyboardist Rob Burger, who also played on West returns for the Little Honey sessions.

ASH GRUNWALD
FISH OUT OF WATER



NATIONAL TOUR

Ash Grunwald is back, all set to deliver his most adventurous & exciting release yet; the full length studio album FISH OUT OF WATER, in stores August 30. The album, which he collaborated on with respected beats master Countbounce from TZU features an exhilarating hybrid of musical styles, infused with beats and grooves, junkyard percussion, scorching riffs and Grunwald's trademark deep and strong vocal that is bound to impress and delight fans of quality music.

The Devil Called Me A Liar, the first single from the album, is a live favorite for Grunwald, featuring a grappling guitar riff that arose out of a particularly productive jam session. Producer Countbounce's description of Ash is that he’s an enthralling riff writer.

Fans of Ash Grunwald will already be familiar with his strong sense of musical adventure, and with Fish Out Of Water he has truly let his hair down, pushed all the boundaries and let rip in a major way. The upshot? A career highlight. And further proof that this Australian performer is bringing blues and roots to a whole new generation.

Triple J seem to agree, adding the track to rotation, and coming onboard to co-present Grunwald's upcoming national tour, which kicks off late August in Darwin before heading to WA, and then across to the East coast thru September and October. Tickets on sale now.

The Grates “TEETH LOST, HEARTS WON”

July 17th 2008 04:57
THE GRATES “TEETH LOST, HEARTS WON” TOUR
With The Vasco Era and The John Steel Singers
TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY, AUGUST 8th ($32 BF)




THE GRATES ANNOUNCE OCTOBER TOUR

The Grates live shows have now become stuff of legend. Patience's dancing style has its own patent, Alana's smile is always infectious and John is the captain of their musician-ship. You never know quite what to expect, as Winter Wonderlands, party balloons and colorful capers fill the stage. Their recent Surprise Parties where the unusual locations weren't revealed until 48 hours before the show are testimony to the fact that The Grates never stick to the norm!

With their upcoming new album Teeth Lost, Hearts Won already getting young hearts a flutter ahead of its early August release, The Grates get ready to give fans a coronary with the announce of a major national tour throughout October.

The Grates welcome The Vasco Era as their main support for their October joyride. The Vasco Era's J Award Nominated debut album Oh We Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside was a heady mix of delta blues and stomping rock & roll. With enough raw energy and howling vocals to keep up with The Grates, this Apollo Bay trio have fast gained a fierce live reputation. With new material coming up they’re sure to be one hot act!

Oh we do like to be beside the seaside


The Grates also welcome The John Steel Singers to the fray as their energetic opener. Thanks to some sweet Strawberry Wine this Brisbane six-piece have been taking over the airwaves at Triple J and hitting the road for some heavy touring with the likes of Yves Klein Blue. Featuring an instrument swapping horn section and indie tunes you can dance to, The John Steel Singers are just the ticket to get this party started.

As a special treat for fans, The Grates will be offering special pre-order packs including an album, a ticket to the show and handkerchief with a limited edition Grates pillow case available on line from HERE .

Teeth Lost, Hearts Won, builds on the success of The Grates debut album Gravity Won’t Get You High which debuted in the Top Ten of the ARIA charts, earned them critical praise and numerous accolades and saw releases in the USA, UK, Europe, Canada and NZ.

For their second album they teamed up again with Peter Katis (Interpol, The National, Mates of State), but this time they took turns in the driver's seat of production duties. On this album, The Grates have brought a depth and density to the songwriting, the lyrics are raw and poignant, the sonics more biting and aggressive. There's still that Grates spirit and vibrancy, but there is also more reflection and more sophistication of expression.

The raucous new single Burn Bridges is a rebel-rousing, hoe-down inducing little ditty of rock & roll pop is out now through iTunes. The new album Teeth Lost, Hearts Won is out on August 2nd through Dew Process/UMA. The Grates will be performing at Splendour In The Grass.
