Re: Demise of Jimmy Bruno Guitar Institute

Amen!! I still say you need that person right in front of you, where you can sense their vibes, feel their emotional state. Opportunities to get your points across come in moments where there's a window of opportunity. If you miss it, you can fire barrages of information at them all day long, and never reach them. In short, you have to get your students to EXPERIENCE within. That's how they learn, and they're all different. On my website, I show a lot of visual information, but it's based upon one premise, everything has its origin in the common structure shared by all twelve keys, and I use the same Five basic Key positions we all use to show everything. In the "Read and Re Read these, If you're serious" section, I try to relate the true secrets of how to learn. I doubt if these get read too often. More than likely, most just skim through looking at the pictures. Dave Woods |

Re: GIG:London,UK:Jazza Festival
Jazza festival - review
Scala, London The two-day Jazza festival has at its heart the aim of reminding Londoners about the plight of Palestinians in Gaza, and raising aid money. But political rhetoric was hardly heard in almost four hours of music at the opening show, which featured a score of players drawing on traditions from Palestinian oud music to jazzy country-rock, Geordie folk and American Songbook classics. If this diverse concert had a unifying humanitarian thread, it wasn't delivered in finger-wagging harangues, but in the music's sadness, joy, humour and compassion. The show's principal hook was the release of The Ghosts Within, the new album from Robert Wyatt, that downbeat and creatively political genius. The record was showcased in the concert's long finale, with subtle settings of Wyatt originals and classic Broadway love songs from the Sigamos String Quartet's violinist/arranger Ros Stephens. Wyatt himself doesn't play live now, but his chosen representative, Cleveland Watkiss, gave an accomplished and gracefully moving account of the same repertoire, with Gilad Atzmon's quicksilver sax and clarinet improvisations gliding around him. Palestinian singer Nizar Al-Issa opened the show with a stirring performance of songs from Ramallah, his voice vibrating and tingling between pitches like the strings of his oud. Vocalist Sarah Gillespie 鈥� a UK-residing, US-raised songwriter with a country singer's penetrating yodel, forceful delivery and lyrical wit 鈥� performed eloquently with Atzmon, on saxes, clarinet and accordion, though her vocal power could have used a little reining-in at times. The Unthank Sisters furnished the evening with whisper-quiet subtleties, at one point performing without mics 鈥� and their finale on Wyatt's Sea Song was hypnotic. Watkiss and Atzmon's Orient House Ensemble closed the show with The Ghosts Within. The album's title track, an anthem to the neglected, was delivered with sonorous poise by Atzmon's singer wife, Tali. Robert Wyatt/Ros Stephen/Gilad Atzmon: For the Ghosts Within - review John Fordham guardian.co.uk, Thursday 14 October 2010 23.00 BST Robert Wyatt, that most eloquently lackadaisical of jazz-loving English troubadours, has made some unforgettable albums over his long solo career, but this will rank among the frontrunners. Mingling jazz standards such as Lush Life, In a Sentimental Mood and Round Midnight with a scattering of originals, and imaginatively arranged by violinist Ros Stephen for the poetic Gilad Atzmon's alto sax and clarinet and a string ensemble, it strikes a balance between tradition-observing musicality and Wyatt's knack for getting to the painful or joyous heart of things while sounding as if he has just dropped in off the street. From the moment Atzmon's vibrant alto curls around Wyatt's matter-of-fact delivery of Laura, through the microtonal clarinet intro to a vocal line mixing falsetto sounds with guttural contemplation on Lullaby for Irena, to the Sergeant Pepper-like quirkiness of electronics and vocal whimsy on Maryan, the session barely misses a beat. Wyatt offhandedly whistles his way through Round Midnight, plays movingly muted trumpet on Lush Life, and comes close to Louis Armstrong's Wonderful World for gratefully dazzled simplicity. |

Re: Eric Clapton plays Autumn Leaves
Mark, thanks for sending this. While you are on the tube for Eric, check the version by Nat Cole. It is interesting to hear the differences.

Ron, again, while I am loathe to seem, well, ignorant, I don't know what any of this is about...:-) I don't remember being part of this group as being so complicated as it is now. Did I fall asleep and miss some important clues? Is this why not many are writing about jazz guitar anymore? Do messages about jazz guitar get filtered out?

Gene Simmons gets kiss of death from notorious web forum
Kiss bassist is bumped offline after comments endorsing aggressive stance against copyright infringement Never one to bite his tongue (sorry), the public face of Kiss, its bassist Gene Simmons, has become the latest target of assiduous online attackers, Anonymous. Two of Simmons' official websites, SimmonsRecords.com and GeneSimmons.com, have been hit by the group of activists as an apparent reprisal for insisting that musicians should be far more aggressive in the pursuit of illicit filesharers. The Anonymous group, linked umbilically to influential online forum 4Chan, have forced several websites linked to copyright-protection bodies offline in recent weeks. |

Blog: Indie filmmakers: Piracy and Google threaten us
As Google announces it's profits to share holders here is blog
from Ellen Seidler, an independent filmmaker, talking about who profits from online piracy. Here is a Youtube video to explain what is happening, the same principles she talks about apply to music: Her blog: Who profits from online piracy? Posted on June 9, 2010 by EDS Although I've worked in the journalism field for some 25 years, I began this blog in my capacity as the co-producer/co-director of a recently released independent film "And Then Came Lola" in an attempt to raise awareness with regard to a disturbing trend I've discovered with regard to online piracy. While it's almost a given that any creative work will become the victim of piracy in this day in age, I wanted to issue an alert to artists/writer/musicians about another, and is some ways, more disturbing tangential issue involving film piracy. In the process of scouring the web for the thousands of illegal download links and online streams of our film (as of 9/22/10 more than 25,000) I quickly discovered that various, theoretically legit companies, seemed to be (indirectly) generating income through the placement advertising on websites featuring streams and download links to pirated films. In addition, and most troubling, is that fact these ads generate income for operators of these pirate websites and massive profits for ad providers ($2.06 billion this past quarter for the likes of Google via its AdSense program). The nature of the advertising varies, but I was dismayed to discover that the ads were not limited to cheesy online gaming sites, etc. Rather they include a number of legit companies like Sony, Radio Shack, Pixar, Porsche, ATT, Chase, Network Solutions, Auto-Zone and even Netflix (particularly ironic since they carry our film). The list of advertisers goes on and on. It's the same situation, if not worse for other films. Here's an example of Google ads on a streamed version of the new release "The Last Airbender.") click on blog for more ....
