Bluesy brass instruments on stage here, folks! Had the great opportunity to play some tuba blues with Mats Johnsson. I love this instrument, if you ask me it’s THE coolest bass instrument around, hehe.. Hopefully we’ll get some chances to do some gigs together in the future!
www.artistopia.com This piece was written early in Jelly Roll’s career in Detroit as “The Wolverines”. It was later published in 1923 by Melrose and the Spikes Brothers, who added the word “blues” to the title, knowing that it would increase sales. It is not a blues,but a standard 32 bar chorus with a verse. The sheet music features the New Orleans Rhythm Kings who introduced this version of the tune in 1923.
During the day, Stokley, 52, of Romulus, a security patrol officer with Campus Safety and Security, can be found quietly patrolling the Washtenaw Community College Campus and doing her part to keep the community safe. In her off hours, Stokley has an interesting hobby: She makes guitars from cigar boxes and hopes to one day turn it into a lucrative business. They are called Delta Blues Slide Guitars and these unique and lovely instruments are steeped in tradition. During the Great Depression, many black performers who came out of the South were poor and could not afford to buy an actual guitar, so they found ways to create their own.
25. JUNE 2010 CONCERT OF “SIBERIAN BLUES” IN ART.GERECHT BERLIN, VIDEO: IRIS MINIATÜRA “SONGS” Songs, songs, what do you scream and scream again? Or: Have you nothing left to give? The fair, the light blue yarn I learn how to braid it into hair, into time. I want to be strict, I learn about silence, learn from the stars how to be silent and good. Good: as a bush on the wayside, as a willow tending the slumbering Russia. Good: in the moon, in the autumn of September strolling alone trough the grass yellow as the moon, gathering the dry ears of corn along the path into the soul’s empty lumber bag. However, it’s not the blue of the plains that heals me. Songs, songs, what do you pin on me? With a gold sparkling broom the evening cleans the path and sweeps it smooth for me. And so delightful above the woods sounds the call that fades in the wind: “You, who lives, be gentle, be cold like the autumn gold of the lime-trees. Lyrics: Sergej Jessenin (1918) Translation: Iris Miniatüra (2010) Music: Maria Marachowska (2007)

Once more, thanks to my virtual teacher David Bennet Cohen who teaches this kind of blues. Many things in this demo are stolen from Professeur Longhair. This music really swings, and I only play simple chord and notes (CCCC-FF-G). Enjoy

Piano Stories – Episode One: The 1917 Aeolian There’s an interesting trait that all piano technicians who rebuild pianos share. For reasons no one has ever been able to quite explain we all tend to accumulate pianos. It’s almost like they were dust bunnies in the way they somehow manage to pile up. Most of these pianos are well past any form of the word functional. In other words, most of them are junk. A piano rebuilding technician always knows when one of his rebuilding colleagues is in the process of moving their shop, because sooner or later a phone call is made asking if you would like a free piano or two. About four years ago, I received one of those phone calls from a friend and fellow rebuilder by the name of Roy. He asked me if I would like the “Aeolian”. I was familiar with the Aeolian he spoke of; it was a 1917 Baby Grand that was in horrible condition. The piano started life as a player piano, but over the decades since it was built it had long since lost its player unit, along with all of its finish ( and much of the wood beneath it ). Its strings were rusty, its hammers were shot; in fact, every moving part on it was shot. The keytops ,on the other hand, were in perfect conditon; I’ll never figure out how they survived. ” Why would you want this train wreck of a piano ?” you might ask. Well, the story of the Aeolian Piano Company is one of the great rags-to-riches-to-rags stories in American piano lore. In 1913, the Aeolian Company introduced its Duo-Art …
