 All Scotland Champion Brandon McPhee has recently bought the unique 4-row Hohner Shand Morino, once owned by the legendary Will Starr, from the well-known Northern Ireland accordion collector Ken Hopkins. This instrument, made in the mid-1950s, had a dummy 4th row added in the 1960s by Willie Wylie of McCormack's Music in Glasgow, probably to make it visually resemble a Continental chromatic. Will Starr (1922-76) was primarily a stage performer and has long been one of Scotland’s most admired and inspirational accordionists. In 1932, aged ten, Will Starr won a contest billed as being for the Scottish Accordion Championship, playing an Italian-made Franchetti 3-row British Chromatic – at that time a recently introduced accordion system. Later Starr became one of the first leading players of the Shand Morino, the instrument designed for and made famous by Jimmy Shand. He worked as a miner before turning professional in the 1940s, and went on to enjoy a very successful career, touring the USA and Canada 26 times, and with his recordings. In his last years, Will Starr used the customised 4-row Shand Morino on his last three LPs – ‘Music with a Kick’, ‘In Starr Thyme’ and ‘The Daddy of Them All’ - recorded in the early 1970s. Brandon McPhee intends to play this special accordion in his concerts. |

Take a Chance with Dick Smollens (vocals)
Click to play sound file: Theme & Scherzo
 Sunday, November 6 was a sunny, beautiful day in Frederick, Maryland. By mid-afternoon, the Grauman home was filled to capacity with friends and neighbors, including a dozen “Joe Cerrito fans”, who drove two hours or more to hear his highly anticipated concert. Cheers, laughter, nonstop requests and a long standing ovation said it all. At 83 years old, Joe can still wow an audience with his amazing technical and improvisational skills, his ability to read and engage his audiences, and his love for music that permeates the entire room.That morning, Joe asked me to play a couple of duets with him. Considering we live in different states, we had no time except for Sunday morning to run through these pieces. The attached video of our duet of Joe’s lovely composition Joey, which he composed for his grandson several years ago, clearly shows Joe’s humor (he hit wrong notes during the first couple of measures to get a rise out of me and amuse the audience) and his masterful ability to improvise. This was the first time he ever played Joey as the back-up musician. Joe played a variety of well-received selections including Dizzy Fingers, Flight of the Bumblebee, several compositions by accordionist/composer Tony Dannon, popular standards and requests from the audience including an Argentinian tango. A surprise for Joe was a visit from his friend Dick Smolens, a singer and music historian, who is also in his 80s. We handed Dick a microphone and they performed a few duets for us. The duets were delightful, especially since the two had not seen each other in about eight months and had no opportunity to practice at all. Joe Cerrito’s versatility as a musician also extends to his skills as a composer and arranger. He has recently released a beautiful new composition, Theme & Scherzo (Catalog cerrito101). You can hear Joe performing this work – click the sound file above. |

The duo draws on inspiration gained from residing in Ireland and the USA and from encounters with Celtic and Nordic musicians and musical cultures. This all adds to the musical melting pot on which Andreas and Rune base their original compositions. These guys are skillful and experienced musicians captivating their audience by communicating in the beautiful language of music. Andreas & Rune have released the EP ‘The Danish Immigrant’, which was awarded ‘Track of the Year’ at the Danish Folk Music Awards in 2012.

Renzo Ruggieri ha rilasciato due eBook - Italiaby Harley Jones |
  Renzo Ruggieri ha rilasciato due eBook (formato .pdf) in grado di essere inviato via e-mail.Italia: Dieci Approcci All’Improvvisazione (Jazz) eBook - Catalogare: rrenzo421 Inglese: 10 Approaches to Jazz Improvisation eBook - Catalog: rrenzo401 Renzo Ruggieri ha scritto: "Questo testo nasce dall'esigenza di esporre una metodologia pratica per l'improvvisazione (non soltanto jazzistica), una volta acquisite cognizioni teoriche basilari. Spesso i corsi regolari di musica jazz si concentrano sulla teoria, sulla sua applicabilità, trascurando o relegando in secondo piano l'aspetto pratico; talora l’impianto teorico è talmente preponderante, che l’allievo fatica a cogliere l'elemento fondamentale dell'improvvisazione ovvero la creazione di un linguaggio personale, che, per essere tale, deve prevedere una adeguata assimilazione. Sapere cosa fare (e cosa non fare) non è sufficiente. Per eseguire una autentica improvvisazione è necessario conoscere un cospicuo numero di brani, ma al tempo stesso sapersene dimenticare - quasi un brainstorming - sottrarsi cioè a qualsiasi seduzione reminiscente e determinare uno spazio vuoto, ai cui bordi agire la propria espressività: i procedimenti che qui si indicheranno introducono a questa pragmatica creativa."
