| | American Pioneers Of The Classic Guitar CD Back, Douglas CDS
Award winning guitarist Douglas Back is recognized as one of the foremost authorities on the 19th Century American school of guitar music. Back's articles on guitar history have appeared in numerous guitar and related fretted instrument journals, and he has had four anthologies and recordings of guitar music published by Mel Bay Publications. Douglas Back earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in music performance at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, and The Florida State University. As a student he won top prize in the George C. Krick Memorial Guitar Competition in 1981. Since that time, he has gone on to perform for enthusiastic audiences throughout much of the United States, Great Britain, Australia and The Philippines."A valuable historic document, a curiosity, and a lot of fun. Douglas Back plays it all with huge gusto and no little ability!"Graham Wade-Classical Guitar magazine (UK)"possibly the world's most able performer of these neglected works!"Bill Ash-St. Louis Guitar Notes"Should be required listening for all of those interested in the all American programs that have become popular as of late"John Schneider, Soundboard magazine"These pieces are all show stoppers, intended to 'bring the house down. ' Uncompromisingly virtuosic, they are replete with florid embellishments and inventive variations. He handles the embellishments with verve, fearlessly attacking each new passage (there is much to fear here, for a performer!)..Mr. Back's performances are deft. He has a clear understanding of the pieces, their rhythmic characters, and plays with crisp articulation."Benjamin Moran-Guitar Review Magazine American Pioneers Of The Classic Guitar Music | Label | Mento Music Press | | CD Universe Part number | 7853802 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Jan 08, 2009 | | Recording Time | 1 1 |

What would happen if members of Savatage decided to write some Christmas songs? Easy: Trans-Siberian Orchestra. This "supergroup" is the brainchild of Jon Oliva and Paul O'Neill (respectively the leader-keyboardist and the producer of Savatage). They hired Al Pitrelli (Asia, Savatage) to play guitars, Robert Kinkel to help with keyboards, John Middleton (also a member of Savatage) on bass, and Jeff Plate on drums. Lead vocals are shared by six vocalists, while some of the backing vocals are handled by Savatage lead singer Zachary Stevens. Christmas Eve and Other Stories is a concept album: all the songs are built as chapters of a book, each telling part of a larger story. The plot here is of a young angel sent down to Earth to find and bring back to the Lord "the one thing that best represents everything good that has been done in the name of this day." The angel's quest takes him all over the world, through Russia and Sarajevo, until he finally hears the prayer of a father. This last piece is the strongest moment on the album and makes for a miniature story within the larger story. It is basically told in a trilogy of songs: in the first, "Ornament," we hear the father's prayer, explaining how he hasn't seen his daughter in many years. In "Old City Bar," the angel finds the daughter, standing alone outside a bar, and talks to the bartender ...

Yid Vicious was formed in 1995 in Madison, WI in order to ameliorate the woeful dearth of klezmer in America's otherwise pleasant heartland. Klezmer is Yiddish folk music, music for dancing and celebrating, and no band has caused more dancing and celebrating than Yid Vicious. Except Kool and the Gang, when they had that hit single about celebrating good times, come on; that caused lots of celebrating. But Yid Vicious is next, right after Kool and the Gang.Indoors and out, at weddings, at Bat AND Bar Mitzvahs, on flatbed trucks, in ramshackle bars and luxurious ballrooms, on high festival stages and on bare sod, we've often driven crowds into flurries of freylekh-fueled dancing fury. And that's just warming up, yo.Although our repertoire is drawn mainly from traditional secular Yiddish music, we strive to infuse the music with our collective aesthetic and experience. Rather than replicate a particular time and place, we celebrate the long-standing tradition of klezmorim incorporating new musical ideas into an organic and ever-evolving art form. Chew on THAT, Kool and the Gang!All told, there ...
