«Gabalier – Die Volks-Rock’n’Roll-Show» wird um ein Jahr verschoben - DE/Aby Diatonic News |
 |
| Aus Termin- und Koordinationsgründen seitens Andreas Gabalier, sind die Sender SRF, ORF und BR mit dem Künstler übereingekommen, die Show ins Jahr 2017 zu verschieben. «Gabalier – Die Volks-Rock’n’Roll-Show» hätte am 21. Mai 2016 in Füssen, Deutschland, durchgeführt werden sollen. Mehr dazu unter: http://www.gabalier-show.tv/de/gabalier-die-volks-rocknroll-show-0 Andreas Gabalier: «Es tut mir sehr leid, meine Fans enttäuschen zu müssen. Da der Aufwand nun aber grösser ausfällt, als eigentlich geplant war und dies mit meinem Kalender nicht vereinbar ist, haben wir schweren Herzens beschlossen, die Show erst in einem Jahr durchzuführen.» Die dadurch gegebenenfalls entstehenden Unannehmlichkeiten bedauern SRF, ORF, BR und ip-media sehr und bedanken sich gleichzeitig bei allen beteiligten Stellen und Projektpartnern für die hervorragende bereits geleistete Vorarbeit. Bereits gekaufte Karten können in der Vorverkaufsstelle retourniert werden, in der sie gekauft wurden. |

Alabama News Center Bob Tedrow Article - USAby Harley Jones |
| Excerpts from the Alabama News Center article by Bob Blalock. 2nd May 2016 Bob Tedrow builds concertinas for people to ‘take care of and treasure’ “I like to go to church because it’s one of the only times where I can sit by myself with my own thoughts,” says Tedrow, longtime owner of Homewood Musical Instrument Company near Birmingham. “I have perfected the Sunday sermon stare where you look right into the eyes of your preacher and for all the world, you hope, he thinks you’re listening to the sermon when you’re actually at work or trying to think up something.” He proudly proclaims the store is behind the times – by 50, 82 or 150 years, depending on whichever of his signs or social media you choose to believe. (While his social media presence may belie that claim, Tedrow does drive a 1928 Model A Ford to his store every day.) Tedrow began his concertina quest in the late 1990s. His first functional instrument took four years to complete and was “ugly as a mud fence.” Tedrow says he learned by making a bad concertina, changing one variable and making a less bad concertina and so on until he arrived at a concertina that he believed was worthy. “To verify that it was functional, I built an instrument and sent it around the country on tour with a little notebook. You could sign up, play for three days, promise not to steal it and send it on to the next person on the list,” Tedrow says. Through the internet, about 30 people took him up on the offer. That was in 2003. Tedrow, an inveterate joker and teller of semi-tall tales, pokes fun at himself for taking years to build a concertina that worked and having “no particular natural talent.” Tedrow guesses he has built about 100 accordions and says they are in all kinds of far-flung places – “Ireland, England, Spain, France, England, Ireland, China, Canada, Sylacauga – all over, really.” As he takes apart one of his concertinas to show off its innards, it’s clear he is proud of what he builds from scratch – intricately detailed music instruments crafted with painstaking precision. “There are almost 1,000 parts in a concertina, which means there are a thousand ways to make a mistake,” he says. “It’s a very complex instrument. If you look up hubris in the dictionary, my photograph is there along with one of my concertinas. Nobody in their right mind would do this.” |

Binelli-Ferman-Isaac Trio in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia - RUSSIAby Diatonic News |
 June 24, 2016 Krasnoyarsk/Siberia/RussiaBandoneonist Daniel Binelli, pianist Polly Ferman and guitarist Eduardo Isaac collaborate to recreate a repertoire ranging from old tango by Medizabal to compositions of the new century. The initial collaboration of Binelli and Isaac was the recording of the Double Concerto for Bandoneon and Guitar by Astor Piazzolla, with the Argentine National Symphony Orchestra in 1997. They later recorded this masterpiece of Argentine music with the Montréal Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Charles Dutoit for Decca. Ferman, having previously performed and recorded in duo with Binelli, joined these two outstanding musicians for Tango in Concierto at the Colon Theatre of Mar del Plata in 2004. With a multitude of individual recordings to their names, the trio is now recording their first CD together in Buenos Aires, for release in late 2006. With his background as bandoneonist and his work on arrangements in the almost mythical orchestra of Osvaldo Pugliese, Daniel Binelli toured the world as a member of the Sextet of the creator of nuevo tango, Astor Piazzolla. Always open to new ideas, this native of Buenos Aires creates brilliant compositions in Argentina’s contemporary idiom. One of the leading interpreters of the music of the Americas, Uruguayan pianist Polly Ferman captivates audiences with her illuminating performances of works by Gottschalk, Nazareth, Villa-Lobos, Ginastera and Piazzolla. Her mastery of this literature prompted The Japan Times to recognize her as a “Musical Ambassador of the Americas.” A guitarist who honors the tradition of his instrument on the Rio de la Plata, Eduardo Isaac’s interpretative excellence is met with great admiration from specialized critics. Considered one of a select group of new generation guitarists, he is often featured at major international festivals. International masters all, they perform the world over to wide acclaim. The trio merges the unlimited resources of the piano, guitar and bandoneon to delve into the language of tango in unexpected ways. With this exceptional ensemble, we enjoy the tense and obsessive pulse of the music of Buenos Aires, its provocative sadness and existential expression. http://www.binelli-ferman.com/schedule/default.asp |
Reopening of German Harmonica and Accordion Museum - Germanyby Diatonic News |

The systematically arranged collection of nearly 25.000 different Harmonicas from all over the world is represented in every respect, having high cultural and historic value. Ingenuity and adaption of current trends created models like the 'Zeppelin' and 'Banana' Harmonica.

Mr McFall’s Chamber: Maria de Buenos Aires - Edinburgh/Scotlandby Diatonic News |
 |
| 14 June 2016 at 7:30pm 87-89 CLERK STREET, EDINBURGH, MIDLOTHIAN, To mark Mr McFall’s Chamber’s twentieth anniversary the group revisits Astor Piazzolla’s operita, María de Buenos Aires. This work represents the very summit of Piazzolla’s nuevo tango and, as such, also represents a coming together of twenty years of the group’s programming of his music, from our very earliest days at the old Bongo Club. Directed from the bandoneon by Victor Villena, the performance also features tango singer Juanjo Lopez Vidal as el duende, the narrator of the colourful spoken text by Horacio Ferrer, and Valentina Montoya Martínez as María herself. Instrumentalists include violinist Cyril Garac, pianist Phil Alexander, guitarist Malcolm MacFarlane, flautist Alison Mitchell and percussionist Iain Sandilands, along with the group’s core members, Robert McFall, Su-a Lee, Brian Schiele and Rick Standley. The performance also features original film of Buenos Aires street-life by the young Argentine film director Geraldine Comte. This moving backdrop is entirely in accordance with Piazzolla’s original intentions as to the staging of the piece. There is also a speaking chorus of “brothel keepers, spaghetti makers, brick-layers and psychoanalysts”. Shot through with religious imagery mixed with Buenos Aires slang, the work presents María as both virgin mother and essence of the street culture in which the tango tradition developed.

New Orleans Advocate: Master Craftsmakers Demonstrate Skillby Harley Jones |
 Excerpts from the New Orleans Advocate, 26th April written by Cate RootCajun accordions, family-style at Jazz Fest’s Folk Life Village Clarence “Junior” Martin has been exhibiting his handmade Cajun accordions at Jazz Fest for nearly 20 years. He’ll display accordions and present workshops in Tent C, “Made By Hand: Crafts of Everyday Life in Louisiana,” which is dedicated to handmade instruments, for the second weekend of the festival. Martin Accordions in Scott, Louisiana, is a full-service shop that does accordion design, customization and repair. Now 75, Martin didn’t start working with accordions until he was in his 40s, although he had been playing Cajun music since he was 13. After years of working in construction, his “body was giving out,” he said. “I told my wife I needed to find something easier to do. … I had an accordion my wife had bought me … and I just took it all apart and I studied it.” He wasn’t entirely self-taught; master accordion maker Marc Savoy assisted Martin as he learned to build squeezeboxes. Martin prides himself on the family-oriented nature of his shop. He has two children and works especially closely with his daughter. When asked what is the most misunderstood aspect of his craft, Martin said, “People come from all over the world out here, and they just can’t believe we have so much fun making accordions with our family.” Martin also plays in a family band with his daughter and grandson. While the shop entertains frequent tour buses full of visitors, Martin treasures the opportunity to show his craft at Jazz Fest. “It’s wonderful, a wonderful time to go out there. … We used to do about 13 festivals a year. We dropped every one except the Jazz (Fest). … For me, it’s good for business and it’s fun.” |

Korea Times: 'My Music is Not for Tango Only'by Harley Jones |
 |
| The Korea Times Culture page - April 25th 'My music is not for tango only': bandoneonist Koh Sang-ji By Baek Byung-yeul Koh Sang-ji is one of a few bandoneon players in Korea. Ever since the 32-year-old lost her heart to the songs of tango great Astor Piazzolla while at university, she has taken an interest in the accordion-like instrument bandoneon and the experience has changed her life forever. Though she started learning the instrument out of simple curiosity, she soon became skillful at playing it and enjoyed busking in the street along with her university professor who played jazz saxophone. After leaving university, Koh buckled down to learn the instrument more professionally for three years from prominent Japanese bandoneon player Ryota Komatsu and stayed in Argentina for two years, attending Orquesta Escuela de Tango Emilio Balcarce, a music school specializing in tango. In 2011, Koh had a shot at unexpected stardom when she appeared on the popular MBC variety show "Infinite Challenge." Koh was in the show's song contest episode accompanying comedian Jung Hyung-don and delivered a reedy bandoneon sound, which was rare in Korea. Her background story of dropping out of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), one of the most prestigious universities in the country, to become a professional musician was enough to attract public attention as well. The bandoneon player received acclaim through her first studio album, "Maycgre 1.0," in 2014 and two singles, "Koh Sangji X Voice Experiment 1" and "Road Bike," last year. Love of animation However, what has been forgotten about Koh is that she is an avid Japanese animation fan. Although she decided to pursue the way of a professional musician, she said her "undiluted musical roots" come from Japanese animation rather than tango, though many think of her as a tango musician. "To me, tango is like an ex-lover," Koh said in an interview with The Korea Times at a cafe in Seodaemun, western Seoul, on April 13. "It is a prestigious music genre that induced me to become a professional musician, but I don't think my music is rooted in it." Explaining how she could learn the bandoneon, Koh said she realized that she cannot love the historical Argentine music more than Argentines as the music is in their blood, not hers. "At the time when I began playing bandoneon in the early 2000s, there were only a few tango albums in Korea," she recalled. "When I looked for more tango music, I found that Japan has a larger and deeper fan base in the music and finally I could grab an opportunity to learn from Ryota Komatsu. For three years, I regularly visited Japan to have a personal lesson from the Japanese tango master and that really helped me a lot." But the rise of the Japanese yen-Korean won exchange rate at that time put a lot of pressure on her and that led her to visit Argentina, the home of tango. While staying in the South American country for two years, she played songs from famous tango musicians in the first year and went outside to perform with them in the second year. "There, I learned that my kind of music was somewhere else. I cannot love tango as much as Argentines do," she said. "Since my childhood, I really loved not only watching Japanese animation but also listening to their soundtracks. And this is probably the reason why I think my musical soul is deeply rooted in Japanese animation," Koh said, adding her ultimate goal is to produce a soundtrack of an animated feature. She said all her albums are inspired by Japanese animation -- the title of her first studio album "Maycgre 1.0" is created by combining the first letters of her favorite animation characters such as Asuka, Rei and Mari Makinami Illustrious from "Neon Genesis Evangelion," Griffith from "Berserk" and Envy from "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood." Her two single albums are inspired by Japanese animations "Hunter x Hunter" and "Yowamushi Pedal." Koh said she was inspired the most by Japanese composer Shiro Sagisu, best known for his soundtrack to "Neon Genesis Evangelion" and "Nadia: the Secret of Blue Water." "Shiro Sagisu is my ultimate goal," she said. "I am not saying that I really want to meet with him in person. I am just deeply inspired by his songs and really love his music. I can be only motivated by the soundtracks of Japanese animation ever since I fell in love with Saisu's songs." Back to the basics Unlike her previous albums inspired by Japanese animation, her latest album, which is slated to be released next month, will be dedicated to Argentine tango masters Piazzolla and Carlos Gardel. "My latest release will be a cover album of tango greats Piazzolla and Gardel," Koh said. "To me, tango is a sort of starting point that led me into the world of music and I wanted to express those thoughts in the new album." She said recording had been wrapped up and all that is left is the mixing. "When I recorded the songs with my band, I tried to make them funkier than the originals," she said, adding the songs she chose are based on the favorites that got her lost in tango while at university. |

Diatonic player from English West Midlands jumps Out The Frame at Droitwich Arts Week to perform alongside his portrait - UKby Rob Howard |
 A portrait by the US artist Cynthia Morrison led to a performance by the diatonic accordion player, poet and performer Dave Reeves at Park’s Café, Droitwich, on Monday 23rd May as part of Droitwich Arts Week.In 2015, Cynthia produced a piece of artwork for a gallery in the US, itself based upon a photograph of Dave Reeves by Ali McK and, out of the blue sent an email to Dave informing him. But that, it turned out, was just the beginning, for later in the year she sent Dave a photograph of another work based on this photograph hanging as part of a Mail Art exhibition in Berlin, and said that there were more to come. Jokingly, Dave emailed her back saying that perhaps one day he’d be able to go and do a performance in a gallery where one of these pictures was hanging. Well that day was Monday 23rd May. With the chain of events leading to Cynthia exhibiting a picture based upon that original photo of Dave in a Mail Art exhibition in Droitwich Spa, and Dave performing there, alongside it. The exhibition ‘Let’s Do Shakespeare’, celebrates the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death and featured Dave playing accordion alongside a quote from Shakespeare’s The Tempest. And it was a performance that jumped straight Out The Frame, with Dave, a performance poet and squeezebox player who brings his writing to life with the use of props and participation, humour and music, being streamed on Periscope and Facebook by Vaughn Reeves from internet broadcaster Radio Wildfire. Dave, who appears under the stage name ‘Dave Reeves (who bellows)’ said, “I am intrigued by the idea of this image of me taking on a life of its own, and all because of the internet.” He added, “When a copy of the picture came to be exhibited in Droitwich I really couldn’t wait to perform alongside it as it is only an hour’s drive from where I live.” Dave continues with his unique mix of accordion, spoken word and theatre at Cheltenham Science Festival on 11th June (as half of the accordion duo Jiggery Spokery); at the Gardeners World Live weekend at the National Exhibition Centre on 19th June; Ledbury Poetry Festival 2nd July; and Nozstock on 22nd July. |
NUEVO TANGO ENSAMBLE to perform in Katowice - Polandby Diatonic News |
 |
| 21 June 2016 Katowice - Poland The NUEVO TANGO ENSAMBLE was born in 1999 starting from a deep admiration for music from Argentina. The trio has established its own identity well recognizable, into which the lesson of classical music, tango nuevo, an Italian melodic sensibility and a conception of authentic jazz performance. The music of the great composer Astor Piazzolla, who had grandparents from Puglia as the three musicians, was therefore assimilated and converted into a new synthesis between the classical music, tango nuevo and jazz that the three musicians have always loved, between the discipline of written and structured music the recognizable Italian character of their melodies and improvisation that makes their every concert a unique event. http://www.nuevotangoensamble.com |

Dirk Powell Plays On Eric Clapton Album – USAby Rob Howard |
 The legendary singer/guitarist Eric Clapton's new album ‘I Still Do’ features Cajun musician Dirk Powell on the diatonic accordion on the track ‘Stones in my Passway’. The CD, released on May 20th, is being played on Sirius Radio on the blues stations. Dir Powell is carrying on the traditions of his late father-in-law Dewey Balfa as the accordion player in the Cajun group Balfa Toujours. It was at a 1989 festival in West Virginia that he first met and played with Dewey Balfa, a musician whose performance left Powell "captivated." When Balfa passed away in 1992, Powell joined Balfa's daughters, Nelda and Christine (Powell would later marry Christine) and formed Balfa Toujours. The band would go on to record five albums for labels like Swallow and Rounder. Dirk Powell has also released the "Learn To Play Cajun Accordion" tutor DVD. |
