International touring and recording artist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Ferreira (Johnny Ferreira) combines style and boundless energy in his performances throughout Europe, United States, and Canada. His infatuation with the saxophone began late in high school when he was 17. “It was the sound that attracted me,” he recalls. “It's the instrument that closest resembles the human voice.” By 19, he was wailing on the sax. “I was impatient to get a good sound and two years seems like a long time when you're a kid,” he reflects. Johnny's professional career started in 1980 being active in his local Vancouver music scene playing the clubs, casual gigs, and joining http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointed_Sticks (The Pointed Sticks) who were recording and touring nationally at the time. They came from Vancouver's Punk scene so Johnny was asked by many of the bands to record with them, most notably DOA. His music education continued at the University of British Columbia where he pursued a music degree but withdrew a year early as he hooked up with still unknown blues rocker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_James (Colin James). “I felt more comfortable on stage than in a classroom”. Ferreira was recruited as an original member of James' band, featured soloist on stage and in the studio and co-arranging the swingin' “Little Big Band album”. A whirlwind 11 years passed quickly, touring with some of history's most profound rock names, including The Rolling Stones, Robert Plant, ZZ Top, Keith Richards, and Stevie Ray Vaughn. He left Colin's band in 1998 to pursue his solo career, discovering new fans and excitement fronting his own band, which was in demand constantly. Performing, recording, and teaching continues and his 4th CD “http://www.johnnyferreira.com/rock-and-roll-saxophonist.php (Rock & Roll Saxophonist)” being the most “sax-heavy” recording yet. Many of Ferreira's songs have weaved themselves into Movies and television. His unmistakable sax sound is featured on many other CDs besides his own, many of which have reached gold and platinum status. He stays rooted to his sax, flirting with many sounds from swing to rock to pop. He continues to write, perform, and educate. www.howtoplaysaxophone.org www.joekelleyradio.com

The Minnesota Chamber Jazz Orchestra is a scaled-back version of the Minnesota Jazz Orchestra, but with nine pieces, it still produces a big sound. The group plays the Ames Auditorium in Bloomington, 7PM on New Year' Eve with the theme “An Evening with Ella,” and that is Fitzgerald of course. Phil Nusbaum talked to Craig Thrane and Courtney Burton of the group and first asked Craig, Why a little big band?

Welcome to the first show of 2019! Happy New Year to all our listeners. We have some fantastic music and review for you this week. Tremendous Taste Dave from Preston, UK sends us his Listener Recommendation - The Decemberists with Carolina Low. Listen on to hear what we think of this. We also have another Listener Suggestion from Jamie - the quite unique one man band Shakey Graves with the track Roll the Bones. Unknown Mortal Orchestra from New Zealand give us quite a diverse bookend for the show. In addition, we have a Record Box Classic from Art of Noise and more from the truly wonderful Jenny Lewis (of Rilo Kiley fame). Let's bring in 2019 together. Track Listing Major League Chemicals Unknown Mortal OrchestraTry to Change Mother MotherCarolina Low The DecemberistsRoll the Bones (Audiotree Live Version) Shakey GravesClose (to the Edit) Art of NoiseAcid Tongue Jenny LewisHunnybee Unknown Mortal Orchestra More about Shakey Graves... Shakey Graves (Alejandro Rose-Garcia) is a very interesting character and musician hailing from Austin, Texas. We discussed in the show how Shakey Graves came about his performing name. In 2007 at the Old Settlers Music Festival in Texas, he and friends gave each other Indian guide names whilst sat around a campfire. As a result of a memorable evening performing music he decided to keep his. Unfortunately, we don't know what any of the other names were. He became increasingly known for his one man band set up, and played mainly solo on his self-released debut album (Roll the Bones). He was becoming increasingly frustrated at having to borrow high hats and kick drums to perform. Consequently, a close friend devised the solution of a modified suitcase that acts as a kick drum and tambourine stand. Shakey Graves Day He won Best Emerging Artist award at the 2105 Americana Music Awards. However, previous to this Mayor of Austin, Lee Leffingwell proclaimed Shakey Graves Day. Every year on September 9th through 11th Shakey offers his recordings, including unreleased albums, for pay-what-you-want prices on Bandcamp. Remembering Manchester's most famous busking son After listening to Shakey Graves we had a flashback of listening to Little Big Band in Manchester in the 1980's. Because of this, we decided to look up Little Big Band (Rob Gray) and were delighted to find he is still knocking out his amazing music. Firstly, Rob performs in more towns than just Manchester now. Secondly, his music is still as fresh and driven sounding as I remember it. I used to travel into Manchester as a 13 year old boy just to stare up at Rob on the steps of the Royal Exchange theatre in Manchester. Consequently, I learnt to play harmonica. Thanks for being such an inspiration Rob. Here are a couple of my favourite performances from you. Happy New Year to our listeners around the globe Yes! A Happy New Year to you all. Thank you for staying with us throughout the year. We really appreciate you being there. Remember - keep those listener suggestions coming in. So where are your listeners based? It's a question we get asked a lot. At the time of January 2019, here's a list of countries that are listeners to From the Bottom of the Record Box.
