Podcast appearances and mentions of Ralph Towner

Do mesmo modo que cada grão de Polen é uma promessa microscópica de futuro, cada prancha com a marca fundada e gerida por Álvaro Costa é uma promessa manifesta de felicidade. E porquê? Porque o Álvaro “da Polen” não era um shaper atrás de uma profissão, era um surfista atrás de melhores pranchas. E é sobre esse surfista que nosso convidado vem falar nesse episódio que passeia por três oceanos e cinco residências. Tem Angola, tem Recife, tem Portugal, tem Califórnia tem Hawaii. Tem shapers lendários e lendas que ficaram por contar. Tem jornadas de descoberta e a certeza de ter vivido um sonho e sobrevivido pra continuar a sonhar. Porque antes de haver frutos há sempre pólen em viagem.A trilha fica com The Clash e Should I Stay Or Should I Go, Frankie Chavez com um cover dos Pixies, Hey! e Ralph Towner com The Donkey Jamboree

    I've been listening to the ECM record label since the 1970s. You can always count on ECM to put out interesting and sometimes great records. My favorite ECM release is Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians." It's not only my favorite ECM album, it's one of my top albums of all-time. A real desert island record for me. A few of my other favorite regular ECM artists are Steve Tibbetts, Eberhard Weber & Pat Metheny.  We had a discussion about our favorite ECM recordings over on Mixcloud. You can read or join in the thread here - https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/posts/favorite-ecm-albums/ I decided it wouyld be cool to make a mix of my top ten favorite ECM albums. I put it together in chronological order, starting with Ralph Towner & a fantastic version of Icarus. And ending with a 2017 album from Björn Meyer. Please leave a comment with some of your favorites in the comments and enjoy this little journey through ECM.

In the 20th episode of the ECM podcast, we are joined by acclaimed American guitarist Ralph Towner, who has been with ECM since back in 1973, when his debut for the label was released. On his new solo album, “At First Light”, recorded in Lugano in 2022, the guitarist presents new and familiar original compositions as well as a couple of songs from the Great American Songbook, performed on classical guitar. In our conversation, Ralph goes all the way back to the beginnings of his collaboration with Manfred Eicher and talks about his days as a piano player, or studying guitar in Vienna and then founding the band Oregon. Of course, we also speak about his new record.

In his liner note for At First Light, Ralph Towner writes of the singularity of having most of his life's work at one record label. He's been an ECM artist for more than fifty years, appearing in many different contexts, one of the most important being a run of solo recordings which began with Diary in 1973. At First Light is the newest addition to the solo guitar series. “My solo recordings,” says Towner, “have always included my own compositions in which there are trace elements of the composers and musicians that have attracted me over the years. Musicians such as George Gershwin, John Coltrane, John Dowland, Bill Evans, to name a few. The blend of keyboard and guitar techniques is an important aspect of my playing and composition, and I feel that this album is a good example of shaping this expanse of influences into my personal music.”Track Listing:1 Flow2 Strait3 Make Someone Happy4 Ubi Stunt5 Guitarra Piccante6 At First Light7 Danny Boy8 Fat Foot9 Argentinian Nights10 Little Old Lady11 Empty StageClassical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber and Apple Classical. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#LaMusicaFestival #CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.com This album is broadcasted with the permission of Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).

A far-reaching conversation with one of the finest bass players of our time, Glen Moore, known for his work with the Paul Winter Consort and Oregon, he also recorded many albums on ECM and Intuition with the likes of Tim Hardin, Larry Coryell, Art Lande, Rob Scheps, Larry Karush, and of course Ralph Towner, Paul McCandless, and Collin Walcott. Why is he now living in a remote town in the desert? Why has he started playing a brand-new tuning on the bass now that he's over 80 years old?

Nardis es un standard del jazz moderno compuesto por Miles Davis. Escuchemos al autor, varias versiones de Bill Evans, a Cannonball Adderley, George Russell, Joe Henderson, Ralph Towner, Cyrus Chestnut y otros. Erratum: en el primer ejemplo, en virtud de un lapsus, se dice que el pianista es Wynton Kelly, cuando debe decir Bil Evans.

Canciones de The Beatles en grabaciones de guitarristas como Pat Metheny ('And I love her'), Toninho Horta ('Across the universe'), Bill Frisell ('Across the universe', 'In my life', 'Nowhere man'), George Benson ('Golden slumbers'/'You never give your money'), Larry Coryell ('Something'), Toots Thielemans ('Yesterday'), Leni Stern ('Norwegian wood'), Ralph Towner ('Here, there and everywhere') y Toninho Horta ('She´s leaving home').

S1E7 John Hodian: Meditations on Naghash and New Classical Music. Composer and musician John Hodian joins the podcast to discuss his career, newest recording, The Naghash Ensemble Live Volume 1 and Armenian Medieval mystical poet & priest Mkrtich Naghash.  Featured Music John Hodian and Bet Williams (The Epiphany Project)- "Ararat {Arto's Song}" (Hin Dagh, 2008, Epiphany Records) The Naghash Ensemble- "Meditations on Greed and Poverty" (The Naghash Ensemble Live, Volume 1, Epiphany Records, 2020) John Hodian Biography John Hodian is a composer, conductor, and pianist who has worked in a wide variety of idioms—from classical to jazz, rock to rap, and traditional to avant-garde theater. Hodian's music conveys emotions ranging from profound melancholy to bold exuberance. His hauntingly beautiful melodies, intricate rhythms and soulful intensity reflect both his Armenian roots and his formal classical training, as well as his years spent as a cutting edge jazz improviser. Hodian received Masters degrees in composition and conducting at The Philadelphia College for the Performing Arts. John also spent several summers at the Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado where he studied piano and improvisation with Art Lande, Ralph Towner as well as literature and poetry with Allen Ginsburg and William Burroughs. While teaching composition and music theory at the University of the Arts, John was conductor of the Philadelphia New Music Ensemble and associate conductor of The Philadelphia Youth Orchestra.  John went on to found the first fully digital music studio in Philadelphia where he began his career in film and television scoring. Over the past 15 years he has scored over 250 documentary films and won the New York Emmy Award for "Best Music for a Documentary". John's music has been heard in numerous feature films,   dance pieces, chamber music ensembles, stage dramas, music-theater pieces and over 300 documentaries. His music-theater piece, “Sweet Theresiendstadt”, produced by En Garde Arts and Theater Archa, played for a year in Prague before touring to Warsaw and Berlin. In addition to being selected as resident composer for the Sundance Theater Institute, John has collaborated with leading theater figures such as Anne Bogart and Israel Horowitz. John was a two time winner of the New Dramatist Frederick Lowe award for music theater.

Guitar master Ralph Towner plays the 6 string and the 12 string acoustic guitar here and a little piano on this masterful album called "Batik". Towner's music is impressionistic, spacey, energetic and meditative and his 5 compositions here reflect his open concept. Towner has made scads of albums for ECM but this is one of his best. He is accompanied by two great musical masters in the persons of bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Jack DeJohnette. Experiencing Towner's many moods explored in these selections gives one an idea of his range and imagination. Batik is a wonderful musical excursion so check it out tonight.
