Bar Crawl Radio podcast hosts sojourned back to the West Side Community Garden for a concert with the music duo, Brooklyn-Cumaná – Jorge Glem on the Venezuelan Cuatro and Sam Reider on the accordion. We start with a delightful conversation with former Manhattan Borough President and present UWS City Council member -- Gale Brewer. We also invited her husband Cal Snyder because our goal was not to talk local politics; rather, we wanted to know about the life of our ubiquitous, hard-working, perpetual resident of the UWS -- Gale Brewer. Up until this podcast Gale had hidden behind her prodigious local accomplishments. We learned about where Gale grew up, how she met Cal, her early influencers including Bela Abzug and Gloria Steinem, her and Cal's many foster children and adopted son -- Mo Sumbundu -- and her favorite NY baseball team.And we talked with the musicians Sam Reider (accordion) and Jorge Glem (Venezuelan cuatro) about their synthesis of musical forms and their new album "Brooklyn Cumanå" Hosted on Acast.

The brothers first played together at family gatherings in the 1940s. This is episode 15 of Caffe Lena: 60 Years of Song. Thank you to Sarah at the Caffe for compiling the list of artists and songs. The Balfa Brothers came to the Caffe in the mid-1970s. Their father, Charles Balfa, a sharecropper, had played fiddle and was a singer. They made their first recordings in 1951. It was the late 1960s that the brothers officially took on the name as The Balfa Brothers. Their mixture of old Cajun tunes and newer sounds was refreshing and in high demand. Before coming to the Caffe, they even played at the Olympics in Mexico City in 1968, and they appeared in the 1972 documentary Spend It All. Accordionist, singer-songwriter, Sam Reider was brought up in a musical household, son of a musical theatre composer and klezmer musician. After graduating from highschool, Sam was interviewed on Marian McPartland's "Piano Jazz," and has been collaborating with jazz, pop, bluegrass and folk musicians,
Accordion master Sam Reider talks about what it takes to break down the boundaries of genre between folk, jazz, and world music as he does on his new Human Hands EP. Hosted by music journalist Kelly McCartney.
Sam Reider & The Human Hands is an ensemble of acoustic musicians based in Brooklyn led by composer, accordionist, and pianist Sam Reider. Since the release of their debut record "Too Hot To Sleep" in early 2018, the band has appeared at major festivals throughout the US, performed live on the BBC, and completed a ten day tour of the UK. Their 2019 season includes headline performances at the Savannah Music Festival and Jazz at Lincoln Center. This “staggeringly virtuosic band” (RnR Magazine) of musicians includes Alex Hargreaves (Live From Here, Sarah Jarosz) on violin, Eddie Barbash (Jon Batiste and Stay Human) on saxophone, Dominick Leslie (Hawktail, Ricky Skaggs) on mandolin, Roy Williams (Stephane Wrembel) on guitar, and Dave Speranza (Jim Campilongo) on bass. Irresistible melodies, fiery improvisation and otherworldly sounds collide in what Songlines Magazine has dubbed "mash-up of the Klezmatics, Quintette du Hot Club de France, and the Punch Brothers.”http://www.samreidermusic.com/

Dominick has been involved with many projects over the years including The Deadly Gentlemen, The Grant Gordy Quartet, The Brotet, Missy Raines and the New Hip, The Bee Eaters, Noam Pikelny & Friends and several other spontaneous acoustic groups.

This renowned economist, an advisor to governments around the world, tells the Center for Architecture that to save the planet and increase human happiness, we must study sustainability, read Aristotle, and drink very good coffee. Music from Sam Reider.
This accordion virtuoso has brought American roots music across the globe. He sees the accordion as a symbol of immigrant triumph – Zydeco! Tex-Mex! – and as the instrument of 19th century colonialism. Paradox and polkas. And no darn Lawrence Welk.
Decades ago, she was aiming for med school until she read the college catalogs. “Some of them were polite and said, ‘Not accepting negro students at this time,” she recalls. “I guess come back in twenty years.” I’d have plunged into rage and despair; she became a first-rate science writer. Race, medicine, and the uses of anger. Plus music from Sam Reider.
A jazz pianist turned folk musician, Sam has spent the last eight years redefining American roots music on the accordion. His original music draws inspiration from sources ranging from Woody Guthrie to George Gershwin to Ennio Morricone. Sam has been featured on Marian McPartland's “Piano Jazz” on NPR, the Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, toured in seven countries overseas, and appears regularly at Jazz at Lincoln Center and major festivals nationwide. "Too Hot to Sleep" was released on February 23, 2018. http://www.samreidermusic.com/ Sam Reider - "Swamp Dog Hobble" Hannah Read - "She Took a Gamble" Phoebe Hunt & The Gatherers - "Just for tonight" Set break — Interview with Sam Reider Broadway Lafayette - "Zydeco Music" Sam Reider - "Skeleton Rag" Set break — Interview with Sam Reider Phoebe Hunt & The Gatherers - "Pink and Blue" Grace McLean & Them Apples - "Ocean-Vapor" Set break — Interview with Sam Reider Sam Reider - "Baku" Cassie and Maggie - "Seileach" The Rodent Hour plays independent rock 'n' roll from Brooklyn & beyond every Monday evening at 8PM (UTC-4), only on Radio Free Brooklyn. http://rfb.nyc/trh
