Wer beim Stichwort "Jazzgeige" nicht weiter kommt als zu Stephane Grappelli oder Joe Venuti, wird mit dem Niederländer Frans Poptie und seiner Band, den Swing Specials, ein gehöriges blaues Wunder erleben. Von Götz Alsmann.

We remember the night Joe Dobbs wandered into The Flood band room a couple of decades ago and said, “Hey, do you know the song ‘Satin Doll'?”Boy, was he asking the right guy. Charlie Bowen grew up in a home full of his dad's jazz records by Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington and Count Basie and his mom's Harry James and The Mills Brothers.In BowenWorld, “Satin Doll” was as much a part of the household soundtrack as anything on the radio right then.Joe didn't really know any of the tune's honored status in the jazz world. However, he was tickled by a folksy jazz rendition of it that was recorded live by fiddler Stephane Grappelli and David Grisman in 1981 and he was ready to tackle it himself.With that, the tune trotted into The Flood repertoire. Click the button below to transport back to 2011 and hear Joe with Flood Lite (Doug Chaffin on bass, Charlie on guitar) sampling the song at the start of a jam session at the Bowen House.About the SongIn 1953, Duke Ellington interrupted his long-time association with Columbia Records to sign with Capitol, thinking the upstart recording company might more effectively promote his music.Among the tunes waxed in the first Capitol session that spring was “Satin Doll,” a song Ellington had just written with his favorite collaborator, Billy Strayhorn. Duke wrote the riff sketch and Strayhorn fleshed it out with harmony and lyrics.Billy's lyrics, though, were not were not considered commercially viable, so Duke's 1953 recording was an instrumental. It was five years later when lyricist Johnny Mercer — a Capitol Records cofounder — wrote sassy new words that resulted in the song we know today.But Who WAS the Satin Doll?Strayhorn biographer David Hajdu famously advanced the notion that Billy named the song after his mother, Lillian, saying that the composer's pet name for his mom was “Satin Doll.”That's a charming story, but the Ellington family has a different take on the tale. Duke's son Mercer wrote in his 1978 memoir that he suspected the mystery woman was his dad's long-time companion, Beatrice “Evie” Ellis.Writing in Duke Ellington In Person: An Intimate Memoir, Mercer said Evie continued to believe the song was written for her. “Pop would always be leaving notes in the house addressing her affectionately as ‘Dearest Doll,' ‘Darling Doll' and so on.”Today's Flood Take on the Tune“Satin Doll” lately has started visiting the Flood band room again. It was the first tune of the evening at last week's rehearsal. Listen as Randy, Jack and Charlie start outlining the tune, laying down the rhythm and those cool chords while Danny is still setting up.You'll hear Charlie sing the first verse. By the second verse in comes Dan's beautiful guitar. In a minute, he's in full gear, and then he's soloing on two idea-filled choruses that define the entire outing.Got That SwingFinally, if you'd like to put a little more swing in your Friday thing, remember that the free Radio Floodango music streaming feature's gotcha cover.

In the 1930s the style known as "jazz manouche" took over France and soon spread around the world, led by musicians like the legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt and the violinist Stephane Grappelli. That hot swinging style, a combination of American jazz elements and more traditional Romani music, has endured for almost a century. Over the past four decades that has been in part because of Dorado Schmitt, the French musician who plays both the violin and the guitar. In what is now a family affair, Schmitt leads the band on violin, joined by his sons Amati and Samson Schmitt on guitar, cousins on upright bass, and rhythm guitar, and Ludovic Beier on accordion, all of whom trade fiery solos, in-studio. Set list: 1. Miro Django 2. Piazza Italia 3. El Dorado 4. The Light of God

"A national treasure." -Wynton Marsalis "The best musician on the planet." -Vince Gill "A supreme master at what he does." -Yo-Yo Ma "He is to music what Muhammad Ali is to boxing." -James Taylor Imagine how good Mark O'Connor must be if these are the words his peers have said about him. Mark's musical DNA includes American folk tradition as well as classical music, and even jazz -- which makes sense when you consider that his creative journey began at the feet of a pair of musical giants: folk fiddler Benny Thomasson (who created the modern era of American fiddling) and French jazz violinist, Stephane Grappelli (considered one of the greatest improvisers in the history of the violin).   Along the way, between these musical extremes, Mark absorbed knowledge and influence from other musical styles and genres -- an alchemy that became his signature sound, a “new American Classical music." He's performed for U.S. Presidents ... he's recorded with Dolly Parton, James Taylor, Paul Simon, Randy Travis, The Judds and many more ... and he also created an entirely American school of string playing called The O'Connor Method.   Now, he's written a memoir entitled Crossing Bridges about his journey from child prodigy to fiddler who dared the world. He and his beloved, the extraordinary musician Maggie O'Connor, have been touring the country playing book release concerts, but they took some time to sit down with us on the Charlotte Is Creative Podcast!   LINK TO THINGS MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST:   Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Vol. 2 by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Stephane Grappelli is best known as the founder of the Quintette du Hot Club de France along with guitarist Django Reinhardt in 1934. This was a GYPSY jazz band. Grappelli is considered the grandfather of jazz violinists. He lived 90 years, from 1908 until 1997. He began playing violin at the age of 12, early on, preferring to learn in the streets by watching how other violinists played, such as at the Barbes (pron BAR-bez) metro station in Paris. Then he was enrolled by his father at the Conservatory of Paris to learn music theory, sight reading, and ear training. He graduated three years later. Starting at age 15, he worked in the pit orchestra at the Theatre Gaumont, accompanying silent films, then at the Ambassador Hotel orchestra, where jazz violinist Joe Venuti was playing. For a while, Grappelli abandoned violin --- in favor of playing piano in a big band, it was easier to get paid for big band work. Jazz violinists were a relatively unknown and rare breed. In this big band, Grappelli met gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. It was 1931 and Grappelli was just 23, Django was 21. Three years later, Django and Grappelli formed the Quintette du Hot Club de France . This was an all-string jazz band, and they performed regularly at the Montmartre district, an artistic village on the hill in the northside of Paris. This continued until 1939 when the Quintette disbanded due to the outbreak of World War II. ‘' When the war was over, the original Quintette never did reform. Django and Grappelli did continue to perform together in Paris. In 1949, they briefly toured in Italy, where some 50 tunes were recorded. That would turn out to be the last time the two would record together, 1949, due to Django's untimely death at the age of 43. Many of those recorded songs were released as an album titled Djangology in 2005 on Bluebird Records. Most of the recordings featured in today's podcast were recorded between 1934 and 1947 and were recorded in Paris, as performed by the Quintette du Hot Club de France. Stephane Grappelli is a master of improvisation. He had said that he was not a fan of BEBOP jazz, which was then very fashionable in the jazz world.   Instead, he was a strong proponent of SWING music, another popular jazz style. Swing developed in the US in 1935-1945  ….. This was the SWING ERA in America.

He was one of the first major jazz talents to emerge in Europe and has been hailed as one of its most significant exponents, being known for his gypsy jazz. You'll often find him paired with  violinist Stephane Grappelli.  In 1934, the group was among the first to play jazz that featured the guitar as a lead instrument.  He died suddenly of a stroke in 1953 at the age of 43.

Yehudi Menuhin was the original child prodigy. He was born in America in 1916, and was soon playing in concert halls round the world. He also played to the survivors of the German concentration camps, and waded into the fight against apartheid in South Africa too. Tasmin Little was a pupil at the Yehudi Menuhin school in Surrey, England, and knew her choice well. Not only was he a brilliant performer, she says, he was a crossover star who played with Ravi Shankar, Stephane Grappelli and Morecambe and Wise. You'll also hear from his biographer, Humphrey Burton, and from Yehudi Menuhin too. Presented by Matthew Parris Produced for BBC audio in Bristol by Miles Warde

Bueno amigos, hoy tenemos un programa que no vais a olvidar fácilmente. Tenemos como invitados a dos monstruos de la historia de la música, con mayúsculas: Stephane Grappelli y Cole Porter. Grappelli es uno de los más grandes violinistas de jazz del siglo XX que creó, junto con Django Reinhardt el mítico Quinteto del Hot Club de France y que llevó al género gypsi jazz a lo más alto donde, por cierto, sigue. Nació en París el 26 de enero de 1908 y murió en la misma ciudad el 1 de diciembre de 1997. El pequeño Stephane quedó huérfano muy pronto y a los 12 años empezó a tocar el violín en las calles para llevar algo de dinero a casa y a los 15 comenzó su carrera profesional como violinista y pianista en cines, acompañando las películas mudas. La primera canción que vamos a escuchar de este trabajo, es, como todas las que escucharemos hoy, de Cole Porter. It’s All Right with me, creada originalmente para el musical Can-Can aunque también se utilizó en otro musical de Broadway de 1998, Alta Sociedad. Esto es pues “It’s all right with me”, “A mi, me parece bien” En 1931 se produjo el encentro que marcaría un antes y un después en la música jazz europea. Django Reinhardt se acercó a Grappelli en el club en el que estaba tocando y le dijo que necesitaba un violinista que tocara “hot” para una nueva banda que estaba formando. En un principio Grappelli no consideró la oferta a la vista de la diferencia de las personalidades de los dos músicos: un gitano y un bohemio parisino. Pero la casualidad hizo que coincidieran un par de veces sobre el escenario y pudieron tocar juntos por primera vez. De esta manera pudieron comprobar la gran afinidad de estilos de ambos músicos. Así, en 1934, fundaron el mítico Hot Club de Francia, una extravagante (para la época) formación de tres guitarras, bajo y violín. El genio gitano de Django y el swing de Grappelli se hicieron uno durante cinco años y dejaron para la posteridad unas cuantas grabaciones inmortales. Como con casi todo, la segunda guerra mundial, acabó con la formación y dejó a Grappelli descolocado. Durante la guerra sobrevivió haciendo de todo: radio, variedades, televisión, … y cuando acabó la guerra se centró en tocar en salas de baile y cabarets. Había que comer. You’re the top es una canción de Cole Porter que formaba parte del musical de 1934 Anything Goes. En aquel momento, al final de la guerra, el “Gypsy jazz” de Grappelli ya no estaba de moda. Durante los años 50 y buena parte de los 60 el genero estaba casi olvidado. Volvió con un poco de fuerza a la muerte de Reinhardt, por aquello de valorar a los muertos. Desde entonces, Grappelli ha trabajado con un montón de gente, incluso con Duke Ellington en el año 1963. A partir de 1969 fue definitivamente reconocido como lo que hoy es, una estrella del Jazz internacional. El famoso violinista Yehudi Menuhin dijo de él: “Es un hombre al que envidio casi tanto como quiero, puede tocar cualquier tema para expresar cualquier matiz, nostalgia, brillantez, agresividad, desprecio, con una velocidad y precisión increíbles”. Miss Otis regrets es otra composición de Porter de 1934 y fue interpretada por primera vez en la revista Hi Diddle Diddle. En su versión cantada, trata del linchamiento de una mujer de clase alta después de ella asesinara a su amante infiel. Stephane Grappelli murió el día 1 de diciembre de 1997 y, a pesar de haber tocado con los mejores, siempre estuvo buscando un nuevo Django que le impulsara a seguir progresando en su mejor estilo y que no le permitiese acomodarse en su depurada técnica. Un compañero que, si bien no lo fue como instrumentista, si lo fue como compositor de sus mayores éxitos. Hablamos, claro está, de Cole Porter. Cole Albert Porter nació en Perú, Indiana, el 9 de junio de 1891, era hijo de un empresario farmacéutico. Su madre estaba decidida a que su único hijo se convirtiera en un artista creativo, mientras que su millonario abuelo del Medio Oeste, estaba decidido a que se dedicara a los negocios o a la agricultura. La influencia de la madre fue más fuerte, y Porter recibió una importante formación musical cuando era un niño. Comenzó a tocar el violín y el piano a los seis años. Aún con esta disposición, inició sus estudios en la Facultad de Derecho de Harvard pero enseguida la abandonó para centrarse en la música. Uno de sus grandes éxitos, que aquí interpreta Stéphane Grappelli, fue You’d be so nice to come home to, una canción de la película musical de 1943 “Something to Shout About” En 1937, Porter sufrió un grave accidente montando a caballo que le costó perder su pierna derecha. Muró el 15 de octubre de 1964 en Santa Mónica, California. Porter es el fiel reflejo excto de la sofisticación de los años 30. Poseedor de un talento extraordinario, creo melodías inolvidables, saliéndose de los cánones que marcaba la moda. Habrá que volver otro día sobre Cole Porter. Tiene mucho que decir. Hoy nos despediremos de nuestros dos genios con My heart belongs to daddy, una canción escrita para el musical de 1938 Leave It to me! y que reconoceréis enseguida por la versión que de esta canción hizo Marilyn Monroe. Y se acabó por hoy. Nos vemos la semana que viene que, como siempre, tendremos más música, más músicos y más historias. Hasta entonces… ¡Buenas Vibraciones!

John Etheridge : Guitarist, composer, bandleader, educator John Etheridge rightly enjoys a glowing reputation throughout the jazz world and beyond and has been described by Pat Metheny as, "One of the best guitarists". He is a prodigiously gifted and creative player whose approach to music can only be described as 'eclectic' as he refuses to accommodate or even acknowledge artificial musical boundaries. In today’s episode John talks about his inspirations and meetings with Jimi Hendrix, being in Soft Machine and touring with Stephane Grappelli. There is a lot in this even John playing a very cool intro. It is a tough job, but someone has to do it.

French-born, NYC-based jazz guitarist Stephane Wrembel, a leading player and improviser in "gypsy jazz," has recorded with mandolin legend David Grisman, toured with master violinist Mark O’Connor, and famously wrote a theme song for a Woody Allen film, Midnight In Paris. The Gitane guitar company has even named a model after him.  Wrembel honed his "gypsy jazz" skills in Roma campsites in the French countryside and has championed music of the brilliant Belgian-born Romani-French guitarist Django Reinhardt, hugely influential for his small ensemble works with the violinist Stephane Grappelli in the Hot Club all-string band in the 1930's. Guitarist Stephane Wrembel brings his small ensemble to perform impressions of Django Reinhardt tunes, and hopefullly Wrembel’s original compositions, in-studio. - Caryn Havlik Set list: Tea For Two Apocalypse Dark Eyes (Les Yeux Noirs) Watch the session here: 

Andy Liang, a member of the Seattle Symphony’s first violin section, wasn’t so sure how committed he was to music when it was time to decide where he would go to college. Andy had played in Carnegie Hall and appeared on the NPR Program From the Top in his teen years. So he had the talent to study pretty much anywhere he wanted. But his interests outside of music gave him second thoughts about where he saw his life going. That all changed when Andy found out about a violinist hero of his who was going to be teaching at Rice University in Texas. Andy took up that story with us when he visited recently at Classical KING FM and spoke with host Dave Beck.  

The mystery of Irish music; Yehudi Menuhin playing the shit out of Stephane Grappelli arrangements; late night sessions in Canberra and Ennis; the fear of learning to learn a tune by ear; and Six Degrees of Gerry McKeague.

Dom's Notes Once upon a time I spent a few nights kipping in an orange VW van that was parked just down the hill from Stirling Castle in Scotland. I was between jobs, and between (very shitty) houses, and the van was a refuge offered to me by my friends Frank and Linda. In the days when I wasn't sleeping in it, I'd look out for that van every time I was wondering across the top of the town, because if it was around it meant they were around, and if they were around it meant mugs of tea and music and a bit of crack. I loved that van. I kipped in it after gigs up the west of Scotland - ('Do ye dae any Rangers songs?' 'Naw, we're not that kind of blues band') - or Frank would drive us out to Cambusbarron or somewhere to pass a rainy afternoon talking about books and politics and quoits and a guy called 'Skin Bone' from Fallin who was the local champion. But more than the van, I loved being with Frank, Linda and their kids, Gregor, Neil, Peter and Emily. I used to work in a wine and whiskey shop in Stirling, just down the hill from Frank and Linda's house, which is how I first got to know them. I worked there for a good few years, and one of the perks was that I could play whatever music I wanted all day long on the shop stereo system. (Another perk was naptime in the cellar on delivery day). When there weren't many customers (Tuesday mornings) I'd drink mugs of instant coffee and construct complicated doodles on the wrapping paper stacked on the counter, daydreaming, wondering where in the world I'd be in some far off year like 2019, wondering if I'd look back fondly to working in a wine and whiskey shop in Stirling, Scotland, doodling and daydreaming. Frank was a regular visitor, shopping bags bursting on his way back up the hill from the shops, always with an eager ear out for what I was listening to - Dr Wu by Steely Dan, Songs of the Auvergne sung by Gill Gomez, The Bothy Band Live (Afterhours, that epic of epic albums) or Yank Rachell, on casette or CD. We'd talk about trains, railway signal box design (Frank was a former signalman), beer (Efes Pilsener, Sam Smith's Nut Brown Ale, Redback), Walter Becker's hair and the engineer who supposedly accidentally wiped the original masters of the famously painstakingly assembled Countdown To Ecstasy, an album I knew from my brother Gerard's collection. We'd talk about whiskey and wine and mandolins and blues music and sausage rolls and Ye Jacobites By Name (Lend an ear, Lend an ear). And we ended up playing together on and off for years, in folk bands which always felt a bit ill fitting for Frank and blues-rock-ish bands which always felt a bit ill fitting for me. He is, I should say, because he wouldn't say it himself, a fabulous musician. He has the chops, but more than that, he has such heart, such a feel for music. He's the unassuming center of any band he plays in, basically. So the McCullough's house was my home away from home, their kids like my own nephews and nieces. How do you quantify a friendship like that? Why would you even try? It's enough to say it's here, even now after...how many years? It'll always be with me, permanently wrapped around my heart. So, when Ado Barker and Kate Burke and Beth McCracken and virtually everyone else we've spoken to mention that it feels strange to sit and play a tune in isolation, detached from its usual social setting, I know exactly what they mean. So much of what me and Ado talked about, even before we started recording, was about how music connects us to others, and to deeper parts of ourselves that we are only able to articulate through it. It was music that first connected me to Frank and Linda (well, music and my staff discount on cases of Portuguese lager). And it was music connected me with so, so many other friends besides. As Ado was talking about going deep into the music I was remembering playing with Frank in a bar called The Tollbooth where we had a regular gig, him singing Back of My Mind (John Hiatt) or Steady Rollin' Man, bottleneck ratting on his Yamaha acoustic, me playing a mandolin borrowed from a friend ten years previous and never returned, a mandolin missing two of its tuning pegs. On those nights, and many others, especially working on some of Frank's own songs - brilliant, beautiful, melodic, and mostly unrecorded - I was often lost in what we were playing (in a good way, like). I mean, we'd be gone (in a good way, like). In the way that Ado describes.

Ithaca Strings www.ithacastring.com/ Ithaca Strings IS Eric Aceto, a luthier, violinist and producer of the ISI dual pickup system. This system is by far the best and most honest sounding violin pickup system on the market right now! It blends an Electret microphone with a bridge pickup, both attaching to a stereo jack out under the chin rest. This means you get the solid sound of the pick up blended with the sweeter sound of the Electret mic without heavy cables attached to your instrument. Eric also makes amazing instruments and has made both pickups and violins for Jean Luc Ponty, Zach Brock, Matt Glaser and many other amazing musicians.   Headway Audio https://www.headwaymusicaudio.com/ Headway was founded in the UK in 2006 by John Littler, they make pickups and preamps for string instruments. Most famously they make 'The Band' pickup for violin, viola, cello and bass, which is a very reasonably priced pickup that wraps around the body of the instrument. They make the amazing EDB2, an acoustic instrument preamp that can blend 2 channels of audio to a balanced output ready for the sound desk. This is perfect for blending a microphone and a pickup on the same instrument, as is needed with Eric Aceto's dual system. The EDB2 also has 5 band EQ, a notch filter and the ability to power each channel differently. Its an amazing piece of kit!   John Etheridge is a guitarist from the UK, he was in the band 'Soft Machine' and was picked up by Diz Dizley to become Stephane Grappelli's lead guitarist between 1976 and 1981. John is a great dude and an amazing player, it was fun to chat with him in his London home about his days with Grappelli and a bunch of other music related stuff too. John has a great way with words and is a natural storyteller. Hope you enjoy.

We talk about the song "Wish You Were Here" recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London and released in 1975. Written by David Gilmore and Roger Waters, Gilmore performs all vocals and guitars on this classic tune. We highlight an outtake version of the song with jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli. After the massive commercial hit of The Dark Side Of The Moon the band was a little lost in the studio and stumbled upon this timeless song almost accidentally. This is the story of Wish You Were Here, the song. Follow: www.instagram.com/nobullsessions/ www.instagram.com/richardbulltoro/

In my previous Vinyl Vibrations podcast of Gypsy Guitarist-Great, Django Reinhardt, I reviewed some of his early vinyl recordings. I reviewed nine songs which Django composed in the 12-year period between 1937 and 1949. As a composer, Reinhardt was prolific, with at least 112 original compositions to his credit. His own songs, in my opinion, are the most interesting of his works, because they are his creations, and embody his humor and his thinking in a most complete way. M10 Porto Cabello (D.

DJANGO REINHARDT lived in Belgium and France between 1910 and 1953 and is best known, and most widely published, for his performances with his jazz group "Quintette du Hot Club de France". The quintet popularized the gypsy jazz style, also known as gypsy swing or hot club jazz or jazz manouche. The story goes that Django and younger brother Joseph Reinhardt were "discovered" one day,   by a French bass player, Louis Vola, as they were playing guitars on a beach at Toulon, a town in southern France. Vola invited them to jam with his own band, which included the young violinist, Stephane Grappelli, and guitarist Roger Chaput. The "Hot Club de France" was a music society devoted to the preservation of jazz, and two of its leaders and promoters Pierre Nourry and Charles Delaunay urged Django and Stephane to form a full-time group. The rest is history…..and "The QUINTETTE DU HOT CLUB DE FRANCE was formed in 1934 and remained active for 15 years. The original lineup included five members, Django, Grappelli, bassist Louis Volla, Django's brother Joseph, and one other rhythm guitarist, Roger Chaput. There was no real percussion section in the quintette, the two rhythm guitars and bass created all of the percussion in this all-string ensemble. Django and Grappelli remained constants in future recordings, while rhythm guitarists and bassists rolled in and out of the group. Five years later, when World War II broke out in   1939, the Quintette was on a concert tour of England. Reinhardt, returned home to France,

Classical and jazz singer shares the ups and downs of life on the road and how to make money in between. Heather Cairncross, is of course, also lucky enough to be Nicola's sister Heather's uniquely versatile voice has allowed her to sing successfully at the highest level internationally in many musical genres. Her career has included concert performances at Carnegie Hall with Stephane Grappelli, operas at La Scala, Milan, and solo engagements with the world's leading ensembles including the Chicago, Boston and London Symphony Orchestras. A specialist in both contemporary and baroque music, Heather sings with Steve Reich and Musicians as well as being a member of, and soloist for Sir John Eliot Gardiner's Monteverdi Choir (which Gramophone Magazine voted Best Choir in the World in 2010). She is equally in demand in the recording studio. In addition to the fifteen albums she recorded as a member of a cappella group The Swingle Singers, she has sung for artists such as Tony Bennett, Björk, Mike Oldfield and Michael Jackson. She has also recorded many film scores including Lord Of The Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars and La Vie en Rose (BAFTA 2008 winner). Heather premiered David Newton's Jazz Song Cycle Portrait of a Woman in 2009 and they have enjoyed collaborating ever since. He has been voted Best Pianist by the British Jazz awards eleven times. Together, they recorded a CD called At Last which Walter Love on BBC Radio Ulster's Jazz Club described as “a remarkable example of empathy and understanding…as near to perfect as you're likely to get.” At the time of this recording, Heather was just back from a tour of China and had a busy year which included appearances at the Lincoln Centre as a soloist with the NY Philharmonic and at the Glastonbury Festival with Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead. Just Jazz Magazine wrote of her CD “I am not overstating it to suggest this recording is absolutely exceptional…..it is as good as any vocal album I have ever heard for a very long time. Just superb!” And All About Jazz said “When Cairncross sings……she makes every word count. Her voice, technically excellent and emotionally engaging, gives each lyric a very personal perspective, as if these are her stories, not just her interpretation of others' tales. It's the mark of a great jazz vocalist.” Chosen from over a thousand applicants to attend a special day at BBC centre to encourage more women into local radio presenting, Heather has just got a date for her first stint on Radio Sussex – watch this space… Listen To Heather Connect with Heather HeatherCairncross.com Facebook Twitter Please listen to the podcast to hear Heather's full mind, marketing and money tips for entrepreneurs.

Klassiske legender: Yehudi Menuhin - Violinist, humanist og vidunderbarn.Yehudi Menuhin (1916-1999) fik som 11-årig Albert Einstein til at udbryde "Nu ved jeg der er en Gud". Den unge violinist havde en tro på at kunne bibringe verden fred med sin musik, og da karrieren begyndte at stagnere, kastede humanisten og yogadyrkeren Menuhin sig over talentudvikling, ligesom han byggede bro på tværs af genrer i samarbejde med sitar-spilleren Ravi Shankar og jazz-violinisten Stephane Grappelli. Han ville give plads til alverdens musiktraditioner og kunstneres ytringsfrihed gennem sit formandsarbejde i FN-regi, på trods af politiske dagsordener. Vært: Rie Koch. www.dr.dk/p2koncerten

This week, oldtime, bluegrass, and psychograss pioneers Darol Anger & Mike Marshall recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park. Also, interviews with these legendary instrumentalists. Mark Jones offers an archival recording of Ozark originals Bob & Kay Blair performing the traditional song “Red Green.” Fiddler, composer, producer and educator, Darol Anger is at home in a number of musical genres, some of which he helped to invent. Exceptional among modern fiddlers for his versatility and depth, Anger has helped drive the evolution of the contemporary string band through his involvement with numerous pathbreaking ensembles such as his Republic Of Strings, the Turtle Island String Quartet, the David Grisman Quintet, Montreux, his Duo with Mike Marshall, and others. He has performed and taught all over the world with musicians such as Dr. Billy Taylor, Bela Fleck, Bill Evans, Edgar Meyer, Bill Frisell, David Grisman, Tony Rice, Tim O’Brien, The Anonymous 4, Marin Alsop and the Cabrillo Orchestra, the Detroit Symphony, Mark O’Connor, and Stephane Grappelli. Today Darol can be heard on NPR’s “Car Talk” theme every week, along with Earl Scruggs, David Grisman and Tony Rice. He was also the violinist on the phenomenally popular Sim City computer games. In addition to performing all over the world, he has recorded and produced scores of important recordings since 1977, is a MacDowell and UCross Fellow, and has received numerous composers’ residencies and grants. He has been a featured soloist on dozens of recordings and motion picture soundtracks. He is an Associate Professor at the Berklee School of music. Mike Marshall made his Carnegie Hall debut at the age of 20 with jazz violin legend Stephane Grappelli as a member of the David Grisman Quartet. In 1985 he would perform in that famed hall with his own classical ensemble The Modern Mandolin Quartet in 1985. Mike has been at the forefront of New Acoustic music for over 40 years having been the founding member of many groups including the Montreux Band, Psychograss, Choro Famoso and The Anger Marshall Band. Between 1999 and 2003 Mike collaborated with Joshua Bell, Edgar Meyer, Bela Fleck and Sam Bush on two separate projects. These groups toured the U.S.A. extensively and performed at the Aspen Music Festival, San Francisco Performances and Chamber Music at Lincoln Center, NY. Both ensembles were nominated for Grammy Awards for their Sony Classical releases. In 2014 Mike was nominated for his third Grammy Award for his recording with the Turtle Island Quartet. Currently Mike is touring with German mandolin virtuoso Caterina Lichtenberg. The two have released two cds on the Adventure Music label and have performed at the Carmel Bach Festival, The Savannah Music Festival, the Bach Haus Liepzig, Germany and the Rockygrass Bluegrass Festival in Colorado and have been soloists with the New Century Orchestra under Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, and Orchester l’arte del mondo from Cologne, Germany. He currently directs the Mike Marshall School of Mandolin through the ArtistWorks on-line educational company where he is teaching hundreds of mandolinists from around the world. Mike splits his time currently between his home in San Francisco, CA and Wuppertal, Germany where his wife, Caterina Lichtenberg holds the position of mandolin professor at the Cologne Music Conservatory. In this week’s “From the Vault” segment, musician, educator, and country music legacy Mark Jones offers an archival recording of Ozark originals Bob & Kay Blair performing the traditional song “Red Green,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives.

Joe Craven is one of those humans who seemingly knows no bounds. Truly a jack of all trades, he embodies many roles in life; a virtuosic multi-instrumentalist with no formal music training, an award winning music educator and camp director, a larger than-life colorful festival emcee, composer, band leader, collaborator in many different projects, actor, visual artist, museum curator, self proclaimed "fashion insultant", the list goes on... Craven has performed and recorded music with the likes of Stephane Grappelli, Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, Alison Brown, David Lindley, Howard Levy and many others. But perhaps more impressive is his 60 years of wisdom and insight he has accrued learning how to fully embody music and conquer the usual divide between instrument and self. Needless to say it was a pleasure and an honor talking to him and there is much to be gleamed from our conversation. Please Enjoy! Joe Craven Official Website

American broadcaster Katie Puckrik indulges in a little 'classical cross-pollination' as she presents familiar music in unfamiliar settings. Her choices include the first movement of Bach's concerto for two violins in D minor played by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, and the Hallelujah Chorus performed by the folk trio The Roches. There is music which contains American folk themes (Aaron Copland's Billy the Kid and the Hawthorne movement from Charles Ives' Piano Sonata No.2) and music played on the 'wrong' instruments (the first movement of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.3 performed on the Moog synthesizer and the Largo from the Winter movement of Vivaldi's the Four Seasons on a church organ).
