That's the one I will likely order.

The term field recording refers to an audio recording produced outside a studio. What makes a field recording special? Removing barriers to record, such as proximity to a studio and studio expense, and replacing them with an environment that is a normal setting for the performer in which he/she feels comfortable is essential for many artists. If not for taking recording devices to the performers, so much music we cherish would not exist. In addition to the musician, a key element to field recording is the person who engineers the recording. Dust-to-Digital has been fortunate to work with some of the very best: David Evans, Bruce Jackson, Alan Lomax, John Lomax, and Art Rosenbaum to name a few. This June we will present works made by two more legendary recordists: William Ferris and Hugh Tracey. Both men had similar paths to field recording — they just happened to be working 8,600 miles apart from each other. William Ferris was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi in 1942. He was raised on a working farm where he struck up relationships with many of the workers and began listening to their stories and songs. His desire to document the lives of the people around him was an organic evolution. He would use the audio recordings, photographs, and films he made as a young man throughout his career as a professor at Jackson State University, University of Mississippi, University of North Carolina, and Yale. We are excited to present these materials for the first time commercially in the 3CD + 1DVD box set Voices of Mississippi: Artists and Musicians Documented by William Ferris. The set includes a 120-page hardcover book. Hugh Tracey was born in Willand, United Kingdom in 1903. In the early 1920s, Tracey left Devonshire for southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) to become a tobacco farmer with his brother, who qualified for a land grant as a serviceman wounded in WWI. While working on the farm alongside Karanga fieldhands, he learned the Shona language and was exposed to Karanga work songs. This sparked his lifelong obsession with traditional African music which led to his beginning to make field recordings in the 1920s — a practice he continued through the 1970s. In 1954, Tracey founded the International Library of African Music, with whom we are excited to co-present Listen All Around: The Golden Age of Central and East African Music — two discs of recordings that Tracey made between 1950-1958. The discs are packaged in an 84-page hardcover book. We are currently accepting pre-orders for these two titles.

Last night, the Brad Mehldau Trio at the University of Texas at Dallas. The first half of the concert, which seemed to consist of material from an impending release, was utterly boring. Why did I come to this? Then, in a complete shift, the group played a Sidney Bechet composition, which was quite gorgeous. The last two songs, which I gathered was older repertoire of the group, were actually pretty good. So in the end I hated/liked the concert.

The linked discography is duplicative and incomplete. I was consulting The Riverside Book, a Japanese book which I bought at the Jazz Record Center.

I have 8 LPs in the series. According to a Riverside discography, there are 16 in total, the last being Riverside 3519, Compositions of Irving Berlin.

That is Putin's personal copy. Comes with a vial of nerve gas and a mystery videotape set in a Moscow hotel.

Yes, both performance and sound. I also have the Elvin Jones Jazz Machine at Onkel Po's Carnegie Hall in my CD queue. There are several others in the series that look appealing as well.

I was excited to receive my set today, but I have exactly the same problem--two copies of discs 3 and 4 and no discs 5 and 6. I guess the quality control person was laid off.

I haven't been there, but Gruene Hall (in or near New Braunfels) claims to date back to 1878. And they have a reasonably diverse live band schedule. http://gruenehall.com/

Country music, no thanks; the music club to go to in Austin is Antone's.

Violin and Sitar Jugalbandi – Singing Strings Saturday, April 07, 2018 4:00:00 PM Venue: Allen Library Civic Auditorium, 300 N. Allen Drive, Allen TX 75013 Admission: ICMC Members: Free General: $30 Student: $20 Indradeep Ghosh Violin Indrajit Banerjee Sitar Subrata Bhattacharya Tabla Indradeep Ghosh is one of the top ranking violinists in India and a trailblazer for Senia Maihar Gharana. He initially started playing violin at the tender age of six under the guidance of Sri Anamitra Mustafi. He has been under the tutelage of Professor Smt. Sisirkana Dhar Chowdhury since 1991. He also had the privilege of getting training with different maestros of Indian Classical Music including Pandit V.G. Jog and Pandit Kumar Bose. Indradeep is one of the few Indian Classical violinists to play a custom made five-string violin with eight sympathetic strings, modeled after the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle. The sympathetic strings allow for a fuller, resonant sound. His performances integrate many different styles and techniques of Western Classical and Oriental music. His style of playing can be described as a blend of Gayki and Tantrakari Ang with his fortes being taan and jhala. Along the years, Indradeep has participated in several music festivals and concerts of India and abroad such as 10th Asia Festival in Spain, 42nd EUYC in Switzerland, YOMAD Festival in Croatia, Yoga—Vidya Music Festival Germany, Biswa Banga Sammelan, Baba Allauddin Memorial Festival, , Salt Lake Music Festival, Prativa Utsav organized by EZCC, Dover Lane Music Festival, Kal Ke Kalakar Sangeet Sammelan Mumbai, Kala Prakash and Kashi sangeet Samaj, Varanasi and many more. He has to his credit many Classical and Fusion Music albums. He is the Artistic Director for Global Creative Arts Academy, Houston, Texas and also serves as a faculty instructor at School of Indian Percussion and Music, Austin, Texas. Sitarist Indrajit Banerjee is one of the leading exponents of the Maihar Gharana. He was born in a musical family, unique due to the large number of accomplished artists in Hindustani Classical Music. Some of these family members include his guru, Pandit Kartick Kumar (Sitar), Pandit Barun Kumar Pal (Hamsa Veena), Niladri Kumar (Sitar), Partho Das (Sitar), Aparna Roy (Surbahar). He got inspiration from his sitarist mother, Manju Banerjee, who was a disciple of late Nikhil Banerjee, and afterwards, Santosh Banerjee. Indrajit’s training began with his maternal grandfather, Bankim Kumar Pal, who was the disciple of Inayat Khan, and Birendra Kishore Roy Chowdhuri (Kochi Babu). He then took training under Pandit Manilal Nag of Bishnupur Gharana. Later on, he took intensive training from his uncle, Pandit Kartick Kumar, who is a senior disciple of Pandit Ravi Shankar. He is an A grade artist of All India Radio and National Television, Panel Artist for Indian Council Of Cultural Relations, has served as Judge for A.I.R (Kolkata), and is a member of the American Federations of Musicians, and voting member of The Recording Academy (Grammies). He was awarded the Gokul Nag Memorial Medal in 1987 by Bangia Sangeet Parishad, (W. Bengal), “Sur Mani”in 1990 by Sur Sringal Samsad Bombay, Avinav Kala Samman in 1997 by Avinav Kala Parishad (Bhopal). Parangotsava-2007 (a festival held in Mysore, Karnataka) recognised him as Veteran (Pandit). Indrajit has been touring extensively toured in the U.K., Europe, Caribbean Islands, Lebanon , Hawaii, Alaska, Costa Rica, Brazil and Canada for the last 18 years as a solo sitar artist. He has also collaborated with several artists from the West, including STING (Channel V Awards), Yaron Herman, Abbos Kosimov, Goodman Theatre, Fareed Haque, etc. He has several solo sitar albums to his credit. Indrajit has National and International awards from India and the USA. Indrajit is also a composer and has arranged music for several albums and award winning documentary films. Subrata Bhattacharya is one of the leading tabla players in India today. He has received his taalim under Shri Tamal Krishna Chatterjee, Shri Nripen Karmakar and Shri Tapan Kr. Banerjee before he was finally accepted as a pupil of tabla maestro Pt. Shankar Ghosh, all of whom honed his talent to the level of refinement now witnessed by audiences everywhere. He has since proved himself a worthy exponent of the Farukhabad Gharana. Recognition of his talent has come in the form of such awards as the Sangeet Prabhankar and the Gold Medal and the Saangeet Praveen from Prayag Sangeet Samiti, Allahadad, and Sangeet Bhushan from the Bhatkhande College, Lucknow. Renowned artists whom he has accompanied in the past few years are Pt. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Dr. L. Subramaniam, Dr.N.Rajam, Pt. Buddhaditya Mukherjee, Ud Shahid Parvez Khan, Ud Ali Ahmed Hussain, Chitraveena Ravikiran, Pt. Tejendra Narayan Majumdar, Pt. Samaresh Chaudhury, etc. He is a visiting professor at the University of Urbana Champaign,IL. The next milestone of his creativity and innovation is "Naad- The Everlasting Sound", a group he has formed to experiment with fusion music. It seems the next inevitable step in Subrata's career as a mingling and merging of eastern, middle eastern and western styles of music is the trend among makers and lovers of music these days. He is been a part of the Chicago based Indo -Jazz band Flat Earth Ensemble since its inception.
