The Mandolin Symposium is starting today in Santa Cruz. It's a very cool program, and our correspondent Rich DelGrosso is one of the instructors. I wish I could afford to go... http://www.mandolinsymposium.com/ Maybe some of you will be there. If so, please check out the resonator 5-string instrum

Not veering off, really. I also hear from Uncle Norman Blake that Doc Roberts was a helluva mandolinist. Outside the few recordings there are of him playing solo, I'm told that he recorded quite a bit as an accompanist. Taterbug On Jun 21, 12:16 pm, Tud Jones wrote: > Ooops here is that > l

I reckon another way of saying that, or a clearer way, is that Monroe's right hand didn't always play the 'rhythm melody' when the left hand was, nor did his left hand always play the melody when his right hand was. Then, there's that abstract thing to consider, and the implied notes, and...Oh what

Sounds like to me you guys have got it well in hand. My ramblings about Ella and her methods are purely my own way of understanding what she's doing, but I think this all bears out pretty well to the test. To me, Ella is a step ahead of fiddlesticks players, dancers and drummers when they play melo

It has recently been brought to my attention that the chanting aspect is indeed part of the prayer process and serves to open a clear channel to God(or whomever one believes in...) so that the person praying/playing and the listener are both involved more fully in the blessing. I suppose, in other

It could well be an something that was fostered or developed, conciously or unconciously, through prayer, and given the mystical themes of some of Mr. Statman's albums and the emotion his playing gives voice to in his klezmer albums, music and prayer seem to exist in the same sphere for him.

I think one of the advantages of say trios or duets is that it demands that the instruments are shifted from their normal sound space and have to find new voices to support each other. The genius of Bluegrass, for instance, is that each instrument has its own sound space and as a result they all s

I have both double CD sets (Forked Deer and Grey Eagle) and have studied on 'em. I love playing duets with a fiddler--and do so often-- so these records are a road map to that destination. Like Mike mentions, Ela does seem to be playing the melody with her right hand which makes good sense. When pl

It was either Oscar Peterson or Erroll Garner who always "hummed" or vocalised while playing. Even more interesting is that the vocalisation captured on disc was several bars ahead of what he was playing on the ivories. It always sounds like a tuneful "eh eh eh eh eh." I think I have a Garner 45
