David Bromberg was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on September 19, 1945, and spent most of his childhood in Tarrytown, New York.

Joan Baez - Life Peace (2007)

bieffe — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:27:50 GMT

“

This is a very worthwhile DVD albeit a bit on the short side. It is good to see vintage Joan Baez from 1969 and 1972,also to see the late Mimi Farina as well. Having seen Joan recently and hearing her sing 'Mary Hamilton ' (the first time she has sung it in a concert I have attended) it was lovely to see a very early video of her singing it at Newport. She also sings my favourite song ' Joe Hill ' and also a song about Mimi called 'Sir Galahad'.

Various Artists - Soul Classics (2003)

bieffe — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 01:37:01 GMT

“

Only 12 tracks but some good rare stuff in there Commodores Hirsuite in 'sail on' is a gem and Gloria Gaynors I will Survive is the re-mixed 1994 version not the orginal 79 chart topper.Cameo's 'word up' is in it's full glory including a 'cameo' by Levar Burton as a cop 3 years before he Boarded the Enterprise! The real find on this disc is Womack's 'teardrops' from 1988..hardly legends of soul but a good late '70's to 80's memory refresher which if you are a Video Jock essential other wise for civvies after a viewing is likely to stay on the shelf until the houseparty.

The Guitar Artistry Of - John Fahey: On The Sunny Side Of The Ocean (2011)

bieffe — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 02:19:01 GMT

“

John Fahey is one of acoustic music's true innovators and eccentrics. He was a crucial figure in expanding the boundaries of the acoustic guitar over the last few decades. His music was so eclectic that it's arguable whether he should be defined as a 'folk' artist. In a career that saw him issue several dozen albums, he drew from blues, Native American music, Indian ragas, experimental dissonance and pop.

“

After Pentangle split in 1973, Bert Jansch returned to his prolific solo career but missed playing in a group context. The Bert Jansch Conundrum came into existence as the 1970s waned. Jansch recorded a solo album called A Rare Conundrum in 1977, with mandolinist Rod Clements and fiddler Mike Piggott as supporting players. When Piggott was unable to go out on a Scandinavian tour, Martin Jerkins hired on to play violin on the dates. They hit it off and Nigel Portman-Smith came aboard to play bass. They toured Europe and America. Bert recalled: “I got to know Martin in that period between the original Pentangle splitting up and the beginning of the eighties. I knew him pretty well and we did a lot of gigs together.

bieffe — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 16:54:36 GMT

“

Whether Guy Davis is appearing on Late Night TV programs or nationally syndicated radio shows, in front of 25,000 people at Madison Square Garden, or an intimate gathering of students at a Music Camp, Guy feels the instinctive desire to give each listener his ‘all’. His ‘all’ is the Blues. Guy can tell you stories of his great-grandparents and his grandparents, they’re days as track linemen, and of their interactions with the KKK. He can also tell you that as a child raised in middle-class New York suburbs, the only cotton he’s personally picked is his ‘BVDs’ up off the floor. He’s a musician, composer, actor, director, and writer.

Marvin Gaye - Final 24: His Final Hours (2010)

bieffe — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:38:06 GMT

“

In my earlier years I was a huge fan of Motown Music. There weren’t too many that were part of the Motown group that I didn’t like. Marvin Gaye was a part of Motown. He was considered the Prince of Motown and yes I was a fan of his music. Some of his biggest hits includes “You’re a Wonderful One”, “I Heard It Through the Grapevine”, and “What’s Going On?”. Although he was a huge success in his music career Marvin found himself in the drug world and became addicted to cocaine, which caused a lot of problems in his life and career.
