Blu-ray reviews: From Birdman to Whiplash, Big Hero 6 and Horrible Bosses 2 A selection of Academy Award-winning offerings come to Blu-ray
Whiplash (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Rated: R, $34.99) — A teacher pushes his students to their limits to craft the next great jazz musician in one of the best films of 2014. Winning the Academy Award for his performance, actor J.K. Simmons plays the manic mentor, with his potential drumming protege (a burgeoning maniac on the skins played by Miles Teller) perfectly complementing his fiery personality.

Although the high definition captures every bead of sweat and even blood dripping off the focused musicians, the star of the digital transfer is the sound, offered in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, and supporting some powerful musical numbers as well as Mr. Simmons‘ booming dialogue.

The extras are equally potent, with a variety befitting a great film. First, viewers get an informative commentary track from director Damien Chazelle and Mr. Simmons (the guy seems a bit too similar to his character, Terence Fletcher). They also get the 18-minute short film “Whiplash” (Jury Award-winner at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival) that became the basis for the full-length movie.

Additionally, and most enjoyable for this drummer, was a 43-minute look at such famed percussionists as Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp), Simon Phillips (The Who), Gina Schock (The Go Go’s) and Doane Perry (Jethro Tull). Each explains their love affair with drums, the challenges of the instrument and their passion for playing music.

Mullingar man's fourth book hits the bookshelves in March
A Mullingar man living in Wolverhampton is to see his fourth book hit the bookshelves this March.
Soundcheck Books is the publisher of David Burke’s Singing Out: A Folk Narrative of Maddy Prior, June Tabor and Linda Thompson, which weaves the stories of British folk music’s best-known and best-loved women into a single tale.
Why this trio particularly? David explains: “Maddy Prior, June Tabor and Linda Thompson have both endured and evolved.
“The people’s relationship with the folk tradition may be capricious, but Maddy, June and Linda have remained resolutely committed to it while concurrently contemporising it.”
They all began in the folk clubs of the second folk revival in the 1960s but, while staying true to their roots, have never been afraid to try new things.
Maddy Prior MBE is renowned as the front woman of Steeleye Span, and has also collaborated with Shirley Collins, Mike Oldfield, The Carnival Band and June Tabor as The Silly Sisters.
June has often been labelled the grand dame of English folk music. Linda Thompson’s later career has largely been blighted by hysterical dysphonia, a condition that has stopped her singing for long periods.
However, her albums with ex-husband Richard Thompson remain classics of the genre.
David interviewed all three women for Singing Out, along with many others, including Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson, Martin Carthy, Christy Moore, Martin Simpson, Rufus Wainwright, Ron Sexsmith and Pere Ubu’s David Thomas.
David, a past pupil of Coláiste Mhuire, worked as a journalist with the Topic newspaper and later with the Offaly Independent before moving to the UK in 1990.
He spent six years working in print, audio and television as part of the World Entertainment News Network. His features have appeared in the UK’s red tops and international publications such as Esquire (Japan) and Pop Rocky (Germany).
A television subtitler by day and contributor to R2 and Vintage Rock magazines by moonlight, he has authored three books, Crisis In The Community: The African Caribbean Experience Of Mental Health, Heart Of Darkness: Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska and A Sense Of Wonder: Van Morrison’s Ireland.

Jukebox Jury: Venom

Were Sabbath a huge influence on you?

Cronos: For anyone into metal to say otherwise, they’d be a liar. It’s funny, I’m a massive Jethro Tull fan, and Ian Anderson was nearly in Sabbath. You listen back to some of that early Tull stuff and you can kind of hear it — they were two very similar bands in the very early days. But can you imagine how it would have been if Ozzy had not got the job and Ian Anderson had stayed? Because Anderson took on that little pixie thing. Ozzy had that whole drunken rock star thing down, which worked. Ian Anderson was way too clever to have stay this basic.

Rage: He’d have got f**ked off the amount of drugs they took.

Cronos: That’s right. I think it was Elton John who said Sabbath invented heavy metal, and without a doubt — without a f**king doubt. The riffs and the chords, they’re still used today.

A conversation with Sandro Norton
Musician spoke to the GPS before taking the album Flying High ... At The Heart Of It to the House of Music, on 10 March

Full article

During that time you met Ian Anderson of Jethtro Tull, who appears in a Youtube video to review your music?

It's a very funny story. By the time I finished my master had - indeed, there - an essential guitarist in London, which is the Mike Outram and Mike Outram is the guitarist jazz a number in London. Period. For failure of all other jazz guitarists in London, he is number one. And at the time he called me (I had classes with him for 5 years) and said "attention you'll get a surprise." There was one morning I received a call from Dave Anderson, son of Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, to say that he had been called because Ian had heard 40 guitarists and had not liked any of the 40, and that he had spoken with Mike Outram and that Mike had advised my name to join the band. The first time I even thought it was a joke and hung up. They returned the call and started laughing. Then I had a meeting, and that's how I met Ian.

So touched with Jethro Tull.

Mh-hum, but only did three dates with them.

How about it?

To be very honest, the time was not aware of who the Jethro Tull because I was in the jazz world and the world of classical music - was studying Villa Lobos at the time. In fact, I remember perfectly - when Dave Anderson called me I was studying the study # 3 Villa Lobos. It was very funny because when he told me to go play with Jethro Tull, I just realized how greatness when I was telling my friends in London who responded with "wow, you're gonna play with Jethro Tull" and "hey, I can not believe ". Only then is that I realized - and of course, I went to the internet, to our Google - and ready, it was very funny experience, go to his house, playing to 50,000 people, it was a good experience. A different jazz world bit, where we have no chance to play for 50,000 people. So it was a good experience.

Joe Satriani, Tosin Abasi and Guthrie Govan Join Forces for 2015 G4 Experience — Video
Thin, wiry and slumped in a leather chair across from Abasi, Guthrie Govan is sporting a rumpled Pac-Man T-shirt that looks as if he’s slept in it. His abundant nut-brown hair and scraggly beard appear not to have known the benefit of comb, brush or even shampoo in quite some time. He’s just off the plane from London, but looks as if he might just as well have tumbled out of a time machine, transported from some grotty, early-Seventies Jethro Tull lineup into the 21st Century technopolis that is San Francisco.

Gareth Laffely Set To Headline Chattanooga Heritage Festival And Pow Wow On The River 2015
03-24-2015

Nashville, TN (Tuesday, March 24th, 2015) - - Gareth Laffely, 16-year-old NAMMY Rising Star Award recipient and NAMMY and ISMA multi-award nominated Native American flutist, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter, and producer, returns to the Chattanooga Heritage Festival and Pow Wow On The River 2015 stage as a headline performer on Saturday, April 4th and Sunday, April 5th. Performance times are, Saturday, April 4th - 5:15pm and 8:30 pm, and Sunday, April 5th - 4:00pm (time approximate due to Pow Wow events scheduled).

"Mention flute music in any combination with rock or pop and you naturally think of Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. And, it's apparent Gareth's musical vision combines the spiritual and healing influences of the Native American flute with the edge of Ian Anderson. Gareth has an exceptional command of the Native American Flute as an instrument..." - William Kelly Milionis, Chicago Live Music Examiner - Examiner.com

(sorry)

If the motives of an individual are the primary reason for (or explanation of) his or her actions, then the moral quality of those actions may be entirely different from the moral quality of those actions whose expected or intended consequences were the primary reason for (or explanation of) their having been performed.

One question stood out amongst the rest

In what ways do you think Jethro Tull would have been a different
band had either Mick Taylor or Davy O'List joined?
Sheldon Goldstein, via email

After Mick Abrahams left, we saw a number of guitar players.
I don't remember whether we seriously considered Mick. Davy
struck me as being a bit off the wall. Part of the reason he left
The Nice was he psychologically couldn't really handle being in
a band and working with other people. He was quite idiosyncratic
and didn't really want to learn what somebody else put in front
of him. Finding a guitar player, it's like dogs sniffing each other's
bottoms. You don't get too far into the relationship 'cos there could be
a fight. An early bonding takes place that perhaps is inadvisable. It's all
very polite! But Davy wanted to find his own niche. It was just as well.

Def Leppard Frontman on Maintaining the Stamina to Play Live
In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Elliott talked about the band's continued drive, a new album and that 1976 Jethro Tull song about an aging rocker.

AP: Is Jethro Tull's song "Too Old to Rock and Roll: Too Young to Die!" still relevant?

Elliott: He was probably just in his late 20s when he wrote it. Now (Jethro Tull frontman) Ian Anderson is in his 60s and still making great music. ... Age doesn't matter anymore. That's the one thing that's become a pattern over the last seven or eight years, with (Paul) McCartney still out there and the (Rolling) Stones still out there, and even Aerosmith and AC/DC getting up there. Billy Joel, Elton John. These are people that have been around since the '60s and they're still selling stadiums out. There's nobody else that seems to be coming through to take over. They're not stepping aside, they're fighting. They're fighting us, and we're fighting the generation below us.

Don’t hire C.J. Deering.

“I don’t know why people hire me,” she laughed. “Maybe I’m just lucky, maybe they see something in me that I don’t.”

Throughout the dozens and dozens of occupations she has held, Deering was a department store Easter Bunny (fired for accidentally setting the costume aflame while on a cigarette break), sex education teacher, photographer’s assistant (fired), weather girl (quit), radio DJ (fired for drunkenly swearing on-air), gelato delivery woman (quit due to melted product), stockbroker (fired for costly typing errors), tour manager for Jethro Tull, dog bakery cook (quit), personal assistant for Eric Clapton, financial television reporter (quit), office worker for The Eagles, cemetery plot salesperson (quit), and, most ironically, and employment counselor (quit). The list goes on and on, with Deering in awe of her journey within the American workforce. Currently, she’s the store manager for Anne’s Attic, a home décor business in Maggie Valley — a gig she has proudly held for the last couple of weeks.

“How do I keep getting hired? Hell, if I know — you should see my resume, now that is a great example of creative writing,” she chuckled. “I wish that my life could have been kind of normal, but I guess you always want what you don’t have. I look at people that have been married a longtime, have raised kids, lived in a house and had regular jobs, and I’ve thought what a great life that would be, but it just wasn’t in the stars for me.”

There was a time when four-piece rock bands dominated the airwaves and filled stadiums all across the country, and even did so composing complex, progressive arrangements. This time was known as the ’70s.

Locals Locomotive Breath pay tribute to this era—narrowing it down to the years 1967-1976—and have selected seven specific bands that embody this time in music: Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Doors, the Who, Cream, and Jethro Tull.

“When most bands do tribute bands, they try to bring back these memories of what you were doing when you first heard these songs,” says bassist Daniel Lewis. “I’m in my 50s. To a lot of people my age, these were mythical bands. We were listening to Dark Side of the Moon with our headphones—these albums were huge.”

The name Locomotive Breath is a reference to a Jethro Tull song, and as such Jethro Tull might be the most important band to the group, in that it was hearing them that inspired Lewis to listen to the music again. A couple of years back, Lewis heard one of their tunes on the radio and became enthralled—even more so when he went home and tried to play the bass lines, which aren’t easy.

He’s made this appreciation for the technical difficulty of the music a cornerstone of the band. Locomotive Breath doesn’t necessarily play the more known tunes by the artists they cover, they go for the most challenging ones. For instance, from Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, they don’t play “Money,” they play “Great Gig In The Sky.”

As much as this period in rock ’n’ roll was larger than life (even being referred to as “arena rock”), Lewis believes that an actual arena isn’t necessary for the music to be fully appreciated.

“It works on the small stage because at the end of the day it’s still about a band and an audience,” Lewis says. “Everyone loves it, whether they’re in a small bar or a 50,000 seat arena. The relationship between the band and the music they’re playing is pretty much the same.”
