The Folk Brothers Show Visits the Old and the New as Brother Peter Flies Solo this Week on Aug 19th, 2020

Wed, 08/19/2020 - 11:10am | Peter Schiffman

This morning I flew solo, revisiting some 70's classics, as they were - John Martyn's "Spencer The Rover" - or as reimagined - Nick Drake's "Black Eyed Dog" as interpreted by Ben Harper and Rhiannon Giddens - or as retold - "On The Road To Find Out" by Yusef/Cat Stevens. And lots of new music by Bonny Light Horseman, Fay Hield, Caoimhin O Raghallaigh and Dan Trueman, Shirley Collins, Cinder Well, The Jayhawks, Dirk Powell and Rainy Eyes, as well as Mark Barnett and Sarah Jaroz. Fiddler Mike Barnett suffered a massive cerebral hemorage in late July. His friends and family have created a Go Fund Me campaign - "The Mike Barnett Recovery Fund" - to help defray costs for his recovery.

3rd Streaming Celebrates the Birthday of French Composer Claude DeBussy and His Impact on Classical Music and Jazz - Aug 18th, 2020

Tue, 08/18/2020 - 3:10pm | Gary Chew

Mid August always brings the date when Claude Debussy was born. As we're at 2020, that happened 158 years ago. Great Impressionistic music by this Frenchman has made a non-stop impact on classical music and jazz. Debussy's harmonies are heard often in those genres and sometimes in film scores as well.

Other composers on the list this week are Andre Previn, Eddie Sauter, Lowell Libermann, Dmitri Shostakovich, John Coltrane, Lennon and McCartney, and from two local musicians, Melissa Collard and Jacám Manricks. 3rd Streaming airs Tuesdays 1-3 PM and Thursdays 9:30-11:30 PM. Stream at kdrt.org
