ALLEGRO NEWS

ROLLING STONE BEST OF 2012 David Fricke recently published his best-of-the-year list and Royal Southern Brotherhood made the cut!

“My first set during last year’s Jazz Fest was free music at the city’s best record store. Royal Southern Brotherhood is a band of notable breeding and heavyDixie intent; the quintet includes singer-guitarist Devon Allman (son of Gregg), singer-percussionist Cyril Neville (of those brothers), and drummer Yonrico Scott, formerly with Derek Trucks. That day, they played songs from a record I hadn’t heard yet — their debut, Royal Southern Brotherhood (Ruf) — but stayed with long after, especially the swampStones opener ‘New Horizons’and a version of the Grateful Dead’s ‘Fire on the Mountain’ reset in iridescent bayou waters.”

RUDRESH FEATURED ON NPR’s FIRST LISTEN “When alto saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa was considered a ‘rising star’ among jazz bookers and critics, and not quite a full-blown headliner, he led a very good quartet. Propelled by a classic combination of double bass and drums. Since the last quartet record in 2006, Mahanthappa has toured with a lot of different bands: They have names like the Dakshina Ensemble, and the Indo-Pak Coalition, and Samdhi, and Apex, and the Jack DeJohnette Group. All of those experiences seem to be stuffed into his new quartet album, Gamak.”

Renowned drummer Jaimeo Brown’s haunting debut as a leader brilliantly taps the root connections between African-American spirituals, East Indian music, Coltrane improvisation, and modern electronica!

• On this sure candidate for Jazz Debut of the Year, Jaimeo Brown’s chemistry with guitarist/producer Chris Sholar (Q-Tip, Kanye West, Jay-Z) and jazz sax titan J.D. Allen is extraordinary.

• The creative use of electronic sampling in a live setting with hard-driving acoustic jazz will raise the curiosity of the hip-hop/soul community, while the inclusion of the Gees Bend Gospel Singers gives this disc crossover potential into both college and Americana markets.

• Though this is Brown’s debut as a leader, he has widely toured and recorded as a drummer for stars across many genres including Stevie Wonder, Carlos Santana, Wynton Marsalis, Kaamal (a.k.a. Q-Tip), Carl Craig, Kenny Garrett, Geri Allen, Steve Turre, Pharoah Sanders, and Bobby Hutcherson, with whom he established his national reputation as a go-to sideman when he was just 19 years old.

• Arresting tenor saxophonist J.D. Allen, praised by the New York Times for his “enigmatic, elegant, and harddriving style,” gained HHHH in DownBeat (Victory) and earned their Rising Sax Star Award.

• Guitarist Chris Sholar worked on Jay-Z & Kanye West’s platinum-selling Watch the Throne and has collaborated with Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Lil Wayne, Frank Ocean, Snoop Dogg, and more.

• Selected to showcase at Jazzahead in April 2013, which will jumpstart Brown’s touring career as a leader.

jazz • The explosive Chuck Owen & The Jazz Surge serves up an orchestrated work of art, taking the listener on a musical journey from tranquil to explosive … EPIC! • Chuck Owen is Distinguished University Professor of Jazz Studies at the University of South Florida, where he also serves as founding and Artistic Director of the USF Center for Jazz Composition.

• A committed, passionate, and nationally respected educator for over 25 years, he is recognized just as readily for his unique compositional voice and creative, colorful approach to arranging/orchestration.

• While steeped thoroughly in the jazz tradition, Owen does not hesitate to draw from a diverse array of additional influences ranging from contemporary classical and American folk/blues to Latin styles, funk/ hip-hop, and even country. The result is an evocative, thoughtful, and frequently playful body of work.

• Recently honored as a 2009 Guggenheim Fellow, which lead to the creation of Owen’s first large-scale work for orchestra, there is clearly much more on the horizon for this artist whose stature continues to rise!

This is his masterpiece; it’s like all of his preceding works were streams leading into this larger body of water, drenched with his life’s emotions and experiences.” — Randy Brecker

blues/rock • The music and legacy of Billy Gibbons (vocals and guitar), Dusty Hill (vocals, bass, and keyboards), and Frank Beard (drums) is celebrated here, featuring performances by the biggest, baddes, transatlantic gathering of classic rock icons paying tribute to that little ol’ band from Texas by giving their own respectful spin to some of ZZ Top’s most celebrated anthems!

• Hot on the heels of the release of ZZ Top’s brand-new, Rick Rubin-produced, stripped-to-the-bone gutbucket blues album La Futura!

• Formed in 1969 in Houston — and one of very few rock bands of that era still composed of its original members — ZZ Top evolved from a humble bluesrooted trio into larger-than-life legends of stadium rock.

• Despite their gradual progression toward a more contemporary sound, the band never strayed too far from their roots, and throughout their career produced a blues-rock sound based on Hill’s and Beard’s rhythm section support, accentuated by Gibbons’ unique guitar histrionics and vocal style.

• With the aid of clever, sexy video clips for such songs as “Gimme All Your Lovin’,” “Sharp Dressed Man,” and “Legs,” ZZ Top became MTV icons, as did the red 1933 hot rod Ford coupé (restored by Billy Gibbons himself) that gave the album its name, and which the band drove around in the videos.

• Promo copies sent to relevant media including magazines, websites, and selected radio stations.

Track Listing: Walter Trout: Gimme All Your Lovin’ • Molly Hatchet: Sharp Dressed Man • Pat Travers: Waitin’ For The Bus • Pat Travers: Jesus Just Left Chicago • Mick Moody & Lea Hart: Got Me Under Pressure • Mick Moody & Lea Hart: Tush • Mick Moody & Steve Overland: If I Could Only Flag Her Down • Black Oak Arkansas: La Grange • National Dust: I’m Bad, I’m Nationwide • Artimus Pyle: Legs • Ray Calcutt & Dougie White: Planet Of Women • Ray Calcutt & Lea Hart: I Got The Six • Fee Waybill: Cheap Sunglasses • Andy Barnett, Steve Overland: Dirty Dog • The Artimus Pyle Band: Pearl Necklace • Atlanta Rhythm Section: Sharp Dressed Man/Gimme All Your Lovin’ • A stellar cast of classic rock and southern rock musicians — including past and present members of Lynyrd Skynyrd themselves — pay tribute to one of the greatest rock bands to ever conquer the world!

• The all-star line-up on this album includes former Lynyrd Skynyrd members Ed King and Artimus Pyle, as well as the original Honkettes revisiting “Double Trouble.” Current Lynyrd Skynyrd lead guitarist and primary songwriter Rickey Medlocke — who joined the band in 1996 — also joins his previous band, Blackfoot, for their rendition of “Seasons,” a ballad he originally wrote for Skynyrd.

• Originally formed in 1964 as the “Noble Five” in Jacksonville, Florida, Lynyrd Skynyrd are acknowledged for popularizing Southern Rock. The band rose to worldwide recognition thanks to its driving live performances featuring raging guitars and layers of soaring vocals, in combination with a number of humongous hits such as “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Saturday Night Special,” and “Free Bird.”

• In 1977, at the pinnacle of their success, three members died in an airplane crash, abruptly wiping out the band’s classic and most popular line-up. The survivors re-grouped in 1987 for a reunion tour, with deceased lead singer Ronnie Van Zant’s younger brother Johnny fronting the outfit, and they haven’t looked back since.

• Lynyrd Skynyrd was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in March 2006.

metal • With their unique brand of thrash and speed metal, with some epic parts thrown in for good measure, Taunted have produced a commanding and innovative album that distinguishes itself from the common mainstream. 9 Sins, the band’s third album, definitely promises to be the most exciting yet!

• A seminal underground Bay Area thrash band formed in 1992 by vocalist Jacques Serrano and guitarist Joey Genoni, Taunted is a killer thrash and speed metal band with some melodic metal added into the mix.

• The year 2012 marked the band’s 20th anniversary, celebrating two decades during which Taunted shared the stage with bands long forgotten and legends that are still around. The recent addition of drummer Larry Howe (Vicious Rumors) solidified the Taunted line-up, which besides Serrano and Genoni now comprises guitarist Matt Gower (Hollow Point Syndicate) and bassist Elena Repetto (Imagika).

• In late 2010 Paul Logue (Eden’s Curse) and James Murray hatched a plan to form a melodic metal band of exceptionally talented musicians. With Murray taking up the bassist position, they enlisted drummer John Clelland and young keyboard player Scott McLean. The lineup was later completed by young guitar virtuoso Ben Randall, who had won the “Most Promising Young Guitarist” title at the 2008 London Guitar Idol contest, and experienced Brazilian vocalist Gus Monsanto (Adagio, Timo Tolkki’s Revolution Renaissance).

A stunning new release from the last known blues musician who can play the “Betonia Blues Style”!

• Jimmy Duck Holmes is one of today’s most celebrated blues artists, and the last known blues musician who can play the “Betonia Blues Style.” The Betonia style is named after the style of Skip James and Jack Owens, who played the famous songs “Hard Times” and “I’d Rather Be the Devil,” and is characterized by distinctive tunings, the use of falsetto, and dark lyrical themes.

• Various researchers — including Alan Lomax — recorded Holmes, but until recently his only vocal appearance on record was the song “Devil’s Blues,” which he performed with Cornelius Bright.

• In 2006, Broke & Hungry released Holmes’ debut CD Back to Bentonia, which won several Living Blues Awards and led to performances at the Chicago Blues Festival and the Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival.

• In 2007 the same label released a second CD, Done Got Tired of Tryin’, which National Public Radio listed as one of the “Top 10 Blues Albums” of the year.

• This new CD release features 12 great original songs by one of the best!

• Promo to radio stations and magazines.

APRIL 20 1 3

The first revival of Ivor Novello’s popular musical, which returns to the London’s West End in February 2013!

• The only cast recording of the entire score of the popular musical Gay’s the Word!

• Ivor Novello is one of the most beloved British composers for the musical stage.

• Top notch cast includes Sophie-Louise Dann (Olivier® nominee for her West End triumph in Lend Me a Tenor), multi-award-nominee Helena Blackman (BBC’s “How Do You Solve a Problem like Maria?”), fast-rising Josh Little (Dreamboats and Petticoats, Footloose), and Tony® Award winner Elizabeth Seal, whose career began in the original production of Gay’s the Word.

• The original production opened at the Palace Theatre in Manchester on October 17, 1950. It transferred to the Saville Theatre in London, with its West End premiere on February 16, 1951. Although the composer died less than a month after its opening, aged 58, the musical ran for 504 performances. The following review appeared in The Sketch eight days after Novello’s death: “The charm of Gay’s the Word is its genial madness, its illumination by a green-cheese moon. Ivor Novello supplied the anecdote about an actress who starts a school of acting; Alan Melville has decorated it with his sharpest, most craftily-rhymed lyrics; Novello wrote music that you will hum in the bath next morning … if you ask for more, it seems to me that you are impossibly demanding.”

— AT THE THEATRE WITH J.C. TREWIN Featuring Sophie-Louise Dann, Helena Blackman, Josh Little, Doreen Hermitage, Eileen Page, Jonny Purchase, Myra Sands, Elizabeth Seal, Frank Barrie, Valerie Cutko, Paul Slack, James Bentham, Anna Brook-Mitchell, Daniel Cane, Amy Hamlen, James Irving, Lindsey Nicholls, Sophie Simms, and Sebastian Smith
