Virtuoso violinist Johnny Gandelsman makes Bach’s cello suites his own

Johnny Gandlesman lightens up Bach’s cello concertos
n story by VINCENT HARRIS | photo by DEMETRIUS FREEMAN
Johnny Gandelsman and Johann Sebastian Bach are on very familiar terms. Gandelsman is a Grammy-award winning virtuoso violinist who has been playing since he was 5 years old. And before he collaborated with Yo-Yo Ma and Bela Fleck (among many others), took on a daring contemporary classical repertoire with the quartet Brooklyn Rider and launched his own solo career, Gandelsman played a LOT of Bach’s music.
“This music is something that every string player grows up with,” he says. “I learned my fi rst piece of Bach’s when I was maybe 12 years old, and I’m now 42; I’ve been playing Bach throughout my life. It’s very much part of our canon, and there’s so much to learn there.” In fact, Gandelsman’s fi rst-ever solo album was 2018’s “J.S Bach: Sonatas & Partitas for Violin.” For the just-released follow-up, though, Gandelsman did something a little different. He took on the complete collection of Bach’s cello suites on the new double-CD set, transcribed for the violin.
When played on the violin, Gandelsman says that the suites take on a different musical shade.
“The cello has a gravitas to it,” he says. “It’s a lower sound and a different kind of resonance that adds to the music. But what I love about these works on the violin is how light and nimble they sound. I’ve listened to the cello suites all of my life, but I’ve been enjoying discovering that music in a different light on the violin.”
And indeed on the “J.S. Bach: Complete Cello Suites Transcribed for the Violin” album, the music seems to leap brightly from the speakers, and Gandelsman’s playing is so skillful that the suites often sound as if they were made for his instrument.
On the 6th suite, that instrument is a fi ve-string violin, something Gandelsman says is relatively rare in classical music.
“It’s not something that a lot of people in the classical world do,” he says, “but it’s very common in the folk music tradition, which is something that I really love. So that’s another thing I’ve been learning is how to play on the fi ve-string violin and how to manage it because it has a different resonance to it than my fi ddle. It’s an opportunity to learn something new and fi nd comfort with that.”
Gandelsman will be in the Upstate this Friday, March 13, for two performances involving the transcribed cello suites. He’ll be performing at Wofford College in the evening, mixing Bach’s compositions with more contemporary works by Akshaya Avril Tucker and Dana Lyn, but he’ll also be making a far more intimate afternoon appearance at Horizon Records for an in-store performance.
Gandelsman adds that he’s excited to be performing this material for an audience in general, because he hasn’t done a lot of that with this new release.
“It’s one thing to live with the pieces and know them,” he says, “but it’s completely different to then start performing them for an audience. I’ve spent a lot of time in my practice room or in hotel rooms on the road working on my own, but then you come out and play for an audience, and things change. When I perform them live, they feel completely different from the recordings.” Johnny Gandelsman and Johann Sebastian Bach are on very familiar terms.

The Single File: ‘Citizen Alone’ by Phat Lip UPSTATE BEAT
VINCENT HARRIS Contributor
n photo PROVIDED
Last year, the Upstate Latin-pop band Phat Lip released one of the year’s best singles, a deceptively light and catchy tune called “Coyote.” The song wasn’t about a wolf-like creature howling at the moon; it was a strikingly direct tale about an illegal immigrant, a woman who paid someone, known as a “coyote,” to smuggle her across the U.S.-Mexico border in a van.
-Kelly Jo Ramirez, musician
Phat Lip’s singer, songwriter and guitarist, Kelly Jo Ramirez, left the ending of the song ambiguous, so that we never know if the woman made it here or not. It was less of a political statement than it was an honest depiction of something that happens every day.
This stunning song, which just won the Upstate Music Award for Best Single of 2019, was a curve ball for Phat Lip, coming as it did after its debut EP, “Vision,” which was mostly about love, both physical and spiritual.
Let it be said that the band’s new single, “Citizen Alone,” is not about anything remotely political. And it’s not really about love. It’s more about the aftermath when a love affair explodes, set to an infectious midtempo funk-rock groove that’s just plain sexy; there’s no other word for it.
Ramirez, long one of the Upstate’s best singers, digs into the song with a fi ery fury; when she sings, “You couldn’t give a damn about me/ I don’t know how I don’t show out, get loud, I just shut down.” The song ends with an explosive solo by guest guitarist Matt Fassas and an NSFW kiss-off from Ramirez that we can’t reprint here.
If there’s any truth to the concept of music-as-therapy, that’s what we’re dealing with on “Citizen Alone.”
“That’s exactly what it is,” Ramirez says. “It’s about romantic rejection and dealing with that. And expressing how I was feeling made me realize my own truth and where I wanted to end the story. Writing the song helped me with the ending in real life.”
Yep, that’s right: This is a breakup song that actually occurred before — and then hastened — the breakup.
“There was a high infl ux of emotion going on,” she says, “and I had to write the song to therapeutically weed out what was good for me and what wasn’t.”
And as she was writing it, she had Matt Fassas in mind to be the spark that lit the song’s fuse.
“He’s an amazing guitarist, and he’s hands-down one of my favorite musicians,” Ramirez says. “We’d worked together quite a bit before, and his natural tone and style just fi t this song. It’s funny, because it’s so different from what he does, but I told him that I could hear him on this song, and he came in and just shredded it.
“And I said, ‘See? I told you!’” she adds with a laugh.
As odd as it might sound, Ramirez says she was actually more comfortable writing an intensely vulnerable song like “Citizen Alone” than she was writing a story-song like “Coyote.”
“I feel like the narrative songs are harder for me to write,” she says. “I’ve always written from an autobiographical standpoint. The personal connection in this case is a little more obvious, but I always like to put a little bit of me in there, if possible.”
Regardless of the subject matter she’s writing about, Ramirez has clearly found the right outlet of expression with Phat Lip. After years of playing solo and in other bands, it just feels like the right fi t.
“I’m super proud of this band, and I’m super proud of the music we’re putting out,” she says. “And it’s inspiring to fi nally get this song out and share it with the world.”

Is Jay Leno the hardest-working man in show biz?
Sure, Leno exited “The Tonight Show” in 2009 after 19 years of dominating the latenight TV ratings.
But don’t call Leno retired. The comedian and car guy continues to perform more than 100 stand-up engagements every year in nightclubs, theaters and stadiums. And he’s coming back to Greenville.
Leno will be at the Peace Center for one night only, 8 p.m. Friday, March 20. Tickets, as expected, are going fast.
But stand-up is not the only thing that occupies the 69-year-old Leno these days.
He does a lot of TV and voice-over work. He’s written two children’s books, and several for adults. He’s the producer and star of “Jay Leno’s Garage” on CNBC. He builds cars and writes a monthly column for Popular Mechanics.
His philanthropic work is fairly phenomenal. He’s performed for troops fi ghting in Afghanistan. He leads the annual Love Ride in California to benefi t numerous humanitarian organizations that help people with autism, muscular dystrophy and other dis

abilities. He’s worked with his wife, Mavis, on charitable and human-rights efforts for the Feminist Majority.
He’s a busy man. And a renaissance man, though given his everyman persona he’d probably prefer to be known as a jack-of-alltrades.
PASSION FOR CARS
He certainly has a passion for cars — as refl ected in “Jay Leno’s Garage.” His auto collection includes about 136 rare and vintage cars and 90 motorcycles, all valued at about $50 million. He has built a number of cars, including an acclaimed eco-car in his eco-friendly green garage.
What motivates Leno? When asked the question, Leno has answered in a half-joking vein.
“Anyone can have a life,” he has said, “but careers are hard to come by!”
Leno has done voice-over work in such movies as “Cars” and “Igor” and in the TV show “The Fairly Oddparents” on Nickelodeon where the character “The Crimson Chin” — a superhero with a chin with superpowers — was inspired by Leno’s own notable jawline.
It was in May of 1992 that Leno followed in the footsteps of NBC late-night hosts Steve Allen, Jack Paar and Johnny Carson as “The Tonight Show” host. Pitted against TV superstar David Letterman, Leno became the ratings leader of late night within two years and never looked back, establishing fi rm leadership in all demographic categories, a winning streak exceeding 50 consecutive quarters.
Leno, it’s fair to say, is a show-biz legend. And far from being retired.
Dolly Parton’s ‘9 to 5’ strikes a blow for female empowerment at Centre Stage n story by PAUL HYDE

Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5: The Musical” is a funny and energetic musical that also manages to strike a blow for female empowerment. You could think of it as a sort of countrifi ed “Les Mis” for the American working woman. Centre Stage is producing the popular show about three women who take revenge on their boss: a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical offi ce tyrant.
“9 to 5” opens March 19 for 15 performances through April 11.
The 2009 stage show, with music by Parton, is based on the 1980 movie that starred Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.
Forty years after the fi lm, Americans are still talking about the gender pay gap in the workplace and sexual harassment, said director John Fagan.
Parton propels the story, written by Patricia Resnick, with a buoyant score that includes the hit title song.

“He basically said that the best way to make a point is to get people to laugh at it,” Fagan said.
The cast of 14 features three veteran Upstate actresses as the working women: Michele Colletti (Violet), DeAna Earl (Judy) and Tiffany Nave (Doralee). “These women are knocking it out of the park,” Fagan said.
Fagan also designed the set, which includes a wall of office desks upstage and, for the floor, a big spreadsheet. April Kibbe is the choreographer.

Food trucks face regulatory speed bumps EAT & DRINK
n story by ARIEL TURNER | photo by WILL CROOKS
So you’re not quite ready to own a full restaurant but want to try your hand at some sort of food operation. How about a food truck?
The common thinking? That’s the easier route.
But what presents as a simpler foray into restaurant ownership in the city of Greenville’s competitive market has proven, for some, to be more diffi cult than expected with regulations about when and where trucks can operate in order to protect established restaurants’ business.
“The city values the growing foodie scene in Greenville and wants everyone to be successful,” says Mary Douglas Hirsch, real estate development manager with the city. “There is room for everyone, and we work to identify solutions and strategies for all segments of the restaurant industry. In 2013, as the city saw the growing demand from our community for food trucks, staff worked with food truck vendors and restaurant owners to address any concerns on the front end and to develop a food truck ordinance to help provide structure.”
Others have thrived and even grown their food truck business into more than one truck or a brick-and-mortar location. After five years on the road, Nick Thomas transitioned Automatic Taco to a brick-and-mortar location in The Commons food hall. Anmar Natheer of Keepin’ It Fresh took over operation of The 05 restaurant on Augusta Road with the same menu as his truck.
The Greenville community is very receptive of small local businesses and will give their support if the product is backed by creativity and diligence.” -Nick Thomas, owner, Automatic Taco
“The challenges of operating a food truck are certainly difficult, and can quickly extinguish the ambitions of many cubicle daydreamers after looking into the process,” Thomas says.
He lays out some of the initial process. “If you manage to fi nd your truck, invest heavily to get everything up to code, wade through the red tape of city permitting and establish a business license that is just as costly as a restaurant, then you are fi nally ready to start cooking,” he says.
Lauren Kulesz shut down her Mobile Meltdown food truck partially due to some of the city’s regulations
And once you get there, that’s just the beginning. What comes after has caused several trucks in the last few months to cease operation.
According to the city of Greenville’s records, as of March 3, only 17 food trucks of the 30 from the Aug. 28, 2019, list remained registered to operate within city limits.
“One of those challenges is the new fire-suppression code,” Thomas says. “This is an extremely costly endeavor and has put some trucks out of commission due to the sheer cost.”
Most older trucks do not already have the necessary fi re-suppression system in place. The more stringent fi re-suppression requirement that went into effect Jan. 1 is a statewide adoption of the newest edition of the International Fire Code. As such, all municipalities in South Carolina are required to enforce it. Food-truck owners were notifi ed in November of the change, and in order to operate in 2020, the $3,500 system had to be installed and inspected by the fi re marshall.
Jeff Bowman, business license supervisor for the city, works with food-truck operators to help keep them in line with regulations.
“For the fire-regulation change, they notified the vendors by mail, email and phone,” Bowman says. “Because the fire regulations were mandated by the state, the city did not have the authority to grant a grace period.”
The Black Thai food truck had a newer truck and the capital to make the necessary updates, says Dean Johnson, coowner, but he knows many truck owners are working paycheck to paycheck, making a new regulation and associated costs a hindrance to survival.

Kulesz says there are other factors to consider, including various fees for DHEC inspections and certifications, the weather, finding the right locations, and costly maintenance on trucks.
“With all of that being said, if you can establish your truck and make the right connections, it can certainly become fruitful,” Thomas says. “The Greenville community is very receptive of small local businesses and will give their support if the product is backed by creativity and diligence.”
Return to the Green Irish festival celebrates 25 years n story by ALEX COOPER | photo PROVIDED
A wee bit of Ireland is coming to Greenville this weekend.
The Return to the Green Irish festival, which showcases Irish food and culture, is 1-6 p.m. Sunday, March 15, at Fluor Field. The event is celebrating its 25th year.
It all started with an Irish runner. Marty Flynn, the founder of the event, moved to the Upstate in 1983 on a track scholarship to Clemson University. Originally from Longford, Ireland, Fly nn stayed in the Upstate and in 1996 began organizing the now-annual festival.
-Marty Flynn, festival founder
Flynn says he started Return to the Green “to share our Irish culture with the Upstate community in an authentic, entertaining and most welcoming cel ebration that honors the powerful bond that Ireland and America share.”
The festival is hosted by the Irish Cara Club of Greenville — “cara” being Irish Gaelic for “friend.”
The event will feature live perfor mances of Irish music and dance, as well as a children’s area and a chance to win $500. The City of Greenville Pipes and Drums band will also perform. Keltic Kudzu, an Irish music band from Geor gia, will headline the event.
Flynn held the first Return to the Green at the West End market, and it has moved around a bit since. It first moved to Falls Park, then to the Peace Center Amphitheater and now calls Flu or Field home.
“If you create an event that is cultural ly authentic like we’ve always done with Irish food, music and dance, I think people get a look at that and appreciate it,” Flynn says. THINGS TO SEE & DO | ARTS & CULTURE
While there used to be hardly any lo cal Irish dancers or musicians focusing on Irish music, times have changed, al lowing Flynn to feature local talent at the festival.
He hopes people who attend the fes tival enjoy themselves — and what Irish culture has to offer.
“I would like people who come to Re turn to the Green to walk away feeling like Ireland had paid a visit to Green ville,” Flynn says.
