Ryland Peter (Ry) Cooder (Los Angeles, 15 maart 1947) is een Amerikaans gitarist en producer. Aanvakelijk werkte hij als slide gitarist. Cooder heeft veel gewerkt als studiomuzikant waarbij hij aan vele film-soundtracks heeft meegewerkt. Cooder verzorgde onder andere de filmmuziek voor Paris, Texas (1984) van Wim Wenders.

In 1978 kwam het album Jazz uit ,waarop Ry terug ging naar de Jazzmuziek uit de jaren 20 en 30.Ter gelegenheid hiervan werden er een paar concerten gegeven met veel van de muzikanten die aan dit album meewerkten onder leiding van de co-producer van het album Joseph Byrd.
Dit concert is opgenomen 16 November 1978 in Chicago,Illinois

Shadrack In A Mist Flashes[instrumental]

Ry about this songs...
Bix Biederbecke,of Davenport.lowa,learned cornet from some of the earliest jazz records amd firsthand from the jazz players to come north from New orleans.
By the time of his death in 1931 at 29,he was a legend among his fellow musisians for his beautiful cornet music.But he was also interested in concert piano and particularly in the impressionistic style that Gershwin later became associated with,,Davenport Blues,, ,,Flashes,, and ,,In a Mist,, are representet here in a salon/jazz context that brings uot the atmosphere of Bix strange music.


Gospel vocal quartet:
Bill Johnson
Jimmy Adams
Clifford Givens
Simon "Pico" Payne


Nobody (Bert Williams)

Ry about Bert Williams..
The great Bert Williams was the first black artist to reach crossover stardom in Vaudeville.He would appear on stage in a broken-down tuxedo and black face(as if to mark the passing of Coon songs and minstrelsey)and recite his sardonic double-edged monologues.He got star billing with Ziegfield,icredible for the times,and his Colombia records like ,,Nobody,, and ,,Samuel the Night Porter,,were big sellers.

The Association (repost)


The Association is een Amerikaanse popgroep uit Los Angeles. Ze waren eind jaren zestig populair. Hun bekendste nummers zijn Along comes Mary, Cherish, Windy en Never my love.


Along Comes Mary (Montery ,67)

In het voorjaar van 1965 richtten de verkoper Terry Kirkman en de marinier Gary "Jules" Alexander in Los Angeles de 13-koppige formatie The Men op, nadat ze elkaar hadden leren kennen in Honolulu. Er ontstond echter al gauw ruzie tijdens een repetitie en zeven leden besloten de groep te verlaten. De zes overige leden wilden echter wel doorgaan als groep. Aanvankelijk wilden ze zich The Aristocrats noemen, maar toen Terry's vrouw Judy de betekenis van dat woord wilde opzoeken, vond ze op dezelfde pagina in het woordenboek het woord Association. Uiteindelijk werd dat de nieuwe bandnaam. Naast Terry en Jules bestond The Association uit Ted Bluechel, Brian Cole, Russ Giguere en Bob Page. Bob werd echter al gauw vervangen door Jim Yester.


Windy

In 1967 verlaat Gary "Jules" Alexander de groep om in India meditatiefilosofie te gaan studeren. Hij wordt vervangen door de Hawaïaan Larry Ramos, die uit The New City Minstrels kwam . Het succes ging echter onverminderd door. De single Windy staat in april van dat jaar 4 weken op #1 en ook het album Insight out verkoopt goed. De tweede single van dat album Never my love wordt een #2-hit. Daarna gaat het wat achteruit met het succes van de groep. Alleen de single Everything that touches you weet in 1968 nog in de Top 10 te komen. In 1969 komt Jules terug bij The Association en wordt de titelsong voor de film Goodbye Columbus opgenomen, maar dat nummer komt niet hoger van #80 in de Billboard Hot 100. In 1970 gaat Russ Giguere solo en wordt hij vervangen door Richard Thompson.


Cherish

De groep brak in 1966 door met de single Along comes Mary. Dat nummer werd door verschillende radiostations geweigerd, omdat door sommigen werd aangenomen dat Mary op de drug marihuana sloeg. In Nederland was dit de enige hit voor The Association; het haalde de 34e plaats in de Nederlandse Top 40. In hun eigen land kwam het tot #7. De opvolger Cherish werd zelfs een Amerikaanse #1-hit. Beide nummers waren afkomstig van het album And then... along comes the Association.
Never My Love

In 1973 gaat de groep uit elkaar nadat op 2 augustus 1972 basgitarist Brian Cole overleed aan een overdosis drugs. Drummer Ted Bluechel was de enige die muziek bleef maken. Hij bleef met een stel andere muzikanten, waaronderhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif Ric Ulskey, onder de naam The Association optreden. In het begin waren Jim Yester en Larry Ramos daar nog bij, maar ook die haakten na verloop van tijd af. In 1980 was er een reünie van de band en werden er twee singles opgenomen. Eén daarvan, Dreamer, kwam tot #66 in de Amerikaanse hitlijsten. Vanaf 1983 viel de groep echter weer langzaam uit elkaar, doordat de leden er één voor één mee ophielden. Russ Giguere en Larry Ramos bleven uiteindelijk als enige leden over en vormden rond 1989 een nieuwe groep met Del Ramos (de jongere broer van Larry), Paul Holland, Donni Gougeon en Bruce Pictor.




The Association treedt nog steeds op. Momenteel bestaat de groep uit Larry en Del Ramos, Russ Giguere, Jordan Cole (de zoon van Brian Cole)http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif en Bob Werner.

Buddy Guy - Mustang Sally/Sweet Little Angel/Feels Like Rain .

    Recorded Live: 8/14/1994 - Newport Jazz Festival (Newport, RI)

Mooie medley van Buddy Guy en zijn band.Jammer dat de cameraman alleen oog heeft voor Buddy en vergeet de voor mij onbekende tweede gitarist tijdens zijn mooi solo in beeld te brengen.Desondanks uitstekend optreden van de altijd spontane Buddy. Deze zomer zag ik Buddy optreden op het mooie Holland International Bluesfestival,23 jaar ouder en nog steeds even enthousiast.Ook dat was een mooi en indrukwekkend optreden.

Van Morrison - Orangefield High School,Belfast East Side Arts Festival 22/23 August 2014


Van Morrison accompanied by his band performs  at Orangefield High School, Belfast as part of the East Side Arts Festival 22/23 August 2014


Celtic Swing  filmed by TheSweetthing2011


The last time Morrison trod the boards of Orangefield High, he would have been ‘Van the Boy', but he returned every inch the conquering hero.
After the customary Celtic Swing intro had set the mood, the first words out of the singer's mouth were the opening lines of Got To Go Back.
 (Belfast Telegraph – By Andrew Johnston – 23 August 2014)

Orangefield/Brown Eyed Girl . filmed by  Age Jager


 “When I was a young boy back in Orangefield,” crooned the portly figure in black, “I used to look out my classroom window and dream.”
Morrison's dreams have certainly come true, and if his choice of setlist is to be taken at face value, he wouldn't change a thing.
(Belfast Telegraph – By Andrew Johnston – 23 August 2014)



Enlightenment.filmed by TheSweetthing2011


 “If I had to do it all over, I'd do the same thing again,” he sang on third song Only A Dream.
As for his erstwhile classmates and teachers, several hundred of them had crammed into the school's assembly hall
.(Belfast Telegraph – By Andrew Johnston – 23 August 2014)



Wonderful Remark. filmed by TheSweetthing2011

  The school’s closure is a shame on many levels, not least because the acoustics in the hall were better than those in many purpose-built music venues.
Every note Morrison and the band played was crystal clear, and the main man's vocals have rarely sounded better.
(Belfast Telegraph – By Andrew Johnston – 23 August 2014)


Whenever God Shine His Light.filmed by TheSweetthing2011



  Needless to say, he was hardly Mr Chatty, but he did seem in good form, whether announcing a “comedy section” (“Billy Connolly said I was very, very, very, very funny”) or delivering an impromptu Clint Eastwood impression during Rough God Goes Riding.
(Belfast Telegraph – By Andrew Johnston – 23 August 2014)


Into The Mystic.filmed by TheSweetthing2011


 Elsewhere, Morrison delighted with a string of hits including Moondance, Whenever God Shines His Light, Days Like This and Brown Eyed Girl.
The highlight of the evening was arguably the 1999 track Precious Time.
(Belfast Telegraph – By Andrew Johnston – 23 August 2014)


Rough God Goes Riding. filmed by megholm73


 The sentiment of the lyrics (“It doesn't matter to which God you pray/Precious time is slipping away”) took on a deeper resonance given the occasion.

Now in his late sixties, it's clear Morrison has fallen in love with his home country all over again. The star has played everywhere from the Harp Bar to Dunluce Castle over the past few years.. But for sheer nostalgia and cultural significance, nothing is likely to top last night's school reunion at Orangefield.
(Belfast Telegraph – By Andrew Johnston – 23 August 2014)

“Orangefield High School played a significant role in east Belfast and at EastSide Arts we believe that this should be celebrated and, importantly, preserved,” said Mr Kinkaid.

Bob Dylan - Señor (Tales Of Yankee Power) door  morrisanddylan


  Señor, señor, do you know where we’re headin’?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
Seems like I been down this way before
Is there any truth in that, señor?

Señor, señor, do you know where she is hidin’?
How long are we gonna be ridin’?
How long must I keep my eyes glued to the door?
Will there be any comfort there, señor?

There’s a wicked wind still blowin’ on that upper deck
There’s an iron cross still hangin' down from around her neck
There’s a marchin’ band still playin’ in that vacant lot
Where she held me in her arms one time and said, “Forget me not”

Señor, señor, I can see that painted wagon
I can smell the tail of the dragon
Can’t stand the suspense anymore
Can you tell me who to contact here, señor?

Well, the last thing I remember before I stripped and kneeled
Was that trainload of fools bogged down in a magnetic field
A gypsy with a broken flag and a flashing ring
Said, “Son, this ain’t a dream no more, it’s the real thing”

Señor, señor, you know their hearts is as hard as leather
Well, give me a minute, let me get it together
I just gotta pick myself up off the floor
I’m ready when you are, señor

Señor, señor, let’s disconnect these cables
Overturn these tables
This place don’t make sense to me no more
Can you tell me what we’re waiting for, señor?

Bob Dylan - If Not For You


"If Not for You" is a song by Bob Dylan, recorded for his 1970 album New Morning. Dylan recorded the album version in August 1970, having first recorded the song in a session with George Harrison on May 1 of that year. In addition to appearing on the album in October 1970, the August recording was released as a single in Europe; the May recording remained unreleased until its inclusion on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) in 1991.

In November 1970, a month after Dylan's original had appeared, George Harrison released a version of the song on his triple album All Things Must Pass. Another well-known cover of the song was recorded by Olivia Newton-John, who had the only U.S. charting version of the song in 1971.
