Looking ahead. Changes are swirling around much like the winds here in Brooklyn. A sense of uncertainty is in the air and only time will tell all. Let the music be a companion against the cold and unknown.

Sundays are for... [Dec/20]

Intro: Moon Juice

John Nitzinger, a Texas legend, has been a worldwide force behind rock and roll since the ‘70’s.  His song writing style is unique and diversified.  He is known for his contribution to the development of the signature sound of “Texas Rock and Blues”. 
 
Proof of his Texas legendary status, Nitzinger was one of the first four artists to be inducted into Buddy Magazine’s Texas Tornado’s Hall of Fame in 1978, “as a Texas Tornado of Guitar, one of the best musicians in Texas, perhaps in the world.”

During the ‘70’s, John wrote half of five albums with the rock band, Bloodrock.  He was awarded a Gold Album from Capitol Records for “Bloodrock 2” and was soon signed to Capitol on a solo venture.  Two classics were released; the self titled “Nitzinger” and “Nitzinger One Fot In History”.   The hit single “Louisiana Cockfight” is considered to be a classic.

John took to touring his solo albums and shared the stage with legendary artists such as, Leon Russell, BB King, Sly & The Family Stone and Freddie King.  Moving on internationally, he performed at the Mar Y Sol International Pop Festival in Puerto Rico with world renowned artists such as The Allman Brothers Band, Alice Cooper, BB King, The J. Geils Band, The Mahavishnu Orchestra with John McLaughlin, Emerson Lake & Palmer, among others.  John’s classic, “Jelly Roll Blues” stole the show and became an instant hit for Atlantic Records.

in 1976, John signed with 20th Century Fox and music mogul, Russ Regan to produce Nitzinger’s album, “Live Better Electrically”.  This album reached the charts with two hit singles, “Are You With Me” and “Yellow Dog”.

In 1980, Carl Palmer broke away from Emerson Lake and Palmer to form a new group, 1PM, which included John as a major song writer and guitarist.  They signed to Areola Europe Records and released the single “Dynamite”, increasing John’s popularity in the overseas market.

In 1982, John joined forces with Alice Cooper on the “Special Forces” international and USA tours as guitarist.  After touring, John wrote, with Alice Cooper, the album “Zipper Catches Skin”.  The album was released on Warner Bros. Records featuring John’s “I Like Girls”, a great success in Europe and Asia.

With his return from the road, John released an album on the label of Record Heaven, “Going Back To Texas”. This album contains thirteen of his classic songs such as, “Louisiana Cockfight”, “Jelly Roll Blues”, “Yellow Dog”, “L.A. Texas Boy”, and “Control”.

In 2007, he finally released his long awaited “Kiss Of The Mudman” CD, a testament to his trials and tribulations and has been said to be some his best work.

John hit the road again for a brief European tour performing at the Tenth Annual Sweden Rock Festival as well as appearing on European televison, radio and at exclusive club dates.  He was invited again to perform at the 2010 Annual Sweden Rock Festival in Europe and performed a solo act at the Festival's very first acustic tent.  Multitudes of fans reinforced his popularity in Europe.  Due to popular demand, another European tour is in the near future.

In 2008, John was awarded Fort Worth Weekly’s Hall Of Fame music award. 

Giving back has become an essential part of Johnny’s life through teaching.  While going through all of his experiences and working on his album, John began Nitzinger’s Music Factory teaching children and adults to play instruments, sing and write their own original songs.  Nitzinger’s Rock Camp is held various times during the year.  Originality, spirituality and staying clean and sober are clear messages that he stresses to his students.

About the piece:
Mmmm-te is result of Collaboration between Amirali Ghasemi & Mohamad Golabi, where Amirali recites one of his poems and Mohammad has arranged and designed an audio environment in which the spoken words can be sensed in an ambiguous yet familiar way.
The experimental poem juxtaposed various vocabulary from a wide range of disciplines and this is what is happening with the Mohamad’s layered soundscape. 


درباره‌ی اثر:
مممم - تِ حاصل همکاری امیرعلی قاسمی و محمد گلابی است، جایی که دکلمه‌ی امیرعلی از شعر خودش با تنظیمات و طراحی های محمد در هم می‌آمیزد تا کلمات ادا شده در بستری مبهم و در عین حال آشنا کنار هم چیده شوند. شعر تجربی که دستمایه‌ی این اثر شده واژگانی از عرصه‌های مختلف را بر هم می‌نشاند چنانچه منظره‌ی صوتی لایه‌لایه‌ای که محمد گلابی ترسیم می‌کند، این واقعه قابل ردیابی است.

New project by ex-Tangerine Dream member Johannes Schmoelling and sound design luminary Kurt Ader!
With their second album "Hydragate" S.A.W. manage to deliver a mixture of ambient, electronica and cinematic sound collages. On the 10-track album the four musicians are crossing different emotional energies from epic power to lightness.
On "Surface illusions" and "Hydragate" you can hear composed melody lines as you already knew them from Johannes Schmoelling from his time with German electronic-rock legends Tangerine Dream. In "Whispering colours" you can feel and hear the dexterity to program sequences that can take you into a separate trance-like world as well. On "Sphere" one discovers a filigree sound design - no wonder, because band member Kurt Ader is not only a composer, but also a sound designer for various leading synthesizer manufacturers and programs sounds for well-known bands and artists such as Nightwish, Dream Theater or Michael Cretu. "Inside Out" impresses with the use of alienated ethnic sounds and on "Master of time" the lsitener can hear reminiscences of the electronic music of the 1970-ies as they meet the dark ambient sound of the present time.
Also very rhythmic tracks are not missing on the new S.A.W. album, as can be heard for example on "Distant Memories" and "Stop And Go". The album "Hydragate" was developed and recorded in various studios in Munich, Berlin, Mannheim and Hitzacker, using various samples, analog drum machines, modular and digital synthesizers.

PREMIERE | S.A.W. - Stop And Go [MIG music] 2023

Founded by Frank Bornemann at the end of the 1960s, ELOY has released a total of 20 studio albums. Their breakthrough came in the mid-seventies, mostly with spectacular concept albums, which sold more and more worldwide. The breakthrough for ELOY came in the mid-seventies, mostly with spectacular concept albums that were sold worldwide, increasingly. This was not only rewarded with numerous high chart positions in Germany, honored with many awards but also brought Eloy a lot of international attention and a considerable fan base, which still exists and is constantly growing.

When a fan club recently came up with the idea of bundling their own favorites from the band's extensive repertoire and producing their own compilations, we had the idea of offering this officially and releasing ELOY’s highlights from different eras of the band's history on CD. We had Frank Bornemann and sound engineer Benjamin Schäfer edit the sound in such a way that they fit together perfectly and offer the listener a very individual listening experience. This is how "Hidden Treasures" came into being, offering ELOY fans a sound and song combination that has never been heard before.

Powerful. Timeless. Magical.
There are only a few German rock bands that deserve the title legendary, and EPITAPH is one of them.

After TV appearances on the top German musicshows Beat Club and Rockpalast,  EPITAPH was soon a household name. Tours with Joe Cocker, RoryGallagher, Golden Earring and ZZ-Top, and numerous festival appearances made EPITAPH one of the most popular German cult rock bands.Over the last 50 years, the band has released 16 studio and live albums. And if you add the digital re-releases, that’s a total of 21 albums.

Diary Theme

Als die Rock-Musik auf dem europäischen Kontinent laufen lernte, waren Autor Beat Hirt und Musiker Tommy Fortmann vorne dabei. Hirt als Ideengeber und Mitbegründer der Jugendzeitschrift „Pop“ (später „Pop/Rocky“) während Fortmann der Zeit mit seiner Kult-Band Demon Thor musikalisch vorauseilte. Den beiden Schweizern gelang es, für ihr ambitioniertes Musical-Projekt „Tell“ Alexis Korner zu begeistern. Er war das Urgestein des englischen Rhythm’n’Blues. Auch Udo Lindenberg signalisierte „alles klar!“ und stieg an Bord. Die Aufnahme-Sessions fanden im Frühjahr 1977 statt. Weitere Gesangsparts übernahmen u.a. die Sängerin Jack Carter, Romy Haag sowie Schlagerstar und Teenie-Idol Jürgen Drews.

Auch die mitwirkenden Sessionmusiker kamen aus der ersten Reihe deutsch/schweizerischer Rockprovenienz: Armand Volker (später Produzent und Arrangeur von der Münchener Freiheit, Spider Murphy Gang, Johnny Logan, Nena u.v.a.) spielte Gitarre und Bass, ebenso Frank Diez (Atlantis, Peter Maffay, Eric Burden u.a.). Zusätzliche Gitarrenoverdubs kamen von Uli Jon Roth (Scorpions), am Schlagzeug saß der begnadete Curt Cress (Klaus Doldingers Passport, Atlantis, Snowball), die Keyboards steuerten Philippe Kienholz von der Schweizer Classic-Rock Band Tea sowie Kristian Schultze (Klaus Doldingers Passport, Niagara, Snowball) bei.

„Tell!“ gab es seinerzeit nicht nur auf Vinyl, sondern war auch ein Bühnen-Projekt. Finanziert wurde die Produktion durch die „Tell Musical AG“, die eigens dafür gegründet wurde. Zu deren Aktionären gehörten u.a. Freddy Burger, Jürg Marquard und Udo Jürgens. Die „Tell!“-Uraufführung fand am 31. Juli 1977 in Zürich statt. Der Schweizer Presse war das Vorhaben jedoch nicht geheuer. Sie verriss fast kollektiv die Bühnenversion. In der deutschen Presse beurteilten die Kritiker das Musical etwas anders: „Wilhelm Tell, der in Jeans auftritt, es mit der schönen Stauffacherin treibt und mit den Eidgenossen auf dem Rütli Krach kriegt, ist als herrlicher Ulk angekommen.“ (Hamburger Abendblatt, 3.8.1977) „Die salopp-schnodderige Tell-Entstaubung will eine Attacke auf den historisch-heroischen Tiefgang sein.“ (Münchner Merkur, 4.8.1977) „Fortmanns Musik, zwischen Neil Diamond und Zarathustra, Soul-Elementen und Rock-Rhythmen, ist intelligent komponiert und anspruchsvoll. Sie kommt an.“ (Die Welt, 3.8.1977) „Die Choreografie riss das Publikum förmlich von den Stühlen. Der Discotheken-Sound fetzte durch den Holzbau.“ (Kieler Nachrichten, 6.8.1977)
Wie oft jedoch das Musical aufgeführt wurde, ist nicht mehr nachvollziehbar.

Das Musical „Tell!“ nach Friedrich von Schillers gleichnamigen Drama über den Schweizer Nationalhelden ist ein Stück Zeitgeschichte und eine musikalische  Zeitreise zurück in die 1970-er Jahre zugleich, von durchaus hohem Unterhaltungs- und Erinnerungswert, irgendwo zwischen Rock,  Schlager und dem Munich Disco Sound.
