The Stranger comes to taintradio

Posted by Bob Rogers on January 14, 2012 @ 12:11 am | 2 Comments

taintradio is pleased to present Donald Rubinstein’s new program, The Stranger, which begins Saturday, January 14th at 11pm (eastern) and repeats on Tuesday (1/17) at 6pm.  Donald is an artist/composer living in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  As of now we have two episodes; each runs a little under 20 very interesting minutes.

I have always loved radio and I’ve always loved freedom.  I am looking for a way to say something useful and strange - which burns the edges off of things and highlights the sound.  I hope you’ll stay with me as the show progresses, from the reaches of my mind, to the people that I know, to the crevices of shining light.

Maurice Hogue moves One man’s jazz to taintradio.org

Posted by Maurice Hogue on January 9, 2012 @ 12:11 am | Post a comment

taintradio.org is pleased to announce that veteran program producer/host Maurice Hogue (formerly at CKUW/Winnipeg),  will join taintradio’s alliance of independent producers.  One man’s jazz, a weekly three-hour program, will debut on taintradio at 9pm (eastern) on Thursday, January 19th.  The program will repeat Mondays 4-7am (eastern).  We are confident that Maurice Hogue and taintradio are a perfect match.

Hogue noted, “The show has moved after much consideration, given that I had been at CKUW since it began operations in 1999.  I hope to present the same great music, just a different platform.  taintradio started in 2008 as an outlet for independent producers and is fast developing a reputation for eclectic programming of all stripes and tastes…I will be posting playlists on taintradio’s website and on onemansjazz.ca, along with the other listener features long associated with One Man’s Jazz.”

taintradio provides 24/7 non-commercial, listener-supported music presentations from New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Maine, London, Seattle, St. Croix, Winnipeg, Warrenton (NC) and Raleigh.  JazzWeek subscribers named taintradio JazzWeek’s Internet Station of the Year, the first music stream awarded this recognition.  Several other new programs are in various stages of development.

Red June in Concert at Marsh Woodwinds

Posted by Bob Rogers on September 20, 2011 @ 11:48 pm | Post a comment

Red June, an excellent Asheville-based band (violin, mandolin, guitar, close harmony singing), will be featured in concert at Raleigh’s Marsh Woodwinds at 8pm on Friday, September 23rd.  Red June will feature music from their 2010 cd, Remember Me Well, as well as traditional Appalachian folk music and selections from their next cd(s).  We heard this band at the Marsh showcase several months ago and vowed that taintradio would be there to record the next concert so we can prepare a podcast of these great musicians for our listeners.  If you live in the greater taint town metropolitan area, we hope to see you there.

Kate McGarry live concert webcast a great success; Red June live at Marsh Woodwinds Friday, Sept. 23 (Equinox)

Posted by Bob Rogers on August 28, 2011 @ 3:01 pm | Post a comment

The Kate McGarry-Keith Ganz live concert at Marsh Woodwinds last night in Raleigh was a great success.  Stunningly great music, a packed house and a live stream on taintradio.  Another of those win-win situations we’re always seeking.  We will post a podcast of last night’s magic very soon.

We’re also pleased to announce the next taintradio-Marsh Woodwind concert:  Red June on Friday, September 23 (fall Equinox) at 8pm (Eastern).  We had the pleasure of hearing this great Asheville-based band several months ago at Marsh and decided then and there that the next time they played at Marsh, taintradio would be there.

As we enter our 4th year of operation, we’re looking forward to extending taintradio’s new tradition of presenting amazing music in a great (and packed) listening room.  We are able to do this solely because of our growing levels of listener support.  Through your financial support, we’ve been able to make a modest contribution to a Kickstarter music project we thought you’d appreciate (Mike DiRubbo & Larry Willis duo recording, Four Hands, One Heart), pay our music licensing fees, and create a series of live music presentations.  Thanks for stopping by the tip jar.  Its working!

Kate McGarry Keith Ganz Duo - Aug 27 8pm

Kate McGarry Keith Ganz Duo

Marsh Woodwinds August 27th, 8pm

The six years of collaboration between Palmetto Records Artist Kate McGarry and husband/guitarist Keith Ganz have produced four critically acclaimed recordings, a Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album, and live performances that crackle with spontaneity and joy. Join the “dynamic duo” for their performance at Marsh Woodwinds in Raleigh. You’ll hear a wide range of composers from Irving berlin to The Cars, with musical selections ranging from Celtic to Jazz, from Blues to Bossa Nova..    Taintradio.org will record the concert for possible future broadcast.

“This duo has figured out how to create jazz arrangements of songs by Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Stephen Stills and Ric Ocasek without compromising either the jazz or the rock’n'roll. The substitute chords, elasticized rhythms and deconstructionist solos make this satisfying jazz, while the lyrics are delivered with such forceful urgency that it’s still satisfying rock’n'roll. The songs are transformed but never obscured.” ~ Geoffrey Himes, Best CDs of 2008

With 4 critically acclaimed CDs and a 2009 Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Vocal to her credit, Kate McGarry is recognized as a jazz artist who brings authenticity and vitality to an extraordinarily wide range of material. The Wall St Journal calls her music “Austere and elegant”, New York Times pronounced her ” Astute and sensitive”. Growing up in a large Irish Catholic family in Hyannis, Massachusetts, Kate and her nine siblings were surrounded by diverse musical influences: Celtic folk songs, Mills Brothers, the Beatles, 70s funk and pop.  From singing in family talent shows to hearing her first recordings of Bill Evans, Ella Fitzgerald and later Keith Jarrett, Kate’s ear for song opened to a wide universe of music.  After studying African American music and Jazz with Dr. Horace Boyer and Archie Shepp at the University of Massachusetts, she honed her craft in Los Angeles for 8 years before ultimately relocating to New York.

Her music collaborations include projects with Jazz luminaries including Fred Hersch, Kurt Elling, Maria Schneider, and John Hollenbeck. She currently performs in many of venerated jazz clubs and festivals throughout the US and abroad, and as an educator has served on the faculty of Manhattan School of Music. Kate has represented the U.S. State Department  and Jazz at Lincoln Center as a jazz ambassador for 3 years running in the American Music Abroad program and will travel with her band to South Africa for the month of December.  McGarry has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered, Marion McPartland’s Piano Jazz, and Jazz Set with Dee Dee Bridgewater. She is currently recording her 5th CD, Girl Talk, for Palmetto Records which will be released in early 2012.

Keith Ganz is a guitarist, composer, arranger, and producer. In addition to his Grammy-nominated collaborations with Kate McGarry, he has been the guitarist of choice for Harry Connick Jr., Kurt Elling, Luciana Souza, Peter Eldridge and many more acclaimed vocalists. He has also performed and/or recorded with a host of jazz legends including Christian McBride, Fred Hersch, Victor Lewis, Chris Potter, Andy Bey, Billy Drummond, Jay Anderson, and many others. He has performed on Late Night with David Letterman, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Ellen, The View and Australian Idol, and toured in four continents.

New Mike DiRubbo & Larry Willis CD Released With Help From taintradio Listeners

Posted by Bob Rogers on August 2, 2011 @ 9:39 pm | Post a comment

Four Hands, One Heart, a new cd from saxophonist Mike DiRubbo & pianist Larry Willis has just been released on Ksani Records. As mentioned in an earlier post, this cd was fan-funded through the funding platform, Kickstarter and is the first such project in which the taintradio listener support fund participated.  The music is great and we’re proud to have made a modest financial contribution in your name toward its creation.  Our contribution to this project was made possible only because of the generosity of our listeners, without whose support taintradio itself is impossible.  So thanks - we needed that!  Enjoy the music.
