Vagabond Tramp
Unkle Nancy is a prolific, almost manic songwriter, and this is his third full-length project in less that two years. His vaudeville- and ragtime-style compositions tell stories of interesting characters and their foibles, including some semi-autobiographical tales. Use and distribution of this article is subject to our Publisher Guidelines whereby the original author's information and copyright must be included. Album: Unkle Nancy - Vagabond Tramp by Bradley Wilson in Entertainment / Music (submitted 2009-12-10) OREGON MUSIC NEWS December 8, 2009 by Bradley Wilson Somewhere in the landscape inhabited by Tom Waits, Unkle Nancy and the Family Jewels hopped a train for nowhere in particular. Their album Vagabond Tramp begins as a tentative foray into familiar territory before wending it's way to a personality all it's own in just 11 tracks. The instruments include a washboard, flute, cello, kazoo, and a ratchet. Lyrics such as 'I like to wakeup hungover, wake up in hell / Each day the difference, gets harder to tell' at first induce the listener to assume this work is paean to dissipation, and it is partly that. The album starts out like a cold shower in the morning. Subjects include 'Bobby Bumbleton' who murdered his parents, and a tramp who goes home with a woman ('Mr. James') telling her husband in the morning: 'If you could just hand me the pants that you're standin' on / I bid good-day to you and your wife.' Nancy affects a Waitsian growl for the first four songs. 'Baby Blue' is when the mood changes from cynical to playful, though at no time does it lose a sly, sardonic edge. After the denouement of 'Cowz Come Home,' in which human voices and instruments whimsically approximate the sounds of barnyard animals, and the bounding energy of 'Top of the Hill': 'I'm goin', goin', goin' to the top of the hill,' we have grounds to expect toe-tapping happiness for the rest of the album. Fortunately, Unkle Nancy and company ascribe to an approach predicated on presenting listeners with the unexpected. The next track, 'Mighty King' is a direct confrontation of the Bush administration, briefly alluding to the twin towers, with the mournful chorus, 'Down, down, they all went down / Now the new war's begun.' A hollow wail, first vocal, then instrumental, resets our expectations from whimsical to rueful. Bradley Wilson is a contributor to OREGON MUSIC NEWS.- Shop: odax

Meditations
What IS a Zendo Tavern?', everyone asks. The lyrics came first, imagining monks, AWOL from DBZ monastery, going into town to hit the local zen tavern for beer and some shots - or tea, if it really was the Zendo Tavern. On the website, zendotavern.com, & on the back of the CD is a stage set - an idea of the Zendo Tavern - sparsely furnished, cushions on scrubbed wood floor at low tables. Dimly outlined in the shadows above the patron, who has thrown his happi coat over the rice paper screen, is a painting: a nude reclines odalisk-like she holds a book of Rousseau, a feather quill pen, an Opossum lurks on the back of the couch... a variation on the paintings in all the bars in movie saloons of the old west. The patron could be Asian or Western - alone, meditating, deep in his cups of tea, or vodka - or sake. A different kind of zazen. As the CD developed, we looked for a name for such a mixed band of musicians playing such a mixed bag of songs. A zendo is a refuge from the every day world - a place to confront one's self through zazen, meditation, alone or with others on a similar quest. And in a western sense, pubs or taverns are also places we go to find refuge - to meditate, to confront ourselves and others also searching, asking questions. Zendo Tavern, is a meeting of East and West both in the diversity of musicians, the music, and in the idea of all creatures seeking a refuge - the songs are meditations in the sense of thinking about 'just what the hell are we doing here on this planet'? Someone said, 'Ah, the zendo is the high road, and the tavern is the low road.' But this is not so - they are both ways to a path. Playing music with yiming, Jan and Phil was a refuge filled with gratitude and pleasure. Biff cuthbert Jan kalinowski, lead guitar - comes from Gniezno, Poland and was a founding member of the 'Prowizorka Jazz Band'. Prowizorka has won awards all over Europe, notably the Golden Washboard many times in Warsaw, and first place at the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, the band has recorded many CDs of early Dixieland Jazz, as well as many jazz standards, Yiming Gao, violin- Fortunately for Zendo Tavern she can't find enough outlets for her talents. She has played violin for twenty five of her twenty eight years, graduated with degrees in pre-med & German at Johns Hopkins, plus violin at Peabody Conservatory. While obtaining her masters in violin at yale, she held a chair in the New Haven Symphony, and played with Orchestra New England, and organized several Chamber groups. Her classical form was first corrupted by playing and recording fiddle tunes from Prince Edward Island. She has just finished four years of medical studies and is now beginning her residency work, but she still plays in chamber groups and with Zendo Tavern. Phil Rosenthal, mandolin - is known for his children's series of folk music CDs, CDs of his own compositions of music and lyrics, and some twenty years as singer/song writer with the Seldom Scene bluegrass band and Bluegrass Union and the many CDs the bands produced. Phil's American Melody Studio being ten minutes away, and Phil being an accomplished musician and engineer all factored into making this CD possible in a very restricted time frame of eight weeks. Biff Cuthbert, guitar/vocals - ended his classical piano career at age fifteen and played ukelele for a year in Europe, mostly in Italy. His father took him to Wolf's in New York, age sixteen, and bought him a Drake guitar, in 1971 shortly after college, he bought a Gallagher D-70. He counts Irving Berlin,Fats Waller,Tin Pan Alley, Roberto Murolo,Victoria Spivey, Lonnie Johnson & Lucille Bogan, Mississippi John Hurt, Scott Joplin,Dave Van Ronk, Paul Siebel,Doc Watson, Leo Kottke, Lyle Lovett, Mickey MacConnell as influences. This CD is a resolution of forty years of musical narrative.- Shop: odax

Gruntled: The BestWorstBest Again Album
Ready for a change of pace? Tired of bands that take themselves too seriously? Wish that you had an album with more cowbell and washboard tracks? If you said yes to any of the above, Gruntled is the band for you. They are the pioneers of the newest rock movement, as well as inventors of the word fundalize. They are progressive yet classic, awesome yet dorky, humble yet self promoting. In short they are the first best band to come out of the fourth largest state. If I had to use one word to describe them it would be acquiescence. I don't know what that word means, but it sure sounds cool. Not as cool as Gruntled, but still pretty cool.- Shop: odax

Meet Fat Meat
Atsushi (vocal and banjo) was just a rock kid playing punk rock and psychobilly. But in the winter of 1999, when he decided to lauch a new group with Yokoyama (washboard), his musical interest had already altered by Louis Armstrong and Fats Waller. The duet kept performing actively with different musicians on the streets in Tokyo until the year of 2005 when they finally settled down to the presence group. By that time, they had already released their first album in 2000 and second in 2003, and were about to make their third one. As they've created their albums with new different concepts every time, the CD sale has been breaking the record in one of the most popular retailers in Japan 'Village Vanguard'. In the summer of 2007, they performed at Fuji Rock Festival, the biggest rock music event in Japan. But they still love their style of playing on the streets, in front of the stations, making people at all ages happy.- Shop: odax

Magnolia Buckskin
Five women songwriters in one band with big harmonies! Magnolia Buckskin bring you bohemian cowgirl, gospel touched folk roots music with sweet harmonies that will elevate your soul into the rafters of the nearest saloon! Kathy Cook, Natasha Platt, Emily Triggs, Corry Ulan and Marti Smith all takes turns singing the lead on their original tunes. They juggle between instruments: mandolin, banjo, guitar, accordion, piano, bass and washboard. The sound is a collection of their influences: a little bit of country and a hint of West Virginia drawl, the bluegrass sweet spot, the folk connection, a heart for gospel, a knuckle of rhythm and blues and a thimble full of pop. Hailed as one of Calgary's 'leading roots country acts', Magnolia Buckskin will showcase original songwriting from their new Magnolia Buckskin CD. ?They say she can bend mandolin strings quicker than the Sundance Kid can pull his gun. Calgary music aficionado, Kathy Cook, is a multi instrumentalist (mandolin, guitar, bass, hand drums). Her sultry voice and songwriting abilities have won her praise as a mainstay on the scene who has nowhere to go but onwards on the dusty road of musical mayhem. Inspired by her love of Celtic, folk, roots and country music, Kathy has performed and recorded with a variety of musical artists and groups over the years, including the James Keelaghan Trio, Jenny Allen, Ruth Purves-Smith, Tim Williams, Ron Cassat, Ralph Boyd Johnson, Rose Hip, and Wilf Carter to name a few. ?? Natasha Platt has busked Europe's cobblestone streets and collected instruments from Germany to India. This multi-instrumentalist can play just about anything she takes a fancy to, including accordion, banjo and piano. She's been writing songs and performing for many years as a soloist and with several local bands including Bufflehead and The Collective, and is currently burning up local Calgary haunts with the Bitumont Players. She's known for her powerful vocals, unforgettable melodies and her ability to engage an audience. ??Emily Triggs was forced to perform at family gatherings and parties since she was small enough to fit inside a guitar case. This bilingual beauty honed her natural talent in Hemmingford, Quebec, before heading out west to cut her teeth in Cowtown. She's broken many guitar strings in Calgary bars over the last ten years, as the sweet side of the House Doctors, performing solo gigs or as one of the seraphs in the Fallen Angel Band. Her honest, authentic vocals win fans everywhere she sings her alt country music. With a bachelor's degree in music from Laurier University, Corry Ulan has an amazing ear for creating vocal and instrumental arrangements. She makes playing a variety of instruments look easy: banjo, guitar, drums and clarinet and bass. She's played with bands such as Nothing But Trouble, Slow Talking Walter, Ink, New Street and the Nancy Laberge Band. As a songwriter, Corry's style is diverse and humorous, spanning the roots genre. ??For Marti Smith singing harmony is better than going to church. Pound for pound, this little filly's voice packs a punch. It cuts through the dust like lemon juice, or a bullet ricocheting around a coulee. She was one of three in the Fallen Angel Band, and backed up the Platts in Bufflehead as well as other local musicians on the trail of the lonesome pine. She's recorded in the studio with Ralph Boyd-Johnson, Joe Fournier and Deep Field South.- Shop: odax

Passport to Paradise
The region of Auvergne in Central France is best known for it's volcanoes, it's delicious cheese and it's miserable wine. Puy de Dôme, Saint Nectaire and headaches in the morning are traditional features of the region. Another notable landmark, Sac à Pulses, a New Orleans style jazz band from Clermont-Ferrand, the capital of Auvergne, has been praised as one of France's finest jazz bands. Sac à Pulses serves up jazz instrumentals and vocals in a cocktail of styles: 2- & 4-beat swing, Charleston, beguine, blues, boogie-woogie, Cajun and modern New Orleans parade rhythms are all on their rhythmic buffet. Dancers and concert goers, seasoned jazz fans and casual listeners, the young and the not-so-young are all equally satisfied. Although Sac à Pulses' instrumentation somewhat mimics the late Sidney Bechet's Parisian bands, their influences don't stop there. Sac à Pulses has plucked tunes from the legendary repertoires of Fats Waller, Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, Bix Beiderbecke, Duke Ellington, and the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, among many others. Furthermore, Sac à Pulses has written French lyrics to many of the classic jazz standards, consequently presenting a new twist to familiar melodies. Sac à Pulses also plays popular French songs by the likes of George Brassens, Jacques Brel and Edith Piaf. Studying the recordings from the classic jazz era and more contemporary flavors of jazz shape the sound of Sac à Pulses. Still, academics never interfere with the spontaneity nor the creativity of the group. Each musician freely expresses his own personality. The Musicians Christian Vaudecranne - Soprano Saxophone and Vocals, Pierre Guicquéro - Trombone and Vocals, Marc Verne - Washboard and Drums, Gary Kiser - Tuba and Vocals, Pierre 'Jules' Verne - Alto guitar. The name Sac à Pulses literally means sack of pulses or rhythm bag. This is a play on words in French. The French use the same expression for an old dog as in English, flea bag or sac à puce. Considering the words pulses and puce are pronounced similarly, the name Sac à Pulses on our bass drum solicits many smiles from our French audiences. Sac à Pulses is equally comfortable playing acoustically or with amplification and has ample experience with all types of affairs: dance halls, concerts halls, theatres, jazz festivals, jazz clubs, restaurants, bars, hotels, embassies, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, parades, carnivals, fairs, etc. Sac à Pulses' recordings: Passport to Paradise (2001), C'est Pas Ma Faute (1999), Les Pulses (1995), Them There Eyes (1993)- Shop: odax
