I had the privilege of being invited to the unveiling of the 2008-2009 season at the Overture Center for the Arts today and was treated to time spent appreciating the arts and talking about multicultural diversity. While the upcoming season is going to once again fulfill the sense of diversity, it is clear that the Overture plans on making sure they are in the front of the line when it comes to being an entry point to appreciating, teaching and recognizing the importance of other cultures as it mingles within Madison. The “O.C” is the biggest on-going classroom around, acting as a front porch for kids, parents….everyone to find out something they might not otherwise have found. Speaking of the new season…early highlights for me are: KODO, the Neville Brothers and Dr. John, Porter/Batiste/Stoltz, the Song & Dance Ensemble of West Africa, Afro-Cuban All Stars, The Assad Brothers, Cab Calloway Orchestra, Avenue Q, Cirque Eloize, Stomp, The Spencers Theatre of Illusion…..you get the point! I want to thank Abi and all the fine folks of the Overture Center for the Arts, for the invitation, the acknowledgment and for understanding the importance of keeping the Arts as the Center of potential new ideas.

Madison’s Home of the Arts

If you get the fever for tha flava of some serious beats…I will always send you toward Om Records, the put out some serious sounds that’ll make your face dance and your sweat shake. These latest 2 are no exception to that rule.

The sixth installment of the ‘Sounds of Om’ series previews the freshest new music signed to the cutting edge label with exclusive tracks and sought after remixes. Volume Six takes a ride through a slick selection of future house music with a wonky main course, with a side of techy beats & groovy dessert to finish things off with style.

Kicking off the 2008 edition of Miami is none other than Billboard #1 Remixer Eric Kupper’s (Hed Kandi) with his remix of Samantha James’, most downloaded Om track on iTunes, “Breathe You In”. Bound to be one of this biggest tracks this year! Om Miami 2008 is the first time this track has been available on CD. Also featured here is JT Donaldson & Bugz in the Attic’s Daz-I-Kue with they’re dancefloor remix of Home & Garden. It doesn’t stop there! Miami features over 12 new tracks never before released anywhere on CD. Om fans be forewarned! This release is HOT!

Global Noize is DJ Logic and Jason Miles’ funk-electronic-jazz-world mashup. This video is taken from a live show at the Berks Jazz festival Reading PA. How could you NOT want to be some part of all that??

Last night at in the Capitol Theater in the Overture Center for the Arts, those of us in attendance were part of a scene, a moment in time most likely unlike no other….Universes

Undeniable uniqueness
New School meets Old School meets WHAT?

Check out my conversation with Steven Sapp, one of the founders of the group here.

How appropriate are titles to albums, songs, bands…..sometimes they are just perfect. In this case for my tastes, I think the hammer hit that snail square. Tommy Emmanuel c.g.p. has a new live album out today called “Center Stage” and that is the live setting feel gives the listen who has never seen him perform a look, well listen anyways, into the treat it truly is. Released on Favored Nations, this Live 2 CD set (with a DVD coming mid summer) is as intimate as a recording can be, and is a great blend of some new tracks and some fan favotires for previous FN releases. The four new tracks are introduced as: “Ruby’s Eyes”, “Jolly Swagman”, “Lenny Bro”, and “Papa George” (inspired by the legendary Sir George Harrison. This summer there will be a DVD released mixed in 5.1 Dolby Digital sound & filmed in that eye-grabbing High Definition. Both the CD and the DVD contain extra performances of Tommy’s that were not originally part of the “Sierra Center Stage” PBS television program.
