Bill Parton Trio performing live featuring guest Trombonist Bob Johnson Bill Parton Trio, Bob Johnson Ladies and Gentlemen,


It saddens me to inform you all that our dear friend Bob Johnson is soon to be leaving the country to pursue commitments overseas.


It's not often you come across someone who can look you straight in the eye and honestly say that they've performed with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jnr, Peter Allen, Natalie Cole and Barbara Streisand; Bob Johnson however can. Not to mention the fact that Bob was the one who first taught Australia's jazz icon James Morrison how to play the Trombone back when he James was only 16 years old.


To farewell the great Bobby J, we invite you all to the Royal Oak Hotel (123 O'Connel St, North Adelaide, SA 5006) on Wednesday, 21st May 2008 from 8:30pm till 11:30pm where Bob will be performing with Bill Parton Trio which will be his last performance in Adelaide prior to his departure and probably his last performance in Adelaide for a long time.

Before we knew a lick of the story, we were absorbing the message. Fuck dat shit insisted the chorus of Club Action - the anthem that has been the groups most enduring hit to date. When your existence is touched by the forces that try to keep you down, you know what to do: fuck dat shit. As the deeper intention behind those words was revealed, we fell under YO MAJESTYs spell.


Come to learn, YO MAJESTYs music encompasses one of the most time honored messages in modern art -- the one about freeing ourselves from mental slavery. In the guise of what The Onion AV Club called party ladies from Florida, YO MAJESTY is hip hop, hard rock, gospel, electronic and at times whatever the hell Parliament was. And how can a sound

vibrations I'd seen inside of these strings

the keys that I held that explained everything

and lost in the circle that spins far and wide

and returns to the center when we cross the next side

count to forever and return to one day

and recall the moments when they heard your pain

would it be so crazy you sent you a note?

wrapped inside music --that sang your last hope

JIMMY RECARD

THE FIRST SINGLE FROM 'BROTHERS GRIMM ' 'Jimmy Recard' is the magnetic first single

from 'Brothers Grimm', the 3rd album from

West Australian MC Drapht . 'Jimmy Recard' is the magnetic first single from 'Brothers Grimm', the 3rd album from acclaimed West Australian MC Drapht. If a name is the first thing we inherit upon entering this world, it must surely play a critical role in the determination of who we become. In 'Jimmy Recard' Drapht reflects on what could have been had he not been christened "plain old, boring old Paul". A brilliantly catchy and tongue-in-cheek party-starter, Jimmy Recard is the story of the "king of the castle" and the "king of the bar-stool" - a man with the world at his feet. With Drapht's unique voice and funky, hypnotic flow layered over a soul-fuelled, guitar driven beat, 'Jimmy Recard' is an instant classic. While it may be true for Jimmy that "everything he touches turns to gold", the same could well be said for his doppelga

Marcus Kaes and Christian Klppel take a small but important and successful part in the german club music scene for more than about 10 years by now.

.

by Mark Kirby,

Whether you call it praise music or New Jack gospel, this genre is most often a classic case of "preaching to the choir," with song lyrics lifted artlessly from the King James bible and histrionic music calculated to "reach out and touch somebody's hand." Dear god. Luckily, Charles Laster II and Silvia Pratesi don't make this mistake on their new record Journey of Life. Their songs reference salvation, heaven, and living the Christian life but, like secular soul music, have an uplifting universality. Those of us who aren't Christian - agnostics, Muslims, those whose spirituality can't be pigeonholed - can still understand the positive spirituality that is the wellspring of Laster and Pratesi's music, and still get our groove on. Laster, who composed the excellent lyrics, and Pratesi, who created most of!

The Cost

The single most common question that DJs are asked in the first instance is How much are you? Now everyone loves value for money, but you havent even asked what service they provide yet! Despite the generic image of mobile DJs being all the same, we are very different in our approach to the work, and services can vary by some distance from DJ to DJ. If you are on a tight budget of say, 125, then your choice will be limited and you may end up with a novice or someone with borrowed and dusty equipment.

Always tempting too is letting a friend have a go

a recipe for an empty dance floor and a full bar!

Cost-cutting is magnified two-fold when talking of a wedding

reception. Not only the most important day of your lives, but a day where youve probably spent 500 on a cake, 2000 on dresses and suits and untold amounts on food and drink.seems like false economy to skimp on the biggest part of the whole day, the party.

"A world class Latin band" - Rhythms Magazine

Captivating, lively and utterly addictive - 10-piece Latin outfit San Lazaro are set to embark on their long awaited nationwide tour and you better believe you're going to dance!

The Liberating Experience of Hip-Hop in My Music!

By Danny C. Sillada

INTRODUCTION

As a Filipino multi-media artist, I must humbly admit, I don't only compose and sing ethnic songs, needless to mention my ethno-techno compositions, but I also write and perform hip-hop music.

But why Hip-hop?

I. BRIEF HISTORY OF "PINOY HOP-HOP"

Honestly, though, I am new to hip-hop culture especially to the so-called "Pinoy Hip-Hop", imported from America and became prominent in the Philippines via some Filipino mainstream artists in the 1980s, but suddenly lost momentum in the early 1990s, and later resurfaced in the late 1990s onwards.

Among those forerunners of "new Filipino hip-hop generation" are young university college students who, out of disillusionment from authorities and the society, used hip-hop as a potent tool for protest and "self-expression".

One of these progressive groups, some have already graduated with degrees, is called "AMPON" (Absolute Messages Personified Over Noise). They come

DANNY SILLADA: A FILIPINO RENAISSANCE MAN

"Danny Sillada is the embodiment of a Filipino who defies the existing trend. His multi-faceted attribute in the humanities, as a Renaissance man, is identical with those of well-rounded historical figures during the Renaissance period in Europe. Sillada is a visual artist recognized in the Philippine art scene for his paintings and installation artworks, a literary writer who is into prose and poetry, a philosopher, whose writings are akin with existentialism, a first-rate performance artist, and also an art-critic."

The critical approaches to art or theories in studying art works are surely a rational activity. But more than that, it develops a completely new dimension and a broader yet at the same time more concrete perspective on the artistic phenomenon under question. Theories explain the unity of the work of art among its diverse manifestations. They explain why works of art are admired by people who know little about the history of art, why they survive th
