Ralph Peer and the Making of Popular Roots Music , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 664min
This is the first biography of Ralph Peer, the adventurous - even revolutionary - A&R man and music publisher who saw the universal power locked in regional roots music and tapped it, changing the breadth and flavor of popular music around the world. It is the story of the life and 50-year career, from the age of cylinder recordings to the stereo era, of the man who pioneered the recording, marketing, and publishing of blues, jazz, country, gospel, and Latin music. The book tracks Peer's role in such breakthrough events as the recording of Mamie Smith's Crazy Blues (the record that sparked the blues craze), the first country recording sessions with Fiddlin' John Carson, his discovery of Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family at the famed Bristol sessions, the popularizing of Latin American music during World War II, and the postwar transformation of music on the airwaves that set the stage for the dominance of R&B, country, and rock n' roll. But this is also the story of a man from humble Midwestern beginnings who went on to build the world's largest independent music publishing firm, fostering the global reach of music that had previously been specialized, localized, and marginalized. Ralph Peer redefined the ways promising songs and performers were identified, encouraged, and promoted; rethought how far regional music might travel; and changed our very notions of what pop music can be. ungekürzt.

Spirit of the Wind: A Woman's View of Sailing Across the Ocean , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 386min
This audiobook is the story of sailing across the ocean from Guam to San Francisco on our wonderful sailboat, the "Spirit of the Wind", a 41 foot Taiwan-built Ketch designed by William Garden. A group of 20-something kids went to Guam looking for the meaning of life, bought a boat, fixed it up, and learned to sail across the ocean. It was a beautiful and spiritual journey, while at times was totally and completely terrifying. It introduced me to the South Pacific Islands and the wonderful and gracious people there - it was truly a paradise. The warm trade winds that I can feel sometimes in my dreams, the feel and sounds of the wind in the sails and moving through fear. I learned to improvise in the moment, how to deal with life then there was no land for weeks on end, with just the horizon all around - as if we were sailing on a mirror. It introduced me to the wonders of the ocean and its inhabitants. This trip changed my life and what I thought the world was. It enabled me to see, feel, and do things that I didn't know I was capable of. It was a serious lesson in being with three other people, all men, in a 40 foot sailboat with very little privacy. It taught me that the weather goes on - it doesn't help to pray for it to change and is bigger than us. It was transformational in so many ways, facing death almost daily. ungekürzt.

Ketch Kincaid, one of Benjamin's star students, returned to college after serving in the army. He needs something to get his mind off his recent breakup and collecting research data might do it.

Tsunami Project: Sky in the Morning
Creative Music Alliance is a circle of musicians active on the creative music scene in Atlanta, Georgia, all of whom are recording artists and many of whom had come into association with each other via Julie Dexter's Ketch-A-Vibe Tea Room. Responding with great enthusiasm to collectively contribute their talent, time, and energy via a recording effort to provide relief funding for victims of the December, 2004 Indonesian tsunami, these 17 musicians - Julie Dexter, Mausiki Scales, Kinah Boto, Venuseven, Ede Wright, Takana Miyamoto, Kebbi Williams, Russell Gunn, Jerome Crichton, Shanti Om, Fhena, Ali Barr, Anton Harris, Dashill Smith, Khari Simmons, Immanuel Zechariah - under the direction of Mamaniji Azanyah, have produced a compassionate and timeless tribute: Tsunami Project: Sky In The Morning CD. CREATIVE MUSIC ALLIANCE TSUNAMI PROJECT: Sky In The Morning Fhena - Spoken Word Venuseven (Ingrid Sibley/Dorothy "Dee" Bell) - Vocals Julie Dexter - Vocals Shanti Om - Vocals Immanuel Zechariah -Didgeridoo / Soprano Saxophone Mamaniji Azanyah - Bass Mausiki Scales - Fender Rhodes Electric Piano Takana Miyamoto - Keyboards Ede Wright - Guitar Jerome Crichton - Drums Kinah Boto - Iyo Drums Russell Gunn- Trumpet Ali Barr - Fluglehorn Anton Harris - Alto Flute Kebbi Williams - Tenor Saxophone Dashill Smith - Bass Clarinet Khari Simmons - Spirit Bass Ragenia Waddada - Graphic Artist / Photography Tsunami Project: Sky In The Morning © 2005 Mamaniji Azanyah Conceived, Composed & Arranged by Mamaniji Azanyah Spoken Word: Written and Performed by Fhena Recorded at: Red Tuxedo Studios, Atlanta, GA Alex Lowe - Recording/Mixing/Mastering Engineer Benjamin Price - Recording/Mixing Engineer The debt owed to the artists participating in this project could never be repaid. It is with a profound sense of gratitude, not merely for the excellence of each individual contribution but above all, for the highly enthusiastic response - without any hesitation - to rise to the challenge of this occasion. It is always a humbling experience to work in the midst of such awesome talent, and yet the patience, sensitivity, graciousness and sincerity demonstrated by everyone made it a most pleasant event. Some gems worthy of remembrance: Venuseven instantly creating angelic sounds from abstract concepts... and the absolute wonder that brought tears to Fhena's eyes and directed pen to paper when Julie and Shanti lifted their voices alongside Ingrid and Dee... Kinah Boto's casual announcement one minute before the recording was to begin: "Oh yeah, I just spoke to Kebbi this morning. He got back in town yesterday. You want me to call him? Russell Gunn's brilliance... Ede Wright's response to the role of the guitar: "Oh, you want ME to be the Tsunami!" Ben's response to Kebbi's sudden appearance, transcendent solo and sudden disappearance: "WHO was that cat!!!? To which Alex calmly responded: "Oh, you don't know Kebbi? (laughter...) Takana's absolutely humble, "Was that okay?" after rendering track upon track of keyboard work for which this language has no appropriate superlatives! Khari Simmons (Electric Bass), who came prepared to make a contribution and waited patiently until obligation to another studio date forced his departure. Finally, there are certain experiences which can only be attributed to the hand of Divine Providence working through Divine Inspiration to effect Divine Blessing. This Tsunami Project: Sky In the Morning is without doubt such an experience. Peace, Love, Blessings, Mamaniji Azanyah.- Shop: odax
