"Puttin im Beatles-Stil" St Petersburg – Russlandby Rob Howard |
 "Puttin im Beatles-Stil" ist ein Quartett aus Sankt Petersburg, das sich speziell auf die Arrangements von Beatles-Musik orientiert hat. Neben regelmäßigen Auftritten in Clubs und Konzert-Bühnen ist das Quartett ist eben dabei eine CD aufzunehmen. Ein Höhepunkt ihrer bisherigen Karriere war die Teilnahme am jährlichen Beatles Festival, in Liverpool in den „Caves“, im August 2006 und 2007. Die Mitglieder des Quartetts sind Oksana Short - Akkordeon, Sergej Chipurnov - Roland V-Akkordeon, Nail Kadyrov – Bass und Yuri Nikolaev – Schlagzeug.Der Name der Gruppo bezieht sich auf eine weniger bekannte Aufnahme, gesungen von John Lennon, der Lonnie Donegan Song "Puttin On The Style". Manche Menschen glauben, der Name einfach nur falsch geschrieben und ein Hommage an den russischen Präsidenten Vladimir Putin ist! Am 8. Februar stellt "Puttin im Beatles-Stil" in einem Konzert ihr neues Programm im Klub B2 in Moskau vor. Für weitere Informationen E-Mail: puttinbeatles@mail.ru |

 On January 24th an enthusiastic crowd filled the S.Pedro Auditorium, Cantanhede, Portugal, to attend the performance of the String Quartet of Cantanhede, accompanied by accordionist João Gentil. Organized by the municipality, the concert program was focused on the interpretation of melodies and rhythms, including the best known artistic expression of Argentina - the tango.In a note about the program of the show, Rodrigo Queirós, Artistic Director of the String Quartet of Cantanhede, describes the repertoire included in this show as “exploring the world of Argentinean tango," a process that was "the desire to play other musical pieces that could also exploit the potential of this combination between the string quartet and the bandoneón or accordion." Led by violinist Rodrigo Queirós, the String Quartet of Cantanhede includes Eufrázio Marta – 2nd violin), Dírio Alves – viola, and Antonio Ferreira - cello; João Gentil was performing on bandoneon and accordion. The program included ‘La Cumparsita’ - G. Rodriguez, ‘El Choclo’ – ‘A. Villoldo’, ‘Revirado’ – A. Piazzolla, ‘Libertango’ / ‘Tango pour Claude’ Piazzolla / Galliano, ‘Calambre’ – A. Piazzolla, ‘Vuelvo al Sur’ – A. Piazzolla, ‘Hungarian Dance No. 5’ - J. Brahms, ‘Caruso’ – L. Dalla, ‘Can Can’ – J. Offenbach, ‘Danny Boy’ - Traditional Irish, ‘Granada’ - A.

| NAMM asked Roland to sponsor a tribute to the accordion recognizing the accordion’s return to popularity. The show ‘Accordion Palooza’ was located in the middle of the vast central lobby of the convention center. This is a huge area, and a transitional space between the two center halls. Large numbers of people were constantly walking through on their way to exhibits. It was fun to see one person after another stop to check out the accordion music. Cory Pesaturo started, backed by drummer Mike Snyder and keyboardist Rick DiPiro, and had the place rocking in no time. Following were Janet Hane and Wilma Rodriguez with popular Hispanic songs, finishing up receiving a rousing round of applause. Next was Roland’s artiste Luigi Bruti, who is also Roland’s Director V-Accordion Marketing. Luigi had accompaniment from midi files played through a Roland keyboard. Luigi in person was phenomenal, finessing every nuance out of the FR7, leaving the stage and continuing his presentation strolling through the crowd. This man knows how to hold the attention of an audience. Click and Listen to his performace on www.accordion-space4u.com Following was Eddie Monteiro, widely known for his jazz styles and his fingers that have their own PHd on the bass buttons. Eddie never needs a bassist - his left hand qualifies, and his coordination and combination of accordion, keyboards (modules) and vocal work was another bulls-eye for the Roland show. For the finale Cory and Eddie were back with Mike on drums and Rick on keyboard. This jam session designed to show everyone the orchestral sounds of Roland accordions, stopped traffic throughout the lobby. This show was an eye-opener. If anyone wondered about the future of the accordion in the 21st Century they got their answer that morning. The convention attendees that morning all had things to do, places to go, and deals to make--but Roland accordion music caught their attention - and held it. Friends I have said it before, and I’ll say it again: the accordion is back! |

 The Klezzmates are a klezmer quintet from Cracow, Poland, featuring accordionist Marcin Wiercioch. The Klezzmates website says: “In January 2005 we decided to form a band whose repertoire could put all our indyvidual music interests and experience together. Each of us had had a contact with klezmer music in its very broad aspect and its beauty and variety grabbed all our attention. For quite a long time we pondered over an idea of the band which would realize our own music ideas. This is how the program was born. It contains the most characteristic elements of Jewish and Balkan music (scales, rhythm, harmony). Using our former experience we have added jazz and classical touch. The final effect is our concept of klezmer music”. February 18th, 7pm - Museum Galicia, Cracow, Poland February 28th, 6pm - ‘DST Palacyk Zielinskiego’, Kielce March 6th, 8.30pm - KKB Thaddäus, Kaisheim March 7th, 8pm – Wespennest, Neustadt a.d.W March 18th, 7pm - Museum Galicia, Cracow, Poland June 17th - Dabrowa Tarnowska For further information email: klezzmates@klezzmates.pl |
