www.setdancingnews.net Joe Burke on the Box and Paddy Glackin Fiddle. Joe is one of the best box players in the traditional Irish music scene. Born in Kilnadeema, south of Loughrea in Co Galway in 1939, Joe Burke was introduced to music at an early age. His mother played the box in the old style. He recalls that he was four years of age when he first started playing. “There was always dancing in the house,” he told one interviewer. His uncle taught him his first tune – Let Erin Remember. As far back as he can remember there was a gramophone in the house and he remembers listening to early 1930s recordings by the Ballinakill Ceili Band and Michael Coleman. His most significant instructors were the Downey family of Leitrim Cross, also near Loughrea. “A great music house, millions of tunes.” Two or three nights every week the young Joe Burke played with Jack Downey and learned his trade. There were also good players around Ballinakill, between Woodford and Loughrea: Stephen, Eddie and Ambrose Moloney and members of the White family, from whom Burke learned his music. In the Fifties he bought an accordion in Waltons of Dublin for £5 which he still has. The one he plays most often was custom-made by the French maker Bertrand Gaillard and the reeds are hand-made by an Italian, Binci. He won the All-Ireland Senior Accordion Championship in Thurles in 1959 and again in 1960 in Boyle. He withdrew from competition after that believing in a convention that the victor lets others …

Chamber Music Monterey Bay presents Guarneri String Quartet, live at the Sunset Center, Carmel, CA. Oct 17th 2008

Centuries ago, long before the advent of radio or recording technology, chamber music was the music for the masses — the music in which people from nearly every segment of society could find meaning and relevance. A decade into the 21st century, Esperanza Spalding — the bassist, vocalist and composer who first appeared on the jazz scene in 2008 — takes a contemporary approach to this once universal form of entertainment with Chamber Music Society, her August 17, 2010, release on Heads Up International, a division of Concord Music Group. Backed by drummer Terri Lyne Carrington and pianist Leo Genovese — and inspired by the classical training of her younger years — Esperanza creates a modern chamber music group that combines the spontaneity and intrigue of improvisation with sweet and angular string trio arrangements. The result is a sound that weaves the innovative elements of jazz, folk and world music into the enduring foundations of classical music. “So much of my early musical experience was spent playing chamber music on the violin, and it’s a form of music that I’ve always loved,” says Esperanza. “I was very inspired by a lot of classical music, and chamber music in particular. I’m intrigued by the concept of intimate works that can be played and experienced among friends in an intimate setting. So I decided to create my version of contemporary chamber music, and add one more voice to that rich history.” Chamber Music Society is a place where connoisseurs of …
