Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left Center

Greetings!

No particular theme this week, instead, the usual mish-mosh of new and old things that caught my ear. That being said, I'm busy concocting a program base on the concept of "multiples".  Stay tuned.

Enjoy!

Greetings!

For the second year in a row, Pushing The Envelope is happy to be celebrating International Tuba Day (May 1) which occurs yearly on the first Friday of May. It was founded by a gentleman named Joel Day in 1979 while attending Lower Merion High School in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Being one of only two tuba players in the school band and finding a lack of respect from his fellow classmates, he decided to set a day aside for our recognition as reputable musicians.

International Tuba Day was created for both tuba players and non-tuba players alike to learn more about the significance of the tuba in our musical society. For additional info, please check out the ITD website, http://www.tubaday.com/. 

 

Enjoy!

Man...I'll tell ya.  Of course death is an everyday part of life, but the passing of folks whose music has touched your brain and heart is never easy.  Let's see...my short list for 2023 includes Jeff Beck, Burt Bacharach, Ray Shulman (Gentle Giant), Wayne Shorter, Scott Johnson, Fuzzy Haskins (Parliament-Funkadelic), Yukihiro Takahashi (Yellow Magic Orchestra) and now his YMO cohort, the brilliant musician/composer, Ryuichi Sakamoto.  In Phase One, we'll hear a bunch of pieces from Sakamoto & YMO, while in Phase Two things will change up to bring you some new progressive rock in tandem with some other goodies.  

In an attempt to try to balance things out, next week's program will feature the music of living composers whose birthdays are in April.

Take care,

Joel

As long time listeners might have figured out, I'm quite fond of percussion based music in all it's forms.  So, today's program will give you a taste of  music spanning in time from historically classic percussion compositions to contemporary pieces in multiple genres.  Considering the pile of music I couldn't fit into today's show, Greatest Hits!, Vol. 2 should appear not too far down the road.

Enjoy!

Another April Fools Day is upon us and I chose a bunch of music that has humor, both topically and/or structurally at it's core with Phase Two focused on music directly from or influenced by cartoons, both classic and more recent.  In addition, this particular theme gives me another excuse to play Komar & Melamid/Dave Soldier's masterpiece, "The Most Unwanted Music" which makes me laugh out loud every time I hear it.

Enjoy!
