The Adelaide Show

In this week's episode of The Adelaide Show, we are going to the chapel and we're gonna get married, or rather, we're going to Woodburn Homestead to talk about weddings.

In the Musical Pilgrimage, we have a perfect song by Ben Roberts from Ukulele Death Squad to give us the Fairytale ending for our chat about weddings.

To kick things off, in the SA Drink Of The Week, we return to Poonawatta.

Running Sheet: Let's talk about weddings

00:00:00 Intro

Introduction to the show.

00:01:44 SA Drink Of The Week

The SA Drink Of The Week is a Four Corners Of Eden Valley Shiraz from Poonawatta. We taste it with winemaker, Andrew Holt.

00:10:38 Cindy Westphalen

"I want to come up a big long driveway and arrive at a surprise". They are the words of one of South Australia's most awarded wedding planners and caterers, Cindy Westphalen, in relation to Woodburn Homestead, a pioneering property in Langhorne Creek that she fell in love with and bought many years ago to become her base of operations. In many ways, the pathway of courtship, proposal, wedding planning, and then the wedding day is also like a big long driveway that arrives at a surprise. Of course, after that surprise, there is hopefully a long road ahead, complete with bumps, twists, turns, and sometimes dead ends. To help us understand how to navigate wedding planning, and maybe even our relationships, Cindy joins us on The Adelaide Show.

00:58:27 Musical Pilgrimage

In the musical pilgrimage, we have a song, Fairytale by BS Roberts of Ukulele Death Squad fame.

This song is from the official pilot of the featre length documentary, Adapting. It is also track 1 of 6 from the upcoming EP Live on the Heysen Trail.

In this week's episode of The Adelaide Show, we deliver a show with "that swing" as we dive into the world of piano with Kym Purling and all that jazz!

The person responsible for connecting us up with Kym, Kari Seeley, helps Steve open the show.

And the photographer who snapped Steve and Kym at The Highway, was Kerry Marsh.

We also duck up to the Barossa for a Cabernet Franc tasting with Jo Irvine.

And in the musical pilgrimage, we hear an original jazz composition by patron of the Southern Jazz Club Inc, Chris Kelsey.

Running Sheet: Kym Purling and all that jazz00:00:00 Intro

Introduction to the show.

00:05:14 SA Drink Of The Week

The SA Drink Of The Week is 2017 Levrier Cabernet Franc from the Barossa Valley. We taste it with winemaker, Jo Irvine.

00:11:37 Kym PurlingKym Purling is a gifted pianist who first took the piano by playing songs by ear that he'd heard his sister playing during piano lessons. Fast forward to 2020 and this Adelaide boy (yes, we claim him as ours even though he was born in Vietnam), has toured the world and performed with many of the legendary names from the music world, the likes of Julio Iglasias, James Morrison, Engelbert Humperdink, Natalie Cole, and Harry Connick Jnr. Due to covid, he's back in Adelaide and has generously taken Dave Brubeck's advice to Take 5 with me for a chat about his life and jazz. At the time of recording, you are getting ready for a performance at the Southern Jazz Club at the Anzac Highway, which I can't wait to see. But before we wade into your world of music, I'd like to tease apart a few strands of your story because they really illuminate some of our history from the 70s. I was one of the foundation students at Marion Primary School, starting in its first year of operation in reception and then spending the next 7 years of my life there. At the bottom of the block of land which was originally covered with 6 foot high weeds and grass, was a tree and across the road from that, was a house, all on its own, just south of Westminster. That's where you lived, yes? Your sister, Rebecca Purling was in my class at Marion Primary and I'm not sure if she told you but that tree across from your house was known as the kissing tree, as we hit years 3 and 4. Did you ever experience or witness that action? I started by mentioning this because my recollection of life in the early 70s in Adelaide was one of simplicity, heat, and dust. We had Italian neighbours, who were gregarious and introduced me to beer, and my parents knew just about everybody on the block. But across the sea, the Vietnam War was underway and in that horrid episode of human history, you were born and then estranged from your birth parents, becoming one of the first children to be adopted from that war zone. I know this is still significant in your life, can you share any recollections of that time and your visits back to Vietnam? is it heartening to see how we have adopted Vietnamese cuisine in this country? I was acutely embarrassed to hear you were the subject of racial abuse when you first returned home? And what is home? Can home be more than one place? is it a factor of time spent, or some other type of connection? The story of you being driven to music by Rebecca's piano lessons is fascinating. Was it really a competitive spirit? I ask because my daughters have fierce rivalry and I don't know whether to stop it, encourage it, or just back off. How do you play by ear? Do you visualise keyboards or you are "seeing" themes and melody in certain ways? You used to play anything you could hear, including Billy Joel. Are you the epitome of his Piano Man? Take me through the arc of your awakening to music, classical, and then jazz. Is playing off chords important for jazz? In fact, can you tell me why I am drawn to it like a moth to a flame - but mainly when it has an off beat, rather than all smooth and tinkly? Can you demonstrate the off chord and talk us through its importance? A confession. The piano is your key method of musical expression. Sometimes I glaze over with piano. It is the bass, the drum, the sax that holds me. What am I missing? Or have I been too influenced by Fats Waller who thumped the lower keys to drive the rhythm in his tunes? I've heard you re-interpret music into the jazz format. Does that work best when we all know the original tune deeply - do you assume that so that you can push out further - or should we try to enjoy a piece for its own sake? And as an example, I cite Sweet Georgia Brown performed live by Oscar Peterson at the 1977 Montreux Jazz Festival. I struggle to find any trace of the original melody in that piece. There are some hauntingly beautiful pieces of music that I guess are called Jazz. One is Si Tu Vois Ma Mere - I have heard the Claude Luter version on the soundtrack to Woody Allen's Midnight In Paris. What style is that and why can it basically repeat itself non stop and not bore me? We interviewed Kiah Gossner in episode 296 of The Adelaide Show and he does some quite avant garde compositions. He believes though, that you do need to insert little treats throughout more obscure pieces to keep the audience with you, a bit like Hansel and Gretel leaving a trail of breadcrumbs. Do you agree? If you had to curate an aural self-drive tour into the landscape of jazz, what are the landmark pieces, performers, and styles you would put into the intinerary? In the world of Spotify and iTunes where people quickly sample a few seconds of a song, how does jazz survive and connect with new or young audiences? Or must you have some years under your belt to "get it"? For example, I find the best jazz (and perhaps music) is very elemental and has an almost sexual charge to it. On the performance side, I would like to finish with a couple of questions. Firstly, how rigorous are you with practice and rehearsals? For example, could you not play for a month and then just pick things up like riding a bike? Or do you need to constantly hone your skill? Secondly, you mentioned in a recent article that you enjoyed your jazz studies at Adelaide Uni but did most of your learning on The Strip in Las Vegas, watching how the world’s best entertainers put a show together: what they say, the songs they choose, how they open the show, etc. Can you please take us through a couple of examples, whether that might be Harry Connick Jr, Sandra Bernhard, Natalie Cole, etc. Finally, how are you structuring your performance at the Southern Jazz Club at the Highway Hotel next week?01:37:25 Musical Pilgrimage

In the musical pilgrimage, we have a track composed by Adelaide jazzman, Chris Kelsey, and performed by the Golden City Jazz Band from the Original Tune Competition CD from 1993.

The track is introduced by Paul van der Koog from the Southern Jazz Club Inc.

In this week's episode of The Adelaide Show, we explore a range of Flinders Ranges stories.

Firstly, Brendan, Governess Carmel, and Michelle Reynods share their story of diversitying their Willow Springs Station property into Skytrek (a 4WD tourism experience).

Secondly, we hear from Kaye Fels and John Teague from Hawker and surrounds, recorded at the Hawker Drought Muster on the weekend, an event organised by various Rotary Clubs from Adelaide (including Campbelltown and Magill) to cap off their campaign of dropping hay up to drought-stricken properties in recent time.

And, thirdly, in the musical pilgrimage, we hear from J-MILLA, a singer songwriter who represents the First Nations of life on this land. We've heard from him before but his new song 60k+ is a reflection on the 60,000+ years that First Nations people lived in and became bonded to the land, including the spectacular land around Wilpena Pound, home of the Adnyamathanha people.

To kick things off, in the SA Drink Of The Week is from Rojomoma in the Eden Valley.

Running Sheet: A range of Flinders Ranges stories

00:00:00 Intro

Introduction to the show.

00:03:00 SA Drink Of The Week

The SA Drink Of The Week is 2016 Rojomoma Cabernet Sauvignon from the Eden Valley. We taste it with winemaker, Sam Kurtz.

00:09:46 Brendan, Governess Carmel, and Michelle ReynoldsMeet the Reynolds family - Michelle, Governess Carmel, and Brendan - owners of Skytrek Willow Springs Station, a drawcard for 4WD enthusiasts in the Flinders Ranges. There are many Flinders Ranges stories and opinions to share from running a station in drought to building a tourism attraction, from learning through School Of The Air to teaching city slickers how to dress for the country.

00:34:22 Kaye Fels and John Teague

On the weekend just passed, the Hawker Drought Muster was held to wrap up a season of hay drops, organised by various Rotary Clubs from Adelaide including Campbelltown and Magill.

Steve chats with a couple of local operators about the muster, the drought, and creating a life in the northern Flinders Ranges.

You'll meet Kaye Fels from Merna Mora, and John Teague who runs Hawker Motors.

00:46:13 Musical Pilgrimage

In the musical pilgrimage, we have a song, 60k+ by J-MILLA.

Just over a week ago, J-MILLA was handpicked as one of the BIGSOUND 50, and he celebrated by releasing his 4th official track: 60K+ feat Goji.

60K+ is one of J-MILLA’s more racially skewed musings and came about when the Adelaide Festival Centre asked him to write a song for their youth program about the 2020 NAIDOC Week theme - Always Was Always Will Be. He had 72 hours to pen the track.

He says, “60K+ just came to me. I wanted these young kids to understand and appreciate the fact that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island peoples have been living on this country for more than 60,000 years; there’s evidence of 80 thousand years so I wanted to plant that seed in their minds. I also wanted to take the opportunity and point out that I was raised by a non-Indigenous single mother and that she taught me everything I
know about my black culture. I wanted to make this clear in this song, so that these kids understand that if you care for one another like my mum did me, colour shouldn’t matter at all. Love is universal, we can all feel it.”

Female singer, Goji, gives the song rich depth with her smooth melody work.

It's the perfect song to wrap up an episode about the stunning land with a lot of history: The Flinders Ranges.

And in news just in at the time of broadcast, it's been announced that J-MILLA will kick off NAIDOC week concerts on TikTOk Australia next Monday, November 9 2020, at 7pm SA time. Apparently, he is planning a 20-30 minute set that will be F.U.N.

Taking the side of coffee we have Steve Davis (Baristador Coffee), Marco Petta (Segafredo), and Adriano Lagozzino (Xtraction Coffee).

Take the side of tea we have Robert Godden (The Devotea), and Simone Douglas (Duke Of Brunswick hotelier and purveyor of tea made to a high standard).

The conversation marks the rebirth of Steve's Baristador Coffee project through welcoming on board Robert's The Devotea operation. Seemed like a good excuse for a chat over a cuppa!
