Spinterview Series- Sounds That Shaped Us

New Masterclass Series at Asheville Music School
Sounds That Shaped Us – Spinterviews by Robin Tolleson
The Loft, Asheville Music School,126 College St.

First Sundays, March 6, April 3, May 1, and June 5
All performances are at 4pm.

The Spinterview is a live mash-up prepared by Robin Tolleson, internationally published music journalist (Downbeat, Billboard, Musician, Modern Drummer, Guitar Player, Bass Player, Wind Player, Mix, Strings) DJ, and drummer. The Spinterview features rare and classic vinyl from your host’s collection, and sound bites from his interviews with some of the finest musicians in the world, all mixed and presented in real time.

March 6… “Blue Note…A New Note”
A vital part of the Golden Age of Jazz, Blue Note Records morphed with the fusion era and thrives today with an increasingly eclectic roster (Elvis Costello & The Roots, jam heroes Gov’t Mule!). This Spinterview features interviews with Bobby McFerrin, Eliane Elias, Wayne Shorter, Billy Martin and ?uestlove, and a tribute to the late Bob Belden.

April 3… “The Legacy of CTI Records”
Using top jazz and studio players, mixing stylish, sometimes lavish arrangements with stunning artwork, Creed Taylor’s label created a timeless product. The Spinterview captures great tracks and keen insights from CTI stalwarts such as George Benson, Herbie Hancock, Airto, Billy Cobham, and Creed Taylor himself.

May 1… “ECM Gems”
The Spinterview lets you meet some of ECM Records’ greats — guitarists John Abercrombie and Pat Metheny, trumpeters Don Cherry and Mark Isham, percussionist Nana Vasconcelos, and drummer Jack DeJohnette. ECM engineer Jan Erik Kongshaug also discusses the label’s signature sound, from his studio in Oslo, Norway.

June 5… “Drum Strokes”
In anticipation of the Asheville Percussion Festival, the Spinterview this month will feature the amazing percussion work of Don Alias and Poncho Sanchez, along with the drumming of Ginger Baker, Louie Bellson, Max Roach, Tony Williams and Adam Deitch. We will also pay tribute to the late greats Raul Rekow and Armando Peraza of Santana.
