“The Bradley Years”

The Bradley Years represent the definitive collection of steelband music arrangements and performances for a large steel orchestra. This collection showcases seven classic arrangements from the master arranger Clive Bradley.  Bradley is considered to be the best steelband music arranger ever by many, including his peers.  In addition, the arrangements are performed by one of the finest steelbands in the world, New York’s Pantonic Steel Orchestra. Clive Bradley had a very special relationship with Pantonic.  This orchestra clinched the title of panorama champions five times in seven years - performing Bradley’s musical works.  The performances were captured by Basement Recordings days before, and in one instance, mere moments before they took the stage for the prestigious annual steelband music panorama competition.  The recordings capture, reproduce and present an unrivalled clarity with sonic realism, of a large steel orchestra fielding between one hundred and one hundred twenty musicians - unlike any other steelband music recordings in its class.   

This body of musical work is a sterling addition for all fans, educators, players, historians and fine music collectors.

PhotoPlus Expo 2009 - Technology Once Again
the Great Equalizer
For the Steelband Artform and Everyone
 

New York, NY - The 2009 PhotoPlus International Conference and Expo at New York’s Jacob Javits Center saw over 250 companies showcasing products and new technologies that are directly related to the global steelpan music industry being able to successfully sustain and market itself in an environment that is always competing for people’s attention. One pays dearly for not knowing, or not staying abreast of technological evolution. Being able to capture and retain the public’s attention, or at least being in the running to accomplish such - demands that any musical organization or community i.e. steel orchestras and respective associations, operate on par with other industry professionals. And a critical component in this is - technology.

North Paddington
community centre fined
Late night steelband practice blamed
 

England, UK - A community centre which made life unbearable for North Paddington residents with bands playing steel drums late at night has been fined.

A number of complaints were made about the Yaa Asantewa Arts Centre, in Chippenham Mews, including some neighbours who said the steel band practice was so loud they could not even talk in their own homes.

Those living right next door bore the full brunt of several steel drums playing in unison.

Some residents also complained about the noise caused from social events at the centre, which could sometimes be heard until the early hours of the morning.

Semi-Final Line up set for Southern Marines Steelband Foundation’s 9th Annual
Talent Expression

 

Trinidad & Tobago, WI -  The preliminary round of the ninth edition of the Talent Expression competition organised by the Southern Marines Steelband Foundation and held Saturday 24th October at the Southern Marines Pan Palais, Marabella was of such a high standard that all twenty-six contestants - including technically superb panist Opal Murrel - have been included in the semi finals to be held at the same venue on Saturday 7th November.  Twelve finalists will be chosen, then, to contest the finals on Saturday 21st November.

Leading the race into the semi-finals is veteran calypsonian James “Durango” Samuels followed closely by jazz singer Kerlene Joseph and pop vocalist Marsha Cagan. But the smart money knows that there is many a slip between the cup and the lip and that early form does not necessarily reveal eventual winners. Much attention is being paid to the fortunes of dramatist Gregory Sherwood, dynamic ten-year old soca star Ferdinand Smith and panist Opal Murrel.

ACB supports
 schools’ steelband competition 
 

Antigua & Barbuda, WI - The Schools' Independence Steelband Competition has received a major boost. This was made possible by a donation from Antigua Commercial Bank (ACB) to the organisers of the event.

ACB has come onboard as the official sponsor of all the prizes for the competition.

In a presentation ceremony yesterday, the bank’s Marketing and Public Relations Executive Shawn Nicholas noted that ACB strongly supports the pan movement in Antigua and Barbuda.

For this reason, the bank has become the official title sponsor for Panorama.

Nicholas said the bank believes that attention has to be given to the young and upcoming pan players to ensure a bright future for the National Panorama Competition.

So, the Executive and Members of Southern Marines Steelband Foundation through me, Michael L. Joseph, wish to wholeheartedly welcome the new President of Pan Trinbago Mr. Keith Diaz, and his Executive to the helm of a most dynamic People’s Organization.

Laventille pannist scores
in New York
 

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad - From the rough and tumble, often times dangerous world of the inner city, a talent frequently emerges with universal appeal. It’s no different, whether that place is Brownsville, Brooklyn or Success Village, Laventille. It is the latter where Ricardo Jerome first honed his musical skills. Ricardo’s impressive musical appeal and commercial success in New York was not handed to him. “Back home was really hard. I had to make a move…I had to get out,” he recalls, referring to life in Laventille. But life in Brooklyn was equally challenging. “I worked odd jobs to make it until I started teaching pan on a part-time basis in schools.” This was his big break, for through this programme he regularised his immigration status and really began concentrating on his God-given musical talents.

Printers ‘talk loud’
and say something
Two ‘Scaredy Cats’ Run for cover,
while Five Step up to the plate
 

New York, NY - Ever wonder what happens when you take the product presenters out of their comfort zone and eliminate their prepared script? Will they let their product do the talking? Or will they bow out, run and hide? When Steel Talks (WST) put seven highly-respected manufacturers of printers in that exact position. The companies that did participate all fared remarkably well. If they were queasy, scared or even apprehensive they never let on. To their credit, the over-riding attitude was “bring it on!”

Quality prints are critical to the visual telling of the story and documentation of any culture when hard copy is utilized. Beyond the obvious individual albums and collections by enthusiasts of steelpan music happenings, and by the curious - quality photo prints are key to the marketing of any culture. Every panyard and/or practice facility in the world is a library, museum and art gallery. It is simply a matter of perspective and how we view these spaces where monumental genius work has accrued and continues to birth. It is imperative that every organization carry and display its history with them through images at all times.

- and You
 

New York, NY - When Steel Talks (WST) is among the press corps at the PDN International Conference and PhotoPlus Expo, Jacob Javits Center, New York. We are here to mingle with manufacturers, observe, question and explore their philosophies and their new digital imaging products and accessories that have, and will continue to have, such a great impact on our story - the story of the global steelpan culture, art form and community.

Indeed, the tens of thousands of people who are part of our global WST network on Facebook, Ning, PanOnTheNet and more, have come to expect - in addition to full articles - high quality images, photos that tell a story about the art form, its practitioners/ musicians and fans.

We, When Steel Talks, are now equally as famed for our steelpan photography, as we are known globally for state-of-the-art recordings, video, and audio production and news coverage. Photos bring text to life - just as the key to a superior video is superior audio. Without those great, eagerly-anticipated images from our WST pan-photographers our articles would be - well - simply a grouping of characters on a screen enrapturing readers, but still leaving much to their imagination - and awaiting that final touch - photographs - to be truly brought to life.

Ebony Steelband
Celebrating 40 Years
 

England, UK - Ebony’s historical journey began in a humble setting of a chilly autumn of 1969 in Acton, London by Cape James and Winston ‘P’ Joseph. Cape inherited the steel pans from The Relatives Steelband when John Justalyn, a founder of the band passed away.

A garden shed at Cape’s home became Ebony’s first panyard with its original members: Winston ‘P’ Joseph, Leeford Sylvester, Hugh and Wendell Hargreaves and Cape James. The band comprised of a single cello pan, a set of 4-pan bass, one tenor pan and a double tenor pan.

James proceeded to register the band as the Ebonites Steelband but soon discovered that the name had already been registered and with good intentions, registered the band, ‘Ebony Steelband’. And so the birth of Ebony Steelband had joined a family of Caribbean culture already establishing a place into British society.

‘War’ brewing
for control of Pan Trinbago
 

Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - A small “war” is brewing for control of Pan Trinbago even before the October 25 elections to select the Central Executive.

The fight is for the post of president, which is being contested by incumbent Patrick Arnold and president of the Northern Region, Keith Diaz.

Several days ago, Pan Trinbago secretary Richard Forteau received an attorney's letter giving an opinion of the Constitution and Bye Laws of the association. Diaz is strongly objecting to Arnold's nomination by Mello Harps of Tobago saying that the band is not financial. He contends that the band cannot be a part of the elections of officers.

‘Steelpan and Calypso – Trinidad and Tobago’s Troubadours’

2009 Lise Waxer Memorial Lecture
 

Toronto, Canada - Caribbean music icon Desmond Waithe will be the featured speaker for the 2009 Lise Waxer Memorial Lecture in the Department of Music at York University on October 23.

Waithe’s lecture will cover the history of steelpan and calypso, from the pan’s ‘tamboo-bamboo’ roots in the 1920s and ‘30s, through the evolution of the instruments using oil drums in the ‘40s, to calypso’s important role in spreading news about current events, fighting the censorship of the British government and pushing the boundaries of free speech.

Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - Master jazz trombonist and record producer Delfeayo Marsalis, from New Orleans, Louisiana, and Trinidad and Tobago’s finest and most celebrated pannist and arranger, Robbie Greenidge, delivered a class act at Queen’s Hall on Wednesday night, when they came together to play Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World”.

The veteran musicians followed each other’s lead with their musical improvisations throughout the song. At the end of the performance, as the crowd wildly applauded, they saluted and hugged each other as if to say: “Thank you for your music.”

Greenidge was at ease playing with Marsalis and his quintet of David Bryant on piano, Dean Hulett on bass, Mark Gross - Alto Sax, Mark Shim - tenor sax and Herlin Riley drums.

When the group was established, they could not find space to hold their large instruments in a public building so they started practising in Nunes’ basement in Thorold South. He played in the Winnipeg Steel Orchestra and has been playing for 37 years.

The group will teach any child that wants to learn how to play the steel drums for free, and parents are welcome to accompany the children at practices.
