Utican Bob Hubbard on French Radio!!

Not just because Bob is my brother (and is brilliant) but this was pretty damn impressive:

Hello All,

I'll be on French radio on Friday - it will be available on 99.1 FM in France or as podcast. See attached flyer - solo drum improv I did as well as something with Catherine and Francois. Also at "The Living Theater" with Catherine Sikora and Francois Grillot on July 2 . Then John Zorn's Club "The Stone" with Ken Filiano and Bob Feldman on July 13.

Bob

This program will be airing live at 1:30 PM Eastern this Friday on Radio HDR 99.1.

This RADIOLA! is a virtual bender in honor of a station-wide email sent last week by WHCL's General Manager: We will NOT be airing on Friday evening. It is ILLEGAL to be on the air when one is intoxicated, so don't even try it.

First of all, RADIOLA! will be on, as usual, at 8 PM Eastern on WHCL (with streaming HERE)--and the evening broadcasters tend to be "sober men and true." Although tonight anything might happen. I'll upload the broadcast to Live365 once the room stops spinning.

As a dabbler in the art of lyric-writing, I never cease to be amazed by the work of Michael Flanders and Donald Swann. Though a bit newer than most of my RADIOLA! material, this selection is a classic and is guaranteed to delight.

CARMEN CARAMANICA TRIO--TINY'S APRIL 12

Carmen Caramanica, Cosmo Castellano, and Rick Compton will play one of their all-too-infrequent gigs on April 12 (8-11 PM) at Tiny's Grill (1014 State St., Utica NY). They play music somewhat more modern than that featured on RADIOLA!--but they are remarkable musicians, and this performance is not to be missed by anyone who appreciates excellent jazz.

The Harlem Blues & Jazz Band--April 12 & 13

This weekend, The Harlem Blues & Jazz Band billed as "The World's Most Authentic Swing Band" will be appearing locally for two performances. On Saturday, April 12 at 3 PM the group will play at the Utica Public Library, 303 Genesee St., Utica NY (sponsored by the Jazz, Blues & Libraries Too Concert Series). On Sunday, April 13, they will perform at the Filius Events Barn at Hamilton College in Clinton, NY (sponsored by The Jazz Archive, BSU and Dean of Faculty Office). The Hamilton concert begins at 3 PM, with a pre-concert meet-and-greet at 2 PM. The events are free and open to the public.

The Harlem Blues & Jazz Band is the world's most authentic swing band. It stars veteran jazz and blues musicians whose roots reach to the classic period of the '20s and '30s. Together since 1973, these “originals” actually “jumped” at the Woodside and “stomped” at the Savoy, with Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Count Basie, Lionel Hampton, Fats Waller, Louis, Armstrong, Billie Holiday, and other jazz greats. These are the artists who created a new genre, of music for America. The Harlem Blues & Jazz Band, touring since 1976, has been called “a national treasure,” and has been enthusiastically embraced by audiences around the world.

AL GALLODORO CLOSES THE SEGO IN STYLE!

Last night, The Al Gallodoro Quartet (Al on sax, JoAnn Chmielowski on piano, Tom Wetmore on bass, and Joe Tokarowski on drums) played the last gig at the Sego Cafe in Oneonta. It's a sad fact of life that many delightful venues close, but last night's performance was a real New Orleans-style send-off to the Sego. Al and the band played brilliantly to a packed house--a standing-room-only crowd, at one point--and there was joy mingled with the regret of closing. "The Hour of Parting" (a heartbreakingly beautiful number that Al featured on his "Out of Nowhere" CD) literally came all too soon. But after "The Hour of Parting" Al finished the night with Ray Noble's "Cherokee"--and swung it hard.

Chances are that Al and his group will find another venue shortly. But the last night at the Sego was sad, and delightful--and Al Gallodoro at his best.

AL GALLODORO'S LAST SEGO GIG SATURDAY!

Owing to the imminent closing of the Sego Cafe at 291 Main St., Oneonta, sax virtuoso Al Gallodoro will be playing his last gig at the venue this Saturday, March 22, 8-11 PM. Arrangements are being made to host Al and his Quartet elsewhere in the vicinity, but this marks the end of his four-year run at the delightful and intimate Sego. (Press release to follow.)

A TRUE LIVING LEGEND AT NEARLY 95, AL GALLODORO will appear with his QUARTET AT SEGO CAFE, SAT MARCH 22nd, 8-11PM. Piano accompanist JoAnn Chmielowski, Tom Wetmore on Bass, and Joe Tokarowski on drums.

Dr. Alfred J. Gallodoro (born June 20, 1913)

At nearly 95 years young Gallodoro continues to thrill his listeners with his impeccable musicianship and incredible mastery of his instruments. His admirers include more than just saxophone aficionados--he recently appeared twice at Cornell University's Weill Medical College for concerts AND as the subject of an extensive interview on longevity and vitality. Gallodoro was called upon in April 2006 to perform George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with the NYC Harmonie Ensemble, with conductor Steven Richman, a piece which Al performed many thousands of times with Paul Whiteman during their long association. This Gallodoro 2006 performance of Rhapsody in Blue is in the works, we will sent you a release date in a future e-mail! Also check the web-site for a preview of Al's soon to be released new CD: Moment in Time (Birmingham Live 1969).

Al is one of only 13 artists who recorded before 1940 that is still active and recording, During a professional career spanning an amazing nine decades, Gallodoro has played his saxophone, clarinet and bass clarinet in all forms and venues of music--from Vaudeville houses to New Orleans speak-easies, from nightclubs to symphonies, from Carnegie Hall to international jazz festivals (North Sea and Breda, Holland!) and even the Ringling Brothers Circus! In his association of nearly 4 decades with Whiteman, Gallodoro played lead 1st alto sax, as well as clarinet and bass clarinet for the orchestra; hence, the moniker “Triple Threat!” He was a regularly featured “front stage” soloist on live broadcasts spanning from the 1930’s through the 1970’s, and even continues those live radio performances today with regular appearances on Northeast Public Radio! In fact, Gallodoro has done more live on-the-air saxophone and clarinet solos than any other performer in history.

Also a classical performer in his own right, Gallodoro worked for many years under symphonic conductors Arturo Toscanini and Leopold Stokowski. Thus, one can often detect a classical vein running throughout his art of improvisation. Ferde Grofé was so impressed by Gallodoro’s art that he composed Gallodoro’s Serenade for saxophone and piano (1957) to specifically emphasize Al’s style, and showcase his technique. The piece (released on Bridge Records, 2006) had its premier New York City performance and recording when Al was an energetic 91 years old, with pianist Lincoln Mayorga. Perhaps it is his unique ability to bridge jazz and classical idioms that so endears him to a broad variety of fans.

AL GALLODORO was featured in 2002 on CBS’ Sunday Morning, and has also been the topic of a PBS documentary, the Al Gallodoro Story. In 2005 Alfred J. Gallodoro received an Honorary Doctoral Degree from Hartwick College in recognition of a lifetime of extraordinary achievement in music performance and teaching. He can arguably be regarded as the greatest saxophone/clarinet virtuoso in history.

As partner with manager/pianist and long term collaborator JoAnn Bertone Chmielowski, Gallodoro’s independent label Chmusic Productions/Golden Rooster Records Al has added 5 CD’s and a music video to his credit. His most recent release DAYBREAK – Lyrical Jazz (April 2007), has a specific goal: to bring a renewed awareness of the lyrical sound of the saxophone to mainstream jazz. With a bit of Southern flair, credited to his Birmingham and New Orleans roots, the Mediterranean influence of his Sicilian heritage, and the sounds attributed to nearly six decades of working in New York City, Dr. Alfred J. Gallodoro (born June 20, 1913) is still absolutely inimitable! More extensive information can be found at www.algallodoro.com

SEGO CAFE TO CLOSE (PRESS RELEASE)

The Sego Café, located at 291 Main Street in Oneonta, will close its doors effective Monday, March 24th.

“When we took over the Sego Café in 2006, our vision was to create a comfortable bistro and music venue for the area’s adult population, to help bring people to downtown Oneonta, and to provide opportunities for local musicians and artists,” said Alan Cleinman, President of SEGO Management, Inc., the restaurant’s owner. “Thanks to the hard work of our team and the support of many, we have been highly successful on almost every front,” he said.

“Unfortunately, while revenue has climbed each month, it has not climbed faster then costs. After nearly two decades of low food inflation, prices for staples such as bread, milk, eggs, and flour are rising sharply, surging in the past year at double-digit rates. Milk prices have increased by 26 percent over last year while egg prices have jumped by 40 percent. Further, we see no end to this inflationary cycle. We believe that our customers will not support the required price increases necessary for the Café to become profitable under its current format. Accordingly, we are closing the Sego Café and will be exploring other operating formats,” he said.

Through an arrangement with Elena’s at 281 Main Street, all outstanding gift certificates and coupons will be honored. Further, the Café’s award-winning coffee brand, Panache, will also be available at Elena’s. The Sego Café will likely continue as an entertainment facility and will be available for special events and catering functions. The facility is for sale or sublease.

Sego Café will wrap up its activities with two incredible nights of music. On Friday, March 21st, the King of New York Blues, Ernie Williams, will be entertaining guests from 8pm to 11pm. Ernie will be followed on Saturday, March 22nd, with the impresario Mr. Al Gallodoro, for the final Sego event.

Mr. Cleinman further stated, “This decision has not come easily and is based solely on current operating economics. I want to thank all of our loyal customers; our great Sego team; our musicians and artist friends, and our vendors, for their support.” he said. “We welcome all of our friends to enjoy a last Sego event this coming weekend.”
