ARTICLE:

After a heavy winter in many parts of the U.S. (except some places like California), parents of small children all around the country may be in a celebratory mood as they anticipate letting their children once again enjoy the great outdoors. Adding to the fun is the availability of many songs and albums from the Ruth Roberts children songbook collection, including "St. Patrick's Day Songs That Tickle Your Funny Bone."

Additional seasonal tunes include: "Easter Songs That Tickle Your Funny Bone," "Spring Songs That Tickle Your Funny Bone," and "April Fools' Day Songs That Tickle Your Funny Bone."

"The change of seasons means we're all getting into a happier mood," states Susan Nicoletti, Director of Operations for Goldenrod Music, the publishing company overseeing Roberts' songs. She is pleased to direct parents and teachers to Ruth Roberts' albums and songs on iTunes where the albums are priced at $4.99 and individual songs are $0.49 each.

"In addition to being cute songs, they are Rated G for all audiences," Nicoletti states. She has an excellent understanding of what "G-Rated" means because for five years prior to working with Ruth Roberts Music she was on the ratings board for the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).

About Ruth Roberts:

Not many songwriters have had their work recorded by The Beatles but the Fab Four sang Roberts' song "Mailman Bring Me No More Blues" (on the "Anthology 3" album). However, it is for children's music that Ruth Roberts may be best known, starting with her work with Bob Keeshan, who was the TV icon Captain Kangaroo.

"Teachers and educators can discover more about the many musicals written by Ruth Roberts for a K-through-grade-6 curriculum," states Nicoletti.

Every sports fan knows some songs by Ruth Roberts, including "Meet the Mets," "It's a Beautiful Day for a Ball Game," and "Mr. Touchdown, USA."

Fans of the Great American Songbook know her love songs recorded by Dean Martin, Debbie Reynolds, Theresa Brewer, Jimmy Dean, The McGuire Sisters, Patti Page, Vic Damone, Arthur Godfrey, Steve Allen and Eydie Gorme." And Roberts' songs have appeared in such films and TV shows as "Yes Man," "The Benchwarmer," "A Dirty Shame," "Everybody Loves Raymond," "Seinfeld," and Conan O'Brien.

NARIP Leads Mission from Hollywood to Berlin

Author: National Association of Record Industry Professionals
Dateline: Hollywood, California (HOLLYWOOD, Calif.)  | Tue, 04 Mar 2014

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “The National Association of Record Industry Professionals (NARIP) led a delegation on a mission of commerce, culture and copyright advocacy from Hollywood to Berlin during September 2013 to stimulate entertainment economic activities in both countries. The mission resulted in music placements in American productions, including a German artist, and renewed interest in international creative collaborations.”



ARTICLE:

The National Association of Record Industry Professionals (NARIP) led a delegation on a mission of commerce, culture and copyright advocacy from Hollywood to Berlin during September 2013 - with ongoing efforts - to stimulate entertainment economic activities in both countries. The mission resulted in music placements in American productions, including a German artist, and renewed interest in international creative collaborations.

NARIP brought two leading music supervisors, VH1's Paul Logan ("Black Ink Crew," "Couples Therapy") from Hollywood, and Michael Hill (Emmy(R)-winning "Nurse Jackie") from New York, to find music for their current projects, for events in Berlin, hosted by the Berlin Music Commission. Songs and recordings were presented by the German music industry to Logan and Hill for analysis and consideration.

NARIP's delegation met with American Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany John B. Emerson as well as Cultural, Economic and Commercial Affairs Officers at the American Embassy. Ambassador Emerson took great interest in NARIP's initiative to seek out German music for American film and television that benefit artists, songwriters and copyright owners, as well as world audiences and fans. Also discussed were efforts to address music piracy.

"We have been delighted to work with NARIP on its high-profile collaboration and trade opportunities between Hollywood and Berlin," said Emerson, "and share its advocacy for the rights of artists and creators, and its passion for music that elevates our culture and inspires the world."

Following NARIP's programs at Berlin Music Week, NARIP President Tess Taylor emphasized how important it is for the U.S. and Germany to strengthen and reinforce copyright protections for authors and owners. Erosion of copyright has adverse effects on U.S. innovation, jobs, the economy, our balance of trade with other nations, and cultural exports which reflect American ideals that lead the world toward democracy, freedom and a better future.

"I am thrilled by the success of NARIP's Music Supervisor Sessions at Berlin Music Week, especially by recent music placements from our sessions," says Taylor. "It's gratifying when our global organization can facilitate great music for the public and commercial success for creators and marketers of music, no matter where in the world they may be. NARIP has helped make the distance between Hollywood and Berlin that much shorter."

Sandra Piller Tells All About a ‘Good Night Kiss’

Author: Sandra Piller
Dateline: Los Angeles, California (LOS ANGELES, Calif.)  | Fri, 28 Feb 2014

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Every one of us has been through the emotional roller coaster leading up to a first kiss and all of those sensations are presented in 'Good Night Kiss,' the latest country song from Shady Hill Records artist Sandra Piller, recorded at Rough Edges Studio in Nashville.”



ARTICLE:

Every one of us has been through the emotional roller coaster leading up to a first kiss and all of those sensations are presented in "Good Night Kiss," the latest country song from Shady Hill Records artist Sandra Piller, recorded at Rough Edges Studio in Nashville.

"It was great fun working on this song," Piller states. "When you have co-writers like Jane Bach and Kelly Fitzgerald, you are always pushed to the top of your game." As can be seen in the video to the song, the lyrics deal with this romantic topic with a mix of tenderness, observational humor, and playfulness.

"The song represents a beautiful moment but one that is fraught with emotion," notes Bach, who also produced the recording at Rough Edges Studio in Nashville, "and we didn't shy away from any of the excitement, hopefulness, and -- let's face it -- raw terror you can experience with a first kiss." Piller adds that "Working in the studio with Jane is something I always enjoy, and I think that comes through when you listen to the song."

As a veteran music professional in Nashville, Bach penned a number one hit by Reba McIntire ("The Last One to Know") and has written hit songs for many other country artists including Ray Price and Jo Dee Messina. The third writer on the song, Kelly Fitzgerald, has toured all over the world as a solo and ensemble performer, sharing the stage with such artists as Shelby Lynne, Vonda Shepard, Nanci Griffith, Cheap Trick, Eddie Money, the Gin Blossoms and many others.

Shady Hill Records was founded several years ago to record, distribute, and foster the cause of contemporary artists whose work respects and reflects the strong traditions of the roots of American music. For more information about Sandra Piller, Jane Bach, Shady Hill Records, and "Good Night Kiss," or to schedule an interview with Sandra Piller and Jane Bach, please visit the label website or contact G-Man Marketing.

Broadway Musicians to Make Beautiful Music with their Spouses in Pit Stop Players ‘Date Night’ Concert

Author: Pit Stop Players
Dateline: New York, New York (NEW YORK, N.Y.)  | Fri, 14 Feb 2014

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “New York's The Pit Stop Players, a fourteen-member instrumental ensemble composed of veteran Broadway pit musicians, will present an unusual concert entitled 'Date Night,' featuring group members and their spouses performing together. The event will take place Monday, March 24, 2014 at the Leonard Nimoy Thalia at Peter Norton Symphony Space.”



ARTICLE:

New York's The Pit Stop Players, a fourteen-member instrumental ensemble composed of veteran Broadway pit musicians, will present an unusual concert entitled "Date Night," featuring group members and their spouses performing together. The event will take place Monday, March 24, 2014, at 7:30 p.m., at the Leonard Nimoy Thalia at Peter Norton Symphony Space, 2537 Broadway at 95th Street.

"Lots of musicians are married to other musicians, but the chances to play together in public are less frequent than you might think. We thought an opportunity like this would be fun for both the players and the audience," says Pit Stop Players founder/music director Joshua Rosenblum.

WHAT: Pit Stop Players: "Date Night"
WHEN: Monday, March 24, 2014 at 7:30 p.m.
WHERE: Leonard Nimoy Thalia at Peter Norton Symphony Space, 2537 Broadway at 95th Street.
TICKETS: $25 ($15 for Students and Members) at (212) 864-5400 or http://symphonyspace.org .
INFO: http://symphonyspace.org/event/8269/Music/pit-stop-players .

The instrumentalists will perform duets and other small group pieces by Reinhold Gliere, Marin Marais, Garah Landes, and Joshua Rosenblum, as well as new pieces composed especially for the Pit Stop Players by Steve Kenyon, Marc Phaneuf, and David Wolfson. In addition, the combined forces will play a new arrangement of the Electric Light Orchestra classic, "Livin' Thing." The married couples performing on this unusual night out together include Robin Zeh and Paul Woodiel (violins); Ed Matthew (clarinet) and Carlene Stober (viola da gamba); (cello) and (alto sax); Jeff Carney (bass) and Joyce Hamman (violin); Greg Landes (percussion) and Cynthia Wuco (soprano); and Joshua Rosenblum (piano) and Joanne Lessner (soprano). In addition, Steve Kenyon will be playing his own new composition for clarinet solo, inspired by a picture taken by his wife, photographer Ruth Margeson.

The Pit Stop Players is a genre-defying ensemble for contemporary music, comprised of some of New York's top freelance musicians, many of whom normally spend their evenings playing in Broadway pit orchestras. Founded in 2009 by conductor/composer Joshua Rosenblum, the Pit Stop Players gives these musicians a chance to climb out of the pit and take center stage, performing a stimulating and eclectic assortment of music from the worlds of contemporary classical, jazz, rock, fusion, film, and opera.

Repertoire includes arrangements and transcriptions of great pieces from the recent past (encompassing numerous genres), but the primary emphasis is on new compositions that are both challenging and immediately engaging, written and orchestrated specifically for the group by today's most exciting creative talents.

Since their first concert in February 2010, the Players have performed works by Bernstein, Bartok, Ginastera, Stravinsky, John Psathas, William Bolcom, Peter Schickele, Danny Elfman, Lennon/McCartney and Freddy Mercury, among others, as well as world premiere compositions by Steven Burke, David Chesky, Gary William Friedman, Steve Kenyon, Jamie Lawrence, Julian Rosenblum, Josh Schmidt, Michael Starobin, Fay Wang, and David Wolfson. Works that stretch or (even better) shatter the conventional boundaries between genres are especially encouraged.

The New York Times has praised the Pit Stop Players for their "flair, sprightliness, and precision" and their "playfully cohesive" programs. With their unique mission, exciting repertoire, and broad appeal, the Pit Stop Players have cemented their place at the cutting edge of New York's cultural landscape.

Jazz Vocalist Lenora Helm Hammonds to Perform in Concert with Durham Symphony Orchestra under Direction of Maestro William Henry Curry

Author: Lenora Helm Hammonds
Dateline: Durham, North Carolina (DURHAM, N.C.)  | Thu, 13 Feb 2014

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Gifted vocalist, educator and founder of the progressive programs Vocal Musicianship Academy and Vocal Jazz Online, Lenora Helm Hammonds, has received the coup honor of an invitation to be a featured singer in the program 'Durham Symphony Orchestra and All That Jazz.'”



ARTICLE:

Gifted vocalist, educator and founder of the progressive programs Vocal Musicianship Academy and Vocal Jazz Online, Lenora Helm Hammonds, has received the coup honor of an invitation to be a featured singer in the program "Durham Symphony Orchestra and All That Jazz."

"I am beyond ecstatic for the opportunity to work with Maestro Curry and the DSO. And, the icing on the cake is the privilege to sing an arrangement written for me by the very talented saxophonist/composer, Brian Horton. Wow! Pinch me, so I know I'm not dreaming!" says Helm.

The symphonic jazz concert will feature Helm singing the Benny Golson jazz standard "I Remember Clifford" (with strings) and a salute to Hamlet, N.C.-born John Coltrane via Rodgers & Hammerstein's "My Favorite Things" joined by Brian Horton (also a native of North Carolina) who wrote the arrangement.

The afternoon community event, which will showcase the works of historical North Carolina musicians and the state's Composer-of-the-Year Steven Bryant, takes place Sunday, March 2, 2014 at the Carolina Theater in Durham. This is quite an honor for Helm to be selected.

Though Helm has been a vocal professor at North Carolina Central University for several years, the lady actually hails from Chicago, Illinois. She is also currently working on her doctorate from Boston University.

Maestro William Henry Curry, Principal Conductor of the 68-member Durham Symphony Orchestra and a prominent African-American in this country's classical music realm, states, "Lenora Helm is a local treasure as an educator, artist and inspirational person. She introduced herself to me a year or so ago. I enjoyed two of her jazz recordings and have just been waiting for the perfect opportunity to feature her with the symphony. I'm thrilled she was willing and available for this."

Now celebrating his fifth year with the DSO and his 18th season with the North Carolina Symphony, Curry continues, "One of my missions on every program is to play at least one piece by an American composer. American audiences love American music even if you pair it with Beethoven. I've been a performer for more than 45 years so I know what the audience likes. I exhibited this kind of Third Stream fusion at my very first concert here as Musical Director in a program that featured Gershwin as well as Louis Moreau Gottschalk whose music used melodic cells from plantation music and spirituals alongside Chopin and Schuman - a sensation in Europe. American symphony orchestras should feature American composers. When audiences have an opportunity to witness it, they love it."

DSO Executive Director Mary Sherk details, "The genesis of this concert came a year ago. We realized the incredible connections between orchestras and jazz composed of people here in N.C. This concert will illuminate that for the public. It is important to note we could not have done this without a grant from the North Carolina State Arts Council to which we are grateful and indebted. Arts councils have been cutting back on the state level so this is great. It's a competitive process but they evaluated this as worthy."

Noting the escalation of the event, Brett Chambers, Board of Directors President of the Durham Symphony Orchestra enthuses, "This has turned into a bigger thing than was first pitched. The idea is to create community engagement with the orchestra instead of just giving a concert. People love the arts here so there will be a pre-concert chat and a meet and greet afterward. We are shooting for this to become a signature annual event."

Speaking on the participation of Lenora Helm, Chambers concludes, "I've seen her perform a number of times and also appreciate the way she works with students. I brought her in, Maestro Curry was impressed, Lenora suggested Brian Horton as an arranger and now he is on the program. She is a wonderful artist and human being whose sincerity and passion for all she does shines through in her music."

Durham Symphony Orchestra and All That Jazz also features singers Lois Deloatch and Rozlyn Sorrell, saxophonist Greg Gelb, jazz/classical bassist John Brown and his trio.

The Carolina Theatre is located at 309 West Morgan Street Durham, North Carolina.

Concert begins at 3 p.m. Sunday March 2 with a pre-concert chat at 2:30 p.m. with "Composer-of-the-Year" Steve Bryant. A meet and greet with Maestro Curry and other musicians will take place following the concert.

A new book, "The Artist's Guide to Success in the Music Business - 2nd Edition" (ISBN: 978-1608325788; Greenleaf Book Group Press) by Loren Weisman is now available in 26 different countries as well as an eBook edition (ISBN: 978-1608325795). Weisman's book delivers the "who, what, when, where, why, and how" of the steps musicians and bands have to take to succeed in music.

"It's not about the amount of time you put in, it is the way you spend the time on the work you need to get done. My goal for the book was to give people the ideas and methods that they can apply to be as productive as possible with as many aspects of the business as possible," says Weisman.

"The Artist's Guide" provides a roadmap for the artist's journey from passion to profession. The foreword was written by session guitarist, producer and writer Elliot Randall of Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers and Saturday Night Live fame.

Currently "on the road," doing a promotional tour, Weisman and the book stopped by Winter NAMM 2014 in Anaheim, this past weekend and will visit six states in February including the Millennium Music Conference in Pennsylvania and then head over the border to some stops in Canada.

To quote a review from John G Scott on PublishersNewswire.com - "Of all the valuable points to be made about 'The Artist's Guide,' let me especially praise the lists of questions and considerations that appear in almost every section. These can be of immense help for anyone faced with decisions on recording better songs, finding a manager or publisher, running a band, working with a songwriting partner, and creating marketing materials. There is a nice feel to the book - in urging you to ask these questions of yourself, Weisman seems to be coming from a good place."

In the book Weisman writes: I do not claim to have all the answers, but I do know you must take a hard, cold look at yourself, your music, your band, and what you are doing, while assessing those things you might need to change and those things that should remain the same. "This book will help you accomplish that," said John Scott G in his review.

As a music business consultant and speaker, Weisman works to help independent artists, musicians, bands, labels and businesses achieve sustainable success. Weisman is also the Spokesperson for the Musicians Community Artists Bridge - in its first phase of launch: http://artistsbridge.com/ .

What was it like to be in the recording studio as Michael Jackson created the iconic tracks for such monumental albums as "Thriller," "Bad," "Dangerous," "HIStory," and "Blood on the Dance Floor"? Truly dedicated fans will find out from two of the recording engineers who were there with MJ, Quincy Jones, and all the famous musicians as Matt Forger joins Brad Sundberg for the next "In the Studio with MJ" session scheduled for February 8, 2014, in Orlando, Florida.

Together and separately, Forger and Sundberg worked with Michael Jackson on studio recording sessions, video mixes, dance mixes, world tours, and more. In addition, Forger recorded and mixed "Captain EO," the groundbreaking film and music project that involved Jackson, Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas.

"Recalling some of the musical moments from the making of this legendary music will be great fun for us and should be enlightening for everyone who attends," Forger states. "It is going to be terrific to play some of the large number of mixes of tracks from all the projects we worked on. Brad and I have enjoyed so many different aspects of the creative process of Michael's singles and albums and it will be exciting to share them," Forger adds.

Sundberg has presented his "In the Studio with MJ" sessions all over the world and says he loves the "no script" approach that concentrates on the "stories, music and home videos" of many extraordinary sessions.

"With the presentations of music, videos, personal behind-the-scenes stories and photos, this is a unique opportunity for people interested in the music industry, and in Michael Jackson in particular, to see, hear and learn what it was like to work side-by-side with a true music legend," Sundberg states.

The event will be held in a professional recording studio and limited to 50 attendees. "This event is ideal for anyone who is a fan of Michael's music, or who is curious about how those albums were recorded and the staggering amount of tapes, tracks and time that was put into them," Forger notes.

"In The Studio with MJ" will take place from Noon to 8 p.m. on Saturday, February 8 at Starke Lake Studios, 275 North Lakeshore Drive, Ocoee, FL 34761. Tickets are $249, dinner included.

Children Celebrate Valentine’s Day in Song

Author: Ruth Roberts Music
Dateline: Los Angeles, California (LOS ANGELES, Calif.)  | Thu, 23 Jan 2014

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “When it comes time for February 14, Valentines Day, most people think of romance, flowers, candy, and candlelit dinners.

When it comes time for February 14, Valentines Day, most people think of romance, flowers, candy, and candlelit dinners. But children also celebrate by sending and receiving valentines, dreaming up DIY projects for their parents, siblings, and teachers -- and they are definitely pleased about the candy! Ruth Roberts Music also brings something sweet for the occasion.

"Children's parties are a way to celebrate this delightful holiday and that's where Ruth Roberts Music can help," states Susan Nicoletti, Director of Operations for Goldenrod Music, the publishing company overseeing Roberts' songs. She is pleased to direct parents and teachers to the album "Valentine Songs That Tickle Your Funny Bone," available on iTunes.

"When Ruth Roberts put the finishing touches on her series of children's albums for all major American holidays, she included Valentine's Day as worthy of celebration by the little ones," Nicoletti says. "Ruth knew how much children enjoyed a day that put love front and center, and she figured -- rightly so -- that they would want to celebrate it in song."

The songs in this collection are designed to be fun for everyone, even the very youngest family members. "Good old-fashioned sing-alongs never go out of style," Nicoletti adds. "And in addition to being cute songs, they are all Rated G for all audiences," Nicoletti states. She has an excellent idea of what "G-Rated" means because for 5 years prior to working with Ruth Roberts Music she was on the ratings board for the Motion Picture Association of America.

About Ruth Roberts:

Several songs by Ruth Roberts are known to every sports fan: "Meet the Mets," "It's a Beautiful Day for a Ball Game," and "Mr. Touchdown, USA." Her love songs hit the charts in recordings by Dean Martin, Debbie Reynolds, Theresa Brewer, Jimmy Dean, The McGuire Sisters, Patti Page, Vic Damone, Arthur Godfrey, Steve Allen and Eydie Gorme." Movie and TV viewers have heard Roberts' songs in "Yes Man," "The Benchwarmer," "A Dirty Shame," "Everybody Loves Raymond," "Seinfeld," and the Conan O'Brien show.

The Beatles recorded Roberts' song "Mailman Bring Me No More Blues," which is on the Anthology 3 album. But it is for children's music that Ruth Roberts may be best known, starting with her work with Bob Keeshan, who was the TV icon Captain Kangaroo.

"Teachers and educators can discover more about the many musicals written by Ruth Roberts for a K-through-grade-6 curriculum," states Nicoletti.
