3 unharmed in crash landing near Fort Simpson
A pilot and her two passengers were cold but otherwise unharmed Monday after their small airplane had a rough landing near Fort Simpson, N.W.T.
Gospel Tonic
Ah, this is what’s needed on a chilly, late January Saturday, some gospel to get out of any winter funk. Today Tonic (6 p.m.) plays some gospel from Mavis Staples and Tangle Eye, and the first disc in three years from the Blind Boys of Alabama. (Though that recording leans more to the New Orleans jazz side — but still so soulful…) If there was an artist in that list you might not know, it was probably Tangle Eye, who remixed Alan Lomax’s field Southern field recordings on Alan Lomax’s Southern Journey Remixed. Contributing contemporary musicians include Meters bassist George Porter, Jr., Galactic guitarist Jeff Raines, pianist Henry Butler, old-time fiddler Dirk Powell, bluesman Corey Harris, keyboard work from Davell Crawford, trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis and bluegrass Dobro virtuoso Rob Ickes, and the recording was generally quite well received when it came out a few years back.
Gettin’ A Little Bit Country
You know the old joke, what do you get when you play a country record backwards? You get your wife back, your dog back, and your truck back… Well, what constitutes country music has broadened considerably since the era when there might be some truth to that stereotype (if there ever was). And today on In The Key Of Charles, Gregory finds country all over the musical map. He travels from Miles Davis to Shania Twain, from Gilles Vigneault to Fiction Plane, and from Buffy Sainte-Marie to the OSM. He ll also have recordings by Patsy Cline, Ray Charles, John Denver, Ella Fitzgerald, James Taylor, Norah Jones, Gordon Lightfoot, Chris de Burgh and Babe Ruth. Wait a minute, Babe Ruth? I’m assuming it’s the rock band, Babe Ruth, who really can hit it out of the park.
Happy Birthday Mr. M.
This week Sunday Afternoon In Concert (1:00) marks two birthdays. The toronto Symphony Orchestra and conductor Peter Oundjian honor Mozart s 252nd birthday (back in 1756) with a performance of his Symphony No. 35 (the “Haffner”). Argentine pianist Ingrid Fliter performs the solo part in the enchanting Concerto No. 23, and joins four of the TSO’s brilliant principal wind players for the Quintet for piano and winds. And then a composer of a rather different vintage than Mozart is f ted. Earlier this month Marjan Mozetich (pictured here) celebrated his sixtieth birthday, and his colleagues at Queen s University in Kingston, Ontario paid tribute to him. Sunday Afternoon in Concert was there to capture the event (as was the Kingston based branch of my family, who quite enjoyed the concert!) and Bill spoke to the composer, so you can hear both music and interview today. Mozetich is one of the countries best known contemporary composers — in 2002 and 2006 he was awarded the Jan Matejcek Award by the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN), which is presented annually to the Canadian composer of concert music whose music generates the largest amount of royalties. (Now there’s an interesting contest. I wonder if they publish the amounts? Probably not.) In 2001, his violin concerto, Affairs of the Heart was nominated for a Juno award. And as you know if you listen to Here’s To You, of a weekday morning, his works are regularly requested by listeners to that show. Today you’ll hear some of Mozetich’s chamber works, including the septet Procession and the Fantasy On A Lost Language. Should you miss it, this concert is also available as a Concert On Demand.

University Of Jazz
Today on Inside The Music (12:00), Part Three of About Oscar, Chris Brookes’ documentary series about the late Oscar Peterson. This episode recounts the aftermath of Peterson’s stunning 1949 debut at Carnegie Hall, touring with Jazz at the Philharmonic, and subsequent international recognition. Despite that international stature, and all the touring he did, Mr. Peterson continued to maintain strong ties to Canada though, and not just the big cities. I thought some might appreciate seeing this — an article about his connections to the city of London, Ontario, something I didn’t know about, but James Reany recalled recently in the London Free Press.
