FROM RAGTIME TO ROCK & ROLL - Silver Honor Parents Choice Award, 2000 American popular music is a rich and exciting melting pot of many cultures. When I first started doing my program for elementary school age children, "From Ragtime to Rock & Roll", my idea was to introduce kids to some types of music they might not be familiar with: folk, old time, blues and jazz. I also wanted to show kids how the rock & roll and country music they listen to today is rooted in the European melodies and African rhythms of our country's ancestry. This recording covers music common among American people from 1750 to 1950; from the African slave ships and European immigration to the Civil War to the Great Depression to the birth of rock & roll. I have also included songs from There's a Rhythm to it All, a program I created with my husband, chiropractor-percussionist Dr. Joe Dockery, which explores music and rhythm in the world around us and in our bodies. Produced by Barbara Martin |

A DIFFERENT VIEW While Barbara has featured blues on her last three recordings, "A Different View" represents a departure from her country/folk slant to a focus on blues and jazz. Although she may have changed genres, Martin remains true to her acoustic songwriter roots, including 8 originals among the CD's 11 cuts. The recording is simply produced using all acoustic instruments. "A Different View" showcases
the talents of the Barbara Martin Trio. Bassist Steve
Wolf, of DC's popular Swing Speak, brings his producing
and bass playing skills that won Swing Speak the traditional
jazz recording WAMMIE for 1997. Half of the songs were
recorded at Wallie Cleaver Studio in Fredericksburg,
while the remaining cuts were recorded at the studio
of guitarist, Mac Walter, formerly with Deanna Bogart
Band, who doubles on engineering duties and lead and
rhythm guitar. Also featured are some of the DC area's
finest musicians, Robby Magruder, on drums and percussion,
Denise Carlson on violin and Gary Gregg on clarinet. |
