RIP Suze Rotolo
US artist Suze Rotolo, the girlfriend of Bob Dylan during the early 1960s, has died aged 67.
Suze Rotolo will perhaps be best remembered by Dylan fans as the woman walking arm-in-arm with the famous songwriter on the iconic cover of The Freehweelin' Bob Dylan album, Rolling Stone magazine reported.
Just 17 when the pair began dating in 1961, Rotolo was the muse behind many of Dylan's early love songs, including Don't Think Twice, It's All Right, Boots of Spanish Leather and Tomorrow Is a Long Time.
Born and raised in Queens, Rotolo appeared in Martin Scorsese's 2005 film No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, a documentary which focused on Dylan's early career.
She died in New York on February 24 after a long illness.

Lincoln Stages It's Very Own Bob Dylan Birthday Show!
“Bringing It All Back Home”
The Bob Dylan Birthday Show
Tuesday 24th May 8pm Tickets £5.00
Lincoln Drill Hall Cafe/Bar, Lincoln Drill Hall, Free School Lane, Lincoln. LN2 1EY
Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman; May 24, 1941) has been an inspiration to musicians, songwriters and fans alike for five decades. A number of his songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'" became anthems for the US civil rights and anti-war movements. His early lyrics incorporated a variety of political, social and philosophical, as well as literary influences.
We are going to celebrate Dylan’s 70th birthday as well as his life and works on his actual birthday. It will take the form of a ‘pre-booked open mic’ type event where local musicians are invited to play their versions of two or three of their favourite Dylan songs.The event will be hosted by your very own Coffee Bar Cowboys and is presented in association with bluecrow music.
(Musicians who would like to pre-book a spot should email admin@bluecrowmusic.co.uk with contact telephone number)

Unreleased Weather Report
The 40th anniversary of the founding of Weather Report in 1971 brings several treats for the band's fans. Joe Zawinul's estate is to issue three previously unreleased live recordings by the group through 2011.
The first, on 28 March, presents a 41-minute broadcast performance from the Berlin Philharmonie in November 1975 featuring Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, Alphonso Johnson, Chester Thompson and Alex Acuña. Live in Berlin, 1975 (Art of Groove MIG80020) is a two-disc CD and DVD set. The same audio is also available in a special vinyl edition (MIG80021).
Next up, on the 30 May, is a complete live concert from Cologne in 1983 featuring Zawinul, Shorter, Victor Bailey, Omar Hakim and José Rossy. Titled Live At Rockpalast, Cologne 1983, it will be available in two separate versions – 2CD (MIG80052) and DVD (MIG80057).
The last release, for the latter part of 2011, is a complete live concert from Offenbach in 1978 by the band with Jaco Pastorius and Peter Erskine. Live At Rockpalast, Offenbach 1978 is also in two versions – 2CD (MIG80092) and DVD (MIG80097). The video has been issued before, as part of the Forecast Tomorrow box set, but this the first discrete issue of the audio.
The recordings will be distributed in the UK by Proper Note.

John Renbourn: new album & signature guitar
Available now is a new album from guitar supremo John Renbourn. Entitled 'Palermo Snow' the set consists of guitar solos, overdubbed duets, pieces for clarinet and bass clarinet. John says it 'is a little more harmonic/romantic than I have attempted in the past.' Early listens also reveal a tasty bit of jazz/swing. And it isn't long now before you can catch him in concert as he hits the road with long-time collaborator Robin Williamson in April.
In other news, guitar fans take note, John is soon to be honoured with a Martin Signature Model. The basic design is the OM 21S, a beautiful fingerstyle guitar in its own right but there will be numerous variations. Anticipation is high, so for those who can't wait for more detail John has supplied a contact on his website to learn more about the specifications.

100 Club Saved By Converse?
But the Converse shoe company - which, it should be remembered, has made special edition plimsolls featuring The Ramones, AC/DC, The Clash and Nirvana - has stepped up to keep it open, meaning that stretching ahead once more is a full programme of rock, jazz, punk and more (Sick On The Bus and Drongos For Europe play a double-header there on March 24!).
"Converse and the 100 Club both share a love for music and this partnership is a great opportunity to reunite the 100 Club with a generation who experienced history inside its walls," said Converse in a statement, "as well as introduce it to a new generation with a vow to bring the best in music to its legendary stage."
Owner Jeff Horton has assured London radio station XFM that the shoe company's corporate presence will be discreet. But MOJO wonders, will the new partnership keep the Working Men's Club décor - unchanged since 1973.
We will just have to wait and see what happens!

Big Plans For Robert Johnson's 100th Birthday
Legacy Recordings plan to celebrate Robert Johnson's 100th birthday in a big way. Here is the news: May 8, 2011, marks the 100th birthday of Mississippi Delta blues-man Robert Johnson, who, according to legend, sold his soul down at the crossroads of Highway 61 and Highway 49 in a midnight bargain that has haunted the music world for three-quarters of a century.
The 'deal' brought forth Johnson's incandescent guitar technique and a run of 10-inch 78 rpm singles for the Vocalion, Oriole, Conqueror and Perfect labels recorded in San Antonio in 1936 and Dallas in 1937.
Those songs have become a cornerstone of Columbia Records' identity, and will be celebrated on two Centennial releases from Columbia/Legacy, a division of Sony Music Entertainment.

Happy Birthday Bob Marley - Now For The Movie!
The man compressed into his short life what millions of other mortals could not achieve in a hundred years.
It is therefore fitting that, 30 years after his death, The Prophet is being commemorated in a movie by Kevin Macdonald, the British director who gave us The Last King of Scotland.
It has been a long, arduous struggle to capture the life and times of Robert Nesta Marley on celluloid - even the likes of Martin Scorsese found the challenge too daunting. Jonathan Demme also pulled out of the project after producer Steve Bing was said to have been less than impressed by Demme's work.
A report in the Los Angeles Times confirmed this week that it was now all systems go for the comprehensive documentary.
"Titled Marley and set for a release this summer, the movie will examine the brief, creative life of the reggae pioneer ... by interviewing many of the figures in and around him, as well as using archival material. The film will examine 'the life, legacy and global impact of a true legend', said a statement from the producers, Tuff Gong Pictures, Shangri-La Entertainment and Cowboy Films," the newspaper reported.
The movie is due for release later this year to coincide with a series of concerts and re-releases of his music to mark the 30th anniversary of his death.
