Blues Masters Elvin Bishop and Charlie Musselwhite Pair Up on New Record

Blues Masters Pair Up on New Record
Pacific Sun have reported that Rock & Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Elvin Bishop and Blues Hall of Fame harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite have teamed up and released a new record.
Since crossing paths and becoming friends, Bishop and Musselwhite have become musical compatriots, touring together since the 1980s in addition to touring with their own bands. They have also each continued to create critically acclaimed, award-winning music on vinyl. Though, they’ve never released a record together, until now.
On Friday, Sept. 25, Elvin Bishop and Charlie Musselwhite make their debut as a recorded duo with the release of their first collaborative LP, 100 Years Of Blues.
“This is us sitting down to play the music that we love and resonating together effortlessly because we’re coming from the same place on many levels,” Musselwhite says in a statement. “We see things pretty much the same. Musically it’s like falling off a log. It’s so easy and it just makes sense.”
“100 Years of Blues” is available digitally and on CD on Friday, Sept. 25, via Alligator Records. alligator.com.

The Kanneh-Masons hope to demystify classical music

 The Kanneh-Masons hope to demystify classical music.

The BBC reports that they may be among Britain's most gifted musical siblings, but the Kanneh-Masons insist they are just like any other family.

"We were playing a lot of football over lockdown," says eldest brother, violinist Braimah, 22. "There were a lot of disputes over whether the ball had crossed the line or not. I'd say when we are playing a game that's when the arguments start."

Mariatu, 11, a cellist and pianist, says being the youngest - and the shortest - definitely has its drawbacks, especially in the kitchen at the family home in Nottingham.

"I'm quite small and everyone just barges past me and it's quite stressful sometimes and people always pull me aside by my head which I find annoying."

When they are playing music, however, the classically trained brothers and sisters are, according to sister Isata, 24, "more respectful".

"We slip into a more professional mood," says the pianist who earlier this month made her BBC Proms debut at the Royal Albert Hall.

Now they have come together to record their first album as a family, Carnival, which will be released by their record label Decca on 6 November.

"It felt like a lovely thing to make a recording at the ages that we are now, as a snapshot of where we are at the moment," says cellist Sheku, 21, who played at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

But there was another reason. They decided they wanted to record Carnival of the Animals, by the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns. The musical suite of movements is dedicated to animals including lions, elephants and fish.

Sheku, who was the first black winner of the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition in 2016, explains why.

"We all grew up listening to albums like Peter and the Wolf (Sergei Prokofiev's symphonic fairy tale) as children. We remembered being so inspired by that and so we wanted to make our version."
