A CD release party for "14 Nights" will take place at 7:30 tonight at the Madison Theater, Covington. The party will benefit VH1's Save the Music Foundation and LINKS (Lonely Instruments for Needy Kids). Performing will be Langus, Jake Speed, Greg Mahan, Maurice Mattei and the Graveblankets ($12, includes the CD with proceeds going to the charities). They are just a few of the artists featured on the 14-cut local music showcase release. Others include Ryan Adcock, the Stardevils, Tonefarmer, Tracy Walker and Homunculus. All the performances come from the cable show that airs live each Friday at 8:30 p.m. for Northern Kentucky viewers on Insight Communications' CPC 21. In Greater Cincinnati the Friday show repeats 11:30 p.m. Thursdays on Time Warner metro channel 24. The show has featured some 150 local artists in its five years. Time Warner initially hooked up with "City Nights" producer Jason Dudas in looking for local music videos. "We wanted to get some music videos for our Web site ( www.aroundcinci.com ) of local performances," said Rob Howard, director of public affairs branding for Time Warner. "'City Nights' had always wanted to do a release of their performances but didn't really have the resources. We suggested Time Warner finance the program if we could let the proceeds go to the musical charities." Boogie woogie summit: It's the convening of the boogie woogie piano wizards at the fifth annual Blues & Boogie Piano Summit 9 p.m. Saturday at the Southgate House, Newport ($12.) The event is the labor of love of local piano man Ricky Nye, who has again put together an outstanding lineup representing the best of the genre. Headlining will be Ann Rabson, cofounder of "Saphire -- The Uppity Blues Women" along with Barrelhouse Chuck, Charlie Booty and Nye. Nye again plans to record the event for his CD series documenting the sessions.

Info is up there about the annual thanksgiving performances, as well as Chris Arduser's Hostage and Rob Fetters' Lefty Loose Righty Tight being available at CD Baby. Unfortunately, I received a big grant from the National Academy of Sciences to study abroad. This means that when you guys will be listening to "Copy Machine" live, I'll be in Warsaw, working on fuzzy databases. So have a thanksgiving mojito for me, and scream at the top of your lungs for the balloon trick.

Nye, Cincinnati's ambassador of boogie-woogie, hosted his fifth Blues & Boogie Piano Summit Saturday at the Southgate House for a turnout of over 300 people. Piano players from as far as Europe have come to Newport to participate in the annual event. This year's bill, which as always included Nye, featured four Americans and had more of a bluesy feel than the straight boogie-woogie the European players favor. Charlie Booty, Barrelhouse Chuck and Ann Rabson rounded out the lineup. Each performer did his (or her) own set before a free-for-all finale of all four players on two baby grands. Booty kicked off the four-hour event. The 75-year-old resident o Milan, Tennessee proved the most faithful of the foursome to the boogie-woogie tradition, rolling through a set of solo instrumentals. He never strayed far from the melody on a tried-and-true version of "Deep Elem Blues" and played it equally cool on the boogie tribute to Big Maceo, "Maceo Stomp," and Booty's own piano-roll blues composition, "Euro Blues." Nye came next. Who in town consistently puts on more entertaining performances than Ricky? And, of course, it was Ricky who rocked the hardest on this night. Backed by a Cincinnati rhythm section of bassist Nick Lloyd and drummer Tony Franklin, Nye ran through Hersal Thomas' "Suitcase Blues," eased through a nice-and-slow "C.C. Rider," and finished things off with the piano jump-blues standard "Roll eem Pete" and Nye's own "Creole Blues." Barrelhouse Chuck is a Columbus native who went to Chicago to learn from and live among legends. He set incorporated lessons taught in the Windy City clubs: licks from the likes of Little Brother Montgomery, Otis Spann, Sunnyland Slim and Pinetop Perkins, with songs ranging from the lesser known Floyd Jones's "Any Old Lonesome Day" to Howlin' Wolf's larger-than-life "Sitting on Top of the World." Rabson, one-third of the blues-revivalist group Saffire - the Uppity Blues Women, was the most successful of the performers at pounding a unique personality out of piano blues. She likes to have fun, as her penchant for Huey "Piano" Smith and her gender-flipped take on "Three Hundred Pounds of Joy" proved. In fact, she tackled the problem blues singers with good lives have in a song she wrote called "He Really Makes It Hard for Me to Sing the Blues." ++ psychodots ++ Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2003 20:51:41 -0500 From: Mary Bosken Subject: Bucket show!
