David Bowie
Born:
David Robert Jones was born in Brixton on January 8, 1947. At age 13, inspired by the jazz of the London West End, he picked up the saxophone and called up Ronnie Ross for lessons. Early bands he played with – The Kon-Rads, The King Bees, the Mannish Boys and the Lower Third –provided him with an introduction into the showy worlds of pop and mod, and by 1966 he was David Bowie, with long hair and aspirations of stardom rustling about his head. Kenneth Pitt signed on as his manager, and his career began with a handful of mostly forgotten singles and a head full of ideas. It was not until 1969 that the splash onto the charts would begin, with the legendary Space Oddity (which peaked at #5 in the UK)

All About Music—My AAJ Experience
by Alan Bryson
Music & Taste Music and food have a lot in common. Variety is the key--without it, even the best prepared food loses its appeal. It is telling that we speak of “musical taste," even though we experience music through our ears. Genres like jazz and classical music weave together themes, patterns, harmonies, and mathematical ...
Catherine Russell, Sean Mason: My Ideal
by Angelo Leonardi
Un album come questo può nascere solo dall'amore per i tesori nascosti del songbook statunitense. E l'amore vero, si sa, non fa calcoli. Sulla carta è ampiamente controcorrente (o se preferite demodé) e quindi fuori mercato per la sua scelta di escludere quasi completamente brani in grado di sollecitare la memoria del pubblico. L'unico ...

by Katchie Cartwright
Ryan Keberle began to study music at age four in Spokane, first at the piano with his mother, Ann, followed by Suzuki violin lessons.
