Settled In Shipping: Changing landscapes

http://settledinshipping.blogspot.com/2012/12/changing-landscapes.html

The process and progress of pianist/composer/arranger David Ryshpan. Monday, December 10, 2012. Tonight marks the final hurrah of L'Envers. In its physical location of 185 Van Horne. Since trumpeter Ellwood Epps started this adventure upon his arrival in Montreal, L'Envers has served as the hub for creative music, experimental music, musique actuelle. The first was Jai Nitai Lotus. Album launch for his début solo record, Something You Feel. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Promote Your Page Too. Follo...

Settled In Shipping: FIJM 2013: Wrapup and wishlist

http://settledinshipping.blogspot.com/2013/07/fijm-2013-wrapup-and-wishlist.html

The process and progress of pianist/composer/arranger David Ryshpan. Tuesday, July 09, 2013. FIJM 2013: Wrapup and wishlist. Like many others, I wrapped up my Jazz Fest drenched in the rain watching Amadou and Mariam outside. This was the only headline show on the mainstage that I saw this year, and after lukewarm reviews (at best) of the other big outdoor blowouts, these Malian masters proved what those shows need to be: groovy, upbeat, joyous music that unites the whole city.

Settled In Shipping: FIJM 2014 Day 4: Do You Feel

http://settledinshipping.blogspot.com/2014/07/fijm-2014-day-4-do-you-feel.html

The process and progress of pianist/composer/arranger David Ryshpan. Tuesday, July 01, 2014. FIJM 2014 Day 4: Do You Feel. Richard Spaven, and Talia Billig on backing vocals. James has long surrounded himself with strong female collaborators, and Billig is a worthy addition to that list. Too bad much of her backing vocals got lost in the mix – she was often low in her register and hard to distinguish from James and Dorsey. And No Beginning No End. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Settled In Shipping: FIJM Day 9: Migrations

http://settledinshipping.blogspot.com/2013/07/fijm-day-9-migrations.html

The process and progress of pianist/composer/arranger David Ryshpan. Sunday, July 07, 2013. FIJM Day 9: Migrations. As hard as I tried to be on time, I walked into Laurent de Wilde's set about fifteen minutes late, just as he beginning "New Nuclear Killer" from his recent album, Over the Clouds.

Settled In Shipping: Historicity and deep songs

http://settledinshipping.blogspot.com/2013/10/historicity-and-deep-songs.html

The process and progress of pianist/composer/arranger David Ryshpan. Friday, October 04, 2013. Historicity and deep songs. I've stayed out of the fray of this Vijay Iyer/Kurt Rosenwinkel/Macarthur brouhaha, but Rosenwinkel's most recent backtracking-of-his-backtracking has got me riled up enough to write about it. If you have no idea to what I am referring to, clearly you do not follow jazz musicians and writers on Twitter - Peter Hum encapsulates it nicely here. Rosenwinkel just posted this on Facebook:.

Settled In Shipping: From the French Quarter to le Quartier Latin

http://settledinshipping.blogspot.com/2013/04/from-french-quarter-to-le-quartier-latin.html

The process and progress of pianist/composer/arranger David Ryshpan. Sunday, April 21, 2013. From the French Quarter to le Quartier Latin. The most striking thing is that every club I went to in New Orleans was a pleasant listening experience, on multiple levels. Every club had a diligent sound man on hand. I think I heard feedback once at d.b.a,. And that was it. Every club also had great sightlines and a layout that directed one's attention to the stage. Even from the very back of Maison.

Settled In Shipping: FIJM 2013 Day 7: Belleville rendezvous

http://settledinshipping.blogspot.com/2013/07/fijm-2013-day-7-belleville-rendezvous.html

The process and progress of pianist/composer/arranger David Ryshpan. Friday, July 05, 2013. FIJM 2013 Day 7: Belleville rendezvous. I caught a snippet of vocalist/percussionist Christine Salem, from Réunion. I'm not familiar with the music of that island but the percussive momentum and her deep, rich alto intoning what sounded like traditional chants was a welcome introduction.

Settled In Shipping: If I don't have this all worked out, still I'm getting closer

http://settledinshipping.blogspot.com/2013/12/if-i-dont-have-this-all-worked-out.html

The process and progress of pianist/composer/arranger David Ryshpan. Wednesday, December 04, 2013. If I don't have this all worked out, still I'm getting closer. The announcement that Billy Joel would be the first "music franchise" at Madison Square Garden. Brought back a flood of childhood musical memories. I clearly remember hearing 52nd Street. In hindsight, I'm sure having Freddie Hubbard on loop as a toddler irrevocably rewired my brain. I've long credited Dave Brubeck's Time Out. Is, but this.

Settled In Shipping: Tough kids don't stop trying to kick me to the ground

The process and progress of pianist/composer/arranger David Ryshpan. Friday, March 28, 2014. Tough kids don't stop trying to kick me to the ground. And its tentacles, nor the vast net of talent that the Kalmunity Vibe Collective. However, the past couple of years have made it extremely difficult to continue as a creative artist and musician here in Montreal. From noise complaints. And the resulting venue shutdowns to the death of renowned alt-weeklies and other media outlets. To be "less alternative and ...
