Saul & Ruby's holocaust survivor band [videorecording] / by Dreier, Saul,on-screen participant.; Lending, Tod S.,1959-film producerscreenwriterfilm director.; Sosnowicz, Chana,on-screen participant.; Sosnowicz, Ruby,on-screen participant.;
Saul Dreier, Ruby Sosnowicz, Chana Sosnowicz.Like many survivors of the Holocaust, after World War II, Saul and Ruby moved to America, started families and careers, grew old, and retired to South Florida. For them, retirement could have been the last chapter in their story. But then they decided to start a klezmer band, named the Holocaust Survivor Band. The band summons the bittersweet memories of childhood in Poland, but more than that, it is a celebration of life. In this utterly heart-affecting and enthralling film, we follow Saul and Ruby's musical journey, which begins in total obscurity, playing in residential homes for the elderly and small Jewish community organizations, to being invited to perform at venues across the country, including a coveted performance at the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage. This unique and compelling story is about having the courage to live one's dreams, finding purpose and meaning in life at any age, the transcendent power of music, and the importance of speaking out against anti-Semitism and bigotry.Not rated.DVD, region 1, widescreen presentation, Dolby Digital 5.1, stereo, English SDH.

Seven psalms [sound recording] / by Simon, Paul,1941-composer,producer,singer,instrumentalist.(CARDINAL)346199; Haddad, Jamey,instrumentalist.; Brickell, Edie,singer.; Voces8 (Musical group),singer.;
Produced by Paul Simon and Kyle Crusham.Paul Simon, vocals, guitars: acoustic guitar, hi-strung electric, Dobro and baritone; percussion: bells, gongs, frame drum, talking drum, gamelan, gobichard, Cloud-Chamber Bowls and bass harmonica; keyboards, etc: Glockenspiel, Chromelodeon and harmonium ; Jamey Haddad, Hadphoon, hadjira, gran casa bass drum and Almglocken (Swiss tuned bells) ; Edie Brickell, duets on "The sacred harp" and "Wait" ; Voces8 ; with additional musicians.Recorded entirely on acoustic instruments, and performed by Simon, this album showcases Simon's craft at its finest and most captivating, simply with his voice and guitar. Intended to be listened to as one continuous piece, the 33-minute, seven-movement composition transcends the concept of the "album". A stunning, intricately layered work, it's a record which establishes an engaging and meditative, hymnal soundscape, with Simon's lyrics providing the gravitational center for constellations of sound woven from guitar strings and other acoustic instrumentation, including choral elements. True to the origin of psalms as hymns meant to be sung rather than spoken. This album reaches back to the very genesis of folk music King David's Psalms. The result is a quietly moving musical experience which uncovers a wealth of subtle details with every repeated listen. A step apart from anything Paul Simon has released before.

Debbie Harry & Blondie : picture this / by Rock, Mick,author,photographer.(CARDINAL)738868; Harry, Debbie,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)726818;
Includes bibliographical references.A unique look at the collaboration between famed rock photographer Mick Rock and Debbie Harry--one of music's greatest stars--and the band Blondie. Blondie was the most successful rock act to emerge from New York's seminal and anarchic downtown punk scene of the mid-1970s--and the band's beautiful, multitalented lead singer, Debbie Harry, became one of the most photogenic and photographed rock performers of all time. During the same period, photographer Mick Rock lived and lensed cutting-edge culture in the city, shooting rock 'n' roll greats like David Bowie and Lou Reed. The artistic collaboration between Rock and Harry yielded iconic photos that transcended and transformed the public perception of rock 'n' roll imagery. This book--with a foreword written by Harry herself--explores in depth, both visually and verbally, the unique natural charm and charisma of Debbie's "punk Marilyn Monroe" persona in its prime, and her successful reinvention of that persona for Blondie's glorious comeback of recent years. Mick Rock provides a vivid, memorable account of his larger-than-life adventures behind the camera, revealing just what made Debbie Harry and Blondie so distinctive.

Burning down the house : Talking Heads and the New York scene that transformed rock / by Gould, Jonathan,1951-author.(CARDINAL)340764;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 450-483) and index.""Psycho Killer." "Take Me to the River." "Road to Nowhere." Few artists have had the lasting impact and relevance of Talking Heads. One of the foundational bands of downtown New York's 1970s music scene, Talking Heads have endured as a musical and cultural force for decades, their unique brand of transcendent, experimental rock a lingering influence on popular music-despite having disbanded over thirty years ago. Now on the 50th anniversary of the band's formation, acclaimed music biographer and contributor to The New Yorker Jonathan Gould offers the definitive story of Talking Heads-a band whose sound, fame, and legacy forever connected the avant-garde to rock music.From their art school origins, to the enigma of David Byrne, to theinternal tensions that ultimately brought them down, Gould tells the story of a band that emerged back when rock music was still young and unwittingly redefined the era's expectations of what a rock bandcould sound, look, and act like. At a time when guitar solos, lead singer swagger, and sweaty stadium tours reigned supreme, Talking Heads were pretentious, awkward, infectious, distinctive-most comfortable on the ragged stages of the East Village where they could make art for themselves, above all else. More than just a biography of a band, Gould masterfully captures the singular time and place that incubated and nurtured this original music-downtown in the 1970s-that much romanticized, little understood moment in New York City historywhen art, music, and commerce uneasily collided to cement the post-Woodstock generation of rock stars, often with messy results. What emerges is an expansive portrait of a band and a scene that permanently shifted the horizons of popular music, iconoclasts that pushed the cultural fringe into the mainstream and then burned down the house"-- Provided by publisher.
