Subject: Winston Jarrett & Wadi Gad on tour this January! Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2005 09:14:33 -0700 From: Amy Shapas Winston Jarrett & Wadi Gad on tour this January! Dandelion Productions is currently booking dates for a tour with the Studio One legend, Winston Jarrett & Wadi Gad from Boomshaka. Forty years ago, Winston Jarrett got his break when he was recruited by Alton Ellis to form a new harmony group, Alton & the Flames. They were soon recording a series of classic rock steady anthems, and went on to score an extraordinary number of chart hits. After recording many tunes for Duke Reid, the group was lured away by Sir Coxsone who produced more hits. Hundreds of titles later, Winston Jarrett has established himself as a legendary roots reggae performer with amazing stamina. Jarrett just recently released his latest album, Survival is the Game on Young Tree Records. This two-disc collection is the first ever gathering of Winston Jarretts music spanning over the last three decades and beautifully illustrates the progression of reggae music. Winston Jarretts music is still just as vital today and he remains one of reggaes true pioneers. The choice was either sports or music at an early age for Trinidad-born Wadi Gad. Music won out and over the past thirty years, the legendary drummer, singer, songwriter, producer and instructor continues to show the world that Wadi made the right choice all those years ago. Wadi Gads latest album, Give Love a Try, has just been released and is already receiving critical acclaim. According to Chuck Fosters review in the most recent issue of The Beat magazine, Wadi, comes as a full-force artist on this release in full studio regalia. Rasta Man, Give Love a Try, Wolf and Africa are among the standout tracks on this tour de force that should help establish once and for all an artist we on the West Coast have known about for years. 2005 finds Wadi Gad focusing on his solo singing and songwriting career with maximum concentration and intensity. Winston Jarrett and Wadi Gad will each be playing 90-minute sets on this tour, with Wadis band backing Winston. Interested in booking a date?

This summer Groundation completed a seven week, six country tour of Europes hottest reggae festivals, playing before crowds from 5,000 to 35,000 and sharing the stage with Zap Mama at Rototom in Italy and headlining after Black Uhuru at Summerjam in Germany. They are currently back in Europe for three weeks, then on to Brazil for the first time. When they return to the west coast, Groundation will reconnect with their California fans for two shows November 17 & 18th, then head to Hawaii November 30 through December 10th for eight more shows before heading home for some much needed relaxation. Internationally renowned reggae group Groundation emerged from the depths of the studio with their 4th album entitled We Free Again in November of 2004 to critical acclaim. The music was fresh and new proving once again that they were committed to the task of groundbreaking original music. Their previous release Hebron Gate received worldwide acclaim including a nomination for Germanys coveted World Music Award. For this most recent release Groundation united for the first time in reggae history Apple Gabriel (founding member of Israel Vibration) and Don Carlos (Black Uhuru). Groundation was founded in the fall of 1998 when three long time musicians Marcus Urani, Ryan Newman, and Harrison Stafford came together to form the core of the pioneering sound. They were later Joined in 2000 by San Francisco based Jazz trumpeter David Chachere and the North Bays Kelsey Howard on trombone. Groundation saxophonist Jason Robinson has gone on to become the head of the Jazz program at UC San Diego as well as breathing new life into the Southern California Jazz scene. Drummer Paul Spina (Les Claypool, Will Bernards Mother Bug) has been with the group since taking over from original set player James Stafford in December 2001. Groundation's first full-length dub CD is set to be released this fall online and in the stores by early winter. Dub Wars combines tracks from their two most recent studio albums Hebron Gate (dub versions originally released on the LP Dragon War YTR-1220) and We Free Again. These dub versions engineered by Jim Fox (Lion & Fox) and redubed by Groundation keyboardist Marcus Urani unearth the depth of the Groundation sound. Dub Wars North American release will once again be handled by the groups growing Bay Area record label Young Tree Records. Established in 2001 by lead singer Harrison Stafford and Kris Dilbeck the label has also released works from legendary Jamaican groups The Congos, Pablo Moses, and Winston Jarrett & The Righteous Flames. Harrison Stafford also taught the first University course on the History of Reggae Music (Sonoma State University 99-01).

His single "Nah Vote Again" was a major factor in making the Jamaican elections of Thursday, December 18, 1997, the most peaceful one since the insidious cancer of gun violence was introduced in West and Central Kingston, prior to the elections of 1967. Like his hero, Peter Tosh, the most revolutionary of the Wailing Wailers, he is an uncompromising Pan Afrikanist, in the tradition of Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Jamaica's first national hero and the founder and leader of the largest Afrikan organization ever, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Afrikan Communities League, U.N.I.A. and A.C.L. The traditional route of most Afrikan singers is via the church, and Anthony B is no exception. Growing up in Clarks Town in the parish of Trelawny (a parish noted for the heroic Afrikan freedom fighters, the Maroons, who defeated the English military), his Revivalist grandmother and Seventh Day Adventist mother immersed him in the singing, call and response, and clapping mechanics of rural Jamaica. In this rural environment that Afrikan culture is best found and preserved in Jamaica, not Kingston nor urban St. Andrew. Like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, The Maytals, Justin Hinds & The Dominoes, Twinkle Brothers, the Clarendonians and countless other Jamaican stars, Anthony B honed his vocal skills in the church and school choirs and then entered the secular world. His deejaying debut was on the local sound system Shaggy Hi-Power. Moving to Portmore in the parish of St. Catharine in 1988, the musically keen teen hooked up with other aspiring teenage deejays, Determine, Mega Banton, Ricky General and Terror Fabulous on Lovers Choice Sound. Other Portmore acts that he knew or flexed with were Little Devon, Agony Polish, Cobra, Baby Wayne, Grindsman, Ronnie Thwaites, Professor Nuts, and others. He steadfastly refused to deejay girl lyrics when they were ruling the roost in the early nineties. Patience is a virtue and good things come to those who wait. In combination with Little Devon (the Half Pint sound-a-like singer) he made his debut single "The Living is Hard" on the Wizard label in 1993. Anthony B tried King Jammys Black Scorpio and other studio producers after but none saw fit to help plant musical corn of the budding genius. Undeterred he was looking for a break at Black Scorpio studio one day when Little Devon introduced him to Afrocentric producer of Garnett "Mama Africa" Silk fame, Richard "Bello" Bell of Star Trail Label fame. The rest is history or blackstory! Recordings and releases followed quickly and his first hit was "Repentance Time". The bigger hits "Fire pon Rome", "Rumour" and "Raid di Barn" followed in quick pursuit and his landmark debut album Real Revolutionary was released to popular acclaim in 1996. Late 1997 his second worldwide album "Universal Struggle" was released and again excellence is consistent. The album is one of the best in Reggae for 1997 and 1998. Lyrically, thematically, and rhythmically versatile, the album encapsulates Afrikan consciousness and the Peter Tosh-like deliveries and clarity of vocals are indelibly present throughout. He was the most devastating deejay at Reggae Summits 1997, at Catherine Hall in Montego Bay, Jamaica - a consummate performer. Anthony B, indeed another Reggae king in full musical swing!! Soul Majestic is said to be one of North America's most powerful and promising reggae acts in years. Recently mentioned in The Beat Magazine, writer and radio DJ, Chuck Foster hailed them as poised to inherit the top US Reggae band mantle previously held by Blue Riddim and Inka Inka. The diversity in their range of fans demonstrates their ability to move the most hard-core reggae enthusiasts as well as a wider, more universal audience, and keep them dancing from start to finish. Influenced by old school Studio One style, conscious roots, dub, and cultural dance hall, the band takes what they have learned from their reggae heroes and funnels it into a unique sound all their own. Soul Majestic achieves this authenticity with their talented combination of players featuring bass and drums, keyboard/organ, lead and rhythm guitar, percussion and Nyahbingi drums. With charismatic vocalist Eric-I as the band's main front person and primary songwriter, the band keeps things fresh by featuring Soul Majestic's other vocal talents as well. They incorporate a strong female presence with Oriana and Diyay on leads and collaborations for a handful of tunes, and a dancehall edge with Bay Area freestyle artist Luv Fyah stepping up to chant between Erics vocal stylings. Lush harmonies from the bands two soul sisters, tight rhythm section, and energetic drum and bass vibes lend the perfect backdrop to this dynamic vocal blend. With emphasis on the music's power to convey a message, Soul Majestic's lyrics present a clear understanding of the human condition and address pertinent political issues. They have played at several prominent reggae and world music festivals including the 2004 Reggae on the River Festival, the 2003 Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, the 2004 and 2005 Bob Marley Day Festivals, 2002 and 2005 Monterey Bay Reggae Festivals, and the 2003 Earthdance Festival. In March and April of 2004 the band recorded their much-anticipated sophomore album "Until That Day" in Jamaica at the infamous Tuff Gong Studio, run by Bob Marley's family. They had the honor of working with legendary artists/producers Sly and Robbie, as well as vocal artist Anthony B, and percussion veterans Sticky Thompson and Bongo Herman.

The following is an important update regarding a major upcoming change to my webcast. As you'll notice, I'm actively seeking station spots from "my artists," some 50 or so of which are RAW members. Please contact me at DJBahilman@sky.fm. Creation Steppin' Radio was begun over 4 years ago as a hobby stream on Live365, but my emphasis on the best of classic and modern roots reggae struck a chord with a number of rootsmen and sistren out there, listeners who were much more numerous than I would have ever imagined. As such, the stream grew, and then grew some more. Approximately two years ago, I was forced to take the stream "pro," that is I became one of the few Live365 streams to take the step of paying their own royalties and licensing fees. In addition to the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth as well as other costs such as website maintenance, lately I've been shelling out close to $1,500 a month to meet the listener demand, which approaches 8,000 listeners on an average weekday, and totals nearly 200,000 listener hours a month (the 'net's #1 roots program). Listener donations and a smattering of ads have helped defray the costs somewhat, but most months I'm over $500 in the red. On top of that, my streaming provider- Live365- has experienced an unacceptable amount of technical difficulties during the past several months. These problems have been VERY frustrating, and combined with the growing costs had me wondering whether to continue, what to do, etc. My confience in Live365 as a long term entity has diminished, to be sure. Then, as always, Jah provided the way. I was contacted by the folks at Digitally Imported, who were interested in having me start a roots stream for their SKY.fm subsidiary. And after investigating the situation, I have whole-heartedly agreed to climb aboard. As a result, Creation Steppin' Radio will cease operations on or about Dec. 31st as I transition to the new program- SKY.fm Roots Reggae- creation steppin' with DJ Bahilman. What's in it for me? It's free! The bredren at SKY.fm are providing all the bandwidth and are giving me a 250 GB server to store tracks on, AND they're taking care of licensing, royalties, and all the other little tings. I'll also end up with more free time to work on the website, specifically album reviews, and to obtain and listen to new music. What's in it for the artists? A bigger audience. Through it's listings at iTunes and Live365, Creation Steppin' Radio was reaching thousands of daily listeners, but I expect this number to at least double at my new home. The new stream will be listed at iTunes AND on ShoutCast (crucial), and according to my surveys I can expect 98% of my Live365 listeners to follow me. This can only enhance exposure for modern roots artists. What's in it for the listeners? No more technical problems (stream down, etc.). Multiple bitrate streams, including aAC plus, and mp3 streams at 128k and ultimately higher. Plus low kbs Windows Media streams for dial-up users. No more using proprietary players...no more listener registration....basically no hassles for listeners, just click and listen. Also, my large new server will allow me to triple the number of tracks in rotation. You could go over 2 weeks without hearing the same song twice. Minimal ads. It's just all good. FWIW, I recommend using WinAmp. So, in the end I lose the Creation Steppin' Radio brand but I have a new home that's better for everyone. The Creation Steppin' website will live on, however, focusing on reggae news, album reviews, etc. What I'm asking from artists who are willing is to record a station spot (or 2 or 3!) for use in the new stream. My job only rarely allows me to venture out to festivals, so my chances for in-person contact are minimal, so I'm asking via e-mail. What I need are spots burned to CD, preferably at the highest sound quality you can (at least 320kbs mp3, 44100Hz). The spots can/should introduce the artist and possibly a new album, any personal message, and a mention of something along the lines of "you're listening to the best of classic and modern roots reggae on SKY.fm Roots Reggae (said Sky FM, no dot) with DJ Bahilman (pronounced Bah-HEEL-Mon)" or that they're creation steppin' to blah blah with me, etc. Whatever works, just get the basic info out there; feel free to be creative :) Station spots really help the listener connect to an artist and also make my stream appear "connected" or close to the artists. Many of you have been a large, large help as Creation Steppin' took off. I was and still am amazed at how artists can be willing to go out of their way for the little internet webcaster. But our efforts got roots reggae heard by 2 million listeners this year! That's the power of the internet. The power of our efforts is that Creation Steppin' was the #1 world music station in the world according to RadioWave monitor, and it's only going to get better. If you're able to record a spot or two, please mail them to: DJ Bahilman 579 Winn Road Scottsboro, Alabama 35769 Nuff Respect and Maximum Thanks in Advance- John Reichle RAW #1681 SKY.fm Roots Reggae www.sky.fm (coming any day) [9] *=*=*=*=*=*=*= *=*=*=*=*=*=*= *=*=*=*=*=*=*= >From: Ambassador David (R.A.W. #5) Subject: Papa Pete's - $100 Best Customs Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2005 10:38:51 EDT From: Davidbauma@aol.com Ambassador David's Productions 269-665-7483 "Your Caribbean Music Connection" Reggae Music "Special Music for Special People" Rastaman Nane Ambassador David's Pick Hope to see the posse at Papa Pete's Friday should be a FUN time.

But, this year I want to Thank Inner Visions Reggae Band. Ibve been in the music/Entertainment business for many years, through family and personal involvement behind the scenes. Reggae has always been in the forefront, being Jamaican you might say I cut my first teeth on the one-drop sound and the consciousness of the music. I was relaxed and content working behind the scenes. It was at Grasshopperbs insistent! That I do some work for them that brought me out of the shy closet, to being who I am now, Radio Personality in my own right. (not so shy) (smile). And the years have been more than a pleasure, when you work for a Band that is so loving and giving as the Inner Visions Reggae Band, it makes your day-to-day works in process always a joy! Tower of Strength they are. It has been a joy to see the Band Grow and Grow over the years, take on personnel transformations and still stay consistent with the chief message being that of Love! I will never forget the day that Mikey Dread called me up to work for him as hebd watched my work with Inner Visions! Man, that scared me! Stiff! I thought Mikey was too big for me to work for. So, after conferring with the Inner Visions Band Members getting their OK. I happily I trotted off to work also with a Jamaican Legend Mikey Dread whobs guided and taught us much, in regards to Entertainment Business as a whole, we are a family now and a happy family at that. (smile) Inner Visions jumped started our little Reggae family Unit. From Inner Visions to Mikey Dread to KNON 89.3 Irie FM Dallas- Reggae DJ Crew to our Association with the Worldwide media family. Especially in Denmark bHenrik Baek and DJ Super T in London, to my Sisters in Radio Lady Cham in Virginia and Carmelita in San Francisco, Irievision Worldbeat TV. What a wonderfully complete Reggae family I have in the Entertainment Business! All from my beginnings with the Inner Visions Reggae Band! Thanks to Grasshopper for pulling and pushing me up front!
