Nick Carswell “Changing Shades” +
Laurel Morgan Parks & Sascha Groschang of The Wires
+ Molly McLaughlin & Turlach Boylan

1. “It’s Showtime Folks”
from: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to All That Jazz / Casablanca / December 20, 1979
[WMM’s theme song]

2. Marvin Gaye – “Where Are We Going? (Alternate Mix 2)”
from: You’re the Man / Motown – Universal Music / March 29, 2019
[You’re the Man is a posthumous studio album by American singer Marvin Gaye, originally intended to be released in 1972 as the follow-up to What’s Going On. It was released on March 29, 2019 to celebrate what would have been Gaye’s 80th birthday on April 2, 2019. The album includes the single of the same name, as well as the intended original album in full and other songs Gaye recorded at the time. Salaam Remi’s remix of “My Last Chance” was released in promotion of the album on February 8, 2019.You’re the Man was intended as another socially conscious record like What’s Going On (1971), but following the release of its lead single, the title track “You’re the Man”, Gaye cancelled its release. This was in part due to the reception of the song, as well as the fact that Gaye’s political views were different from those of Motown founder Berry Gordy. For these reasons, You’re the Man was long considered a “lost” album. 15 of the 17 songs have not previously been released on vinyl, but most were made available on CD compilations over the years. The album includes a longer take of “I Want to Come Home for Christmas”, which was first made available in 1990 after being recorded in 1972. The physical release of the album includes liner notes written by David Ritz. “Where Are We Going?” was written by Larry Mizell and Larry Gordon.]

3. Mattiel – “Keep The Change”
from: Satis Factory / ATO Records / June 14, 2019
[Bringing a whole new meaning to the term one-(wo)man band, Atlanta-based Mattiel Brown writes her own music, directs her own visuals and even designs her own sets. Oh, and when she’s not busy with her music career you can find her at her side-hustling as a set designer, illustrator and designer. Having grown up in quiet rurality in Georgia working on her mother’s farm, these creative sensibilities offered a young Mattiel endless escapist opportunities. Dreaming of far away lands and wild worlds, it was upon stumbling across her mum’s record collection (the likes of Donovan, Peter Paul and Mary, and The Monkees) that things really began to click and she discovered the transportive power of music.]

4. The Sextet – “Colors of the Wind (feat. Calvin Arsenia)”
from: Blob Castle / The Sextet / October 7, 2017
[After the release of The Sextet’s debut album, In a Natural State from July 2016, bassist and bandleader Robert Castillo moved from the Pacific Northwest back home to Kansas City. Castillo reconnected with high school friends and other musicians to reform the group and continue performing his compositions and arrangements. Blob Castle showcases not only the talent of musicians bred in a jazz city, but also the diversity and growth of Castillo’s writing. From the Latin groove tune “La Mona,” written for Robert’s mother to the somber ballad “Maggie” written in memory of a friend, this album goes beyond genre barriers to explore the paths of improvisational music. The former album was funded through a Kickstarter campaign in which a reward for donating was a Castillo original composition. On this album you’ll hear these commissioned pieces which include “TC,” “be,” and “#notmypresident.” The album flows from one mood/emotion to the next, taking the audience through a journey through Robert’s imagination. Facilitating the flow are band members Teddy Krulewich on trumpet, Max Levy on tenor sax, Trevor Turla on trombone, Peter Marten on guitar, and Fritz Hutchison on drums. Mixed and mastered by Duane Trower at Weights & Measures in KCMO. The current line up includes: Joe Tesoro on soprano sax, Max Levy on tenor sax, Aryana Nemati on baritone sax, Pete Marten on guitar, Nik Douglas on drums, and Robert Castillo on bass, and composer. The Sextet is getting set to release their third album “Among Friends” in the Fall of 2019]

[The Sextet play Jazz Night at The Ship, 1217 Union Ave, West Bottoms, on Sat, May 11, at 10:00 PM]

7. Stereolab – “International Colouring Contest”
from: Mars Audiac Quintet / Elektra / August 8, 1994
[Expanded Edition Reissued May 3, 2019]
[One of several new reissues remastered from original tapes, with a bonus disk of unreleased demos, outtakes and alternate mixes. Co-released by band’s own label Duophonic UHF Disks and Warp Records. In February 2019, the group announced a tour of Europe and North America to coincide with expanded, remastered reissues of several of the albums. Stereolab were an English-French avant-pop band formed in London in 1990. Led by the songwriting team of Tim Gane and Lætitia Sadier, the group’s music combined influences from krautrock, lounge and 1960s pop music, often incorporating a repetitive motorik beat with heavy use of vintage electronic keyboards and female vocals sung in English and French. On stage, they played in a more feedback-driven and guitar-oriented style. The band also drew from funk, jazz and Brazilian music, and were one of the first artists to be dubbed “post-rock”. They are regarded among the most innovative and influential groups of the 1990s. Mars Audiac Quintet is the third studio album by English-French rock band Stereolab. It was released on August 8, 1994 in the United Kingdom by Duophonic Records and in the United States by Elektra Records. During the recording of the album, guitarist Sean O’Hagan left as a full-time member to tour with the High Llamas, while keyboardist Katharine Gifford was added.The song “International Colouring Contest” is a tribute to Lucia Pamela, and samples her voice in the intro. Stereolab: Lætitia Sadier on vocals & guitar, Mint’s organs, & tambourine; Tim Gane on guitar, bass, Vox, Farfisa organs, & Moog synthesiser; Duncan Brown on bass; Katharine Gifford on Vox, Farfisa organs, & Moog synthesiser; Mary Hansen on vocals, guitar, tambourine, & egg shaker; Sean O’Hagan on slide guitar, marimba, & brass arrangements; and Andy Ramsay on drums, percussion.] [The last Stereolab release we remember was 2010’s Not Music on Drag City Records. It was their 12th album, released during the band’s self – imposed hiatus from recording and touring. The tracks were recorded in early 2007. Half of the recordings were released in 2008 on their release “Chemical Chords.” It was reported that the recordings began when band member Tim Gane started messing with ‘a series of about seventy tiny drum loops’ on top of improvised chord sequences using piano and vibraphone. “building them up from there – later slowing the tracks down or speeding them up – it was a totally new way of doing songs for us”. The band createdm all the tracks in their studio, Instant Zero, in Bordeaux, France.]

The Wave (A Reckoning) written by Nick Carswell

Where to start? Where do I begin?
I’ve played my part for all the good it’s been
And the stars grow dim
High above me

We all laughed, what a joke it’s been
I’ve sold my lot, all but given in
But still the din
Is rising
above me
All at once
It overcomes me

But here I am at the end
On the outside looking in
I see a friend
I watch the pendulum swing

My body’s bruised
The air is thin
On my back
I’ve been carrying
the greed and sin
of those before me
But now a reckoning
A wave is forming

So here I am at the end
On the outside looking in
I feel the weight
I watch the world caving in

Here am I, All I’ve lost is what I’ve given in
I feel the end
I’m ready to begin

PRESS RELEASE: Lawrence-based Musician Launches New Multimedia Performance Inspired by his Immigrant Experience. “Changing Shades” is a new electro-acoustic project from Irish immigrant and musician Nick Carswell

LAWRENCE, KS MARCH 20, 2019:
Lawrence-based musician Nick Carswell will debut a new multimedia work inspired by his experience as an immigrant in the United States, with concerts at the Kansas City Irish Center (May 10th) and the Lawrence Arts Center (May 11th). The new project is a departure from the usual genres Carswell has previously released work in and combines his recent experience with multimedia public art and a new body of electro-acoustic music. The Lawrence and Kansas City concerts will be accompanied by guests Maria Cuevas (formerly Maria The Mexican) and Bolivian multi-instrumentalist, Amado Espinoza, respectively. Tickets for both concerts are $10 and performances begin at 7pm.

Changing Shades: An Immigrant’s Story of Confusion & Belonging will consist of 10 songs, each accompanied by lighting, projection and stage design, creating a unique visual canvas to accompany the music. The projected was supported by an ArtsKC Inspiration Grant which funded the purchase of electronic music and lighting equipment to expand the music performance into an immersive multimedia presentation.

“This is definitely new ground for me,” Carswell explains. “The project combines some new tools I’ve been quietly working with over the last several years, with themes that have been kind of weighing heavy recently. This combination called for a different kind of presentation.”

The new works focus on the theme of “belonging” and draw upon Carswell’s experience living as an Irish immigrant for 8 years in the U.S. Songs deal with his own sense of shifting cultural life.

10. MorMor – “Some Place Else”
from: Some Place Else – EP / Don’t Guess – AWAL Records / May 3, 2019
[Artist, Singer-Producer, multi-instrumentalist, born and raised in Toronto. MorMor writes, records, produces most of his own work. He tells pigeons and planes, “A lot of my inspiration stems from wanting to share a perspective of Toronto that I feel hasn’t been represented,” he says. “I’m glad Toronto is getting a lot of attention right now, but my experience of the city that has shaped me isn’t really part of the story yet.” he goes on to say, “I always felt different from the other kids at school. I went through a really hard time because I was the kid who always hung out with a wide variety of people. I kept searching for kids like me, but it never happened. In the end it gave me some good perspective. I was a pretty rebellious person when I was young. I had a problem with authority. I was reluctant to take orders if I didn’t believe in the cause. I might be the only kid who got suspended in the first grade. Music was something that I could escape through.]
