On Saturday, June 21, Tim Ries and Bernard Fowler did an unforgettable
show at Chateau Montevidéu, in Campos do Jordão, near São Paulo, in
the Southeast region of Brazil. It was a single gig for 250 guests
with the sponsorship of Tim and LG. Brazilians had the chance to see
the Rolling Stones Project for the first time. Tim Ries has performed
in several countries between 2005 and 2007 with this project.
The climax of the show was Bernard?s performance of Wild Horses.
People gave him a big hand. Tim and Bernard played with the Brazilian
musicians from the Michel Freidenson Trio. At the end of the show, the
local musicians played samba, and Tim accompanied them by playing
clarinet.
"Thank you very much for the chance to play in Brazil, for the
opportunity to play with great musicians and for being able to mix
wonderful rhythms," said Tim thankfully before leaving the stage.
After the gig, Tim and Bernard talked to the fans, took many pictures
with the them and signed hundreds of autographs.
The show was so successful that the promoters of the event are
considering the possibility of inviting Tim Ries to promote his new
album, Stones World, during several new concerts in Brazil. The CD,
Stones World, must be released between the end of September and the
beginning of October.
Set list of the show: Honky Tonk Women, Baby Break Down, Wild Horses,
Street Fighting Man, Satisfaction, Ruby Tuesday and Jam Session (samba).

Chuck
Leavell Releases New Double Live CD May 13, 2008
Today Chuck Leavell releases his LiveIn Germany: The Green Leaves and Blue Notes Tour on Evergreen Arts,
distributed by RED/Sony.Chuck
started his “Green Leaves & Blue Notes Tour” in Europe after the Rolling Stones’ “A Bigger Bang” tour
finished in late August 2007, and he recruited some German musicians to play
with him. The band featured Paul Hochstader on drums, Christian Diener on bass,
Lutz Hafner on sax and Frank Kuruc on guitar. The drummer was recommended by
fellow Stones sideman Tim Ries. This concert was recorded on September 14, 2007 at Hessischer Rundfunk Studio 2 for the German radio station
HR1 for their “HR1 Live Lounge” program and the audience was made up of
contest winners.
Chuck
dabbles with a variety of original pieces such as “Tomato Jam” and
“Savannah” from his 2005 release “Southscape” and “Blue Rose” from
2001’s “Forever Blue”, classic covers like “Down The Road A Piece” and
Stones & Allman’s tunes such as “Honky Tonk Women”, “Rip This
Joint”, “Jessica” and “Statesboro Blues”. Chuck’s bluesy roots shine
through mixed with a touch of rock and roll and even southern jazz. Since Chuck
is often “behind the scenes” with the Stones, these cds highlight his honky
tonk piano brilliance and his strong lead vocals as well. Chuck billed this show
as one in which “the stars lined up for us” and stated that he had “one of
the best experiences” he has ever had at a live show.
Chuck admits to three passions, his
family, his trees and his music, and this tour was slated to raise awareness in Europe about the environmental challenges we all face.
In keeping with the green theme Chuck
reminds us that this cd is packaged using the natural, organic and renewable
source of wood. “Wood is Good”. The plastic trays are made from recycled
material.
If you’re a fan of Chuck and his
piano, you’ll love this set. Available from www.chuckleavell.com

The
Rolling Stones NY Premiere For Shine A Light
“Lead
Guitars And Movie Stars Get Their Tongues Beneath Your Hood”
By
Phyllis Pollack
The
New York premiere for the Paramount Classics film, Shine
A Light, the Martin Scorsese concert documentary about the Rolling Stones,
was held on Sunday, March 30, at Clearview’s Ziegfeld Theater on West 54th.
The
area was heavily secured, as fans stood across the street, trying to glimpse a
view of the band from afar. A tented entrance was constructed the day before the
premiere, to seclude the proceedings on the red carpet from those who were
outside, across the street, trying to watch the band enter the theater. Read

Martin
Scorsese And The Rolling Stones
Their
New York Shine A Light Press
Conference -
By Phyllis Pollack
The press conference
with the Rolling Stones and Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese, held
to promote the upcoming theatrical release of the documentary feature film, Shine
ALight, took place on March 30 in New York City, on the fourth floor
of the Palace Hotel. The room was filled to capacity, accommodating
approximately two hundred members of the press that included myself.
The event followed a
press lunch that was also held at the hotel. Members of the media were anxiously
queued up, awaiting to hear what the Scorsese, who had directed films including Italianamerican,Taxi Driver, The Last Waltz,
Raging Bull, The Color Of Money, The LastTemptation Of Christ, Goodfellas,
Cape Fear, Casino, Kundun,
Age OfInnocence and The
Departed, and who had worked as an assistant director in the seminal film Woodstock,
would have to say about working with the Stones. Needless to say, the members of
the media, who were present, were looking forward to hearing the imminent
statements that would soon be made by both the band and by the revered filmmaker.
The five icons,
filmmaker Scorsese, Rolling Stones vocalist Mick Jagger, guitarists Keith
Richards and Ronnie Wood, and drummer Charlie Watts entered the room. The
conference began with the introduction, “Ladies and gentlemen, Martin Scorsese
and the Rolling Stones,” to which they were greeted with extended,
enthusiastic applause.
The highly anticipated
media event lasted approximately twenty-four minutes, as the press conference
was cut shorter than expected. Therefore, a limited amount of questions were
allowed, due to the time constraint.
What transpired at the
press conference moved quickly, as the red carpet premiere would be held soon
after, just a few blocks away, at Clearview’s Ziegfeld Theater on West 54th
St.
