The ultimate rock ‘n’ roll quiz. If you’ve heard of Big Star, you definitely know rock ‘n’ roll. It was the music behind the music of many great bands in the 70s.
Big Star had some strong advocate among reviewers, and they (particularly Chilton) wrote great tuneage, but they were really just one of many. They’re probably best known from the use as the theme to “That 70s Show” — the show creator is no one I’ve met, but we’re very nearly the same age.

I would call them the ultimate cult band. All three of their albums are in Rolling Stones top 500 albums of all time… and nobody has heard of them.

1987: Alex Chilton, later of Big Star, talks to “Entertainment Tonight” about his #1 hit song with the Box Tops, “The Letter.” Alex was just a teenager when the song was recorded in Memphis. Producer Dan Penn also recalls working on the track on this segment.

I used to borrow the latest Rolling Stone from the desk at the dorm and read it, often before heading to dinner. My first encounter with their very existence was a PR piece masquerading as a review (those who can’t do, review) that started with the claim that, if the band went over a cliff tomorrow in their equipment truck, they’d still be one of the greatest bands ever, some such ****. :^) I like ‘em, I’ve got two of their albums on CD, nice pop hooks, but again, top half of a very large class.
The story is more than their music. They are self-produced and all original. They literally had the keys to the studio and after everyone had left they produced one of the greatest rookie albums of all time. Everyone, including Rolling Stone, thought that they were a sure thing after hearing it. Unfortunately it was an anachronism. It was both too late and too early. It was Indie music 30 years before Indie was popular, and it was a few years late for anti-war themes and power anthems. It was also amateurish precisely because it was produced by Chilton/Bell who were 20 and 21 respectively. Despite all of that it was a monumental achievement.

Thought I'd try to knock this one out while I had the mic set up & the guitar tuned down for Going to the Country. Been a while since I played it and a little rough at the end :) [/snip]Bruce Cockburn cover: Happy Good Morning Blues | 2:15

What do you think Beethoven's favorite key was? Violinist Scott Yoo and his fellow musicians, Bion Tsang and Toby Appel, discuss what they think was Beethoven's favorite key to compose in and take a reimagined approach to Beethoven's string trio based on their answers.
The Series 2 finale of Great Performances: Now Hear This takes a dramatic approach to interpreting the complex musical mind of composer Ludwig van Beethoven, who wrote nearly 800 works in 45 years. Host and violinist Scott Yoo and his team of fellow musicians visit a historic manor in the Berkshires to better understand Beethoven by performing and recording some of his most personal work, including his famous “Ghost Trio.” Unbeknownst to them, they’ve summoned the ghost of the composer, trailed by the spirit of Sigmund Freud who attempts to analyze him. Interweaving documentary, performance and theatrical storytelling, this haunting special episode explores the mind of the composer through dramatized conversations between the spirits of Beethoven and Freud.
Transcript 0:00 · What do you think Beethoven's favorite key is? C minor. 0:04 · Actually, it might've been his favorite, but he did not use it the most. 0:08 · Yeah but, I think D,G,C and mostly E-flat major. Yeah. 0:13 · And for a concerto, the spring string trio, um, 0:17 · Eroica symphony, lots of E flat. Yeah. Out of all of the works, 0:21 · I think most of them are in major key. 0:23 · If there are a lot of major key Beethoven pieces, 0:26 · when there is a minor key Beethoven piece, like this one, 0:30 · I think Beethoven really wanted a count. 0:32 · So I guess if he's writing this in C minor, this has got to mean something, 0:37 · right. I mean, maybe it needs to be more dark. Well, 0:39 · I think of this piece as kind of baby Beethoven's fifth, right? 0:43 · Instead of [Yoo plays a selection of the piece] it's [Yoo plays the same section a key lower] 0:48 · I think maybe we can make it a little earthier. More grit. 0:53 · Yeah. Can you slate this? 0:55 · [Voice over the intercom] This is take 67. 0:59 · [They begin to play the C minor string trio]. 1:10 · Beethoven wrote the C minor string trio at 27, 1:14 · the height of his early period. 1:17 · It was the birth of a style he would explore throughout his career. 1:21 · [They continue to play].
[snip] The night this was recorded in New York City, every trumpet player in town was there to hear Harry James. Doc Severinsen, Marvin Stamm, and many more have told the stories of Harry's triumphant stand at the Riverboat in 1966.
Ernie Andrews sings the first chorus of this classic song, and then Harry James uncorks possibly the greatest pure jazz solo he ever played.
Harry's use of the entire range of the trumpet on this solo left Doc Severinsen among others stunned. Doc called this "Pure Trumpet!"
Every young trumpet player should be made to sit still and listen to the all-time trumpet master...Harry James! [/snip]Harry James' Legendary jazz solo from 1966 | 4:26
