<div>Bellydancers, musicians and drummers, check out the first ever Jalsah community event to be held in Pittsburgh. <br/> <br/>On September 16, 6 PM at the Union Project, we will have a 30 minute darabuka (doumbek) class taught by Nick Rahgeb and immediately afterward, a 30 minute introductory bellydance class taught by Mavi. <br/> <br/>At 7:30, my band, Ishtar, takes the stage to provide live Middle Eastern music for open floor dancing. PhatManDee will accompany Nick, Jeff and me on some Turkish, Hebrew and Ladino songs. Nick and Phil will perform rhythm duets. The open stage for musicians and drummers begins at 9:30. <br/> <br/>Open floor dancing all night! Bring a hipscarf, bring an instrument, bring a drum. Bring a snack to share! <br/> <br/>Bring some money. Earth Movement Studios will be vending bellydance gear and Prem will be selling hookah supplies. <br/> <br/>In addition, bring old bellydance stuff, CDs, DVDs etc, that you wish to sell. There will be a swap table to sell bellydance stuff that needs a new home. <br/> <br/>Entrance fee $5 (to defray the cost of renting the space). <br/>801 North Negley Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15206 <br/>September 16, 2006 <br/>6-10PM <br/>www.jalsah.org</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://clarinetists.tribe.net">Clarinets</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Well, it had to happen. While putting my clarinet together last night at orchestra rehearsal, a slip and boom! One shattered Vandoren mouthpiece. I guess, once every 20 years, it happens, but it still hurts. And, to top it off, I can't read the size off the old one, so I am trying to guess if it was an H**, B*, 5RYlyre, or what. Not a good thing to be guessing on, so close to concert time. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://clarinetists.tribe.net">Clarinets</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div> <br/>So-- who are you? What do you play? WHERE do you play? Favorite clarinetists? Your interests? Anything else? <br/> <br/>And hey, just to be nice I'll start. <br/> <br/>I'm Mojave, I play clarinet, bass clarinet, tenor &amp; bari sax, but I think of myself as a bass clarinetist first. My soprano (Bb) clarinet is the best of the bunch, though. It's a gorgeous old Selmer CT from the 1950's and has a fat jazz sound to it. My bass is a student Yamaha. When I win the lottery, LeBlanc here I come. <br/> <br/>I play with two groups, the SF Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band and the Dixieland Dykes +3. When I finish school I want to audition for the San Bruno Skyline Big Band up here-- a bari/bass clarinet doubler is a lovely rarity, I hear. <br/> <br/>I love jazz clarinet. I listen to damn near all of 'em. My particular favorites are Hamiet Bluett, Don Byron, Eric Dolphy (the KING afaic), of course Goodman &amp; Shaw, Omar Simeon, then back to Johnnie Dodds, early Lester Young (yep, the Prez played clarinet), Sidney Bechet, Jimmie Noone, Barney Bigard and from the 2nd wave Dixieland artists, Bob Helms of the Yerba Buena Jazz Band. I'm not too in touch with classical clarinetists, but I do love how Tchaikovsky &amp; Shosktakovich orchestrate the bass clarinet. <br/> <br/>So yeah, as you can see I heart jazz, but I play in a wind ensemble and the modern band music that's being composed is pretty incredible stuff (Mmmmm, Ticheli). </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://clarinetists.tribe.net">Clarinets</a> - 0 replies </div>
