For far excessively long, folk-jazz orphic Terry Callier was the undivided body politic of a tearing merely small cult following; a singer/songwriter whose psychotherapeutic, deeply spiritual music defied simple genre compartmentalisation, he went all just unknown for decades, last beginning to garner the recognition long due him after his rediscovery during the early '90s. Born in Chicago's North Side -- also home plate to Curtis Mayfield, Jerry Butler, and Ramsey Lewis -- and elevated in the area of the ill-famed Cabrini Green trapping projects, Callier began perusing the piano at the long prison term of tierce, writing his first base songs at the age of 11, and on a regular basis singing in doo wop groups throughout his formative days. While attending college, he erudite to play guitar, finally berth setting up residence at a Chicago coffeehouse dubbed the Fickle Pickle and in beat approaching to the attention of Chess Records organizer Charles Stepney, wHO produced Callier's debut single "Search at Me Now" in 1962.


In 1964, Callier met Prestige label manufacturer Samuel Charters, and a twelvemonth after they entered the studio to record his full-length bow The New Folk Sound of Terry Callier; upon pass completion of the session, however, Charters traveled to Mexico with the professional tapes in tow, and the album went unreleased before finally appearing to small ostentation in 1968. Undaunted, Callier remained a fixture of the Windy City club scene, and in 1970 he and partner Larry Wade signed on with his boyhood supporter Jerry Butler's Chicago Songwriters Workshop. There they composed material for local labels including Chess and Cadet, almost notably authoring the Dells' 1972 smash "The Love We Had Stays on My Mind." The song's success again teamed Callier with Stepney, at present a manufacturer at Cadet, and yielded 1973's Occasional Rain, a beautiful fusion of tribe and nothingness textures which set the groundwork for the heavy farther explored on the following year's What Color Is Love?


Disdain earning strong critical notices and edifice up a devoted winnow base end-to-end much of urban America, Callier failed to break through commercially, and later on 1975's I Just Can't Help Myself he was dropped by Cadet; in 1976, he too suffered another reversal when Butler closed the Songwriters Workshop. Upon signing to Elektra's Jazz Fusion embossment at the behest of label head Don Mizell, Callier resurfaced in 1978 with the lushly orchestrated Fire on Ice; with the follow-up, 1979's Turn You to Love, he finally cracked the pop charts with the single "Mansion of the Times," best known as the longtime theme for legendary WBLS-FM disk jockey Frankie Crocker. He even appeared at the Montreux Jazz Festival. However, when Mizell exited Elektra, Callier was quickly dropped from his contract; after a few more than years of diligent touring, he largely disappeared from music around during the early '80s; a single parent, he rather recognized a business as a computer programmer, reverting to college during the evenings to act on a degree in sociology.


Disdain essentially unassuming from acting, Callier continued composing songs, and in 1991 he received a surprise telephone call from winnow Eddie Pillar, the head of the U.K. label Acid Jazz. Pillar sought permission to re-release Callier's little-known, self-funded single from 1983, "I Don't Want to See Myself (Without You)"; ostensibly overnight, the track record became a massive success on the British clubhouse circuit, and the isaac M. Singer was soon flown to Britain for a partner off of staggeringly well-received club dates. In the sexual climax months, more than gigs followed on both sides of the Atlantic, and in 1996, Callier even recorded a live LP, TC in DC. In 1997, he teamed with British vocalizer Beth Orton, another of his most vocal supporters, to record a geminate of tracks for her superb EP Best Bit; the following year, Callier besides released his Verve Forecast debut Timepeace, his first-class honours degree major-label cause in close to deuce decades. Lifetime followed in 1999, and deuce age later came Alert, recorded live at London's Jazz Cafe. Callier returned in 2002 with Speak Your Peace and 2005 with Lookin' Out.

Described by Joan Wasser as "thug rock tilt R&B" and "American somebody music," Joan as Police Woman unify two of the biggest influences on her euphony: classical somebody such as Al Green and Nina Simone and the rougher, observational sounds of Sonic Youth and Bad Brains. The ruffle never sounds artificial, thanks to the intuitive interplay of Wasser's vocals, violins, and guitar, Rainy Orteca's basso, and Ben Perowsky's percussion.


Wasser, wHO has played with everyone from the Scissor Sisters to Lou Reed, began playing fiddle at age vIII patch attendance form school in Norwalk, CT. At Boston University, she studied fiddle with Yuri Mazurkevich and likewise played with the Boston University Symphony Orchestra, and expanded her horizons to rock with local acts including Hot Trix (which featured Autoclave member and Helium founder Mary Timony) and the Dambuilders, which went on to national success. Wasser likewise played with Timony and Shudder to Think's Nathan Larson in Mind Science of the Mind, which released their self-titled album in 1996. The following year, the Dambuilders disbanded and Wasser's swain, Jeff Buckley, drowned incidentally in Memphis, TN. Wasser unbroken on making music, collaborating with the Grifters' Dave Shouse and Buckley's onetime guitar player Michael Tighe in Those Bastard Souls in the late '90s, and then with Tighe in Black Beetle, which folded in the early 2000s. Along with working as a fiddler for hire with artists as diverse as Sheryl Crow, Hal Willner, Rufus Wainwright, and Antony and the Johnsons, Wasser developed her have songwriting, and formed Joan as Police Woman in 2002. She met Perowsky during his stint as drummer for Elysian Fields; like Wasser, he collaborated with many forward-thinking artists, including John Cale, John Zorn, and Roy Ayers. Similarly, Orteca (wHO is likewise a writer, editor program, and graphic designer) has worked with many of New York City's finest, ranging from Antony and the Johnsons to Sarah Silverman to White Magic. Joan as Police Woman released their starting time single, My Gurl, early in 2003, and self-released the Joan as Police Woman EP in 2004. The mathematical group signed to the British tag Reveal, which issued their full-length debut, Real Life, in summertime 2006, along with the Ageless Flame, Christobel, and The Ride singles.

Skid Row was one of the last fuzz metallic element bands to strike the mainstream earlier grease took over in the early '90s. They were also arguably the final of such bands to take whatsoever originality. While their 1989 self-titled release used standard pop-metal riffs and contained a smattering of generic lyrics, 1991's Slave to the Grind and 1995's Subhuman Race skint away from the pop-metal mold with uncharacteristically hard, thrashy guitars and more singular songwriting spell noneffervescent relying on varying '80s alloy formulas. Though personal differences and changing trends would eventually tear the band asunder by 1996, Skid Row showed a tremendous amount of assure during their short run in the mainstream.


Skid Row was formed in 1986 by bassist Rachel Bolan and former Bon Jovi guitar player Dave "The Snake" Sabo. The geminate added guitarist Scott Hill, drummer Rob Affuso, and vocalist Sebastian Bach to the card by early 1987 and the band exhausted the next year and a half playing a series of local clubs in the easterly U.S. Still in tangency with Jon Bon Jovi, Sabo positive the established stone star to demesne Skid Row a record dispense with Mercury. In 1989, the circle released their first record album, Skid Row, which went multi-platinum on the effectiveness of the Top 40 singles "18 and Life" and "I Remember You." Success was non without rebound, nonetheless -- the band had naïvely signed away much of their royalties and Sebastian Bach's childly conduct would demesne the chemical group in additional trouble. During the subsequent tour, Bach received harsh literary criticism for a T-shirt he publically sported displaying the message: AIDS KILLS FAGS DEAD. Suits were also filed against Bach later a concert during the supporting tour, where the isaac Bashevis Singer allegedly threw a methamphetamine bottle into the crowd together, injuring a young female fan.


Even so, Skid Row maintained a devoted audience. 1991's Hard worker to the Grind debuted at number one on the Billboard chart, an unprecedented achievement for a metallic element band. While the record album did not chart whatsoever real wireless hits, Grind standard stronger critical praise and would finally reach platinum status. Like so many of their peers, Skid Row deep in thought much of their fan infrastructure during the grease phase of the '90s. As Nirvana stormed the aspect in 1992, Skid Row took a reprieve, wait out the dirt menses and contemplative breakups (ironically, Nirvana had one time done for under the list Skid Row in the '80s). Skid Row returned in 1995 with Subhuman Race, which astonishingly charted in the Top 40 simply otherwise did non attract whatever real attention.


During the load-bearing go, tensions between the group members ran high and Skid Row disbanded shortly afterwards. Bach went on to form the Last Hard Men with Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, simply the chemical group skint up after transcription a cover of Alice Cooper's "School's Out" for the Shriek soundtrack in 1996. Plans to criminal record raw songs for the Skid Row greatest-hits album, 1998's XL Seasons, fell through, as Bach went on to form a solo project and portray the title of respect role in the Broadway musical Jeckyll and Hyde. In mid-2000, Skid Row re-formed with raw vocalist Johnny Solinger and toured as the opening band for Kiss' leave-taking go. They released Thickskin with Solinger in 2003, followed by Revolutions Per Minute in 2006.

Official: Olsen seeks immunity in Ledger probe

NEW YORK �

Federal prosecutors take decided non to engage a criminal case into how Heath Ledger obtained the muscular painkillers that contributed to his o.d. death this year, a law enforcement official aforesaid Wednesday.


Prosecutors in the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan had been overseeing a Drug Enforcement Administration probe into whether the painkillers found in Ledger's system were obtained illegally. But the prosecutors have bandy out "because they don't believe there's a viable target," said the official, who rundle on term of anonymity because no charges have been filed.


The decision comes after late reports that actress Mary-Kate Olsen was demanding immunity before answering questions around the startling death of her close friend and his drug use. Authorities say she was the first person called by a masseuse who institute the 28-year-old "Dark Knight" actor's lifeless body in his Manhattan apartment.


The DEA had obtained a subpoena ad testificandum that could have constrained Olsen if she continued to restrain out. But the subpoena, issued in April, is no yearner valid because it was contingent upon prosecutors pursuing the caseful, the official said Wednesday. The official added that the caseful could still be revived if evidence of a crime emerges.


Rebekah Carmichael, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's bureau, said it's the office's policy to "neither confirm nor deny the existance of an investigation." There was no immediate reply to a message left for Olsen's attorney, Michael C. Miller.


DEA investigators mistrust the painkillers found in Ledger's organization, oxycodone and hydrocodone, were obtained with phony prescriptions or other illegal means. Oxycodone is sold as OxyContin and hydrocodone as Vicodin.


Miller insisted this hebdomad that Olsen, a other child star topology on the sitcom "Full House," had already told the regime she "does not live the source of the drugs Mr. Ledger consumed."


Other potential witnesses apparently answered questions voluntarily, including doctors, Ledger's ex-girlfriend Michelle Williams and people in his apartment about the clock time of his death.


Other drugs taken by Ledger, including anti-anxiety medicine and sleeping pills, were prescribed legally by doctors in California and Texas.


The medical examiner's office wouldn't say what concentrations of each drug were plant but made clear he was killed by the combination - not an excess of any unitary drug in particular. It's common for the DEA to enquire an o.d. death with so many different drugs involved, a DEA spokesman said last month.


The masseuse discovered Ledger's body on Jan. 22. Police say she exhausted nine minutes making three calls to Olsen in front dialing 911 for help, then called the actress a fourth part time after paramedics arrived. At some point during the stir of frenzied calls, Olsen, who was in California, summoned her personal security guards to the flat to help, police said.


Ledger died subsequently filming "The Dark Night," the latest movie in the "Batman" series, in which he has earned rave reviews for playing a maniacal Joker. The film had taken in more than $400 million domestically as of Monday.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson get close in Cannes

Lindsay LohanLindsay Lohan was snapped getting close to pal Samantha Ronson in Cannes this week -- fueling rumors the pair are more than just good friends.


In one photo, Lohan was seen intimately resting on Samantha's neck; and in another, the pair looking loved-up and were holding hands.


Lohan and openly gay Ronson were in Cannes attending P Diddy's lavish yacht party.


A fellow guest said: "They looked like proper lovebirds.


"And they didn�t care who saw them draped over each other.


"If they are together then it�s a nice vision of their love."


However, last week, Lindsay's mom, Dina, blasted reports the Mean Girls actress, 21, fancied girls.


She said, "Samantha's an amazing girl.


"They're best friends. They're just friends.

On track : Revelling in a licence to thrill

Telarc's Direct Stream Digital technology is justly celebrated and two of the label's recent releases take advantage of its unique presence and potential to thrill.A new Brahms German Requiem, with Robert Spano conducting the Atlanta Symphony Opera and Chorus, makes for sumptuous listening.But then the same musicians' 2004 disc of the Berlioz Requiem created the perfect template - offering unflinching brilliance when the composer lets loose with the big forces, but treating the quieter moments with the utmost sensitivity.While the Brahms score may not supply the same speaker-shattering moments as that of the French composer, there is a richness here, even in the subdued opening which leads to the dramatic entrance of the 200-voice choir.Inspirational choral singing, especially at the lower end of the dynamic scale, underlines every detail of Brahms' setting - from the flashes of joy in the first movement to the final blessings of the last. Even when the Atlanta singers are at full voice, orchestral detail is never sacrificed, right through to the most delicate flicker of harp.




Marius Kwiecien's strong baritone effortlessly navigates the third movement, albeit with a vibrato that is only a little less distracting than that of soprano Twyla Robinson. But even if Robinson's voice is a little ripe in Ihr habt nun Traurigkei, compensation comes in the keen shading and phrasing of the surrounding woodwind.From Teutonic fare to a taste of the Orient in downtown New York, as the Ying Quartet give us Dim Sum, their collection of recent American Chinese composers.This is contemporary music that is spruce and approachable, from Tan Dun stirring up enticing rhythms in his Drum and Gon to the folksong-like fluency of Chen Yi's Shuo.The Yings are virtuosi and Telarc presents them appropriately, especially in Vivian Fung's obsessive Pizzicato, which explores every sound the players can make, sans bows.Two recording premieres stand out; a whimsical 95-second shot of colour from China's first avant-gardist, Ge Gan-ru, and the lingering mysteries of Lei Liang's Gobi Gloria, with its extraordinary evocations of traditional Mongolian throat-singers.* Brahms, Ein Deutsches Requiem (Telarc CD 80701)* Ying Quartet, Dim Sum (Telarc CD 80690) both through Elite Music

Sean Levert - Leverts Widow Suing Prison Authorities


LATEST: The widow of late R+B singer SEAN LEVERT has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Cleveland prison officials after the star collapsed in his cell earlier this year (08).

The 39-year-old son of The O'Jays star Eddie Levert fell unconscious while behind bars at Cuyahoga County Jail on 30 March (08).

He was taken to the local Lutheran Hospital, but was pronounced dead less than an hour later.

A coroner ruled he died of natural causes and it was revealed he suffered from heart disease and high blood sugar levels.

But Levert's widow Angela Lowe insists his untimely death was because he did not receive imminent medical care after his collapse and he was not given alprazolam - a drug he had been prescribed with - while in jail.

She claims that the right medical attention could have prevented Levert's death and she is suing for unspecified damages, according to website TMZ.com.

Levert had been serving a 22-month prison sentence for failing to pay $89,025 (GBP44,513) in child support to the mother of his kids.

P Diddy's Hollywood star shindig

The Hollywood walk of fame. It conjures up images of glamour, of immortality, of film stars getting cement stuck on their carefully manicured fingers. As of this weekend it will also summon images of P Diddy. Which is only right and proper, really.On Saturday, Sean Combs will become only the 2,362nd person to be awarded a Hollywood star. To celebrate this rare honour (shared by such luminaries as easy listening pioneer Andre Kostelanetz and Bobby "the Polish Prince" Vinton), Diddy will - of course - be having a party.










The Mirror's 3am believe they have the scoop on quite what will be required for Diddy's star-celebration. In the news doesn't have any such thing, but it hasn't stopped us from adding manufactured items into the Diddy list.It includes:10 private jets on standbyFive different Sean John outfits: a tux, a smoking jacket, a pimp suit, a top hat and tails and a pyjama comboA dog named Trudi who can rap just like Biggie Smalls£200,000 worth of French Ciroc vodka300 white lily arrangements400 black squirrel arrangements£200 goodie bags containing Diddy's Unforgiveable Black perfume.A sumptuous seafood and grilled meat platter spread.SandwichesAnd THAT'S what makes Diddy a star. By the way, we didn't make the pyjama combo up.Amy Winehouse in apparent non drug/drink/dissolution-related appearance in the Sun shocker.The Sun's Smart Gordon claims that Amy is set to split from her record label Island and form her own company just as soon as she's released her next album, which, by all accounts, she hasn't started making yet."Amy Winehouse is plotting to take control of her £10m fortune and start her own record label", explains Smart, just as we predicted."The rehab singer has been discussing her secret plans with close aides and intends to quit Island Records after her next album."Cue the "source": "For the first time in her career Amy is beginning to have her head turned by the cash she can make. It's never been a huge deal in the past but she is beginning to realise everyone else is making all the money out of her success."Once she gets that out she wants to set up her own label. She plans to release her own material as well as her mates' like Tyler James and Remi Nicole."Goodness knows where this has come from, but when a drug user starts talking about wanting to do something for the money, you can at least be convinced of the motives.That said, at the end of his item, Smart offers the following unusually clued-up observation on what might actually come to pass. "It may be that her bosses at Universal, Island's parent company, allow her to set up the label under their umbrella with a big royalties deal as a sweetener."Could it be that, in fact, it's the label putting this all about in the first place? We put a call in to Island, they haven't got back yet.In the news has been busy posing for Annie Liebowitz in nothing but a facecloth all this week so, as yet, we've failed to comment on Smart Gordon's continuing battle to snipe at the Glastonbury festival at every given opportunity.After claiming Jay-Z was to drop out, an event still yet to happen, he offered a critique of the lineup yesterday, suggesting that the appearance of James Blunt (a guy Smart can't make up his mind whether he likes or hates) and Gilbert O'Sullivan, has turned 30 years of festival tradition into one big disgrace. And that despite the fact the Courteneers are playing!Today he's provided another element about the affair and has gone all interactive on you in the process. "I asked whether Glastonbury's lineup - including Jay-Z and Shakin' Stevens was the worst ever. Most music fans on Bizarre's My Sun message board agreed with me. Xoe ranted: "Michael Eavis has gone too far."It's good of Smart Gordon to concede on the ranting point but Xoe's language is typical of Smart himself, who has been criticising Eavis's scheduling as if Glasto were a publicly funded body rather than a private concern. Eavis has picked the bands. You don't have to buy a ticket if you don't want to. There's no scandal. Now please can everyone get back to beating on the BBC instead?

Heigl Withdraws From Emmy Race Over Poor Material

Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl pulled herself out of the list of Emmy Award contenders as part of a protest about her character's development on the medical drama. The actress, who won the Best Supporting Actress prize at the Emmys last year insisted she be left off the official ballot because she felt her character was awful during the most recent season of the show. Heigl tells website GoldDerby.com, "I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and (so), in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organisation, I withdrew my name from contention. "I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an actress who was given such materials."
