UNCOVERED

John Jorgenson on NPR!

Our friend and ArtistShare/Uncovered partner John Jorgenson was the subject of an in-depth interview yesterday afternoon on NPR's All Things Considered. He talks with host Melissa Block about the challenges and allure of the gypsy jazz style and about his latest CD Ultraspontane. Check it out HERE. While the audio piece doesn't specifically reference Orchestra Nashville and Uncovered, the web article does. We very much hope you'll sign on to experience the rest of the making of John's new album. One of the major pieces from that project is Istiqbal Gathering, and we've posted a new FREE video documentary about the recording session for this incredible piece of music.

A New Year, A New Name!

From a press release that went out this week...

For many, there is no better time than the New Year for a transformation. The Nashville Chamber Orchestra is doing just that with the adoption of a new name, Orchestra Nashville, and a new aesthetic to creatively represent the progressive organization. Their mission to engage and inspire audiences and musicians with the innovative presentation of traditional classical repertory and new music that celebrates Nashville’s eclectic music community remains unchanged.

The move to “Orchestra Nashville” marks the second name change in the organization’s history...

New Jorgenson Content

We took a bit of a breather during the holidays, but we're back with fresh content from John, including part four of his bio interview, in which he talks about his years with the Hellecasters, his instrumental guitar super-group, and for the guitar enthusiast, two video tours of John's greatest guitars, the ones he's used on record and on stage. Coming soon, extended video of John's most recent recording session on his ArtistShare album in the works now.
