The Annie Hawkins Band: Annie, Brandon, and Davie
Annie was born on July 18,1973. She is a Cancer with a Pisces Moon and a Virgo Rising and that's all you need to know.
Additional information:
She has been writing songs since age twelve
Studied Jazz guitar for four years at a few schools that teach that sort of stuff
She enjoys playing and working with men while she sings about how terrible they are. She is currently working on liking them
Brandon is the youngest member of the band. Hes the slappin, poppin funky unit of the family. He motivates the group with a soft-spoken inspirational determination of faith in music and people. Brandon has been hitting the strings since he was four feet tall, and has always known that music was it. Once his hands were big enough, he began performing with well known Tucson bands including Funky Bonz and Propaganda Child.
His sensitive ear leans toward a melodic style going beyond the standard chord outline. This creates an intricate collage of vocal, chordal bass melodies swinging from conversation to war. He contributes to the songwriting as well, adding a rock twist to the songs.
Born David Nelson Murray to parents William and Shirley in Toledo, Ohio, August 15, 1968, Davie has always enjoyed music. He demonstrated an early interest in musical endeavors, singing in the church choir and playing the snare drum in the grade school band. He also quickly developed a deep aversion to written music, memorizing the pieces and pretending to read them at rehearsals and concerts. When the Murray family moved to Tucson, Arizona in 1980, Davie failed to make the cut in the Junior High band and gave up drumming, focusing on performing with the school's song and dance troop.
In high school, Davie enjoyed Drama and Graphic Arts and was an enthusiastic but mediocre break-dancer. The hip-hop music of the day inspired Davie and some friends to start an electronic band of their own. "Radio Ground Zero" or "RGZ" lasted for four long years, the later two of which, Davie began playing electronic percussion, rekindling his love of drumming. Over the course of the next six years, Davie slowly moved through bands and projects ranging from pop to rock to jazz to country punk and "experimental music". Some of these included the "Lemon Merchants", the "Joyous Oppressors", "Cathy Rivers and the Red Eyed Cows", and "Mister Howell's Fortune". Eventually, Davie gave up the clacky timbres of the electronics and picked up a traditional drum set.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent performances of one of our greatest symphonists........2004-04-28
First, the man was a superb melodist. He was not a mere tunesmith, to be sure, but crafted works that are primarily conceived in terms of melodic development, and this makes his work immediately appealing. Second, he was a highly original thinker who used his colossal technique (he had a doctorate in composition and studied with Ravel) for surprisingly modern ends. His music can at times sound like a mixture of Bach and Debussy, but it is always unmistakably Vaughan Williams. He had a penchant for modal counterpoint, and his streams of parallel chords place his work squarely in the 20th century.
Vaughan Williams' unique talent for scoring is evident throughout this excellent recording of his 7th and 8th symphonies. The "Sinfonia antartica" is based upon a film score he supplied for a film about the explorer Robert Scott. It is by turns brooding and wistful--an ideal introduction to this magnificent composer. Symphony No. 8 is a more eclectic affair, brighter in temperament overall, but a rewarding example of the surprises that lurk around every corner of RVW's work.
Was he the greatest symphonist of the 20th century? The jury's still out. He certainly created a body of symphonic work that is second to none in its richness, diversity, and consistency. Mahler, Sibelius, and Shostakovich are usually considered the most important symphonists of the last century, but for those who seek other fare, you can't do better than Vaughan Williams.

A Tale of Two Eighths.......2001-07-30
The Vaughan Williams eighth symphony exhibits a few interesting parallels with the eighth symphony of the composer whose oeuvre established the "rule of nine" in the writing of symphonies: Beethoven.
Beethoven's Opus 93 strikes some listeners as both "a step backwards" from the rambunctious and expansive seventh (with its electrifying "double scherzo" and achingly intense theme-and-variations slow movement), and a mystification before the grandiose Opus 125. It is something of a look back towards Haydn; it is charming, and elegant, and seems to do entirely without the dramatic musical rhetoric of which Beethoven's third, fifth and seventh symphonies provide ample and potent illustration. It is the sort of thing which "musical progressivists" say we composers cannot do; you can almost hear the phrase spoken, "you can never go back."
Yet, in his eighth symphony, Beethoven succeeds, marvelously and musically; he does, and does not, "go back." Vaughan Williams does something of the same, in his eighth. Even though Vaughan Williams' seventh was composed originally as film music, and then adapted as a symphony in his `cycle' (or perhaps because of this), the eighth seems like a deliberate step away from musical dramtization, and into the realm of abstract, `pure' music, a music which functions on its own, not driven by any extra-musical `program.'
Now, the `point' to which Beethoven does and does not go back, is Haydn; the generation before, and a composer with whom Beethoven had taken lessons. The `point' to which Vaughan Williams does and does not go back, is musical Impressionism, and specifically Ravel. Vaughan Williams had taken some lessons with Ravel; and the `return to pure music' in the eighth is doubly apt here, as part of Ravel's Impressionism is a sort of `romantic neo-classicism' exemplified in "Le Tombeau de Couperin" and the piano concertos.
That Vaughan Williams made his eighth with the Beethoven-parallel in mind, seems to me confirmed in the opening of the second movement. Vaughan Williams' all-winds scherzo begins with too much of a `metronomic' gesture for this to be coincidental. This parallel does not become burdensome, because the `metronomic piece' functions differently in the two eighth symphonies: it is the slow movement in the Beethoven Op. 93, followed by the lovely Menuet and Trio (good heavens! didn't Beethoven realize how passé this was?), while in Vaughan Williams' eighth it serves as a scherzo followed by a richly beautiful slow movement for strings alone (in timbral balance of the string-less scherzo).
Where Vaughan Williams `does not go back' is, about two-thirds into the first movement, where, after some moments of trumpet-&-string doublings which seemed to evoke the sound-world of Prokofiev, the relatively smooth calm of most of the movement yields to the sort of orchestral menace normally associated with Shostakovich. This fury lasts but a moment, and gives way again to the idyllic calm of the opening material, but here is a musical point at which you wonder if it is really possible to `go back' ....
The last movement of the Vaughan Williams' eighth is bright and resplendent. It is almost mis-labeled; `toccata' traditionally means a `touched' piece, a keyboard work with figurations more characteristic of two hands at a keyboard, rather than a large ensemble of single-line instruments. But Vaughan Williams has a history of adapting the idea of the Toccata, as in his Toccata Marziale for band; and my musicological quibble does not get in the way of the piece, which reminds me more of a jubilant carillon.

Featuring a stellar cast of progressively minded hip-hop artists, The Unbound Project is dedicated to Philadelphia activist and death-row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal and is conceptually centered on the meaning of freedom. Scenarios range from Reflection Eternal's lively present-day analysis on "The Human Element" to acclaimed Philly spoken-word poet Ursula Rucker (whose words have closed each of the Roots' albums) revisiting the horrors of slavery on the eerily ambient "Soon." With additional contributions from veterans Chuck D and Poor Righteous Teachers, and relative newcomers such as dead prez and Talib Kweli (of Black Star and Reflection Eternal), The Unbound Project brings together politically conscious hip-hop artists of different eras, providing evidence of a burgeoning grassroots resurgence. Its primary function, however, is as a compelling critique of U.S. socio-economic conditions and the criminal (in)justice system. --Del F. CowieCustomer Reviews:
