Seamless move to jazz music

The big difference is that instead of sitting at the back of the class where he was ignored as a child with dyslexia Mulcahy is now at the top of the class tutoring young musicians at University College Cork. He combines this work and his studies for his MA in jazz performance with his full-time tailoring job at Tucker Tailors on Washington Street in Cork (Tommy Tucker being the musician’s nickname). It is his passion for music and for jazz in particular that has kept Mulcahy going through the many obstacles he faced during his studies for a BA in jazz performance. It wasn’t until 10 years ago that Mulcahy was finally diagnosed with the condition dyslexia when he went for an assessment at the Limerick Dyslexic Support Centre. After the nightmare of his school days the diagnosis came as an enormous relief. The Dyslexia Association of Ireland suggests a very simple definition of dyslexia is that it is a “specific learning difficulty which makes it hard for some people to learn to read write and spell correctly”. He says: “Everybody thought I was stupid in school.
Voices — Odetta 1930 – 2008
Los Angeles Times CA
ARNOLDDEL MAR — Odetta is a human jukebox of traditional American folk music. Her repertoire both on record and in concert ranges from 19th-Century slave songs and spirituals to the topical ballads of such 20th-Century folk icons as Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. And although she periodically strays into other styles of music–she’s sung jazz Broadway show tunes even opera–Odetta likes nothing better than to apply her rich powerful voice and intense evocative singing style to traditional American folk music–the music that made us think then made us act in times past. "People are always asking me ‘Why don’t you do more modern songs?’ And I guess it’s because I’m an ancestor worshiper and a historian" said Odetta who will appear Saturday night at the Del Mar Shores Auditorium. "This is the music that turned my life around and I feel a need to continue that music so that more and more people can hear it–and hear messages from those who have gone before us hear how our ancestors got us through to better positions than they were in. "History after all has a way of repeating itself she said and the message contained in these vintage tunes is as relevant today as when they were written. "We in this country are terribly confused" Odetta said.

Hancock’s "River: The Joni Letters" is a fine record. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it. Its jazzy-pop interpretations of Joni Mitchell songs are an enjoyable listen — a jazz record that can comfortably appeal to fans of Norah Jones. After Jones won the album of the year in 2003 for "Come Away with Me" Grammy voters responded with a relatively challenging album of the year field the following year. Big stars were there (see Justin Timberlake’s "Justified") and so was a middle-of-the-road rock act (see Evanescence’s "Fallen"). But "Elephant" from the White Stripes sneaked in and Missy Elliott snared a long-overdue nomination for "Under Construction.
