Five Vintage North Sea Classics Coming To Stingray DJAZZ in July! Kristian Mon, 07/04/2022

What is the North Sea Jazz Festival?

This July, Stingray is proud to premiere five vintage concerts from Europe’s legendary North Sea Jazz Festival.

With the 2022 edition coming up on July 8-10th, it's the perfect time to tune in to Stingray DJAZZ for a look back at some of this festival’s amazing highlights.

Ahmad Jamal Trio

Recorded on July 17th, 1989, this performance by the Ahmad Jamal Trio showcases the legendary jazz pianist at his peak. Alternating between stunning speed and leisurely elegance, Jamal shows us why he’s held in such high esteem by critics, colleagues and fans worldwide. He’s joined onstage by James Cammack (bass) and David Bowler (drums). A concert to savour - July 3rd at 21:00, exclusively on Stingray DJAZZ.

Arturo Sandoval

With infectious energy, they deliver a spirited masterclass in Latin jazz that is bound to have you on your feet and grooving the night away. Book your fun - July 10th at 21:00, only on Stingray DJAZZ.

Jon Hendricks & Company

This 1982 performance sees the vocalese virtuoso joined by wife Judith and daughter Michelle. Together, the Hendricks clan conjure up some vocal magic via Count Basie and Duke Ellington standards. Also featuring a special solo from the human trumpet himself, Bob Gurland. Don’t miss it! July 17th at 21:00, exclusively on Stingray DJAZZ.

Classic Rock Concert Films: The Ultimate Classic Rock Show Collection

Classic Rock Concert Films: The Ultimate Classic Rock Show Collection Eric C. Tue, 05/10/2022

At Qello Concerts, we love some of that big bad rock ‘n’ roll that shakes you to the core when you hear it. We love that feeling of getting our motors running to the super sounds of Steppenwolf, rocking like a hurricane with The Scorpions, putting our horns in the air for Sabbath, painting our faces for KISS, and chanting along for dear life with Freddie Mercury and Queen. We love our classic rock, and we have some of the best classic rock concerts and documentaries assembled into one beautiful classic rock package this month on Qello Concerts.

Here are a few of the top concert videos from the Massive Classic Rock collection:

AC/DC - No Bull, an iconic classic rock show

No Bull captures the over-the- top spectacle that was AC/DC's 1996 Ballbreaker tour, filmed at the Plaza De Toros De Las Ventas bullfighting arena in Madrid.

“Acca-dacca”, as the band is affectionately known in their homeland of Australia, is arguably the band with the biggest balls of all… seriously, their use of wrecking balls puts Miley Cyrus to shame, and let’s face it, they write, a lot… about balls: Big Balls, Great Balls, She’s Got Balls, Got You By The Balls, etc…

They also happen to be one of the most pure forms of energy on the planet: AC/DC have been touring pretty much non-stop since the early days in 1973, and they show few signs of slowing down. The “Thunder from Down Under,” as they are sometimes called, have over 2,000 concerts under their belt, and anyone who has been lucky enough to see them live, knows that they always deliver. This is, despite the fact that the band have gone through some crazy obstacles over the course of their career.

When original singer, (and a true Tasmanian Devil of a man, himself), Bon Scott, passed away tragically and suddenly at the age of 33 in February 1980, there was a lingering question about the future of the band, but along came Brian Johnson, whose voice became even more iconic and identifiable for the band, and AC/DC has been on an epic run ever since.

Despite taking some time off (when he was replaced by Axl Rose for a 2016 tour), vocalist Brian Johnson is now back with the band, and he’s got that fire in his belly. The band is also continuing without founding member, Malcolm Young, the original rhythm guitarist, who died in 2017 - but his brother Angus, the schoolboy-costume-wearing diablo who slays with killer guitar solos, is still in fine form, as you can see with his many iconic solos in this concert video.

It’s also important to note that drummer Phil Rudd has had his own issues over the years, having been accused in the courts of trying to arrange two contract killings! What??? Rudd was facing up to 10 years in prison had he been found guilty of the charge, but the charges were eventually dropped, and he is back behind the kit for the rock and roll gods!

If you want to see the band live in all their glory, check out No Bull - and for more AC/DC, check out the Family Jewels collection (speaking of balls).

Rush - R40, one of the best concert films

In the early 1970s, three unassuming young men from Willowdale, Ontario, got together to play some music in a garage - little did they know, in those early days, that they would go on to become the greatest power rock trio of all time!

Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and John Rutsey formed Rush in 1973, as high school friends who were really into Zeppelin. Their debut album was pretty much a very well executed tribute to the great Led Zep, and it caused a moderate buzz, but it wasn’t until Rutsey left the band, replaced by drummer Neil Peart, that Rush forged their true road to glory!

Neil’s audition was one for the books - when the tall, lanky drummer arrived with his drums in tow, he was pretty awkward and didn’t really fit the part. Then he sat at the kit. According to ultimateclassicrock.com, “Peart arrived at the tryout driving his mom's Ford Pinto, with his drums safely stashed in garbage cans. "I remember thinking, 'God, he's not nearly cool enough to be in this band,'" said guitarist Alex Lifeson in the film Beyond the Lighted Stage. But in spite of his questionable fashion sense, Peart's dextrous percussion skills won Lifeson over. "And then he started playing, and he pounded the crap out of those drums. He played like Keith Moon and John Bonham at the same time.'"

Armed with insane levels of musicianship, an endless supply of imagination, a constantly expanding creative drive, and stop-on-a-dime technical proficiency, Geddy, Alex and Neil went on to create some of the most iconic and recognizable music to come out of the great white north, pretty much ever.

Over the course of four decades, the band released over 30 albums, ranging from straight ahead rock to grandiose prog to new wave and even some reggae and synth rock mixed in - but their music always had that enigmatic quality - as Geddy sings in Spirit of Radio, “one likes to believe in the freedom of music,” and Rush gave their fans wings to soar along with them for decades.

For the band’s final tour, they decided to go back in time to create a concert experience that started in the present, and with each song on the setlist, they would go further back in chronology of the band’s releases. Rush filmed R40 Live over two sold-out nights at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre on June 17 and 19, 2015.

R40 Live features the three members of the band in peak form, performing a career-spanning live retrospective, celebrating their 40+ years together. The epic live shows by the celebrated Hall of Famers were captured with 14 cameras to present the band from every angle imaginable. If you haven’t seen Rush live, Rush-R40 is the next best thing. RIP to Neil Peart, the professor on the drumkit!

Journey - Live in Manila, a pure classic rock band moment

Fans of Journey can rejoice knowing the hard-rocking band are on tour again this summer, throughout North America, with friends like Toto and Anne Wilson of Heart. Journey are far and away one of the most celebrated American rock bands, owing a lot of their more recent success to TV shows like The Sopranos and Glee, but with deep roots to the San Francisco music scene of the 1970’s. In fact, original guitarist and founding member Neal Schon has been with Journey ever since the group was formed in 1973, and he is still the engine that keeps the Journey on track! Schon was originally a member of Santana’s band before forming Journey (he was just 15 years old when he joined Santana only a few weeks before performing at Woodstock!), so he’s got it in his blood.

To date, Journey has sold over 48 million albums in the U.S., making them the 25th best-selling band. They’re also one of the best-selling bands worldwide, with international sales hitting close to 90 million records, all thanks to the incredible songwriting of Schon and friends. Singer Steve Perry didn’t actually join the band until 1977, and when did, he took them to the stratosphere, with massive hits like Don’t Stop Believing, Separate Ways, Faithfully, etc… and Perry continued rocking out with the band for 21 years, until 1998, when he decided to pursue a solo career (not always a good idea), and then things got interesting for the band. When Steve Perry departed, he left a gaping hole, which would be hard to fill. Took a while to find the right fit, but then came YouTube. Yup, Youtube. The band ended up replacing Steve Perry with Arnel Pineda, a Manila-based singer from a Filipino Journey cover band, that Neal Schon discovered while watching covers of his own band on YouTube! In fact, it’s a bit of a new trend that has also allowed the band Yes to replace singer Jon Anderson with a Yes cover band singer from Montreal as discovered on YouTube - so, yeah, this is a thing!).

On March 14, 2009, Journey returned to Arnel Pineda's homeland and introduced him as their newest lead singer to a crowd nearly 30,000 strong at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds.

We posted a clip of Arnel fronting Journey on our TikTok page, and it generated a lot of discussions and heated debate. What do you think? Is Arnel as good as Steve Perry? Check out Journey Live in Manila and let us know what you think!

The Police - Certifiable, one of the best rock concerts

One of the most important, influential, and innovative bands to come out of the UK has to be The Police. The trio, made up of Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland were so inventive with their style that it was hard to actually define their sound which often toggled between pure pop bliss, raunchy punk aggression, rootsy reggae vibes, and the exciting sounds of new wave experimentation.

The Police are one of those rare bands that everyone likes (have you ever met anyone who doesn’t like The Police?). Maybe it’s Sting’s unique vocal style, the carefully crafted song catalog, Stewart Copeland’s incredible dexterity on the drums, or Andy Summers’ angular and spacey guitar playing - although, truth be told, it’s probably a combination of all of the above that makes them so special.

The band had its share of internal strife, too, over the years, though. They were only active for 7 years, because the members all had huge egos that got in each other's way, especially between Sting and Stewart Copeland (whose brother happened to be the band’s manager). The two band members almost came to blows at several instances. The straw that broke the camel’s back happened when the band couldn't agree on which drum machine to use for a session (as Stewart Copeland had broken his collarbone in a horseback riding accident and couldn't fulfill his drum duties until it all healed up). Things got so tense that during the recording of Synchronicity on the Caribbean island of Montserrat, each member recorded their parts in different rooms, not because it sounded better, but because they couldn't stand to be in the same room.

Following the Synchronicity tour, the Police took some time off, and returned in 1986 to play three Amnesty International benefit concerts. It didn’t go so well internally, again. Plans for an album were scuppered. The band eventually reformed in 2007, wowing audiences with their sustained musical prowess and a collection of timeless classics that translate so well live! Despite the fact that they didn’t get along, the tour was an unmitigated success! According to Steward Copeland, in an interview with The Guardian in 2020: “For Sting, music was a painkiller, an anesthetic, a way to escape from the evil, harsh, grim world, to a place of utter, unassailable, unblemished beauty,” he said. “For me, it’s a celebration: let’s light up this room and let’s have fun. This can overlap – we made five albums as The Police. But the conflict grew and grew, out of that diversity of purpose. And now we understand that, and Sting and I get along famously … as long as we’re not playing music!”

Luckily for us, that incredible tour was filmed for posterity. Recorded in Buenos Aires during the 30th Anniversary World Tour, Certifiable is the culmination of the phenomenal reunion of The Police. With a setlist that reads like the ultimate Police greatest hits show, the legendary trio performs all their classic tracks including 'Roxanne', 'Every Breath You Take', 'Don't Stand So Close To Me' and 'Message In A Bottle', you can relive the magic by clicking here.

SXSW: 3 Rising Acts to Discover RIGHT NOW!

SXSW: 3 Rising Acts to Discover RIGHT NOW! Stingray Curators Tue, 03/22/2022

Every year, the entertainment industry gathers in Austin, Texas, for a week of conferences, live performances, and movie premieres at South by Southwest (SXSW).

Our Senior Director of Programming and Content has selected three acts he discovered at SXSW!

Wet Leg (UK)

The visit of the British indie rock band was highly anticipated by both the festival crowd and the music business, and all their shows were at full capacity. I was finally able to beat the crowd and see their last of many concerts. Part of the hype probably comes from their rich sound, which blends four decades of alternative music, from Bjork to Wolf Alice.

Their crafty indie gems will definitely make them festivals favorites for the next few years.

Their first eponymous album is coming on April 8

Moonchild Sanelly (South Africa)

While Afro-pop/hip-hop music was a highlight of the festival, Moonchild could be the next star to break that scene at the international level. Her explosive stage presence, infectious grooves, and fearless lyrics of empowerment were brilliant.

Naya Ali (Canada)

Not new to the Canadian hip-hop scene, but a favorite. The songs of Ethiopian-born rapper have everything to conquer worldwide crowds, offering inventive beats and mature texts rooted in the singer’s diverse culture, complete with a solid on-stage delivery. Her most recent work from Godspeed: Baptism and Elevated could make her a strong figure of the upcoming new global hip-hop scene.

Hear these artists and many more of our favorites on the SXSW 2022 channel.

Peace, Paix & Love : quand la musique porte à réflexion

Charles — Tue, 22 Mar 2022 14:17:50 +0000

Peace, Paix & Love : quand la musique porte à réflexion Charles Tue, 03/22/2022

Il y a de ces artistes qui œuvrent à promouvoir la paix. Pour écrire sur ce sujet, ils ont certainement une sensibilité unique, qui les pousse à croire à un monde meilleur et à transmettre un message rempli d’espérance. Avec la liste de lecture Peace, Paix & Love, Stingray Musique agit telle une courroie de transmission entre ces chansons et vos oreilles. Cette collection de titres pacifiques aura assurément un effet salutaire sur votre conscience. La paix n’est-elle pas un idéal social? Pourquoi ne pas la préserver, la chérir et la propager? Donnons une chance à ces chansons de nous nourrir de leur bienveillance.

Rêvons, le temps de quelques chansons

Célébrons l’espoir d’un monde meilleur avec des chansons traitant de paix et d’amour dans la langue de Shakespeare et de Molière. La chaîne Peace, Paix & Love de Stingray Musique regroupe des chansons empathiques qui font du bien à l’âme. Même si les textes de ces chansons peuvent parfois sembler naïfs et utopiques, pourquoi ne pas y croire le temps d’une chanson? Offrons-nous ces quelques minutes d’évasion et de rêve. Il y a un début à tout et un rêve peut devenir réalité... John Lennon l’a si bien exprimé dans sa chanson « Imagine ».

« You may say I’m a dreamer (Tu peux dire que je suis un rêveur,)
But I’m not the only one (mais je ne suis pas le seul.)
I hope someday you’ll join us (J’espère qu’un jour vous vous joindrez à nous,)
And the world will live as one » (et que le monde ne fera plus qu’un.)

La chanson qui véhicule un message de paix favorise l’éveil de la conscience de soi et de l’autre.

Comme le disait l’écrivain Franz Kafka : « Un livre doit être la hache qui brise la mer gelée en nous. » La chanson pacifique ne doit-elle pas être la lumière qui éclaire nos zones d’ombres?

Quand les hommes vivront d’amour

Parmi les chansons qui se retrouvent sur cette chaîne, il y a l’immortelle « Quand les hommes vivront d’amour » de Raymond Lévesque, une chanson universelle qui est tristement encore d’actualité...

« Quand les hommes vivront d’amour,
il n’y aura plus de misère
et commenceront les beaux jours,
mais nous, nous serons morts, mon frère. »

Tu trouveras la paix

Une version récente de la chanson « Tu trouveras la paix », écrite par Stéphane Venne en 1971, donne des frissons. Céline Dion, Ginette Reno et Isabelle Boulay font de ce véritable bijou une invitation sincère à la paix intérieure. Dans cette version, l’orchestration et les chœurs d’enfants, tels de petits anges musicaux, se glissent dans nos oreilles à la recherche de nos cœurs.

Souhaitons que les chansons de la chaîne Peace, Paix & Love de Stingray Musique vous fassent ressentir toute cette paix et cet amour.

Peace, paix & love.

Sleep Music: Find Tracks To Help You Relax Stingray Curators Tue, 03/15/2022

Happy World Sleep Day! (Hope we didn’t wake you.)

Yep, it’s that annual event again – the one you probably forgot to circle on the calendar because you’re so sleepy.

Every year in March, sleep experts worldwide remind us: a good night’s sleep is vital to our health and happiness.

They say we spend about a third of our lives sleeping (or trying to sleep). But even one night tossing and turning feels more like a lifetime! Who hasn’t woken up after a sleepless Monday night feeling that they’ve aged a hundred years?

Rolling out of bed like Gandalf the Grey reminds us that truly restful, deep sleep is easier said than done. So, what the heck are we doing wrong?

The modern world is partly to blame. It’s full of temptations that soon become bad habits, whether it’s that giant afternoon coffee, late-night doom scrolling, or a need to binge-watch Season 5 of (insert favorite show here).

The good news is there are many small changes you can make that will improve the quality and quantity of your shuteye. One of them is adding some “sleep music” to your nightly routine.

What Is Sleep Music, Anyway?

Sleep music is especially designed by artists to coax your brain into dreamland, like a perfect lullaby.

Studies show that specific techniques, like the use of binaural beats, calming sounds, and frequencies, can help the body self-regulate hormones naturally, lowering stress while increasing a sense of wellbeing.

It’s also far more enjoyable than counting sheep!

Want to learn more? The Sleep Foundation has plenty of cool info on this topic.

But if you’re ready to relax right now, look no further.

No disrespect, rock, pop and hip-hop, but when you’re nursing a broken heart, looking back on life or just kicking back with some cold ones, good ol’ country music is hard to beat.

Escape The Blues With Music This Blue Monday Stingray Curators Fri, 01/07/2022

If you find yourself feeling a bit low in January, you’re not alone.

For many, it’s simply a post-holidays hangover on top of that bloated Christmas credit card bill. Others have a tough time with the colder, darker days. And of course, a worldwide pandemic doesn’t help!

In 2004, a psychologist came up with the term “Blue Monday” to describe the third Monday in January – supposedly the precise moment people feel their winter blues the most.

But let’s face it, bad feelings refuse to follow any schedule. Instead, think of it as a day to consider mental health and be kinder to yourself and others.

And while there’s no easy fix to many of life’s challenges, it’s a proven fact that music increases happiness – even sad songs! (Morrissey fans have known this for years).

In that spirit, the busy bees at Stingray have come up with a selection of s to lift your mood. And if none of these do the trick, there are plenty more endorphin-boosting channels to choose from. Heck, if doom metal is your feel-good pick – crank it up!

Happy listening – and remember that talking helps too. Reach out to someone when you need to – we’re all on this ship together.

Music to Keep You Warm This Winter Stingray Curators Wed, 01/05/2022

Let’s face it, fleeing the cold weather just ain’t as easy as it used to be. 

The days when you could throw a towel into a bag and hop on the next flight to Anywhere But Here are starting to feel like a dream.

Depending on how badly you miss that sunny vacation, you may feel tempted to take drastic measures, including heat lamps, indoor kiddie pools, and sand in the living room à la Brian Wilson.

But if you’re not quite that desperate – yet wouldn’t mind feeling warm and far away for a while – music is your ticket!

These curated channels from some of the world’s sunniest places are guaranteed to get you past any travel restriction and into your happy place.

So crank up the volume, pour yourself the fanciest cocktail you can manage, and take in some fun and sun with Stingray this winter.
