BWW Review: RON CARTER QUARTET Walks at Regattabar
by Matt Hanson - October 15, 2015
There's a powerfully resonant, special quality to the lifelong oeuvre of a jazz master, such as in the inimitable example of bassist Ron Carter. In the 1960s, integral to the rhythm sections of Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis, his artistry may have seemed shadowed by the towering giants of the music that was to give voice to the Great Migration, the most significant movement of peoples in U.S. history.

Chattanooga Symphony & Opera to Perform All-Brahms Concert, 10/22
by BWW News Desk - October 14, 2015
October 13, 2015 – Chattanooga, TN – The Chattanooga Symphony & Opera continues its Barnett & Company Masterworks Series with an all Brahms concert on Thursday, October 22. Opening the concert is Brahms' Variations on a Theme by Haydn. Brahms composed the work on a theme entitled 'Chorale St. Antoni' found in a wind ensemble composition. At the time Brahms discovered it, the wind ensemble piece carried an attribution to the composer Joseph Haydn. Brahms titled his own composition accordingly, crediting Haydn for the theme, but publishers in the early nineteenth century often attached the names of famous composers to works by unknown or lesser known composers in order to move inventory. Subsequent research has concluded that the wind piece Brahms used as a source does not fit Haydn's style. Today the wind ensemble piece remains without clear attribution. The situation has led to Brahms's piece being referred to today in recordings and concert programs as the St. Anthony Variations as well as its original title.
