“The Bradley
Years”
The
Bradley Years represent the definitive collection
of steelband music arrangements and performances
for a large steel orchestra. This collection
showcases seven classic arrangements from the
master arranger Clive Bradley. Bradley
is considered to be the best steelband music
arranger ever by many, including his peers.
In addition, the arrangements are performed
by one of the finest steelbands in the world,
New York’s Pantonic Steel Orchestra. Clive Bradley
had a very special relationship with Pantonic.
This orchestra clinched the title of panorama
champions five times in seven years - performing
Bradley’s musical works. The performances
were captured by Basement Recordings days before,
and in one instance, mere moments before they
took the stage for the prestigious annual steelband
music panorama competition.
The recordings
capture, reproduce and present an unrivalled
clarity with sonic realism, of a large steel
orchestra fielding between one hundred and one
hundred twenty musicians - unlike any other
steelband music recordings in its class.
This body
of musical work is a sterling addition for all
fans, educators, players, historians and fine
music collectors.

BSO’s Inaugural ‘Pan Is
Sweet’ presents a “Different Me” for New York
Pan - Success!
|
New York, USA
- ....If you were there then you know. If you missed
it, then you have probably already heard that
you missed out on an outstanding steelband music
event. BSO held their first annual “Pan Is
Sweet” competition. It will no doubt go down as
one of the best steelband music events for 2018,
if not the decade. Some are already calling it a
historic moment in pan. Time will tell. What is
undeniable is that the music was there, the
people were there and everyone was vibing. A
pivotal moment in New York Pan? Absolutely.

Facing challenges of instrument supply, training
in the art form - just to start - Issa is a true
example of following his heart, and determinedly
staying the course.

Concert
|
New York, U.S.A.
- There is absolutely no doubt that child
prodigy, genius, humanitarian and uncommon
beauty Philippa Schuyler would have been proud
of the young people who performed at the “A
Night of Music” concert. It unfolded at the
school bearing her name and dedicated to honor
her - Philippa Schuyler Middle School For the
Gifted and Talented.
On this cool Spring evening in Bushwick, Brooklyn, New York,
Philippa Schuyler Major Steelpan Ensemble and
Major Chorus showcased their talents to
all gathered: their parents, teachers and community. Under the leadership and vision of program director, educator and panist Nyasha Rhoden the steelpan instrument and artform have taken root in both the academic and performing arts lives of those students,

The Pan Man’s Triumphant
Return to Stage
|
New York, U.S.A.
- PAN Man - The Musical is the latest success
story in bringing the story of the Pan to the
stage through the performing arts.
Part history lesson, part
musical, with drama and comic relief. The Pan
Man takes the audience through the life
challenges of the Pan Man. Through examining the
typical elements of the journey of Pan from
scorn to acceptance, the cast of Pan Man under
the direction of Michelle Mannette-Gomez,
reenacts the pains, the joys and triumphs, all
experienced directly and indirectly with the
artform.
In his acting debut as Lypo
the Pan Man, panist Jahlani Roberts gives a
credible performance that showcases his deft pan
playing skills, as well as puts him on the road
to becoming much more than a panist - a triple
threat (acting, performing and singing).

The Ugly, The Uglier and
The Ugliest - New York Panorama 2017
tag words for 2017
NY Panorama: Embarrassing, Shameful, Thoughtless,
Bandits
|
New
York, USA - Well if you
haven’t heard already, New York’s 2017 Panorama
Steel Orchestra competition was an epic failure
for most. Unless you were the show’s promoters -
who got away as bandits in the night - except it
was a broad daylight-mugging with everyone watching.
Calling the promoters “bandits” is really a description
‘upgrade’ as they have been known as the original
Evil Empire to the Brooklyn Steelband community
for decades.
So in this
regard, let’s cut the crap! And the fake news from
those who are spreading alternative facts, about
how great New York 2017 Panorama was. In reality
it was jacked up.
