DVD
Novelty Instrumentals of Rev. Gary Davis
$22.65

About this product:
In this lesson Ernie Hawkins teaches three Rev. Davis arrangements that will challenge your fingers. Rev. Gary Davis's tour de force in concert was his "Soldiers March." This is a multi-part instrumental played in the Key of F and C and is a showcase in demonstrating the genius of Rev. Davis's playing and arranging skills. Few country blues guitarists played in the Key of F but Rev. Davis explored this key with religious as well as old pop standards. "Darktown Strutters Ball" is a fascinating arrangement that captures the atmosphere of the 1920s. Rev. Davis use to tell his students that playing with a bottleneck was cheating. Yet his "Whistlin' Blues" uses this technique combined with an Open D6 tuning to create an unusual boogie piano sound. Ernie Hawkins teaches each tune phrase by phrase and carefully shows you the right hand picking as well as the left hand fingerings that were unique to Rev. Davis's approach. You will be able to easily follow the instruction with the tab/music booklet. Also featured are split screen segments where each section is played slowly and you can study the movements of each hand. As a bonus we have included various audio performances of Rev. Davis playing each song.

Rev. James Cleveland

About this product:
I'm a bit puzzled here. There is a bit of James Cleveland on here. But it's stuff I already have. Then there are performances of the choirs with him directing. If that's alright with you, I guess it's alright. But, I need more of James.

DVD
Rev. Gary Davis: The Video Collection
$15.74

About this product:
The first two tracks are taken from a short film that played in theatres in the early 1960s. This was shot while Rev. Davis lived in the Bronx. The filmmaker was very interested in the ambience but we do get a chance to see Rev. Davis play. Pete Seeger s Rainbow Quest had one show that featured Rev. Davis along with Donovan and Shawn Phillips. The next two tunes are from this program. In 1969 Rev. Davis traveled to Seattle, Washington to play for the Folkore Society. Tracks 5-12 were filmed by the Anthropology Department of the University of Washington at the home of John Ullman.. This is rough footage but shows Rev. Davis relaxed amongst friends and his trusty cigar! During that stay John was able to take Rev. Davis in to a proper television studio and tracks 15-23 are from this session. These are seminal performances. The independent filmmaker Lionel Rogosin brought Rev. Davis together with other musicians for his film Black Roots. Tracks 24-26 are from this film. This collection ends with some very rough footage from the wedding celebration of John Gibbon (one of Rev. Davis s earliest New York students). This was originally recorded on reel to reel tape and over the years the tape disintegrated. So what we have left is a faint video image with good sound that shows Rev. Davis enjoying himself at a party with friends.

Holy Mass: According to the Book of Divine Worship
$20.00

About this product:
Perhaps one of the most magnificent treasures of the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Use Church of Our Lady of the Atonement in San Antonio, TX boasts one of the most beautiful church buildings to built in the last 50 years, and an even more exquisite liturgy. This DVD is a wonderful sample of a typical Sunday Mass at Our Lady of the Atonement Church, glorious liturgy, wonderful music and superb preaching. These scattered parishes include the finest elements of Anglican and Roman Catholic worship in one beautiful and moving worship experience, and this DVD is a perfect record of Solemn High Mass celebrated with dignity and majesty, a perfect gift for any musician in the Roman Catholic Church. The only negative aspect to this DVD is that after watching and feeling a part of this sublime worship (the Rolls-Royce of liturgical celebration) many musicians will have to get back into their Chevrolets on Saturday night!
