Welcome to Music Arts Monthly Magazine

This is an online version that began back in real print in Houston Texas in 1985 by the late Douglas Groover: Editor, Publisher, Musician, Recording Engineer and a true descent person that I for one was very glad to have known. Go ask Cyndi Lauper about Doug as she considered him a true friend as well.

Roots of Reeds: Tales of the Reed
Saturday, February 11, 2012

In conjunction with the "Roots of Reeds" special exhibition, the Museum of Making Music presents Dr. A. J. Racy, Dr. David Borgo, Souhail Kaspar and Rob Thorsen for a special performance on reed instruments from the East Mediterranean region and modern jazz as they share the story of Middle-Eastern reeds.
Internationally acclaimed performer, composer, and Professor of Ethnomusicology at the University of California, Los Angeles, A.J. Racy will perform on a variety of East Mediterranean reed and other instruments whose roots go back to antiquity. These instruments include the nay (reed flute), kawala (Egyptian folk flute), mijwiz (single reed, double pipe), and arghul (chanter-and-drone double pipe). Dr. Racy will include commentary on the history and technique of each instrument.
Additionally, David Borgo with Rob Thorsen will perform a selection of Duke Ellington's "tone parallels" compositions—including the Far East Suite—on tenor and soprano saxophones.

Bobby McFerin

Coming to


February 22nd

Listening to Bobby McFerrin sing may be hazardous to your preconceptions. Side effects may include unparalleled joy, a new perspective on creativity, rejection of the predictable, and a sudden, irreversible urge to lead a more spontaneous existence.
"America’­s musical shaman-in-chief, the man whose healing mission seems to be to reacquaint the human race with the spirit of childlike sonic play that rests underneath all music. McFerrin, alone in performance, is an extraordinary pied piper, turning an audience of thousands into a musical body . . . one of the most gifted entertainers of our time." – Buffalo News
"An utterly natural musician with an irrepressible sense of play . .. a virtuosic and absolutely riveting performance that brought the house down." – The Washington Post
"a joyous, contagious celebration of the power of the human voice, turning the enthusiastic crowd into full partners in his journey into the seeming unknown." – The Boston Herald
"The voice gets to the soul of a person more than any other instrument. Because it’s the voice. It sings talks, it cries, it laughs, it squeals, it barks, it shouts it whispers, There is no other instrument that can do that. We’re born with it." – Bobby McFerrin

1337 India Street, Downtown San Diego



LISA LOEB may have launched her career with a song in the movie Reality Bites, but for the songstress, reality has done anything but that. The Grammy-nominated, glasses wearing, graduate of Brown University still remains the first and only artist to have a Number 1 single ("Stay (I Missed You") without being signed to a recording contract.

Denver-born singer/songwriter/guitarist JILL SOBULE doesn’t pull any punches. Her songs span the spectrum of raw human emotions. Tackling subjects such as love, adolescence, anorexia, the death penalty, shoplifting, the Christian right, and many more, Sobule has cemented her place in American songwriting.

Terri Clark
coming to

February 11th

Terri Lynn Sauson, known professionally as Terri Clark, is a Canadian country music artist who has had success in both Canada and the United States. Signed to Mercury Records in 1995, she released her self-titled debut that year. Both it and its two follow-ups, 1996's Just the Same and 1998's How I Feel, were certified platinum in both countries, and produced several Top Ten country hits.
Her fourth album, 2000's Fearless, though certified gold in Canada, was not as successful in the U.S., producing no Top 10 hits. Pain to Kill from 2003 restored her chart momentum in the U.S. with "I Just Wanna Be Mad" and "I Wanna Do It All", while a 2004 greatest hits album produced the Number One "Girls Lie Too". A non-album single, "The World Needs a Drink", and the 2005 album Life Goes On were her last releases for Mercury before she signed to BNA Records in 2007. There, she released the singles "Dirty Girl" and "In My Next Life". Although the latter went to Number One in Canada, she has not released an album for BNA.
