REVIEW: Ari Silberman "Beneath the Canopy"

REVIEW: Ari Silberman "Beneath the Canopy" @AriSilberman #JohnApice #beneaththecanopy #americanahighways #newmusic2023 #buymusic

Ari Silberman – Beneath the Canopy This 11-cut debut by native Angeleno sax player/composer Ari Silberman features a retro-sounding nostalgic set that begins with “Waitin’” — it’s not vintage it just adheres to an old tradition filled with blossoming modern arrangements with a 50s Blue Note feel. Ari’s not trying to reinvent the wheel. Josh Nelson (piano) has a light touch on the keys accompanied…

“Autism patient 0 memorized Psalm 23 and part of a catechism!“

The first person on record to be given a diagnosis of autism was Donald Triplett, born 1933. He was diagnosed sometime during his early childhood by Leo Kanner. Two of the things Kanner noticed about Triplett have been echoed by neurodiversity advocates for years: that Triplett knew several questions and answers from an unspecified Presbyterian catechism from a young age and that he knew Psalm 23 from a young age. Like Triplett, I was also raised Presbyterian and showed exceptional memory from a young age, and I don’t think either of these “feats” is as impressive as Kanner and subsequent researchers have implied. For those not in the know, catechesis is the act of imparting doctrine. A work written to perform this act is known as a catechism and usually comes in the form of a list of questions and answers. Think of catechisms as doctrinal FAQs. In the 1640s, during a period of great religious tumult in the British Isles, a group of ministers gathered at Westminster Abbey to write doctrinal statements to be used by a state church throughout Britain. These are known as the Westminster Standards, and include a Confession of Faith, a Larger Catechism, and a Shorter Catechism. Presbyterians and nonconformists with similar views made a large portion of the Westminster Assembly, so that even while a permanent union between the Church of England and Church of Scotland was thwarted by the restoration of the British monarchy, Presbyterians have continued to use the Westminster Standards. Donald Triplett was born and has spent practically his whole life in Mississippi. The Presbyterian Church of the United States was the primary Presbyterian body that existed in the southern US during Triplett’s childhood, and at the time was still using the Westminster Standards*. This means that Triplett was almost certainly raised on the Westminster Larger and Shorter Catechisms. I don’t expect Kanner or many advocates of the neurodiversity movement to know these things. Kanner was Jewish, as are Simon Baron Cohen**, Steve Silberman, and Ari Ne’eman. John Elder Robison claims to reject organized religion (despite being a leading figure of the neurodiversity movement, which many have described as cultic). Temple Grandin is a lapsed Episcopalian with idiosyncratic spiritual beliefs, and I do not know of any of the other major players of neurodiversity publicly stating their religious beliefs (if they even hold any). Jewish “catechisms” exist, but are of recent origin and not commonly used. While the Book of Common Prayer (nominally a standard within the Episcopal Church) contains a catechism, it is unlikely that Grandin would have been exposed to it often during her childhood. The reason I am unimpressed with Triplett’s “precocious feat” is simply that catechisms are written specifically to be memorized. That is literally their exact purpose. The first question and answer in the Westminster Larger Catechism has become a shibboleth among Presbyterians. Triplett’s other “precocious feat” was the memorization of Psalm 23. The Psalms are poetic. They follow certain syllabic meters; while they are mostly lost in translation, it is still common for translations of the Psalms to have line breaks similar to how they were originally written. This is also one of the most common Psalms to be read aloud in churches. I remember being in a church in the Chinese city of Changchun in 2019 and immediately recognizing the first line being said in Mandarin. Furthermore, there is a long tradition of adapting the Psalms to meter in Presbyterianism, meaning that Triplett would have very easily been exposed to one or more sung variant of Psalm 23 in church. Hymnals likely used by the PCUS in Triplett’s early childhood would have included The King of Love My Shepherd Is and The Lord is my Shepherd (also here, and here), assisting in the memorization. Memorizing something meant to be memorized is not some “precocious feat.” Memorizing something you hear over and over, spoken and sung, is also not some “precocious feat.” Regular people do both unconsciously, from a very young age. Just because the memorization is part and parcel to a religious tradition you are not familiar with does not make it impressive.

*The Presbyterian Church in the Confederate States of America was formed out of southern churches during the American Civil War, and was renamed the Presbyterian Church in the United States after the war ended; it would continue to use this name for the rest of its existence. It was, until 1983, a distinct body from the similarly-named Presbyterian Church in the USA. I consider it the most likely candidate for the denomination Triplett grew up in, but all other Presbyterian denominations active in the South during the mid 1930s were using the Westminster Catechisms, except for the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, which has its own catechism. Given Triplett's socioeconomic background, it is less likely his family would have belonged to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. The Orthodox Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian Church in America, Evangelical Presbyterian Church, and Evangelical Covenantal Order did not exist yet. The Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America, Reformed Presbyterian Church - General Synod, and PCUSA had minimal presence in the South, and the United Presbyterian Church of North America never had any presence in the South. The Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church is the next most likely denomination for the Tripletts to have attended besides the PCUS. **Not to be confused with his cousin Sasha, of Borat fame.

10 of my Favourite Covers

‘Cover band’ is a bit of dirty word in the music scene but I can’t help but always be captivated by a very stylish cover, I’m truly amazed by the different ways that bands can represent the exact same song.  When I had completed my very first edition of Against The Tide on PBS, I remember being so exhilarated and thrilled with the show and so confused when the very next announcer (Big Ian Sutherland, Shaggin The Night Away) happily congratulated me ‘Good job! I loved that cover of Brazil that you played’.  I froze, completely unaware that the Cornelius track that I had played was a cover of a 1939 song written by Ary Barroso.   Since then I’ve often wondered how many more songs in my collection had been repurposed.

So here are my top ten favourite covers.

1. No Se Si Es Amor – Aleks and the Ramps  (cover of ‘It Must have been Love – Roxette)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWDj8lQne-w

I’m probably going to credit this song for helping me fall in love with the banjo, an instrument I had previously hated with a passion.  The wonderful thing about this cover is that you’ll be happily screaming along in a language that you’ve probably never spoken before just because you can really FEEL the emotion.  

2. VCR – The Antlers (cover of VCR – The XX)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYoo6VwAh7E

Look if you love this song, you’re probably going to love it either way but there is something about The Antlers version that has a bit more mystery to it for me.  Peter Silberman’s vocals are a beautiful contrast to Romy Croft’s originals and I love their take on the track.

3. Baby – Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti (cover of Baby – Donnie and Joe Emerson)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3utvDLTynY

There is some sort of secret code that goes on when someone asks you which version of ‘Baby’ you prefer, Ariel Pink ‘s Haunted Graffiti or Donnie and Joe Emerson.  I happen to think that both versions of this incredible song are just as good as each other but there is no neutrality in the Game of ‘Baby’, you choose or you die.  So I’ll die knowing that I’ve chosen to put the Ariel Pink version onto this list and I’m pretty happy with that.

4. Crying – Austra (cover of Crying – Roy Orbison)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaGICH5oJYQ

This is a haunting song to begin with but I find Austra’s version quite dramatic in a very different way to the original.  A strong string section and some choral additions make this a unique and beautiful version of a classic heartbreak song.

5. Ceremony – Chromatics (cover of Ceremony – New Order)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWsktZGQFfo

So many bands have covered Joy Division/New Order and I do really think it’s hard to do justice to their sound, which was such a revelation at the time.  Ceremony is my favourite New Order track and I was quite sceptical of the Chromatics cover to begin with but now I think the slower, lo fi cover definitely holds it’s own against the original.

6. Lighthouse – Blood Orange (cover of Lighthouse – New Village)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba8-OyFw8ZA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moL0JgNek5A

I heard the cover before I heard the original in this case.  I wouldn’t have known had not Blood Orange made this obvious when he released this track (the same year as the original).  The differences here are subtle, more to do with the overall tone of the song rather than any huge stylistic differences.  I’ve included both links to the cover and the original here so you can get what I mean.

7. Come All Ye Fair and Tender Maidens – Prudence Rees Lee (Cover of Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies – American Folk Ballad)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOrTia7Yymo

Some songs feel like they have always been a part of you, like you’ve known them your entire life.  That may be slightly overdramatic but this cover of ‘Come All Ye Fair and Tender Maidens’ feels immediately familiar.  The original artist long since lost to history, this song has been covered by a plethora of artists.  This particular version by LA/Melbourne artist Prudence Rees Lee has a spooky earnestness to it that really resonates for me.

8.  Again – How To Dress Well (cover of Again – Janet Jackson)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=353uFx6cWDw

I follow How To Dress Well on twitter and he’s frequently lamenting that nobody seems to understand how to classify his alternative/rnb pop stylings as an artist.  I feel like this cover really helped to bridge that gap for me.  A classic track by Janet Jackson reimagined in his very particular style.

9. Lotus – Belfast FM (Cover of Killing In The Name Of – Rage Against The Machine)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRAYh7auTwI

This is one of those covers that could possibly be written off as being a parody of the original song.  But it seriously grows on you.  If you forget about the original song, you can imagine this being the modern (well of it’s time, 2010) release of this song.  No anger, just a whole bunch of irony.

10. Brazil – Cornelius (cover of Aquarela do Brasil by Ary Barroso)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4D_1ochyus

It would be remiss of me not to include this beautiful rendition of ‘Aquarela do Brasil’ recreated almost 70 years after the original, half a world away in Japan.  Barroso’s ode to his hometown and it’s beauty has been reimagined many times but Cornelius’s version holds a special place in my heart.  The album it was released on, ‘Point’, was one of the very first albums that led me down the path towards the music that I love and am lucky enough to spend every week curating a show about.
