In the Kansas City music spotlight: Calvin Arsenia, an artist unlike any other

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Musician and artist Calvin Arsenia lit up the historic jazz district with the Cantaloupe album release show Saturday night. A number of great artists have had their start right here in Kansas City, from Walt Disney, Ernest Hemingway, and Janelle Monáe. Now Arsenia joins the list. The artist has traveled around the world to break expectations with his performances.

Saturday September 15, 2018 Calvin performed at the Gem Theater located in Kansas City’s historic jazz district across from the American Jazz Museum. Calvin put on a show that audiences will remember: it included tango dancers, a couple of solo Celtic harp performances, men coming onto the stage to saw a log, intentional cricket sounds, costume changes, a full band with several string instruments, and a drumline that brought the audience marching out into the street.

Calvin Arsenia plays at Gem Theater | September 15, 2018

Calvin is 28 years old and stands at 6’6″ in flats. He recently spent time in Europe, playing music at the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh. Born in Florida, raised Evangelical in Kansas, Arsenia has a wide range of life experiences. He has done harp-friendly covers of Britney Spears, Björk, and Lauryn Hill.

Artist Peregrine Honig described Calvin as a genius for his website.

“Arsenia’s height, energy, and curated environments fill the often intimate spaces he performs in. Brought in to 9 countries through public and private grants in less than a decade, Arsenia builds a scene for his audience and himself packed with beauty and lasting delight by incorporating flowers, scents, edible and drinkable musings.”

During his Cantaloupe show, Calvin incorporated some humor. He said he tells people from around the world about Kansas City, about our BBQ, about our jazz scene. And then they tell him about “Dorothy.” And then he tells them, “No, that’s Kansas.”

He started the show with a song from his last album Catastrophe. The song is called “Kansas City Baby.” He sang while playing the harp with a spotlight on him and the curtains drawn. Some of the lyrics include:

“Kansas City Baby What can I do? The skyline ain’t a mountain high When you’re living on Troost

I have traveled the world To find the most beautiful girl She was under my nose The heart knows when it’s home

Take a look at the luggage I’ve been toting around Trinkets and milestones But the best that I’ve found

Are the blessings and proverbs No, not just some words But the faces of loved ones Now haven’t you heard of

Kansas City, baby What can I do? Heart sick when I’m leaving it But I’m coming home soon…”

After a couple of solos and building up the concert, the curtains opened and behind Calvin was a whole band with backup singers, violinists, a bassist, guitarist, a drummer — a number of musicians surrounded by bold colored lights and elegant tapestry.

The songs had many catchy lines from “he believes in beauty” to “I tried to write it away.” At any moment the set would change, or Calvin would wear something new, whether dark and subdued with a scarf or more bold with flowers and lace. Calvin is a classically trained musician with a strong voice who also plays several instruments, including the harp, the banjo, and the guitar.

He fuses together several genres including jazz, indie, folk, classical and electronic. During the Cantaloupe release show, he also sang a French song. It is recommended to see his performances live as it is a unique one-of-a-kind experience. One moment there is confetti flying in the air the next there is an introspective and subtle duet to a Radiohead cover.

Before intermission, he and the band did a cover of Britney Spear’s Toxic. Tango dancers came up out of the audience and danced in the walkways, making their way up to the stage. Calvin was in the center and brought everything together into a cohesive whole.

Calvin Arsenia plays at Gem Theater | September 15, 2018

His voice is powerful with a a noticeable wide range. He projects his voice well and seamlessly sings up into his upper register. It has a smooth, silky like tone to it that’s both pure and fierce. He has a way of tapping into the emotions of his songs and bringing it out for listeners. One of his best performances of the night was from a new song called “Poseidon.” Before this number, his band played without him while he made a costume change.

When he came back to the stage, there was a new kind of built-up energy in the room. His outfit could best be described as unicorn-mermaid chic with pinks, whites, and browns. And he carried around a trident. The band and Calvin gelled well together at this point, perhaps getting over all the previous planned surprises of the night. His voice came out clear and he swayed to the music — with stage lights behind him in blue and green.

Announcing his last song, someone from the audience gave out a sad sigh and Calvin responded, “Honey, we don’t live here.”

For the final number, more violinists lined up in the aisles and played with the band on stage. Then after he took his bow, drums could be heard outside the doors. People inside the venue were led outside by a drumline that marched down to the Mutual Musicians Foundation. The drumline was in uniform, and several children were in it playing drums. It was a huge gathering on the streets.

Calvin recently released the music video for “Headlights.” His new album Cantaloupe will release in the next couple of weeks. You can find his previous album Catastrophe on iTunes.

Film: Ready Player One

Steven Spielberg, regisseur van talloze klassiekers, is nu terug met zijn verfilming van het boek “Ready Player One” van Ernest Cline.

Synopsis:

Het verhaal gaat over de toekomst, namelijk 2040. In dat jaar is de realiteit helemaal niet interessant, armoede overal, overpopulatie,...

Gelukkig is er in deze wereld 1 troost, De Oasis. Een virtuele wereld waarin je letterlijk kan zijn wie je wil zijn, je kan doen wat je wil doen met je enigste limiet: je eigen verbeelding. In deze wereld is er, na de ontwerper’s dood, een gigantische “Easter egg” geplaatst. Wie hem vindt krijgt alle rechten tot The Oasis, en met als gevolg stinkend rijk. Om aan de Easter Egg te geraken moeten 3 sleutels gevonden worden. De eerste te vinden op het einde van een onwinbare race. De tweede te vinden in een klassieker waarvan de God zijn schepsel haat. De derde en laatste in een donkere kamer, verborgen voor jaren.

Review:

De film is cinematografisch gezien, zeer mooi in elkaar gestoken. Het gebruik van verschillende technieken tonen waarom Spielberg zo een zeer goede regisseur is. Verder heb je het geluid gedeelte van de film; niet alleen waren de background tracks zeer leuk om naar te luisteren, maar waren de geluiden van special effects zeer hoog. Zowel het zien als horen, deze combinatie van mooie dingen, maakte de film aangenaam om naar te kijken. Voor de rest was het ook niet mis, geen enkele acteur was echt slecht, maar ook was er geen van die echt uitblonk tussen de rest.

In het algemeen een leuke film om naar te kijken, vooral als je houdt van pop-culture zal je er zeer veel plezier van overhouden.

Report from McCabe's Guitar Shop, California: I kept it under my hat that I had some butterflies last night. It's not normal for me. I've been performing since I was four. But McCabe's is one of the most famous venues in the USA, thus the butterflies. At the very beginning, I knew things were going to be alright because they laughed. God bless the laughing crowds, they give my stories wings and inspire me to create new ones on the spot. God bless the woman who nearly fell out of her chair she was so touched in the funny bone. And bless the people who came out after and said they wanted the CD with the stories. One of those folks was one of my TV heroes, Dann Florek, who played on Law & Order for years! Oh my goodness. And it's always a terrific honor to have a fellow songwriter come to see us which the brilliant Ernest Troost did. And his beautiful wife, Louise, who looks as though she just popped out of a storybook, brought me fabric that belonged to her mother. There aren't enough thanks for Susie Glaze & her Hilonesome Band who have adopted us as their own ever since our first trip out here to California. They could have had the whole night to themselves, but they chose very generously to insist that we open for them. And so a very special performing dream came true for us last night and it was a barrel of fun and, best of all, the folks at McCabe's want us back. Ta-da! Woooohooo!

Piedmont folk-blues: Ernest Troost, Cephas & Wiggins, & Etta Baker

I recently heard folk-blues singer-songwriter Ernest Troost’s new album “O Love” and loved it. I found myself drawn into the world of old screen doors and broken hearts being mended through the only thing that can heal, love. The only song from the album on YouTube is “Close” but please check out this album. The title track “O Love” is my favorite.
