Outsight Radio Interview:
Beth Custer - In this May 22, 2005 interview
with Beth Custer, we catch up with her on two new
releases on her BC
Records. The first is a Clarinet Thing retrospective
pulling together live material spanning 15 years on
"Agony Pipes and Misery Sticks." Beth elaborates
more on her philosophical take on her main instrument,
the clarinet: "There is nothing like blowing a horn. It
oxygenates the body, clears the mind, and causes mood
responses from meditative to giddy, ecstatic, to
contemplative." |
 |
|
We also discuss the "funky disk of political
tirades" that is the The Beth Custer Ensemble album
"Respect As A Religion." Beth describes the
ensemble as "a veritable crème de la crème of Bay Area
musicians including long time collaborator Jan Jackson
on drums, Sila, Coup and Spearhead guitarist David
James, iconic pianist Graham Connah, bassists Tennessee
transplant Scott Alexander and the highly sought after
Devin Hoff, Charming Hostess Marika Hughes on hot 'cello
licks, and a horn section to die for in Ralph Carney,
Ben Goldberg and Marty Wehner." Finally, we hear a
little about an upcoming DVD project for Georgian
director Kote Mikaberidze's scathing satire of Soviet
bureaucracy. "My Grandmother" is a genuine piece of
slapstick-expressionism from the eccentric cinema of the
Twenties. Beth has created a soundtrack of a quick-paced
pastiche of American folk and blues, contemporary
classical, and jazz, with a nod to Georgian music, for
an upcomoing DVD edition.
