Barlow’s expressive arrangements of lively jigs, spirited reels and hauntingly beautiful airs have been described as music to soothe the soul, warm the heart, and lift the spirit.

Jerry Barlow is a warm accessible performer and storyteller. His unique and skillfully delivered repertoire incorporates favorite traditional pieces and his own compositions.

In concert, Jerry brings traditional Celtic tunes alive by sharing the history, humor, and legends behind the music. “Jerry Barlow's performances reveal a performer who is skilled, funny and riveting. Out of the many musicians performing today, the vast majority are skilled in either performing on their instrument or in entertaining an audience. It's very rare and extremely enjoyable to see a musician at the very top of his craft in both areas,” says Scott Beach, Entertainment Director of Colorado Celtic Entertainment.

The Indie Acoustic Project, an international award that celebrates the best in innovative, independent acoustic music, has selected the title song from Jerry’s newest CD, BRING DOWN THE STORM, as “one of the best songs of 2006.” Songs from his first CD, KEEPSAKE, have been played on National Public Radio and were included in a PBS documentary Song of Our Children.

New Wizard Oil Combination Men's Chorale

Vocal Jazz

Gregg Coffman, Attorney

 

Time spent with Colorado’s New Wizard Oil Combination is full of nostalgia, humor, good music and cheerful attitude. The 12 man A Cappella group has a word for their kind of music. It’s called “Vocal Jazz”- the kind of singing that adapts instrumental sounds and techniques to pop and ageless standards. Informally called “The Wizards”, these guys sing with skill and abandon and revel in getting their audiences to tune in to a very happy style of singing, yet one that embraces the best of choral and jazz music traditions.

The members, professionals in education, business and the sciences, come from a variety of backgrounds and universities. They trace their singing to a Yale ensemble of similar bent called the “Whiffenpoofs”. The men who started the group in 1972 included former “Whiffs”. Taking their name New Wizard Oil Combination from the 19th century “combinations” of singers and snake-oil sellers, this Colorado Vocal Jazz Society men’s group is comprised of Yale and the University of Colorado alum who didn’t get enough in school!.

Suffice to say to say, the Wizards approach “middle age” with a couple of original members, alumni of a number of colleges, an age range of approximately 40 years, a constantly changing repertoire, and an enthusiasm for life and music which defies description. What more could you ask of musical entertainment than music sung with skill and abandon from the New Wizard Oil Combination.

Join us for a change of pace and listen to some of your favorites from the Beetles, Spinners, the Four Freshman, Ellington, Hoagie Carmichael, Irving Berlin, Ellington and the Lounge Lizards. The Wizards constantly evolve their musical material, intent on reflecting the best in a new and prospering age of unaccompanied vocal jazz.

The “Wizards” have provided entertainment programs for over thirty years and are affiliated with the Colorado Vocal Jazz Society. Check their web site at www.wizardoil.org.

This concert is sponsored by Gregg Coffman, Attorney.

The Stanley Hotel extends a 15% discount toward lunch or dinner in the Cascade Room to all Music Festival attendees on the day of the concert.

They have performed extensively across the United States and in June of 2005 were invited by the United Nations in Kosovo to present a “Week of Music” for the entire country and region. For the first time since the war ended over 10 years ago, the Bunin/Kruger team were welcomed as musical ambassadors to the war devastated country.

While in Tirana, the Kruger/Bunin team performed for 18 Foreign Ministers, 1000 European political delegates and over 130 European journalists.

The Bunin/Kruger team continues to receive multiple international performance invitations. They were the Performing Guests Artists at the renowned Instituto Musicale Nicola Vaccaj in Tolentino, Italy. In April of 2006 the Duo performed in Carnegie Hall and have been invited to teach at the National University in Buenos Aires in the near future. Under the baton of the renowned conductor, Leonid Shulman Bunin/Kruger performed Mozart’s two-piano concerto in E-flat, K365 with the State Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia in Kislovodsk, Russia.

Besides performing and judging together, Kruger and Bunin have been asked by Russian musicians to organize a yearly “Russian/American” Piano competition. The first competition will be held in Moscow and will then alternate locations with the second held in the United States. In addition, the duo team has received an invitation to record a series of CD’s devoted to Russian duo/duet repertoire.

Professor Victor Bunin lives in Moscow, Russia. Julia Amada Kruger lives in Austin, TX.
