Lira Vic Bang

"Brass Bang" is the musical formula implying insanely talented musicians, humor and creativity. This album captures the mind of wind instruments. This album gathers eclectic composers such as Rolling Stones, Haendel, Jimi Hendrix, Duke Ellington and compositions of their own.

Among the different practices of the Renaissance, the act of singing to the accompaniment of the lyre held a special symbolic role, linked to the myth of Orpheus and to the divine figure of Apollo. With its origins in the mid-15th century, this recitation of epic and lyrical texts initially took the form of monophonic music accompanied by the lira da braccio. With the invention of the lirone in the years around 1500, the role of the accompaniment develops into the recitative style of the 1600s which led to the development of the earliest operas.

Originally from Tasmania, Australia, that other Blues master from Down Under, Dave Hole, introduced Rob Tognoni (a.k.a. The Tasmanian Devil) to the rest of the world in 1994. Seventeen albums and forty years later Rob's explosive blend of Classic Rock and Blues, which he plays with invigorating zeal and incomparable attack, is now being compared with the finest work by the great legends of the genre. Whilst a mind-blowing guitar player, able to bring on crashing power chords and driving riffs, which he plays with invigorating zeal and unrivaled attack reminiscent of the likes off Jimi Hendrix and AC/DC, there is also a subtle side to Rob's playing, reflecting broader melodic influences that include B.B. King, and even Tony Joe White.

Victor Aloysius Meyers was born in mid -1898 as the 15th of 16 children in Little Falls, Minnesota. Vic's father was County Treasurer for Morris County, Minnesota, a position he held for 30 years. When the family moved West to Oregon in the mid-'teens, Vic started on a musical career. He could play violin, but by the age of 18, he was a drummer in a three piece group that played each summer at Seaside, an ocean resort. At 21, in 1919 he got a two year contract to play with a full size band in the Rose Room in Seattle’s Hotel Butler, located at the corner of 2nd Avenue and James Street. Its construction started around 1900 and when it opened it "immediately became the jewel in the City’s crown. Its lavish Rose Room grill featured magnificent cuisine in an atmosphere of top recording orchestras, cut-glass chandeliers, thick imported carpets and sterling silver."
