The name came about because people said the quintet looked more like the cast of Friends than opera singers - and Amici is Italian for Friends Sewell said: "We have had loads of criticism from traditionalists, but you expect it "Presenter Sue Barker has given us quite a few plugs during the coverage," joked Sewell But in New Zealand, where member Geoff Sewell hails from, they shared the charts with the likes of Eminem It is has been about 50-50 between good and bad But they have promised they will be returning to the UK for a number of live dates in the near future Amici Forever had an impressive debut concert - performing at the FA Cup final, before going on to entertain at the English rugby union final It was nominated at the Classical Brits in the album of the year category After Sewell came up with the concept of putting together an opera band, it took a while to find the right mix of voices that would work together They just like to listen to beautiful melodies and music," said Sewell, the brainchild behind the band The track Eternal Flame is released on Monday Olympic effort from Amici Forever By Keily Oakes BBC News Online entertainment staff The unusual blending of opera and pop group has brought Amici Forever to the attention of new fans around the world Amici Forever's debut album - The Opera Band - went top five in the UK classical charts in 2003, becoming a Christmas stocking favourite Amici Forever are busy promoting themselves around the world, rarely staying in the same country for more than a few days at a time The five members are all classically trained They were commissioned by the BBC to sing the theme to its Olympic coverage "People try to put us into different boxes in the UK but in other countries they have not said we are just classical Mixed reaction Sewell said they have faced criticism from those in the classical arena, who have also attacked the likes of Bond and the Opera Babes "We have also had a really good response from some of them The Opera Band was produced by Nick Patrick who had previously worked with the likes of the Gypsy Kings, Tina Turner and Marvin Gaye But they were pleasantly surprised by the positive reaction they received when they were sandwiched between Busted and Mis-Teeq at the CBBC Proms in the Park event "I thought we would just appeal to the parents there with their children, but we got a really good reception from everyone Equal partners Alongside tenor Geoff Sewell are soprano Jo Appleby, soprano Tsakane Valentine, tenor David Habbin and bass baritone Nick Garrett "Live performances are what Amici Forever really enjoy, it's the buzz of it, especially at big outdoor events," said Sewell Country-hopping The song was written specially for the event, with the lyrics written in Greek to give a flavour of the great tradition of the sporting festival in Athens " Eternal Flame has had massive exposure thanks to its inclusion in the BBC's Olympic coverage " Sewell admits the average audience for their concerts is aged 30 upwards "I'm definitely not the leader of the band, we are equal and there are no lead voices," insists Sewell Geoff Sewell moved from New Zealand to London Its inclusion brought the inevitable criticisms that the awards had dumbed down "He made a musical odyssey throughout most of the world's music, but he never really tapped into the music of his own origins â€â€? Eastern Europe," his wife said Then I want to try to evolve by combining things I love all the music I've played, but I wanted something that is mine I think it's a devastating loss to the music community," said Robert O'Meally, director of Columbia University's Center for Jazz Studies "It was very peaceful," said his daughter, Claudia Mann-Basler "I think sometimes he didn't really realize how much he was appreciated Up to that point, the ethnic music I had heard had 14 drums playing different parts but the melodies were very simple Then I saw the `Black Orpheus' movie and heard multiple rhythm parts along with the most beautiful melodies in the world Mann's best-selling "Memphis Underground" was a founding recording of fusion com What I am is an Eastern European Jew " Sy Johnson, a New York City composer and music arranger who knew Mann for some 40 years, called him "a wonderful Pied Piper of jazz, drawing our attention to what's happening around the world and the country "I've played Brazilian music, but I'm not Brazilian He explored the music of Africa, India, Cuba, Jamaica, the Middle East, Japan and Brazil " When he was diagnosed with cancer in 1997, he began thinking about his musical legacy, Arison said At 70, he put out a CD called "Eastern European Roots At times, his music defied categories â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: http://www " "I've played Cuban music, but I'm not Cuban," he once told the Rocky Mountain News "When I came back (from Africa), I hired (Babatunde) Olatunji, a Nigerian drummer living here, and we started doing music based on African motifs," he told the AP In the 1950s, after three years in the Army playing with the Army Band in Trieste, Italy, Mann toured France and Scandinavia " He returned and recorded with Brazilian musicians, including Antonio Carlos Jobim and a 19-year-old Sergio Mendes He got a standing ovation as he walked on stage, lugging a bottle of oxygen with him to help him cope with the cancer that had spread to his bones six months earlier He will be sorely missed," said Lightyear President Arnie Holland "And I would always like to try to evolve the music to another step If a genie offered Mann anything he wanted, he said in a 1995 Associated Press interview, he would choose a big band including three rhythm sections for straight-ahead jazz, Brazilian music and soul " "The years of pleasure he has given have touched millions As for the Brazil tour, he said, "Revelation doesn't touch it I've played jazz, but I'm not African-American He studied saxophone but preferred flute He was a path maker " When he left Atlantic Records in 1979 he started producing his own records, and later he began his own label, Kokopelli Jazz Flutist Herbie Mann Dies at 73 Jul 2, 5:53 PM EST Herbie Mann, a versatile jazz flutist whose restless search for new sounds took him around the world and influenced a generation of musicians, has died at 73 com www "I'd be able to play all that music; I wouldn't have to play any one thing all the time," he said ; sister Judi Burnstein of Niceville, Fla "As much as I love music, I never really thought it was my life ; sons Paul Mann of San Francisco and Geoff Mann of New York City; and daughter Laura Mann of New York City It was a love fest," said his wife, Susan Janeal Arison, who accompanied him Mann, who moved to the Santa Fe area in 1989 after spending most of his life in his native New York City, performed for the last time on May 3 at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival In all, he made more than 100 albums as a leader Mann is also survived by his mother, Ruth Solomon of Hallandale, Fla "He really did extend the vocabulary of jazz "It wasn't just a jazz fest Diagnosed six years ago with inoperable prostate cancer, Mann died late Tuesday at his home in Pecos, near Santa Fe, with his family at his bedside herbiemannmusic " Mann experimented with various styles, then combined them Mann was tireless in his efforts to expand his own musical horizons, and was an early practitioner of fusion and world music I thought it was the vehicle I used to express my life," he said His last four albums were released by Lightyear Entertainment, which on Wednesday called him "a giant and a visionary He credited visits to Africa and Brazil in the early 1960s with changing his musical outlook Once you reach the point where you play it perfectly in a genre, to me it gets boring HerbieMannPCA MF Mann founded the Herbie Mann Prostate Cancer Awareness Music Foundation, which provided onsite screenings for thousands of men at concerts and other events Born Herbert Solomon in Brooklyn in 1930, he started his career when he was 15, playing in groups at Catskill Mountain resorts for the summer The group Family of Mann, formed in 1973, played world music before it was called that |
