            <title>New Single - Trapped</title>
            <link>http://spiralsmusic.com/news.html#5</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Listen to our new single, Trapped - a rockin' version of a 1993 acoustic original written by Candice Nokes...now recorded by Candice Nokes & the Ravin' True - aka Carl Raven and Mark Truesdell.  Released on CD Baby February 25, 2011.  <br /><br />You can download it digitally for $0.99!  Go to the Buy tab for the link to CD Baby.<br /><br />Listen to it in full for free from our Music tab - don't be shy - turn it up!  <br />Read more about Trapped by clicking on the title when you go to the Music tab.<br /><br /><br /><br />Read about Carl Raven:<br /><br />Carl Raven-- drummer, bass guitarist,  accordionist, and saxophonist-- has worked with a variety of mostly Milwaukee based bands as a performer, arranger, and composer for over fifty years. Carl was leader, bass guitarist, and lead vocalist in his own group, the Del Reys, which evolved into a popular Wisconsin area rock band, performing at major venues, and at that time on all four of the major local T.V. stations through the early 60's. Carl played bass guitar with the Robbs, with whom he had several national record releases on Mercury and Atlantic  Records, the most well known being "Race With the Wind," and another, "I Don't Feel Alone," a recording with renowned guitarist James Burton, who had served as Elvis Presley's lead guitarist during his final ten years, and also before that with Ricky Nelson.<br /><br />In high school (MUHS), Carl served as their big jazz band's drummer, and freelanced on drums in various jazz groups through his college years. Since the early 90's, Carl has focused on percussion study and performance in jazz and its related African and African-Hispanic heritage. He has attended workshops with internationally acclaimed drummers Max Roach and Joe Morello.<br /><br />Carl has performed as a freelance drummer in the Milwaukee area with various local straight-ahead jazz groups led by John Hefter, Rick Santiago, and the late Kenny Danish.  Carl has been leader of his own mainstream group, The Carl Raven Jazz Collective.<br /><br />In 2004, Carl joined with saxophonist and clarinetist Frank Marquardt to form Collective Neurosis, a freeform jazz-based improvisational band, which later grew into its present quartet status with trumpeter Rob Schoenecker and cellist Henry Steinfort. With Collective Neurosis still searching for its first major CD album release, Collective Neurosis has enjoyed the distinction of having had its original recorded pieces, at this writing in the sixties in number, played on WMSE, 91.7FM, airing on<br />"Dr. Sushi's Free Jazz Barbecue" show and a performance on "Local-Live." Carl also performs as drummer with Once Now Ensemble, a group playing spontaneously improvised music.]]></description>
