Reacquaint yourself with Pete Rock’s music at the Hype Machine.

This April 7, Pete Rock joins Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg for the latest installment of Noisemakers at 92YTribeca. HipHopDX caught wind of this, and asked:

With rumors circulating around the Internet about Pete Rock lending his production and deejaying expertise to Kanye West’s tentatively titled upcoming album, Good Ass Job, this is the perfect time to pay tribute to the man who changed how we think of adlibs, sampled the horns from “Today” by Tom Scott and the California Dreamers. So can Rosenberg get him to give up the goods?

“Pete has a couple really big things up his sleeve, some of which I hope he publicly reveals at Noisemakers,” Rosenberg offered.

Be there yourself to find out on April 7.

They say that March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb. For the School of Music at the 92nd Street Y, March has wrapped up to the powerful roar of 100 high school students in response to director Anthea Jackson’s announcement, “Welcome to our fourth annual High School Guitar Day!” At the recede of the thunder, all in the room moved to the edge of their seats, eager ears awaiting the start of this year’s opening concert, as faculty member David Veslocki took the stage to begin his first piece. A classical selection, Johann Sebastian Bach’s Praeludium and Presto.

High School Guitar Day is a free annual event that brings together teens from numerous schools in the NYC metro area. The fourth annual Guitar Day offered performances and workshops spanning a breadth of areas from Funk (Chris Bergson) to Flamenco (Dennis Koster) to Songwriting (Ann Klein and Allison Cornell), Classical (Benjamin Verdery) and, a popular new addition with Sound Recording (David Veslocki) in the school’s state of the art music technology lab. At a time when the opportunity to explore the world and your own sense of identity is so crucial, participants are called together to celebrate their passion for the guitar with like-minded individuals, and are exposed to genres perhaps lesser known and celebrated by the average 16 year old.

If you have ever had the joy of witnessing 100 guitarists rock out to Proud Mary at the same time, only then might you have an idea of the awesome spirit that is High School Guitar Day. In the words of a student at the closing concert, you may just “want to play guitar forever, and never stop.”
