Von Cello, the first cellist
Von Cello, the first cellist to perform a Hendrix influenced Star Spangled Banner (starting in the 1970's), is seen here playing the Star Spangled Banner and Purple Haze for the New Directions Cello Festival, at the University of Connecticut in the 1990's. This performance predated the formation of Von Cello, the band. Calling itself the Aaron Minsky Trio, the group included Tom Charlap on bass, and Joe Carozza on drums.
On this video we first see Von Cello playing the anthem, then joined by the band as he launches into Purple Haze. Afterwards we hear the same version of Purple Haze with a better mix (taken directly from the mixing board) with psychedelic images in the background.
Aaron Minsky is famous in the cello world as the composer of over a dozen music books published by Oxford University Press. His pieces are performed, taught, and recorded around the world. He is a Yamaha Artist, a D'Addario Artist, and in Who's Who. He started out in music as a rock guitarist but become a classical cellist in his late teens. His goal, however, was to one day combine his rock guitar knowledge with his classical cello knowledge creating a new rock style of cello playing. He calls his new style: "Celtar", the combining of cello and guitar.
He had mixed feelings about demonstrating his rock style at a cello convention, fearing that the other cellists would not approve. As you can hear on the video, the crowd "went nuts", leading Aaron to realize that the time had indeed come for him to re-enter the world of rock. Shortly after this event the Von Cello Band was formed, the first rock cello fronted rock power trio in history! You can find out much more here: http://www.voncello.com
