Hvad hører du nu ?

Danskere er et troende folkefærd, eller er det godtroende? DSB synes ikke man behøver at vedligeholde skinnerne, man kører bare hurtigt over problemerne !

Da mastodont krydstogtskibet skulle under storebæltsbroen satte man bare farten op så regnede man med at skibet blev presset længere ned i vandet. Under bæltestedet om man så må sige.     

Man må tro  

Nå – det er sikrere at lade Duke og Strayhorn spille ”Take the A Train”, men god rejse Kibri!

En lille afstikker fra jazzen:

To nyheder...




Elvis Costello/Allan Toussaint - The River In Reverse. Deres reaktion på New Orleans katastrofen - fremragende skive. Med hjælp fra The Imposters + Anthony Brown + The Crescent City Horns.

Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped. Mere poppet en normalt og med noget der ligner normale sang-strukturer - har jeg læst. Glæder mig til at lytte.

[vilmann]

og så behøver man ikke engang være fan for at nyde den....

/vilmann

[vilmann]

Den behøver vist ikke så meget præsentation......

Zaka: fortæl gerne lidt mere om den Costello/Toussaint skive

[SES.]

Efter en fantastisk fredag med masser af nye input (rock/prog/jazz mm), er lørdagen gået i samme spor. Den fantastiske lørdag aften på terrassen med varme og smukke farver fik os til at skifte til klassisk, og denne uundværlige CD.

Peirre-Laurent Aimard – Piano

Pierre-Laurent Aimard is one of the most exciting pianists performing today. He has developed a remarkable career, performing contemporary music and collaborating closely with Olivier Messiaen, Pierre Boulez and Gyorgy Ligeti, yet refusing to be pigeonholed as he continues to explore a broad range of music from different ages and sources.

Last year, for the second year in a row, he was nominated for a Grammy award. During the past year he has made his Carnegie Hall debut (recorded live and released on Teldec) and performed the Dvorak Piano Concerto with Nikolaus Harnoncourt and the Royal Concertgebouw (recorded live by Teldec, to be released this autumn). He has also given the world premiere of Ligeti’s 18th Etude (recorded for Teldec and released in April this year to commemorate Ligeti’s 80th birthday) and did a European tour with Alfred Brendel in which Aimard played the piano and Brendel read from a book of his own poetry entitled One Finger Too Many.

Fredagens inspirationer er skyld i dette aftenprogram. Lyden blev i forbavsende grad forbedret efter at hvert stik er blevet poleret.


Riding on the success of their hit single "Hocus Pocus" from the revolutionary Moving Waves album, Focus got to work on this, their third LP in four years. While the debut album features a style not too dissimilar to the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band, Focus' second LP Moving Waves is purely instrumental and wholly serious-minded. Focus III keeps this same sound, but approaches it with a jollier, more accessible tone. As with its predecessor, Focus III features only one tune that would be in with a chance of being a hit single. The enjoyable rhythm of "Sylvia," partnered with Jan Akkerman's victorious guitar solo, some of Van Leer's finest organ-work, Bert Ruiter's tight basslines, and Pierre Van Der Linden's mellow drumming assured the track classic status. "Sylvia" found worldwide success and gained the band valuable radio and press exposure. The song remains one of the most loved and best remembered songs from Focus' catalog. The consistence in musical quality throughout Focus III is enough to merit any listeners' respect. To be frank, this LP has it all: diverse songs, astounding musicianship, one of the finest singles ever released — Focus III should unquestionably be ranked alongside the likes of Revolver and Dark Side of the Moon and any others of rock's greatest.



Marblehead Messenger, while better played and sung, didn't have the appeal that their previous effort seemed to. But it is much more of a band effort, and the tunes are well worth seeking out and enjoying. A forgotten jewel of its time.



In Search of the Lost Chord is the album on which the Moody Blues discovered drugs and mysticism as a basis for songwriting and came up with a compelling psychedelic creation, filled with songs about Timothy Leary and the astral plane and other psychedelic-era concerns. They dumped the orchestra this time out in favor of Mike Pinder's Mellotron, which was a more than adequate substitute, and the rest of the band joined in with flutes, sitar, tablas, and cellos, the playing of which was mostly learned on the spot. The whole album was one big experiment to see how far the group could go with any instruments they could find, thus making this album a rather close cousin to the Beatles' records of the same era. It is all beautiful and elegant, and "Legend of a Mind"'s chorus about "Timothy Leary's dead/Oh, no — he's outside, looking in" ended up anticipating reality; upon his death in 1996, Leary was cremated and launched into space on a privately owned satellite, with the remains of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry (another '60s pop culture icon) and other well-heeled clients.

Herlige plader...

I går:



En stor overraskelse.. Tænk JJ Cale-/Knopfler guitar, med Billy Joel-sangskrivning. Ikke meget info ellers.. han har åbenbart holdt "pause" fra ´65 til ´80!

 

EDIT!! Argh... en søgning gav mere.. har spillet med alt og alle, bl.a. Janis Ian "Between The Lines" og P. Simon "Songs From The Capeman"...

Skam på mig...

[zaka]

SES, jeg kan ikke lige gennemskue hvad "fredagens inspirationer" er for noget - det lyder spændende. Kan du fortælle lidt mere?  

Jeg har lyttet til:



Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly fra 1973 på Atlantic. Hun synger mildest talt godt og selv om hittet Killing Me Softly er blevet skamspillet i radioen og Shu-hu-bi-du-hu-ahh har gjort deres for at ødelægge det, så holder det stadig.

Og så har Costello/Toussaint været på heavy rotation - jeg skal nok skrive mere om den en af dagene vilmann.

He he

Jamen såmænd lidt fynsk pladecrawl med Kibri, derefter fixede Mr. Analog  unoder i anlægget og derefter mange timers musiklyt.

 

Det er uendeligt inspirerende at få nye vinkler på de plader man har, og sidde i timevis med en musikelsker og lytte og snakke.

 

Her er en mere – må indrømme efter stikpolering at Pastorius og Di Meola gjorde sig stærkt positivt bemærket.

 

 

One of the guitar heroes of fusion, Al di Meola was just 22-years-old at the time of his debut as a leader but already a veteran of Chick Corea's Return to Forever. The complex pieces (which include the three-part "Suite-Golden Dawn," an acoustic duet with Corea on "Short Tales of the Black Forest," and a brief Bach violin sonata show di Meola's range even at this early stage. With assistance from such top players as bassists Jaco Pastorius and Stanley Clarke, keyboardist Barry Miles, and drummers Lenny White and Steve Gadd, this was a very impressive beginning to di Meola's solo career.

 

….. og bl.a. skal disse lige checkes i Moby Disc i frokostpausen: Jeff Beck, America, McTell, Mandel, Blues Project og DiMeola - er blevet lidt vild i varmen.

 

ps: hvem bliver no 1000 !!!!  - Zaka, Villman, Kibri, Becker????

[zaka]

Tak SES, så giver det mening igen . Det lyder absolut hyggeligt...og lærerigt.

Al i Meola er jeg ikke så stiv i - har kun Friday Night In San Francisco. Skal jeg vist have lavet om på.

ps: hvem bliver no 1000 !!!!  - Zaka, Villman, Kibri, Becker????

Jeg åbner gerne spurten, så kan det jo være jeg, som en anden Jens Voight, kører den hjem fra spids .

Nu:



Ignacio Berroa's debut. På Blue Note fra 2006. Fremragende trommeslager som bl.a. har spillet fast med Dizzy Gillespie i en periode.

Med sig har han et suverænt hold som tæller bla. Gonzalo Rubalcaba på piano og David Sanchez på sax.

Fantastisk blend af latin og nordamerikansk jazz - kan stærkt anbefales.

[gurdet]

 

ps: hvem bliver no 1000 !!!!  - Zaka, Villman, Kibri, Becker????

 

Nå men - så tager jeg den sidste frikadelle - undskyld

 

Denne:

 

Danielson: Ships.

Købt på fremragende anmeldelser, men den er faktisk svær at holde af, der er for meget af alting - man bliver nærmest fysisk udmattet af at lytte til den.

 

Mvh

[vilmann]

Så starter jeg på et nyt millenium....

Lidt stille after work blues



/vilmann

[zaka]

Aj, taktikken holdt ikke  



Volker Kriegel - Star Edition. MPS opsamling fra 71-77.
Han er en af mine favoritter blandt jazz-guitaristerne.

[vilmann]

Bare lige lidt hygge til aftenkaffen:



Der er en virkelig fed og ret syret version af Hey Joe  

/vilmann

[SES.]

Tillykke Gurdet! Timing vigtig.

Jeg fik i fredags anbefalet Waits og Gayle ”One from the Heart” men købte den først i dag + en masse andet .



og de charmer lige nu på livet løs .

Om lidt vil jeg følge Vilmanns eksempel ”Dreamland” måske bliver det i praksis. Dream.........
