Ayer, Elton John publicaba en The Guardian un artículo maravilloso en el que habla de sus comienzos en el mundillo musical londinense de los 60, cuando era teclista del pequeño grupo Bluesology, que existió entre 1962 y 1968 y que en septiembre de 1966 se convirtió en la banda de acompañamiento de Long John Baldry,  indiscutiblemente uno de los reyes mod originales junto a Georgie Fame.
Reginald Dwight tuvo que tocar en Bluesology un órgano Hammond que no controlaba. Estuvieron también en el grupo en algún momento el saxofonista Elton Dean y el guitarrista Caleb Quaye, más tarde en la banda del propio Elton.
Fueron importantísimos años de formación para él, años que nunca podrá olvidar, tanto viendo a bandas importantes del momento como comenzando a tocar con Baldry, que había sido líder de The Hoochie Coochie Men y, sobre todo, de Steampacket (con Julie Driscoll, Rod “The Mod” Stewart y Brian Auger), uno de los primeros supergrupos de la música UK.
Elton reivindica en su artículo a los teclistas, en su mayoría organistas, británicos de los 60s, y los iguala en destreza y creatividad a los usualmente mucho más reconocidos guitarristas. Gran y justo artículo. Felicidades.

AllMusic Staff Pick: Elton Dean / Alan Gowen / Hugh Hopper / Dave Sheen / Soft Head Rogue Element
Canterbury scenesters Alan Gowen, Hugh Hopper, Elton Dean and drummer Dave Sheen as Soft Head in France in 1978. The quartet hoped to draw frustrated fans of both Soft Machine and Gilgamesh. This electric jazz date is excellent , primarily due to Gowen's compositions and arrangements that walk a tense line between strictly composed elements and improvisation, and the fire of the band themselves, who are -- on this night anyway -- inspired beyond belief. Thank God somebody recorded it.

El doble elepé "Six" de Soft Machine (CBS, 1973), en el primer corte de la cara C, "The Soft Weed Factor", otro estilo, otra forma, otra dirección distinta para el jazz rock setentero, hipnótica, sencilla, minimalista y emparentada con el krautrock. Otros Soft Machine, precisamente más "soft" y alejados del sonido agresivo de sus comienzos.
El primero de los dos discos de "Six" fue grabado en directo en 1972, conteniendo casi por completo nuevas canciones, con la única excepción de "All White" ("Fifth", 1972). El segundo es de estudio, grabado a finales de ese año.
La principal novedad de este disco en la siempre cambiante formación de Soft Machine fue la inclusión del saxofonista Karl Jenkins de Nucleus ocupando la vacante de Elton Dean (recuerden que Elton John se llama a sí por sus ex compañeros de Bluesology, Elton Dean y Long John Baldry). Como resultado principal, el sonido general del disco es más suave y ligero. La banda la seguían conduciendo el teclista Mike Ratledge y el bajista Hugh Hooper. "Weed" es un tema de Jenkins, precisamente.
En su siguiente álbum, los Softs siguieron el camino abierto por "Weed" en "The German Lesson" & "The French Lesson", que a pesar de ser en apariencia dos temas distintos forman un todo, una unidad, y cierran "Seven" (1973).

I would dare to claim that the number of tribute albums can also define a musician. For instance, I'm not shocked Elton John had many of them, where you can find some gems. For instance, Revamp contains this cover by Queens Of The Stone Age, which might cause you to pause – how could they even tackle Elton John? However, listen to their version to notice how all these genre purisms, such as rockism, are nothing more than pretentious posturing. Good music is good music and I'm sure Josh Homme would've agreed with that. He noticed how Elton John's pieces function to find the overlap with his group's modus operandi. Actually, they share one thing with Elton, i.e. they're both classicists of their styles who are willing to go beyond that.

i’m (regrettably) back on tumblr

howdy!! i’m riley, welcome to my blog <3
i’m 14, enfp or entp depending on who i’m talking to and from england but i want to move to vegas when i’m older
i’m a most likely asexual lesbian, a demigirl and my pronouns are they/she.
i love
cowboys/cowgirls
history in general
poker
the state of nevada (😭)
red dead redemption (i’ve been hyperfixated on it for months, i’m getting an xbox for my birthday so i can *finally* play)
i listen to loads of different types of music but i especially love elton britt, marty robbins, hozier, sufjan stevens, herb alpert and the tijuana brass, glen campbell, dion, the five stars and dean martin
film/filmmaking (my favourite movies are brokeback mountain, rope, 1917 and oppenheimer)

and probably a ton more that i’m forgetting. on this blog i’ll just post stuff related to my interests, specifically the west and the ideas for stories/ocs i have.
i would absolutely love to make some friends!! lmk if you want to talk i would rather not befriend adults though.
i have (self diagnosed with a lot of research/evidence) ocd, c-ptsd and potentially adhd i get pretty attached and reply really quickly once i know you. if you struggle to talk then i’m good at carrying conversation but i just love talking to people so feel free to say whatever 😭
my love language is doing projects/creating shows/books/movies with people so lmk if you want to do something like that with me, i highly doubt anyone will but i have so many ideas for stuff so i’d love to create something with someone
