MUSICALHQS TASK #002: PLAYLIST

then you get a law degree. || a Jimmy de la Cova playlist

Being from a Hispanic family, Jimmy’s playlist has lots of Hispanic songs and remixes. Growing up around it all times, it’s become somewhat of a comfort for him, and playing jazz music in band and for work now helps make his music taste diverse. 

( full track listing + some song explanations under the cut )

Blackberry Winter, Hilary Kole

This song speaks of a lost love with no chance of return and reminders that come out of the blue. It makes him think of Alex and how he lost the first person he ever truly loved, having to watch as he lost one of the few people who actually cared about him.

Eric Benét Jordan (born October 15, 1966), known professionally as Eric Benét, is an American R&B and neo soul singer-songwriter, who has received a total of four Grammy nominations to date for his musical work.

Biography

Benét was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and is the youngest of five siblings.

Benét sang with a Top 100-style group called Gerard in the late 1980s. Benét, his sister Lisa, and his cousin George Nash Jr. formed a band called Benét and released a self-titled album in 1992, and it went on to sell over 100,000 copies. Two years later, Eric Benét broke onto the music scene with his solo career and signed with Warner Bros. Records, releasing his debut solo album, True to Myself in 1996. His second album, A Day in the Life, was released in 1999 and featured his smash hit "Spend My Life With You (featuring Tamia)".

«Non possiamo permettere che ritornino quelle parole (e quegli atti) della vergogna»: una lettera ai direttori

«Non possiamo permettere che ritornino quelle parole (e quegli atti) della vergogna»: una lettera ai direttori (la pubblica Nazione Indiana qui) Siamo studiosi e studiose, scrittori e scrittrici, preoccupati dal dilagare dell’odio nei media italiani. Odio verso le donne, i migranti, i figli di migranti, la comunità Lgbtq. Un odio che è ormai il piatto principale di moltissimi talk show televisivi nei quali vige da tempo la politica dei microfoni aperti, senza nessuna direzione o controllo. E spesso le parole che escono fuori da alcuni dibattimenti televisivi sono parole che mettono fortemente in crisi o addirittura contraddicono l’essenza stessa della nostra Costituzione, il richiamarsi a un patto antifascista e democratico. L’attentato di Macerata, dove un simpatizzante neonazista ha cercato la strage di uomini e donne africani, è qualcosa che ci interroga nel profondo. Le vittime sono diventate il bersaglio di un uomo la cui azione terroristica si è nutrita della narrazione tossica veicolata non solo da internet ma anche dal mainstream mediatico. Dopo quello che è successo non possiamo restare in silenzio. Serve una maggiore assunzione di responsabilità, serve un nuovo patto fra chi fa comunicazione e i cittadini. Le parole di odio, lo abbiamo visto chiaramente, possono tradursi in atti di violenza omicida. Azioni che, acclamate e imitate, rischiano seriamente di innescare una spirale di violenza. Per noi è evidente che il nodo mediatico ha contribuito a produrre e legittimare lo scatenarsi delle pulsioni peggiori. Per questo chiediamo ai media di non prestare più il fianco alla propaganda d’odio, ma di compiere anzi uno sforzo nel contrastarla. Intere fette di società (per esempio i migranti e i figli di migranti) nella rappresentazione mediatica esistono pressoché solo come stereotipo o nei peggiori dei casi come bersaglio dell’odio, contraltare utile a chi fa di una propaganda scellerata il suo lavoro principale. Sappiamo che nei media lavorano seri professionisti che come noi sono molto preoccupati per la piega degli eventi. Servono contenuti nuovi, modalità diverse, linguaggi aperti e trasparenti. Non possiamo permettere che nel 2018, ad 80 anni dalle leggi razziali, ritornino quelle parole (e quegli atti) della vergogna. Dobbiamo cambiare ora e dobbiamo farlo tutti insieme. Ne va della nostra convivenza e della nostra tenuta democratica. Quello che chiediamo non è un superficiale politically correct. Chiediamo invece una presa in carico di un mondo nuovo, il nostro, che ha bisogno di conoscersi e non odiarsi. Antonio Gramsci scriveva: Il vecchio mondo sta morendo. Quello nuovo tarda a comparire. E in questo chiaroscuro nascono i mostri. Dipende da noi non lasciar nascere questi mostri. Dipende da noi evitare che torni lo spettro del fascismo nelle nostre vite. Per farlo però dobbiamo lavorare in sinergia e cambiare i mezzi di comunicazione. E dobbiamo farlo ora, prima che sia troppo tardi.

Rolling Stones Back-up vocalist Lisa Fischer plays the Berks Jazz FestBy Rob NagyLisa Fischer has spent decades as one of music’s most revered back-up vocalists. Lending her vocal talents to the Rolling Stones, Luther Vandross, Chris Botti, Chaka Kahn, Sting and Tina Turner among many others, Fischer continues to nurture her authenticity as a solo artist.“I feel like my history with the Stones, Tina Turner, Chaka Kahn, I get to use all these different creative spices and experiences,” says Fischer, from her home in New York City. “I’m playful, experimental and I just like to have fun with the melodies and the songs.”“I needed to do everything that I’ve done, playing with the make up, performing and the clothes, different stage settings, just everything that was part of the job requirement,” adds Fischer. “I thought to myself, ‘I don’t think I know who I am as far as who I want to be?’ It’s like everything I had been doing was usually someone else’s perception of what they needed and what they wanted to present which was beautiful but it was their vision. I felt like I just needed to take a breath and be simple and as natural as possible so that I could really not worry so much about who I was presenting. Who I am is who I am going to be. I think in a way that has really helped me build my own feelings about how I feel about myself visually and just the nakedness of that and the fragility of that and feeling honest and imperfect. It’s a lesson for me how to love myself as I am. It has been an interesting journey.”Fischer rose to international prominence in 1991 with the release of her debut album “So Intense.”  Yielding three Top 20 R&B hit singles including the 1992 Grammy Award winning single “How Can I Ease the Pain,” Fischer also won the Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. In spite of her newly found success there was no follow-up album release. Fischer chose to return to her role as a highly sought-after session and touring back-up vocalist.  Capturing the attention of film director Morgan Neville, Fischer was one of the principle subjects, which also featured fellow back-up singers Merry Clayton and Darlene Love in the Oscar winning documentary “20 Feet from Stardom” (2013). Highlighting the oral history of minority back-up singers in the music industry, the film won the Grammy Award in 2015 for Best Music Film.In 2014, Fischer launched a solo tour fronting her own band, the trio Grand Baton. Travelling the world performing at festivals, clubs and concert halls, Fischer and Grand Baton have received critical praise and a fan following that continues to grow. Forging a relationship with the Rolling Stones in 1989, Fischer joined the band’s Steel Wheels concert tour that same year. An electrifying stage presence and a fan favorite, notably in the songs “Monkey Man” and “Gimme Shelter,” she has performed with the band on their subsequent concert tours through 2015.“What you’re giving is from your heart,” says Fischer. “A singer, dancer, musician, painter anyone who is in the arts I think they give from the heart, they really, really do. You want to make people happy. You want to share your joy and your heart ache and the pain and just everything through the music and I think it connects us all and it sort of makes any room that you’re in smaller, more personal according to how you do it and how open you are. Mick and the boys have a way of doing that. Making an audience feel that they are present and that they’re important.”“Life is so crowded,” adds Fischer. “It’s noisy. There’s a million and one to do lists that you don’t want to do but need to be done and emotional stuff that’s going on. Just the stress of everyday living and trying to be OK so you’re constantly trying to balance that madness to the moment. When I get on stage, I don’t think about it at all. I think the music helps me when I call on it to help me. It calms me in another way being able to sing and being able to do a show is always a gift. It’s a focus, a meditation and a prayer and an angst, and a yell. It’s just so many things. It’s everything we need it to be according to what we need in the moment.”Eager to capture their creative energy, Fischer and Grand Baton are working toward the culmination of an impending studio or live album that could be released later this year.“No new release yet,” says Fischer. “We are moving in that direction. I think the biggest issue has been capturing the live energy. It’s difficult to capture that in the studio. I have to figure out how to best capture things and be alive as possible dealing with all the issues of sound. We also thought of doing a live album but again finding the right venue and how to record the sound, I’m thinking about it. There is so much you can’t control. It’s funny, you’ll be on stage and you think this would have been a good night to record but the moment is already gone.”Possessing the talent, determination and being in the right place at the right time, Fischer is grateful for the accolades and opportunities that continue to define her career. “I’m not only satisfied, I’m like shocked,” says Fischer. “You follow the path and you’re just thankful for everything that you get. Any tour, any job, any session, any experience that I get to sing is a gift. It’s not a given and I treat it as such.”“I like to think of myself as someone who is trying her best to make the melodies come alive in a way that is unique for me,” adds Fischer. “I want people to feel a sense of peace.  I want them to have melodies running through their head. And thoughts and impressions and things that help them dream.”
