Sounds That Have Been Made, EP 95: Amp Fiddler, Live in Montreaux 2004

I think the first time I saw the name Amp Fiddler was as a sessioner in the liner notes to Maxwell‘s debut LP The Urban Hang Suite, a sumptuous, meandering neo-soul affair that sits as timeless as any classic from Sade, Meshell, Bill Withers, or anyone else.  The next time I saw him mentioned was in Straight No Chaser magazine, where his sophomore solo album, Waltz of a Ghetto Fly, was coming…

I wanna say thank you for the Freddie Mercury posting. He was my idol growing up and how I realized I was a gay man. It makes me even happier that he and I are both into fat guys!

same!! he helped me realize I was transmasc & is the whole reason I began to accept my sexuality 💖 he is very near and dear to my heart.

Song Review: Iggy Pop - “Modern Day Ripoff” (Live)

Playing fast and tight with the tune, Iggy Pop and his band were similarly cacophonous and abrasive on “Modern Day Ripoff” at the 2023 Montreux Jazz Festival.

This was by design, of course. But it’s something only a through-and-through punk could love and sounds particularly grating in the wake of “Five Foot One” and “The Passenger” preceding the Jan. 24 release of Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2023.

It’s a fuckin’ ripoff, Pop shrieks as his band thrashes behind him, horns blaring, piano pounding and guitars snarling.

Fun for moshing in the moment. Less so for listening at home.

Review: The Fae Menagerie (Fortune Favors the Fae #5) by Edie Montreaux

Rating: 3.5🌈 The Fae Managerie by Edie Montreaux is the fifth book in this fabulous multi author fantasy series and I found it very entertaining. While the traveling magical coin is not as much of a character element as it is in the other books, it serves as the item that will bind together two the highly different main characters here. The concept is interesting if not fully developed or…

Lucio Dalla - 4 Marzo 1943 (Video Live)

❤️❤️❤️

Oggi è il 4 Marzo, ed in questo giorno, nel 1943, a Bologna nasceva il grande cantante Lucio Dalla. Veniva da una formazione musicale jazzistica (suonava il pianoforte e con grande abilità anche il sax ed il clarinetto), iniziò la sua carriera nella “Rheno Dixieland Band” suonando con Pupi Avati (che divenne poi regista) e con la quale vinse il primo Festival Europeo del Jazz, ad Antibes. Divenuto un virtuoso del clarinetto, ebbe in seguito occasione di suonare con grandi del Jazz mondiale come Chet Baker, Bud Powell, Charles Mingus ed Eric Dolphy, Iniziò l'attività di cantante negli anni '60, con i “Flippers”, che furono anche il gruppo di supporto di Edoardo Vianello, ma durante il Cantagiro del 1963, Gino Paoli lo convinse ad intraprendere la carriera da solista e nel 1964 Lucio Dalla incise il suo primo singolo come leader, scrivendo le musiche. Fu personaggio molto stravagante ed anticonvenzionale. Partecipò al Festival di Sanremo in diverse edizioni e da lì, grazie alla sua originalità ed alle sue particolari doti canore, iniziò il suo successo nazionale. Nei primi anni '70 per i testi chiese la collaborazione al poeta bolognese Roberto Roversi, e pubblicò tre long playing considerati fondamentali per la sua carriera. Nella maturità del suo percorso fu anche paroliere ed autore dei suoi testi affermandosi come uno tra i più innovativi cantautori italiani e donando alle sue composizioni un rapporto tra testi e ricerca qualitativa musicale tra i più significativi di tutta la storia cantautoriale italiana. Morì nel 2012, a Montreaux, in Svizzera, a 69 anni..
