    Jazz Collection: Donald Fagen – Songs in Perfektion Dienstag, 09. Januar, 2018, 20.00 – 21.00 Uhr Samstag, 13. Januar, 2018, 17.06 – 18.30 Uhr (mit Bonustracks) Seit vierzig Jahren schreibt Donald Fagen Songs, und immer haben sie einen speziellen Sound. Aus Blues, Jazz und Funk schuf er zusammen mit seinem Alter Ego Walter Becker perfekt produzierte Songs für ihre Band «Steely Dan». Angefangen hatte Donald Fagen als Auftrags-Songschreiber. Erst mit seiner Band «Steely Dan» konnte er seinen Perfektionismus ausleben, und produzierte zusammen mit Walter Becker Songs nahe beim Jazz und doch mitten in der Popmusik. Den beiden gelang ein seltener Spagat zwischen Intellekt und Groove, und ihre Songtexte sind oft «ironische oder sarkastische Kommentare zur Zeit» (Poplexikon). Der Autor Christian Platz und der Musiker Hans Feigenwinter analysieren zusammen mit Annina Salis die Songs von Donald Fagen.

  • Giving Every Child a Place to Belong
    2020 JOURNAL giving every child a place to belong... 2019 Annual Report Enclosed To my JAFCO family, Driving into the JAFCO Children’s Village these past few months, I observed myself having what I thought to be a strange reaction to being in a leadership role during a global pandemic. On a personal level of course, I was devasted by the enormous, unprecedented loss of life and suffering happening in our world, and I found myself thinking about that a lot, especially while I drove to work on roads that were visibly empty. But then each and every day, something very odd happened the moment I swiped my access control card on the call box at the JAFCO Children’s Village entry gate. One would think that being responsible for three sites in Florida and one in Philadelphia, thousands of children and families, including 28 children living on campus, plus worrying about the health and safety of all of our staff and their families, over $1m in cancelled or re-scheduled fundraising events, our inevitable year-end funding deficit, finding enough masks and hand sanitizer and so much more, you would think that I would feel extremely worried, anxious and stressed. But on the contrary, the moment that I took my seat at my desk in my office and looked out of the window with a beautiful view of the Village, I felt an immediate sense of peace and calm and hopefulness. The pandemic was “gone”. I noticed this and privately I will share with you that I was concerned that maybe I wasn’t taking things seriously enough.

  • Il Software Di Riferimento
    Il software di riferimento Marco Fullone Il fondatore e front man degli Steely Dan è dai primi anni Settanta un personaggio tra i più amati dell’area colta del rock e la sua musica (con o senza Steely) è l’emblema della ricerca estetica e dell’anticonformismo. Il mondo musicale di Fagen è da sempre ispirato al jazz ma filtrato da un gusto di melodia e struttura tipicamente pop, e quando si parla di pop nel suo caso si definisce l’essenza più sofisticata e ricercata di uno stile che ha fatto la fortuna del sound FM losangelino. A ben guardare un album capolavoro come “The Nightfly” appare ancora oggi ben inquadrato nella sua apoca e la caratterizza fortemente, un po’ come avvenne nel 1967 per "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" anche se, per ammissione dello stesso Fagen, l’album si ispirava ad un altro periodo della vita americana, gli anni Sessanta di Eisenhower e Kennedy e al mondo notturno della radio in onde medie (anche la copertina è passata alla storia, recentemente imitata anche da Fiorello per la copertina di Rolling Stone italiano). Di questo album si continua a parlare ancora oggi come di un capitolo fondamentale nell’evoluzione della musica Ha compiuto 25 anni “The The Nightfly Trilogy Nightfly” di Donald Fagen, uno Box 7 Disc Set Comprende i seguenti album: The Nightfly Grammy-nomination “Album of the Year 1982” degli album seminali del pop Winner of the Grand Prix du Disque jazz e forse uno dei dischi più Kamakiriad Grammy-nomination “Album of the Year 1983” Morph the Cat Grammy Winner “Best Surround Sound 2006” rappresentativi degli anni Plus CD di Rarità 10 Extra (B side, live e unreleased demo tracks) Ottanta.
