    MUSIQUE BLUES Fred Chapellier Best of 25 years on the road Si le Blues est la musique de toute une vie, alors on ne peut que se réjouir de la parution de ce double CD (studio + live) célébrant les 25 premières années de la carrière de Fred Chapellier ! Car cela signifie "juste" que cette compilation n'est qu'une étape dans un cheminement qui nous réservera beaucoup d'autres opportunités de louer le talent hors-normes de cet artiste attachant. Car s'il est une qualité à mettre en exergue chez Fred Chapellier, c'est bien celle de la richesse de sa palette. Les 32 titres de ce double CD (18 en version Studio, 14 en version Live) en sont la preuve éclatante. Si le Blues reste le fil rouge de l'ouvrage, la soul n'est jamais loin ! 1.1 CHA BLUES JAZZ Matthew Tavares and Leland Whitty Visions Visions est un nouvel album collaboratif des co-fondateurs de BadBadNotGood, Matthew Tavares et Leland Whitty. Les producteurs multi-platine primés aux Grammy Awards jouent et écrivent de la musique ensemble depuis 10 ans.

  • ALOE BLACC in Den Jahren Seit Der Veröffentlichung
    ALOE BLACC In den Jahren seit der Veröffentlichung seines letzten Albums „Lift Your Spirit“ hat der internationale Superstar an einem Projekt gearbeitet, welches ihm sogar noch mehr am Herzen lag: Seiner Familie. Die Tracks auf „All Love Everything“ wurden stark von Aloes neuer Rolle als Familienvater geprägt und stellen die allererste Songsammlung des Singer/ Songwriters dar, die er als Vater komponierte. Eine Reise, auf der er seine ohnehin schon tiefgehende künstlerische Palette noch ausbaut und erweitert. „Als werdender Vater wollte ich diese Erfahrungen unbedingt innerhalb meiner Musik teilen“, so Aloe über die große Herausforderung, ein so einschneidendes Erlebnis in Text und Melodie zu übersetzen. Wobei die Hörer, die Blaccs Karriere über den Zeitraum von nunmehr 14 Jahren aufmerksam mitverfolgt haben, sich sicher seines besonderen Umgangs mit Sprache und Klang bewusst geworden sind. Falls sich irgendjemand erfolgreich dieser Aufgabe stellen kann, dann er. Der Sohn panamaischer Einwanderer ist in Süd-Kalifornien zu Klängen wie Salsa, Merengue und Cumbia aufgewachsen. Ursprünglich noch dem HipHop zugetan, probierte er sich mit seiner gefühlvoll souligen Stimme schon bald in andere Richtungen aus. Über drei Alben entwickelte sich sein Sound, wuchs, und fand schließlich seine ganze eigene Nische, die die lange und wunderbare Geschichte des amerikanischen Soul mit zeitlosem, bilderstarkem Songwriting kombiniert. Songs, die sich mit der unendlich weiten Palette der menschlichen Erfahrungen beschäftigen; angefangen bei platonischer Liebe bis zu seiner Liebe für die Menschlichkeit, von Politik bis zu persönlichen Sehnsüchten. Ebenso vielfältig wie auch mitfühlend gestaltet sich sein Songwriting auf nahezu klassische Weise, die eine Kategorisierung irrelevant macht. Tatsächlich wurden Blaccs Texte bisher sowohl mit Dancemusic, als auch Country kombiniert – und berührten seine Hörer nichtsdestotrotz tief.

    Sounds From the Street Benjamin Gates on Busking, Part 1 of 2 Transcribed by William Aitken Benjamin Gates (Guest):You know, it's been great. I started busking... I wanna say... two years ago. [I Need a Dollar by Aloe Blacc starts playing] BG: And through busking, I have landed some pretty amazing opportunities, that I feel... You know, I'm extreamly grateful that I have been given these opportunities. [Song continues to play] Adam Kampe (Host): This is Sounds from the Street, where we get to meet the men and women who define Street Sense, D.C's non-profit media center, dedicated to creating economic opportunities for people experiencing homelessness. I'm your host Adam Kampe. According to Marian Webster a "Busker" is one who entertains in public spaces for donations, and today's guest does just that, cellist Benjamin Gates. (cello music plays) If you live in D.C, you've probably heard Benjamin Gates, either at a local fundraiser, or, most likely, busking outside of one of the metro stations. Born and raised in the area, he self-identifies as a musician for the people, and he demonstrated that when he played the annual Street Sense gala, on October, 1st . BG: And I saw the gallery, and the gallery was on asking homeless people what it was like to be homeless, and the image that you would have seen in this gallery are enough to break you down. It was... I can't explain how touching it was to me as an individual. And it's like..
