Musik der Welt: Jon Cleary - der Engländer in New Orleans Freitag, 20. November 2015, 21.00 - 22.00 Uhr Sonntag, 22. November 18.00 - 19.00 Uhr (Wiederholung) «Ich rede mit britischem Akzent – aber mein musikalischer Akzent kommt aus New Orleans.» Jon Cleary singt, spielt Klavier und alle möglichen sonstigen Instrumente. Aus der Musik-Szene in New Orleans ist er nicht mehr wegzudenken. Kent im Südosten von England ist für einen Briten so weit weg vom amerikanischen Süden wie überhaupt möglich. Für den jungen Jon Cleary aber lag Kent in direkter Nachbarschaft zu New Orleans: Sein Onkel brachte viel Musik nach Hause aus der Crescent City, und vor allem erzählte viele Geschichten von einem magischen Ort, wo musikalisch alles möglich schien. Für den 11jährigen Jon war schnell klar: New Orleans, da wollte er hin, als Musiker. Inzwischen gehört der Engländer Jon Cleary zur Musik-Szene in New Orleans wie wenn er dort zur Welt gekommen wäre.

Opened in early 1974, the Maple Leaf Bar is the oldest continually- functioning music club in the city of New Orleans outside of the French Quarter, and is accorded a share of the credit for the current popularity in New Orleans of the roots music of New Orleans and Louisiana. This will be accomplished by identifying and examining common traits the Maple Leaf Bar shares with prominent clubs from New Orleans’s history, and also by identifying traits that make the Maple Leaf Bar exceptional in this history.

After settling into the quiet comfort of the Ritz Bar, Raitt kicks off her shoes and tucks her feet under her in the cozy brown leather armchair. It has been a hard year. With the loss of both parents and her brother’s fight with brain cancer, Raitt has had to balance her career while absorbing some of life’s toughest blows. Throughout, she has sought solace from the music that moves her, and she is back with Souls Alike, a breathtaking album of songs by contemporary writers whose work she most admires. As inspired as she is inspiring, Raitt has found a collection of songs that shed light on her most personal struggles and triumphs while casting a spotlight on some of today’s most deserving writers. ou usually don’t refer to yourself as about that reflect the more thorny things Bed I Made” and “I Don’t Want Anything to Ya songwriter.

Jon Cleary Bio A respected session and sideman, British blues pianist and composer Jon Cleary has worked with rock, blues, and soul artists like Bonnie Raitt, D’Angelo, Maria Muldaur, Taj Mahal, and Eric Clapton. Originally a guitarist, Cleary began playing at age five, and started his first band at 15. Raised on blues, jazz, and soul records, his love of New Orleans blues and jazz in particular took him across the ocean after he graduated from art school. Upon arriving in New Orleans, Cleary started hanging out at one of the city’s most storied venues — the Maple Leaf Club. The bar’s owner offered him a job painting the Maple Leaf’s exterior; free admission and beer were Cleary’s wages. He soaked up the bar’s atmosphere, realizing that blues piano was his calling; the house he lived in had a piano, on which he spent hours practicing each day. Returning to London culminated in forming a traditional six-piece New Orleans R&B band, with which he developed a reputation as a talented and gentlemanly musician. However, the Big Easy called to Cleary again. He moved back and got bookings in clubs as a featured and side performer, playing with bluesmen like Smokey Johnson, James Singleton, and George Porter. One of these gigs found Walter “Wolfman” Washington in the audience; taken with Cleary’s playing, Washington offered Cleary a spot in his own band. Cleary played with Washington for two years, continuing his introduction to more sophisticated forms of R&B and blues, as well as incorporating Latin influences into his style.

Jon Cleary :: Bio 2020
JON CLEARY :: BIO 2020 Jon Cleary’s love and affinity for New Orleans music goes back to the rural British village of Cranbrook, Kent, where he was raised in a musical family. Cleary’s maternal grandparents performed in London in the 1940s, under the respective stage names Sweet Dolly Daydream and Frank Neville, The Little Fellow With The Educated Feet – she as a singer, and he as a crooner and tap dancer. As a teen Cleary grew increasingly interested in funk-infused music and discovered that three such songs that he particularly admired – LaBelle’s “Lady Marmalade,” Robert Palmer’s version of “Sneakin’ Sally Through the Alley,” and Frankie Miller’s rendition of “Brickyard Blues” – were attributed to Allen Toussaint as either the songwriter, the producer, or both. Cleary’s knowledge of Toussaint’s work expanded significantly when his uncle returned home to the U.K., after a two-year sojourn in New Orleans, with a copy of a Toussaint LP and two suitcases full of New Orleans R&B 45s. In 1981 Cleary flew to New Orleans for an initial pilgrimage and took a cab straight from the airport to the Maple Leaf Bar, a storied venue which then featured such great blues-rooted eclectic pianists as Roosevelt Sykes and James Booker. Cleary first worked at the Maple Leaf as a painter, but soon graduated to playing piano there – even though his first instrument was the guitar, which he still plays and has recently reintroduced into his live performances. As word of Cleary’s burgeoning talent began to spread around town, he was hired by such New Orleans R&B legends as Snooks Eaglin, Earl “Trick Bag” King, Johnny Adams, and Jessie “Ooh Poo Pah Doo” Hill, while also gaining the respect of the great Crescent City pianists Dr.
