Chris Duarte Group Biografia from Austin, Texas Nella visione musi- cale di Chris Duarte il viaggio è impor- tante come la desti- nazione, forse perfi- no di più. Dalla sua prima appa- rizione nella metà degli anni 90, in Austin, Texas, Duarte ha forgiato nuo- vi sentieri per il blues ed esplorato numerose nuo- ve creative espressioni musicali. Lodato per la sua squi- sita abilità e vivida tona- lità delle sue “six-string Group work”, nell’ultimo decen- nio Duarte ha dimostrato il suo considerabile ardo- re sia come compositore che come cantante e lea- der. Il suo talento lo incita ad accedere al Blues che lo esalta come un “genio”, ma Duarte dimostra il suo lavoro in molto altri fondamentali e fluidi contesti. “Io sono un musicista che è continuamente alla ricerca di migliori strade per andare dal punto A al punto B, e per migliorare la mia abilità. Non sono esattamente contento di stare in un posto”. In Romp, il secondo cd di Chris Duarte prodotto dalla Zoe/Rounder Records, la band è guidata nella corsa attraverso l’abbondanza dei locali sulle mappe musicali. Prodot- to da Dennis Herring, è stato l’album del debutto di Duarte. A cosa Duarte si riferisce con “that funky North Mississippi thing they’ve got going on” pervade i titoli delle sue tracce, scritti da Junior Kimbrough, sopra il quale Duarte e la sua band scalano il metallico volume dei juke joints blues, includendo un sincopatico latin Groove in “Fire’s Gone out”, una rivisitazione interpretativa di Bob Dylan “One More Cup of coffee”, la classica andatura texana in “Bd Blues” e chiudendo poi con un aggraziato gospel “Take it to the Lord”. Chris Duarte Chris Slang Music Via S.Francesco, 3 - 25075 Nave (BS) Tel. 0302531536 - Fax 0302536348 - Cell. 3356715992 www.slangmusic.com - [email protected] Duarte è un fan quanto un musicista, prende alcune battute iniziali dai suoi eroi, no- bili e amici e le fa sue; 101 sono le jam di Jimi Hendrix in cui si distingue il fascino di Duarte, mentre in “Like Eric” paga la fedeltà al suo amico e compagno Austinite Eric Johnson (c’è anche un cenno alla storia nel suo titolo, inspirato dalla canzone “Like Sonny” di John Coltrane, scritto nello spirito di Sonny Rollins). “My My” si riferisce alla sonica esplosione di Jon Spencer mentre “Mr Neighbor” ci informa sull’ammirazione di Duarte per lo scrittore Elvis Costello e, nel passaggio finale, troviamo il melodico spirito di John Lennon. In tutti i suoi album Duarte usa il blues come punto di partenza per esplorare un universo musicale senza confini. Il suo approccio alla musica denota ancor più il suo talento e una ricerca che lo fanno musicista di avanguardia. “Le chiusure e le aperture” di Duarte e l’approccio esplorativo, possono essere un abbozzo della sua iniziale esplorazione nel fare musica. Quando vede “Fiddler on the Roof” in TV è ancora un ragazzo. “Immediatamente volevo suonare qualcosa. Non ebbi uno strumento per le mani per ben 8 anni, ma il seme era piantato”. Nei suo primi anni, cresciuto in San Antonio, Texas, Duarte inizia a imparare a suo- nare la chitarra dal fratello più grande mentre scava voracemente in qualsiasi cosa Group dai Beatles ai Rolling Stones a Black Sabbath al punk rock. A 14 anni ha la sua prima chitarra elettrica con la quale serra una devozionale connessione e tutte le sue pos- sibilità. Nel 1979, all’età di 16 anni, Duarte si sposta ad Austin “e compra una Stratocaster del ‘63 per 500 dollari”. Inizialmente esplora il suo amore per il Jazz di Coltrane, Miles Davis e John McLaughlin, ma era divertito dal blues epifanico che aveva ascoltato dal famoso Stevie Ray Vaughan al Continental Club. “Il Blues è il re di Austin” dice Duarte che presto si guadagna una nome nella musica blues. Suonando con i favoriti musicisti texani quali Bobby Marck & Night Train e Ju- nior Medlow & the bad Boys, velocemente si costruisce una reputazione come ”una nuova calda pistola in una città con un esercito di chitarristi talentuosi”. Allo stesso tempo scava nel lavoro delle leggende chitarristiche di Austin come Jimmie Vaughan, Denny Freeman e Derek O’Brein, pagando speciali note alla fondazione ritmica che è il marchio di garanzia del Lone Star Blues style. Duarte ha un improvvisato spirito creativo che lo associa fortemente con il suo patner da lungo tempo, il bassista John Jordan, e che lo ha fatto conoscere nei primi anni 90. “Io vorrei solo uscire da qua e suonare le idee e le voci che sento nella mia testa,” lui ricorda. Ha vinto la maggiore etichetta di distribuzione con la Silverstone Records con la quale ha realizzato Texas Sugar/Strat magik nel 1994 considerato immediatamente un grande lavoro. È stato nominato “Best Blues Guitarist” nei Guitar Player’s del Chris Duarte Chris Slang Music Via S.Francesco, 3 - 25075 Nave (BS) Tel. 0302531536 - Fax 0302536348 - Cell. 3356715992 www.slangmusic.com - [email protected] 1995 ed è finito nella quarta posizione, accanto a Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy e B.B. King, nella rivista “Best Blues Guitarist”; ma qualcosa molto più della sua magica chi- tarra blues era al lavoro nella Chris Duarte Band. Una rivista per musicisti lo elogia dicendo “Duarte è un taglio estremo, dal funk al punk,da Hendrix a B.B. King, tutto contrassegnato dal suo suono caratteristico, dal suond della sua Stratocaster e da un ingegnoso uso di esempi, loop ed elettronica.” Love is greater than Me, è il suo debutto nel 2000 anche promosso dall’ espansione del lessico di Duarte con soffi di grunge, jazz e funk in mezzo al rock blues. Durante tutta la loro strada, la Chris Duarte Band è balzata tra vibrazioni e fremiti su innumerevoli palchi, calcando un buon mezzo milione di miglia nel loro attendibile van acquistato nel 1996. Ora con il nuovo batterista Ed Miles ha registrato il suo nuovo lavoro “on Romp”, con il quale si è firmamente fissato nel futuro. Dopo tutto, il viaggio è ancora nella sua mano. “Io so di avere ancora una lunga strada da fare” conclude Duarte. “È tutto intorno all’esplorazione della musica e nel vedere cos’altro è ancora fuori di qui. Questo è quello che mi incita come anche avere un buon feeling con il pubblico. Non c’è nulla come quando sei sul pal- co e ti muovi con il pubblico, è un incredibile feeling.” sito ufficiale: www.chrisduartegroupfans.org o www.myspace.com/chrisduartegroup Line-up Chris DUARTE (USA) - Guitar, vocals Jeff REILLY(USA) - Drums Joseph Patrick MOORE (USA) - Bass Slang Music Via S.Francesco, 3 - 25075 Nave (BS) Tel. 0302531536 - Fax 0302536348 - Cell. 3356715992 www.slangmusic.com - [email protected] Discografia CHRIS DUARTE & The BAD BOYS (1987) SRS Records Registrato ai SRS Records’ Studios da Giugno-Settembre nel 1986, Austin, Texas.

  • Doyle Bramhall
    BIO DOYLE BRAMHALL It’s apropos that DOYLE BRAMHALL’s new Yep Roc CD is titled Is It News because, although they’re absolutely true to his deep roots in the blues, its dozen original tunes mark a turning point that is both ambitious and the logical summation of his artistic evolution. The answer to the forward- thinking, envelope-pushing CD’s title is a resounding yes—and the news is all good! “I wanted to make an all-original record that was big, energetic, intimate, and unpredictable,” Doyle states. “We got a lot of the sounds by pushing everything to the limit and then pulling it back from there.” Fans already accustomed to Doyle’s high standards and willingness to chart new territory will nonetheless be pleased and surprised at just how high he raises the bar. This instant classic is the benchmark of Bramhall’s storied career—which is saying a lot! Continuing the tradition he started with the songs he co-wrote with Stevie Ray Vaughan, which struck a chord with the biggest audience the blues has ever enjoyed, he deftly expands the idiom’s vocabulary and texture. Any discussion of Texas blues, be it T-Bone Walker or Stevie Ray, is incomplete without mention of Doyle Bramhall. As singer, songwriter, and drummer, he has been an integral part of that rich state’s music for almost 40 years and, indeed, one of the founding fathers of the blues/roots resurgence synonymous with the Lone Star state and the migration from Dallas to its musical epicenter, Austin.

    Mark Cloutier Song Samples: Mark Cloutier Radio Sign-up at http://www.radiosubmit.com to download songs for free. 2012 NYS Blues Fest "Guitarists Mark Cloutier and John Hart traded riffs until Hart snapped a string, quickly swapping out guitars and jumping back into the jam. Tunes went from smooth and sexy, thanks to the dark fifth, Cloutier explained, to whammy-powered and grinding with some slide in between. Hendrix, B.B. King and Muddy Waters all got recognized and drawn from throughout the set, one that wrapped up rough and raw, just as some dirty, double barrel blues should." Jessica Novak --Syracuse New Times---2012 NY State Blues Fest http://www.nysbluesfest.com/ Mwe3 Guitar Magazine writes:: "Cloutier is a guitarist sounding clearly inspired by rock guitar greats like Jimi Hendrix and Johnny Winter as well as more traditional blues, R&B and jazz guitarists as diverse as Buddy Guy, Steve Cropper, Robin Trower and Kenny Burrell. In other words, Cloutier is a guitarist who's not afraid to break through with a hard rock riff before moving on to jazzing things up when he has to." ***************************************************************************************** John Hart's splendid song writing and unique singing style (not to mention his swinging guitar groove and slide work) make this band one of a kind. He seems to have lived every note he sings. The Double Barrel Blues Band is a modern blues group taking traditional blues and rock n’ roll and giving birth to an new era in music. Their signature double guitar sound (Mark Cloutier and John Hart) is well known in music circles.

King, T-Bone Walker etc.), this tutorial will keep you pleasantly busy for quite a while. But there’s more to it than that! Besides affording pleasure, these rhythms allow you to discover and study the tools required for a good Blues accompaniment: triads, double stops, single notes, bends, barre chords, slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, rest strokes, binary and shuffle rhythms, etc. All this is included in the guidelines given to you in the preliminary chapter – guidelines regarding the structure, the rhythm, as well as the chords employed. The DVD attached to the tutorial offers you the possibility to mindfully observe all 50 rhythms – first at actual playing speed, then at a slower speed. This again gives you the opportunity to closely follow the movement of the hands, to choose the right fingerings and keep a steady beat(!) For its part, the mp3 CD is composed of as many backing tracks as there are rhythms in the tutorial; the 50 backing tracks are recorded at two different tempi: the intended tempo (actual playing speed) and the rehearsal tempo (slower speed). The backing tracks provided here are of an appropriate length (about 4 to 5 minutes each, which sums up to almost 7 h of musical practice). This means that you have enough time at your disposal to practice under the best conditions.
