Vesti bune pentru studentii nostalgici dupa anii din scoala generala. Umbla vorba prin popor (via dob.ro) cum ca Limp Bizkit se reuneste pentru un nou turneu (kids, can you say we’re out of money to buy crack, hockers and dumb cars) si ca pe lista ar fi si Arenele Romane. Hmmm 6 ani intarziere.
In alta ordine de idei, blue mood tonight, asa ca Citizen Cope ft. Santana/Sideways. Apropo de concerte si muzica buna, o sa avem si Santana vara asta. Nu e rau.
Time is short. Continuarea campaniei pentru Erika, campanie din care a facut parte si concertul Habar/Parazitii/Vita De Vie de la inceputul lui decembrie. Anyway, pentru cei care vor sa se distreze si sa faca un lucru bun, ambele in aceasi seara, haideti la Club Fiat 500 Cabaret (Cabaret Tei – Strada Glodeni 3, Bucuresti – harta aici) la orele 19:30 si sa bem un cico ascultand:
- Spin
- Vama
- Directia 5
Hai sa facem o seara misto, sa intindem o mana, sa salvam un copil fara de vina. Biletul va costa 30 RON, bani care vor fi donati integral in contul Erikai.

Stiu nu am mai postat de mult. Aseara am fost la un concert organizat pro bono pentru o fetita cu ceva probleme de sanatate. Mai multe detalii aici si aici si aici. Numai cuvinte de lauda. In total s-au strans 33.000 lei. Clubul a fost cam plin, si muzica buna. Habar au deschis concertul. Perfect necunoscuti pentru mine, au fost o surpriza destul de simpatica. Solistul e castigator de Megastar, as fi stiut daca m-as uita la televizor. Bassistu parca e Unchiu Oase din Familia Adams (poate era lumina de vina). Iar chitaristu a avut o mortiera cu confetii pregatita in varful chitari pentru un moment frumos. By the way, chitara tipului de la voce a fost si ea simpatica. Next, Parazitii. Ok, nu e genul meu preferat. In final, Vita de Vie si, din pacate, prea tarziu pentru mine. Fumul prea mult s-a dovedit a fi kriptonita mea. Mosh piturile au fost sacaitoare. Despot a fost genial. A se urmari pana la final mai jos. Despot rulz
Am nevoie de un traineing de time management. Nu intru in detalii, that’s a story for another time.
Anyway, pentru seara asta jazz. Nu stiu cat e de raspandit jazzul in .ro dar, pentru mine cel putin, e un domeniu nou.

Christopher Stephen Botti or Chris Botti [BOH-tee] (born October 12, 1962) is an American trumpeter and composer. Born in Portland, Oregon and raised in Corvallis, Oregon, he spent two years of his childhood growing up in Italy. His earliest musical influence was his mother, a classically trained pianist and part-time piano teacher.
He plays a Martin Committee Handcraft trumpet made in 1940, and uses a 3 silver plated mouthpiece from Bach made in 1926, having recently retired his 1920 3C Bach mouthpiece. He counts Miles Davis among his most significant influences.
[...]
Botti has also performed or recorded with artists such as Sting, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Chaka Khan, Andrea Bocelli, Jill Scott, Steven Tyler, Paul Buchanan, Josh Groban, Michael Bublé, Dave Koz, Jeff Lorber, David Torn, Roy Hargrove, Paul Simon, Rod Stewart, Clark Terry, Lee Ritenour, Renee Olstead, Burt Bacharach, Paula Cole and Brian Culbertson.

Dupa cum scrie mai sus Chris Botti e trompetistul lui Sting ceea ce explica de ce Sting apare pe cateva trackuri din albumele recente ale lui. Iar cum jazzul se face doar live, la vocal o sa o auziti pe Shawn Colvin
“Shawn Colvin (born January 10, 1956) is a Grammy Award-winning American singer, songwriter and musician.” [Wikipedia]
Enjoy.
Bruce Dickinson e vocea din spatele Iron Maiden. E vocea buna din spatele Iron Maiden, desi e impropriu spus din spatele Iron Maiden. Anyway, anyhow, pe 7 august (ieri pentru ca e trecut de miezul noptii) a fost ziua lui. Bruce e una din cele mai recunoscute voci ale New Wave of British Heavy Meta de acum 30 de ani, dar si una din cele mai bune. A dus Iron Maiden departe, asa ca a hotarat sa aiba o cariera solo, scurta, si foarte ok, cu exceptia unui cover dupa Bohemian Rhapsody cantat alaturi de o soprana. Nu cel mai reusit cover,ok , dar, hei, e doar parearea mea. Pune mana si asculta ca sa-ti faci o parere documentata.
“Like singers such as Joe Elliot, Freddie Mercury, Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford, and many others, Bruce is known for a tenor (high range) singing voice. Dickinson, always noted for his broad range as a singer in comparison to other Iron Maiden front-men, was nicknamed, “The Air Raid Siren,”[5] for much of the 1980s. In the early 1990s he altered his singing style, becoming more guttural and raw presumably to fit the stripped-down rock sound of albums like No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark. After leaving Iron Maiden, he varied his singing style, from the theatrical style of “Tears of the Dragon,” to the raw bluesy style of “Inertia.”
Since returning to Iron Maiden, Dickinson has experimented with his voice, adopting a soft reflective sound for songs such as “Journeyman, ” and “For the Greater Good of God,” a raw rock style for songs like “Wildest Dreams,” and a style much like Genesis era Peter Gabriel on “The Legacy”. However, he mostly uses the high-pitched, melodic vocals that he used in the 1980s.” [Wikipedia]
La 50 de ani ai lui, Bruce inca face spectacol si s-a vazut la Bucuresti. Asa ca: Burce Dickinson – Tears of the dragon live, pentru ca poate, la Sao Paulo, Brazil. Enjoy.
