Jamiroquai

Да уж, Джей с "Роллингами" капитально скорешился, вот и с Ронни выпивает... Правда, Ронни вроде бы сок пьет, но мало ли: лицо-то у него фактурное, да и курит опять же, курилка... Не зря Jamiroquai так долго исполняли "Miss You" на сцене. Кстати, очень классный кавер!

вот ещё оттуда же:

хороши!

а ведь мог бы и ножичком:-)))))

2Игорь Цалер:
мне тоже кавер очень понравился!

2bk:
нет, по-моему взаимопонимание найдено))

вот ещё кадр - тут уже девушка вмешалась)

"вот ещё кадр - тут уже девушка вмешалась)"

во время, а иначе бы точно - ножичком:-)))))))))))))

2bk:

да за что? разве что девушку, за то что вмешалась)

похоже фотки времён как раз этого кавера - у ДжейКея длинные волосы. Наверно как раз обмывают.

Ага, наверное, после того самого выступления в "Миллениуме" решили как-то обсудить, подытожить, так сказать...

Еше раз о корнях Jamiroquai. Хотелось бы привести сюда слова Джея о тех альбомах, которые на него повлияли. Музвкуса ему не занимать, так что все эти пластинки рекомендуются к прослушиванию!

Stevie Wonder: Innervisions (Motown 1973)

I think the first tracks that really hit me were Higher Ground and Golden Lady. I had never heard music that combined so many different elements... the rocky guitar, the clavinet, the weird synthesizers. This was what turned me on to the central core of our sound today. But I still don't know where people got all that stuff about me sounding like Stevie Wonder. Blaack vocies and white voices are very different. And hee's a much bigger guy. I stood next to Stevie Wonder once, and he was fucking huge.

Bob Marley & The Wailers: Natty Dead (Polygram 1975)

I'm noticing that most of these records were actually in the same room, and literally played one after the other. It must have been the same trip, and I turned into a black man. The magic about this album is the way he uses those backing singers, and the notes they hit behind him. You dream about having backing singers like that. Like most of these records, I got into this when I was about 17, when you really shape your outlook, so it's affected everything. if I'd been brought up with Kajagoogoo and Tight Fit things might have been different.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Are You Experienced (MCA 1967)

I remember sitting and being on a trip and not being in a good mood, which is rare for me, and listening to this and it all capturing that experience. Everybody loves this album, don't they? It's raw energy. It's Jimi. It's manic depression. It's very improvised, which I'm into. His drummer was a jazz drummer, that was the beauty of it. And what I love was that here was a black guy and two white guys in the backing band, and the white guys were British.

Roy Ayers Ubiquity: Everybody Loves The Sunshine (Polygram 1976)

I think Roy Ayers makes jazz understandable for people who are not into Thelonious Monk and Coltrane and stuff. I mean I'm not a trained musician, I do everything by vocals and by ear, and so he brought all that stuff into focus for me. And he's the master of the vibraphone. And Everybody Loves The Sunshine is just the living summer track. It's the real leviathan of that age - the fusion of dope-smoking fucking jazzers. It's Central Park on a hot evening. I met him briefly. There was him and Donald Byrd: "Er, er, I just want to say, er, er, I love you, Ray".

Donald Byrd: Places & Spaces (Blue Note 1975)

You don't know this? Fuck, man! Fuck! (paces around and mimes punching the interviewer). Donald Byrd is another one of these people, like Johnny Hammond, Roy Ayers... it's jazz in an understandable form. It has suck freedom, unusual arrangements, really funky changes, and it moves along. That's what I like, music that rolls along. To do music with that tempo and make it boogieable, it's about where they haven't played notees - the spaces. That's what they're masters of. They're masters of the groove.

Earth, Wind & Fire: I Am (Columbia 1979)

It could have been Rays. But it's I AM, and I'll tell you why. Because Boogie Wonderland is just the consummate disco track. I love the philosophy that's placed across the music... the stars and sun and planets and Egyptians. That very '70s awakening in America, everybody doing their thing and wannting to smoke pot and take drugs. I watched one of their live shows in the States and it was unbelieeeeeeeevable. I just watched it and thought, Oh, OK then, I'll become a producer.

Marvin Gaye: Here, My Dear (Motown 1978)

It doesn't quite get you first time. And a lot of songs are quite similarly paced. It's almost like the same song being subtly changed ten differennt ways. A lot of it, lyrically, is about the break-up of his relationship. There's a track called Anger, which is lyrically really brilliant; and there's a track called Time To Get It Together using, a think, a marimba, and it's just dreamy and lovely. He was a deep man at the time, but I think the charlie was eating him up. It's all about struggling and fighting, and you can feel it. Look (pointing at his forearm) it makes the hairs stand right up.

Sly & The Family Stone: Stand! (Epic 1969)

For just the sheer comical, clown-type funkinness of it. It's got roots in doo-wop, which you can hear. And the fact that it's a family; and those brilliant black voices. And also the sketchiness of it. The way people are out of time and the volume's so uneven. The end of Stand! is the biz; it just stands out as one of the funkiest moments. To me it just epitomises B-Boy funk, hip hop funk, miles before its time.

Pleasure: The Best Of Pleasure (Fantasy 1992)

Have you heard any Pleasure? Have you had the Pleeasure? Again, I first listened to this when I was about 16 or 17. At that time I was really just finding my feet and turning over what I wanted to do,a nd this music is so fucking funky. The guitar solo on Joyous is the best, most precise, most rounded, fullbodied solo, with a beginning, middle and end, that I've heard. At the time bands like Pleasure were very much eclipsed by groups like Tower Of Power. But forget Tower Of Power, honestly. Bouncy Lady, Joyous, Glide, Pleasure For Your Pleasure, they're just unreal.
