In my opinion, it might be. The only doubt is about the high note "Tu sei jeeeeeeeeeg"... But for the rest, it could be...

Frank, in his autobiography, recounts that Tom Wilson signed him for MGM after seeing the Mothers' Boogie number at the Whisky a Go Go. Tom thought he had signed a blues band. Then, when he heard the recording of "Who are the brain police?", he had to explain to his superiors that it wasn't exactly a blues band, but almost...

I searched a bit online and found some mp3s of live performances by Joanna in the download section of the site: ¤ milky moon ¤ • Index page The quality of the recordings isn't the best, but I really enjoyed them. She seems extraordinary. Oh, there are also two covers of Jimi Hendrix, "angel" and "little wing," and a video with an interview. Hi everyone.

two reviews, to be precise. :-)

A small service announcement: For the Faust, immediate communicability was neither a virtue nor a flaw: they played on two albums of the pop group that I like the most, Slapp Happy. The albums are "Sort of..." and "Acnalbasac noom". Bye.

The Snowdonia website is nice. I downloaded the superattico video and listened to some mp3s that, to be honest, don't really match my taste. They're nice though. The review is as usual unreadable and filled with useless trivialities. Just the way I like it. Well done.

A few years ago, I saw Gil Evans' orchestra in concert, with some obvious changes in the line-up compared to the one playing on this CD, including Gil's son who took over as the bandleader. A cool and aloof trumpeter, almost awkward, or at least that's how he seemed to me. Great band nonetheless, and the version of "little wing" featuring a solo by a huge black guitarist was always breathtaking.

Very nice review, I’ve never heard of Johanna Newson. But I have a feeling I will be hearing about her soon...

Yes, I understand what you mean, and indeed, if we analyze the musical historical context of the first half of the eighteenth century, the period of the "galant" style, easy both to listen to and to perform, suitable only for a court reception, Bach was doing things that defy comparison. But we also have the historical perspective, and Bach not only holds up against more modern composers; he is an absolute genius, as you yourself have said. Goodbye.

@Squalo, no, I didn't interpret your post as a reduction or trivialization of Bach's music. From what little I know about the piano, which I have studied a bit, I assure you that even today Bach is one of the cornerstones of any pianist's education. Both for the difficulty of the performances and for his stylistic and interpretative rigor. My intervention should rather be seen in this light: chronological classifications based on technique cannot be made. Rather, they should be based on the type of style and the expressiveness of the music. You can relate style to the taste of a particular era. Technique cannot. In terms of virtuosity, Bach has nothing to envy from Liszt or Stravinsky. Moreover, Bach is still one of the most "modern" classical composers, which can only be said about Liszt to a certain extent. In this sense, the phrase "Furthermore, Bach is the classical composer most studied, plundered, or revisited by jazz musicians" should be understood. I hope this makes it clearer. Bye.
