Is Two Weeks To Late To Send A Thank You

We are all "Tartuffe" Vivaldi

.


This is a note of humor!

I wish to treat in humor, but it requires a talent that I did not feel fit enough. I

indeed an exception in the THEMATIC (if there is one) of my blog to stick to a news item that seems significantly high.

I said that for easy comprehension of people discovering what I speak, I simplified the maximum detail in striving nevertheless follow the facts.
(if this is not the case, I invite those or those who think the opposite to occur).

History:

An association "right-thinking", the NFD (No Smoking Law) has sued a forum and club P1P2C (A Fistful of Cigars).
This club is an association of 1901 non-profit, non sponsored, merely discuss "the pleasures of cigar" on a forum completely confidential.

Reason for complaint: Apology
Risks of smoking: Tens of thousands of dollars in fines and damages. After many twists

, polemic, invective (even insulting), sterile debate and overly passionate in most cases to be constructive, the case ends with a memorandum of agreement between both parties.

A case among many others and that nobody (except the very small percentage of people involved) has heard of ...

I not to restart any controversy here. Let
to simplify it is related to the law that will ban smoking in all public places from 1 January 2008 and now, talk about "tobacco" on the web is wrong, except to take precautions which even pornographic sites are not required!

I just inform.

But perhaps is this too?!

For gradually, sector by sector, step by step and without us knowing if we are not directly involved, our freedom is restricted at an exponential rate!
(I'm not even sure that the image of a cigarette does not attract the wrath of any organization that is ...!)

This "trench warfare" Legal is invisible, odorless , quiet and has the deafening silence of the media already in bad shape and too concerned with survival to continue to do their real work of journalists and information.

I am therefore their place in my tiny level!


But I return to the title of my editorial in which I stated that:

WE are all Tartuffe!

"We", so it too!

Because for a piece of information, made a gesture, a distilled using a "good deed", how many eyes diverted from
"in this that I can not see!"?

Between all the evils that threaten us (and there are many, ranging from the rights to some form of freedom to the protection of the planet), how to react, what priority to give them?

Maybe just relaying the information we have and others do not.

But tell me:

"Why try to simplify everything so that it is so easy to complicate everything! ?

Yes!

And we acquired a kind of genius in this specialty!

Well, here I stop my little plea.

Although probably unnecessary, it is like a bottle into the sea and if you find it, take the trouble to open it and think about it ...

Thanks for reading till the end!

Herniated Disc Andheart Palpitations

After you take out a little Hendrix!

.
How to present the artist that I want you to discover?
(if not already!)

Well, to make it simple and stay in terminology kitchen ... Take
:

From Glenn Gould, a pinch of Isaac Stern, a good dose of Yehudi Menuhin, you add a dash of Keith Richards, a highball glass with Dubliners, sprinkle Stephane Grappelli mixed with Didier Lockwood.

You spend all in a blender by adding progressively: From fishing
Jerry Lee Lewis, Miles Davis, feeling, energy, Johnny Winter and a hint of sensitivity to Samson François.

You serve and topped with a spicy sauce and you get:

... Nigel Kennedy ! The

describe physically easy. His "look" that immediately attracted to him, or the wrath of purists, either sympathy contrarians.



But look does little more than get talked about a few months before falling into oblivion if talent is not there now!

And for talent, there is CarRent difficult (or impossible) to describe, because what about a musician ...
... of everything!

- Revisiting "The Four Seasons" by Vivaldi that twenty years of answering machines had blithely pass by the wayside!
- Resuscitate fabulous violin concertos by Bach and wood!
- interfere rhythms of rock and blues in a concerto by Beethoven!
- Redial and Jimi Hendrix playing "Purple Haze" with a chamber orchestra!
- Improvising with the best jazz soloists at the New Morning!
- Etc ...

In summary, it is not me who said
"No other violinist on Earth would be capable of extraordinary stylistic transition" ...
Commented Times!



But ultimately, it is in concert he gives all its dimensions ...

I was privileged to attend three times and each time it was unforgettable!
(I still have goosebumps thinking about it ...)

So instead of saying too much, I advise you to live.
And as his concerts became increasingly scarce and expensive, and although nothing can replace the physical presence and the alchemy of live
there is a simple solution:
A DVD of one of his memorable appearances came out.
It is "Live at the Citadel ", A concert one evening in 2005 in Carcassonne, where you can explore at their leisure, the old man, his smile and his joie de vivre and especially his unrivaled talent for communicating with an audience!

"Illustrators" American

.
American painting has always reserved a special place in the grand tradition of "Illustrators". As

you always put everything in "boxes"
they were called the "realist school".

Edward Hopper, Grant Wood, Thomas Brenton Norman Rockwell or
were the figureheads.

But succession is there, present, beautiful in its diversity and talent.

Also, I take pleasure to introduce you to (for those who do not know ...) a few small "jewels" of the American school. Whether they

James Bennett, Gary Kelley and Kadir Nelson, they are superbly ignored by European art critics!

They are mostly totally unknown in Europe, and are not listed in any catalog.

For cons, the USA, they are recognized for what they are, ie
real artists if their work does not end up (mostly) in museums!

They offer their talents to "eat" a few fleeting moments ...

... But this is not part of the purpose of art, painting and photography?

Then follow the guide ...



"Scratch" from James Bennet (1987)


"Kermit's Lounge" from James Bennet (1989)


"Orient Express" from Gary Kelley (1990)


"Jail's Blues" from Gary Kelley (1992)


"Marvin Gaye" from Kadir Nelson (1995)



... and most importantly, do not hesitate to get lost!

30 years already!

Today, April 11, 2007 ...
It has been 30 years since Jacques Prevert is gone!

This "touches everything" will be a landmark in almost all the arts!
(no artist "years Prévert" which has been influenced by him!)

And who remembers a poem "Song ?!
Between the "dunce", "The portrait of a bird", "Inventory", etc. ...
Everyone has dreamed a little or a lot by reading it passionately!

I did not want to miss this date,
without a glance, without a word.
But I am not poet ..
I'll just pictures ...


Jacques Prevert (by Robert Doisneau)


Jacques Prevert (by Robert Doisneau)

Sunny days will not make me forget "leaves"
and the inventory of my life There will always be room for ..
... a raccoon!


As another poet said:
"Long, long, long
After the poets have disappeared
Their songs are still running in the streets"
(Charles Trenet)


And to show how he took himself not seriously
one of his last sentence was:
"When I am gone, they have not finished messing around.
They know me better than myself"

It combines perfection of execution and imagination. It
abusing our visual senses and plays with our reason.
He invents new spatial representations and new worlds that exist only in the drawing ....

... For "draw is cheating!"

Let yourself be drawn into her world ...
... and agree that you are abusing your senses!

unclassifiable ... The magic trio

nosfell ... A unique artist ...

No need to search box where you can rate this artist ...


nosfell

It does not exist!

Or she should be able to contain Béjart, Peter Henry (hey, I'll have you speak in greater detail a day), Pink Floyd, Mahler, Stravinsky, John Lee Hooker, Led Zeppelin, Buddy Guy, John Cage, Bob Dylan, Shostakovich, Carolyn Carlson, Miles Davis, Kraftwerk, Klaus Nomi, or Magma (for those who knew ...) and I forget!

Not that he has gathered all their talents of course, but because during one of his concerts, all these names will inevitably come to mind.

I had discovered there is a little over a year.

He was opening act for Suzanne Vega at La Cigale and had almost stole the show!
At the exit, everyone was still reeling from the emotion is, or astonishment, or " shock "he had caused.

December 2006: Reconcert, not anywhere!
Invited by the Centre Pompidou, just that ...
again the feeling of having attended a concert of exception!

February 6, 2007 (it was yesterday ...): Concert Bataclan. And always this impression
unique magic of an unforgettable concert!

Well, you understand, I'm in shock ...

I leave the conclusion to a text (my daughter was written after the December 2006 concert at the Centre Pompidou) which I agree completely:

"There are few artists, artists that are known, the first time they are discovered, they are promised a bright future.
Nosfell part thereof, in the end the only ones who can claim the status of Artist with a capital letter. For invent a character, language, country and especially its music and make them live with intensity at each performance, not carry a tune in search of an improbable tube, in the vain hope of attracting groupies in Backstage ...

More than two hours on stage, a string section in extra cellist and bassist Pierre-Lebourgeois impeccable as usual-, a drummer and a saxophonist, a comprehensive re-orchestration of the entire repertoire and a final rock'nroll more.
It is clear that once again, demanding Nosfell was up to the challenge.
Hétéroclite but inevitably composed of curious, the public has Nosfell book at this magic moment the welcome he deserved, namely three reminders and a standing ovation Beaubourg delighted to finally leave but especially for a richer these memories, one of those emotions that only let the big "

Well, you understand, love and emotion was the same last night (hence my enthusiasm!).




So, remember that happening May 23 in Olympia and that is the promise of an evening absolutely "unique" ...

Beuatician Solliciatation Letter

...

. Or
: When men will live LOVE ...

A little envy bothering me for a while:

You talk and get out of purgatory where there are three singers who have marked me for any part of my youth (and more ...).
They are:
- Felix Leclerc
- Gilles VIGNEAULT
- Robert CHARLEBOIS

Instead of long speeches, I urge you to (re) discover their lyrics are both poetic and "Canadian" but ... Universal!

They each have lots of little masterpieces to their name!

Felix Leclerc with his "haphazard", "Bozo the Clown," "My Shoes", etc. ... Gilles
VIGNEAULT with "My Country" or "The lark angry," "Jack Monoloy" etc. ... Robert
CHARLEBOIS with "Lindberg", "I will return to Montreal," "the wings of an angel", etc. ...

The apotheosis was their concert for the "Super Francofête" in 1974 in Quebec.
They sang together for over two and half hours and ended by the famous song "When men live love ...".

UNFORGETTABLE!

This concert became a disc (not found today):


Coverage "I saw Le Loup, Le Renard, Le Lion"

short, if you have the opportunity and time do not deprive yourself of such pleasure and try to dream with them so on melodies and lyrics worthy of Brassens or Brel!

Believe me, you will not regret the time to rediscover their works!

A small additional indication:
Having attended many of their concerts, some were identical, and the stories / dialogues with the public well represented half the time spent together (often 2h30 ...).
A true communion in all!

Good emotions.

Edward Hopper

Or ... The painter of solitude!

Indeed, as the fabric chosen to illustrate this topic,
The characters he painted seem "suspended" ...

... In their thoughts, loneliness, boredom?

Rather than a long speech, I leave those

or those who discover this artist,
get lost in the world he painted ...


Hotel Room (1931)


Nighthawks (1942) A World

melancholy and silent ...

Realistic and poignant ...

A world where loneliness, alienation, isolation and lack of communication between individuals are overwhelming.

This melancholy realism may be interpreted as "sad."
It is only the image of modern man ...

I hope not to get the blues,
but could not resist the urge to share these images with you!

Moreover, for those who have had the chance to see the film "Bagdad Cafe", very inspired by the world of Hooper, he is the evidence of a "possible solution"!

Gush Of Liquid On Period

Angel or Demon (continued)?

. This
Diana Krall, who was the first of these "Angel or Demon ', here:

Helene Grimaud

What about it?

- that has emerged in the musical world like a shooting star that was installed immediately in the pantheon of great performers?

- that it is "unclassifiable" in every sense of the words, as passionate about science, the mysteries of nature, including animal behavior, as the music itself? Especially

she interprets as little is done before it!

She plays (and therefore did not see) that the works that give it an emotion as it transcends them in the same way that Glenn Gould Bach rescussité:

All concerts are unforgettable!

From 4th piano concerto L. Van Beethoven, she plays with the virtuosity of a Maurizzio Polinni and sensitivity of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli! She spends

indifferently from Chopin to Bartok, Schumann and Rachmaninoff to Gershwin with insolent ease ...!!!

But in any case, she chose the works in their repertoire the more "sensual" and "nostalgic" (especially in Brahms, she knows perfectly)

importantly, every time, with that extra soul ...

I remember one of his interpretations of Brahms, where the last note played, most of the orchestra's eyes were wet!

I will book three images that illustrate its "plurality", its "beauty" and its depth ...







short, if you want to discover this "Angel"
disks are not lacking,
concerts either (allow six months to a year's delay!)

and in the meantime if you want to discover the best:
(What I urge you to do!)

http://helenegrimaud.free.fr/

Just a sample to make you want:

"It's the eternal question: Do artists have to suffer to be on top their art? I do not know. We can see things in two ways. But I think we should at least have
acutely aware of the possibility of suffering, and a sensitivity sufficient " porous "for the suffering of the composer, even if it is external, you reach the point of becoming yours."


Though I try, I did not find his next "Devil" ...
(except unfortunately the one she carries in her since childhood!)
