Lionel Loueke : A la Balance Au Festival Jazz & Wine 2012 Herbie Hancock Quartet ©filipekfotoshoot

Merci, Merci, Merci à Lionel Loueke de m'avoir accordé quelques moments inoubliables..." La Vie en Rose " Version Solo Sauce Lionel Loueke "cela m'a bien fait quelque chose"! Grandiose ! Guitariste, Vocaliste, avec un Coeur grand ouvert. Une musique à la fois métissée riche et colorée; sans cesse renouvelée. Quant à son Son, il est reconnaissable entre mille... à savoir Unique. Chapeau bas l'Artiste !

en attendant Herbie Hancock ...The Star... Merci aussi à James Genus avec qui on a bien parlé Bass & Bassist; un bassiste qui peut être aussi puissant avec un Son bien lourd et dynamique que précis dans ses envolées lyriques dans le genre Guitar Bass 5 cordes avec un jeu rappelant quelque peu celui du bassiste John Pattitucci. Merci à Trevor Lawrence Jr Batteur à la présence incontestable, au jeu fort & percutant; bref du lourd et du costaud qu'a su alléger à souhait et à merveille Lionel Loueke par un style et un Son au final plus fin; taillé comme du cristal ... Un diamant.

KCRW Presents Esperanza Spalding

Spalding treated the Morning Becomes Eclectic crew to a full-band in-studio performance during a recent visit to Santa Monica. Watch Spalding and company perform "Smile Like That" from Radio Music Society. The entire performance is available on KCRW.com.

Grammy-winning singer and bass player Esperanza Spalding recently led her band, including a large horn section, through a set of jazzy jams in the KCRW studios. Watching her play funky bass lines while singing with incredible range and soul was truly a sight to behold, especially in "Smile Like That.

Pas d' Hommes & Bill Frisell : Tiny Desk Concert

It was early, maybe half an hour before Bill Frisell was set to arrive for his Tiny Desk Concert.

Already, a crowd here at NPR was buzzing around, waiting to hear Frisell make his magic and watching him set up an array of pedals. I've never seen anyone play guitar the way Frisell plays: What I hear is a man on a mission of discovery, where one chord, one note, one effect can send him in unplanned, uncharted directions. 

My palms felt sweaty the first time I saw him play. I know the stomp boxes he uses to make his loops — one of which is an Electro-Harmonix 16-second delay, a pedal I used to use in live performance in the 1980s. I know how fragile and sometimes unpredictable it can be, but it's the backbone of Frisell's bag of many tricks. With that equipment enhancing Frisell's nimble, deft fingerwork and uncanny sense of melody, it all adds up to a brilliant and disarmingly humble performer.

On this day, Frisell came to perform the music of John Lennon. Now 60, Frisell witnessed the birth of The Beatles and all that it meant to moving the world from cute, catchy songs to sonic adventures — a world of music we don't think twice about anymore. After all these years of hearing The Beatles' music, he's still discovering it, finding small phrases in the songs we know so well — "Nowhere Man," "In My Life" and "Strawberry Fields Forever."

And here comes the cliche, which is a living truth: Frisell makes these songs feel new again. I only wish Lennon himself could have heard his music through Frisell's beautiful reinventions. 

Set List: "Nowhere Man" "In My Life" "Strawberry Fields Forever"
