    Blue Voodoo episode 4 Chico Lindvall

    Blue Voodoo episode 4 Chico Lindvall
    THIS EPISODE WAS DONE IN SWEDISH “Det är en enda pågående process, hela skiten… ” ”Trummorna låter som om de vore inspelade på botten av en swimmingpool…” ”Nutidens musiker spelar för att pappa ska bli glad. Jag spelade för att min pappa inte    skulle bli glad.” ”Mindre pretto, mera bag…” Anders Chico Lindvall is a legendary swedish guitar player. He was born and bred in the very south of Sweden, in the town Malmö. He saw the light of day December 20th 1953 and has been on the music scene since the early seventies. Among others, he has played with Lotus, Mikael Wiehe, Kabaréorkestern, Tolvan Big Band and Danish Radio Big Band. He has participated on several studio albums as well as been on tour with giants as Michael Brecker, Joe Henderson, Dave Liebman, Toots Thielemans, David Sanborn and Van Morrison.  His guitar style is very expressive and explosive. The music he did with Lotus as well as the music on his two solos albums his personal qualities are ver obvious. You hear that it´s a Chico song the way the rhythm and melody is crafted. There are quiet often odd time signatures and busy thematic lines that contains chromatic ideas as well as melodic ideas, utilization of motifs as well as interesting rhythmic grouping of notes. His guitar solos are one of a kind. Tone, energy and part of the phrasing comes directly from the blues. Add to that a deep knowledge in the language of jazz, growing up during the hippie era and then add a restless forward driving force and you get Chico.  In 2018, "Chico" was awarded with Jazz i Malmö's Guldnål for "sensual taste, technical brilliance and uncompromising attitude". In connection with the award ceremony, "Chico" also released his first solo album "Debut". This interview was done before the album Basement Incident had been released. It is now available on streaming platforms and on CD.  A few titles from Chico Lindvalls discography 1974 - 1976 - 2019 - 2022 - Albums of inspiration that Chico mentions in the interview: John Mayall´s Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton (The Beno Album) John Mayall´s Bluesbreakers  -  Crusade’ John Mayall´s Bluesbreakers  – The Diary Of A Band vol. 1 and vol. 2 John Mayall´s Bluesbreakers  – Bare Wires Paul Butterfield Blues Band – East West Allman Brothers Band Chicago – Transit Authority Chicago II Chicago III

    Episode 91: TOTM - Exciting young local singers

    Episode 91: TOTM - Exciting young local singers

    Today my guests are two local, up and coming musical artists! Both write and sing their own songs, and have music out there! Make sure you check them out. Carjanae and SuperduperPark join me in the studio to talk about music and how to reach audiences and expand your brand. How to connect with producers and editors and the pros and cons of distributing music today versus back in the day. I am reminded, more than once, how old I am, and how I am not the demographic for their music, AND how unsophisticated I am with today’s social media… like I did not know…

    #3 François Welgryn | L'écriture de textes et le parcours d'un auteur

    Dans cet épisode, j’ai rencontré François Welgryn, un auteur passionnant qui a écrit pour les plus grands noms de la chanson française. Francois a écrit des milliers de textes, plus de 800 chansons et près de 300 d’entre elles sont sorties dans les bacs. Avec plus de 20 ans d’expérience dans l’industrie, il me parle de son métier, de ses passions, de ses succès, de ses échecs et de sa vision de l’industrie musicale aujourd’hui. Difficile de faire le tour de sa carrière et de ses projets en moins d’une heure mais j’ai appris plein de choses sur le métier d’auteur ou devrais-je dire de parolier, comme on dit parfois dans le milieu. Un métier méconnu mais qui mérite d’être dévoilé car il est indispensable à la création artistique. Je vous laisse découvrir ma discussion avec lui.

    • Amel bent
    • Soha

    44: Justin Stewart - Creativity through Music

    44: Justin Stewart - Creativity through Music

    A week or so before recording this episode I asked Justin if he would lead a poetry workshop during the conversation. In a few words, what came out was raw and real. Justin is one of the better songwriters I know, not only because of his gift with language, but also because he approaches the craft with reverence and respect. He seeks to deepen his practice with each pass and he has a gift of a sharp wit that I find myself enjoying through each of our exchanges. “What better person to speak to the craft of creativity?” was my thought, and I was right. This episode explores the craft of poetry, songwriting and performing. The conversation invites welcomed interruptions in the form of Justin’s songs. In fact, in preparation for this episode, Justin wrote the first part of a song that he work shopped throughout the conversation – the episode finishes with the complete song that Justin shared with me a few weeks after the recording. Justin shares personal stories with a degree of vulnerability that, no doubt, infuses his whole process.
    Bio:
    Texas born, and Austin-based, Justin Stewart tends to write about the places he inhabits. He grew up splitting his time between Houston and Galveston Island. Family vacations were not to Colorado like many Texans, but to the more "modest" Austin, which his mother liked best because “the air and water were cleaner.” From an early age, Justin knew he would never leave Texas and likely land in Austin.
    Stewart's first solo record, Flagship (2013) was produced by Kevin Russell (Shinyribs/Gourds). A bit of intimidating praise came Stewart's way when Russell called the record "remarkable or extraordinary," Stewart's response: "That kinda scared me because I did not have my process down to maintain such vulnerability."
    Stewart's sophomore album, City Fox (2015) was produced by George Reiff (Joe Walsh, Jacob Dylan, Chris Robinson), and is the gem that came from a 2014 west Texas residency. Stewart lived and wrote in the dusty border town of Presidio.
    Stewart's third record, Renaissance was produced by Stephen Belans (Radney Foster, Billy Cassis). Players include Bukka Allen on keys (Ryan Bingham, Jack Ingram), Chris Searles on drums (Alejandro Escovedo, Shawn Colvin), Geoff Queen on guitars and pedal steel (Kelly Willis, Randy Rodgers), and John Mike on bass (Hayes Carll, Ray Wylie Hubbard). The February 2017 session was held at Ronjo Studio. Jim Vollentine was on engineering. The record was released in the spring of 2018.

    PETER MARGOLIS - PART I - 1st Assistant Director Music Producer Pro Guitarist In One

    PETER MARGOLIS  - PART I -  1st Assistant Director Music Producer Pro Guitarist In One

    A few, a very few, can say that they are a 1st Assistant Director, a music producer, a song writer, a pro guitarist, an entrepreneur with music gear like guitars and amps, but Peter Margolis is an expert in every field. How is that possible? The only answer to this riddle is he started very young. He was a step ahead of the curve. But listening to the podcast you realize that nothing came easy. Every goal to attain and every challenge to succeed was hard fought. If you have a desire to be good at anything this conversation paints that kind of picture that nothing great comes freely. He had to gut it out.
