Andy Twyman 

 

- Blues You Haven't Heard Before 

 

https://www.facebook.com/andytwymanboogie 

  
Als One Man Band hat Andy Twyman in seiner britischen Heimat in den letzten Monaten einen hohen Bekanntheitsgrad erreicht. Seine Mixtur aus klassischem Blues und heftigem Rock kann man auf seinem aktuellen Album „Blues You Haven‘t Heard Before“ kennenlernen. Um Essen, Trinken, Drogen und ähnliches ging es beim Blues schon immer. Hier allerdings spielen nicht die Gerichte der Südstaaten eine Rolle, sondern Instrant-Nudeln. Oder auch Kokain, das heute bei den hippen Clubbesuchern angesagt ist und nicht der gute alte Joint oder gar der schwarzgebrannte Schnaps: Andy Twymans Lieder sind klassischer Blues durch und durch. Seine Geschichten aber spielen in den Pubs und Kneipen von London und Umgebung. Und genau das macht sie zu etwas Bemerkenswertem: Er singt davon, gerne Captain Kirk von der Enterprise zu sein, von Frauen, die sich immer für zu fett halten oder auch von politischen Themen wie der Informationsfreiheit. Dazu stampfen in guter alter One-Man-Band-Tradition die Rhythmen, seine Gitarre klingt wahlweise stoisch wie bei John Lee Hooker oder groovt wie bei Bo Diddley. Und in der Deftigkeit kann man verstehen, wieso manche sich auch an Songs von The Clash erinnert fühlen: Das ist heftiger Kneipenblues, der keine Gefangenen macht. Unbedingt mal reinhören!

SHADES OF BLUE

Dänemark

 



Shades Of Blue.
Das amerikanisch-dänische Ensemble "Shades of Blue" ist seit seiner Gründung vor 20 Jahren in der Blues-Szene ein fester Begriff geworden, bekannt durch die charismatischen Frontfiguren der Bühne - der amerikanische Sänger James Loveless und der Gitarren-Virtuose Uffe Steen. Die Band besitzt eine geradezu rauschhafte Blues-Power und Authenthizität,  Mit spielender Leichtigkeit und Eleganz meistert "Shades of Blue" die volle Spannbreite vom feurigen und kraftgeladenen Blues bis hin zur fragilen, leidenschaftlichen Ballade.

"On a Mission from Muddy Waters", das zweite Album der Band, kam 1992 auf den Markt. Dieses Album löste in jeder Hinsicht das Versprechen seines vielsagenden Titels ein! Durch eine respekt- und humorvolle Interpretation der Musik trägt "Shades of Blue" das Erbe der großen Meister wie Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker und Sonny Boy Williamson an das Publikum weiter. Ob selbst komponierte Songs oder Cover-Versionen – die wahren "Roots" dringen durch jeden Takt dieser Musik!

"Shades of Blue" wurde in den späten 80ern gegründet. Jahrelang tourte die Band durch Skandinavien und Deutschland, bis die Erfolgswelle Ende der 90er-Jahre durch eine schockierende Nachricht abrupt unterbrochen wurde: Bei dem Sänger und Frontmann der Band, James Loveless, wurde eine ernsthafte Herzerkrankung diagnostiziert. Nach einer Dreifach-Bypass-OP musste er sich von der Bühne komplett zurückziehen.

Im Jahr 2006 gelang es den übrig gebliebenen Musikern der Band, James Loveless für die Live-Aufführung eines Shades-of-Blue-Songs zu gewinnen. Das Ergebnis war ein unerwarteter und atemberaubender Erfolg. Loveless und die Band fühlten sich stärker als je zuvor und das Publikum tobte vor Begeisterung. Getragen von dem überwältigenden Enthusiasmus der Shades-of-Blues-Liebhaber "der alten Zeiten" und einer großen Anzahl neuer Fans, witterte die Band ihre erneute Chance und nahm die Zusammenarbeit wieder auf.

In den nachfolgenden Jahren krönte "Shades of Blue" ihre Rückkehr auf die Bühne mit der Aufnahme des Doppel-Live-Albums "Feels Like the First Time" – in der modernen Blues-Szene eine absolute Seltenheit. Dieses Unterfangen wurde sowohl von Musikkritikern als auch vom Publikum ermutigt und angeregt. Das Album lebt durch die einmalige Live-Atmosphäre von “Shades of Blue”, die federleicht und mit verdichteter Intensität zusammen mit dem Publikum durch 22 blue tunes rockt.

In diesen Tagen nimmt "Shades of Blue" ein brandneues Album auf. Es kommt Anfang 2011 auf den Markt. Das Material besteht aus neuen Songs, die bei den Konzerten im Herbst 2010 auf Live-Tauglichkeit getestet worden sind. Die Reaktion des begeisterten Publikums war eindeutig: Yes You Can!

Guitar Ray & The Gamblers are an Italian blues band founded in 2002. Since 2006, the band members have consisted of Ray Scona on vocals and guitar, Gab D on bass guitar, Henry Carpaneto on piano and Marco Fuliano on the drums. The core of the band is Ray Scona, guitarist and singer, born in 1963 in Chiavari (Genova). Scona began playing at the age of thirteen, and—30 years later—still carries his first Fender Stratocaster on tour.
The band members began collaborating with other blues performers in 2002, when they toured with Sonny Rhodes, Keith Dunn, Bill Thomas, Paul Orta and Jumping Johnny Sansone until 2004. The year the tour ended, Otis Grand produced The Gamblers' first two albums: New Sensation and Poorman Blues. In 2005 the band met Jerry Portnoy and began a collaboration that lasted for another two tours. In 2007 they contributed to the album “Hipster Blues” by Otis Grand and took part in his tour through Norway and Poland. In December 2009 the band began its first European tour as "Guitar Ray & The Gamblers," traveling through Germany, Belgium, France and Denmark.
In 2010, the band toured with Paul Reddick and Canadian singer-songwriter Roxanne Potvin through France, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Austria and Italy. In June of that year, at a festival in France, the group met Lea Gilmore, who invited the Gamblers to tour Europe with her.
That same year the band met bluesman Big Pete Pearson and began an intense collaboration. The band took part in three European tours with Pearson; two in 2011 and one in 2012. The Gamblers also played on Choose, a traditional blues album Pearson released in 2012.
In summer 2012 the band performed in Fabio Treves’ summer tour, and has since been collaborating with musicians including Jerry Portnoy, Big Pete Pearson, Keith Dunn, Otis Grand, Paul Reddick, and Lea Gilmore. They have played many blues festivals.[1]
In 2013 Guitar Ray & The Gamblers returned to the studio to record a new album, with Reddick as artistic producer. The band plans to tour with Pearson in the spring.

Exclusive Interview With Jim Bruce

 

Very few people have mastered fingerstyle blues guitar like Jim Bruce.  His timing and phrasing are impeccable.  Born in Sheffield, England. Jim Bruce has traveled the world, living and working in Paris, the USA, Germany, and Denmark.  Jim is one of the few master guitarists who is also a talented teacher.
Jim was kind enough to grant DHBG an exclusive interview.
What made you start playing guitar?
When I was 14 I heard Dylan singing Times they are a-changin’ on the radio. I bought the LP and heard Don’t Think Twice fingerpicked. I was hooked – that was what I wanted to do. Don’t Think Twice was the first song I ever learned. I never strummed at all, and I’m not very good at it!
Fingerstyle blues is not everyone’s cup of tea.  What attracted you to
the style?
After playing folk until about 1973, I heard a guy in a club in the North of England play Kat’s Rag. It was simple compared to some of the stuff I was playing, but there was this superb syncopation about it. Shortly after moving down to London, I found some old Biograph Blake albums and locked myself away for 5 hours a day, for about a year, until I could play it! I suppose it’s always been the challenge that attracts me.
What’s the worst gig you ever played?
That’s a tough one – there’s so many! I can remember playing on the London Underground for hours making nothing. I still play on the street, because I like the feel of it, but back then I wanted to be noticed, not ignored. It was also nice to eat, now and again!
Bad gigs were normally in noisy bars, when no-one listens at all. Thankfully, I don’t have to do this anymore – I can choose where I play.
Funnily, when I was a kid, the worst gig was also the best. I played one song and the club owner didn’t like it – he wanted Country. It was the tradition in UK at that time to pay artists if your rejected them, so I got paid and had a nice night somewhere else!
Your style is straight ahead with a Blind Lemon feel.  Who else  influenced you?
I played only complicated ragtime for several years – Blake stuff and Scott Joplin rags. I never bothered with blues in E or A, as I thought they were too simple.
Of course, later on I realised my error. I saw a film with Lightnin’ Hopkins who didn’t play anything very complicated, but the technique and the power was completely awesome. Maybe we need time to mature. As a youngster, I just wanted to show how good I was.
No matter how well we play, none of us will ever match up to the old guys. However, we can incorporate their techniques into our music and pay homage. Thanks to Blake, Blind Boy Fuller, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Mance Liscomb, Floyd Council, Scrapper Blackwell, Reverend Gary Davis and many, many more …
