684 - Keith Jarret "The Survivor's Suite"

LE titre éternel.
Ce que j'ai pu l'écouter, celui-ci.
Et ce n'est pas terminé.
Impossible de m'en séparer.
Du temps du vinyl, j'en ai usé 4. C'est dire à quel point c'était, comme une drogue.
Du temps, il en est passé.
Mais pas sur ce titre.
Du temps où Keith Jarrett jouait encore du sax, et d'autres trucs.
Du temps de ce quartet magique.

Et certainement LA plus belle introduction du monde, jamais égalée.

Et quand résonnent les premières notes de piano, alors là, pffffffffffffff.
Tout, je dis bien tout, est en place.
C'est lumineux.

He changed the shape of jazz playing with the original Ornette Coleman Quartet in the late 1950s, and went on to record some of the most seminal albums in music with artists like John Coltrane, Keith Jarrett, and Pat Metheny, as well as his own provocative Liberation Music Orchestra and noir-tinged Quartet West, garnering over 15 Grammy nominations, four Grammys, and accolades worldwide.

Haden began his musical career when he was just two years old, singing on the radio with his parents and siblings in the late 1930s. Like , similar groups the Carter Family and the Delmore Brothers, The Haden Family traversed the mid- and southwest, performing on some of country's biggest radio stations, from WSM in Nashville to KWTO in Springfield, MO.

Now, in 2008, Charlie Haden has fulfilled his dream to play the Haden Family songs with his wife, children, and close friends in the worlds of both country and jazz. The result is 'Ocean of Diamonds,' due out via Decca Records on September 23. The album includes 19 songs ranging from traditional country to contemporary Americana.

Along with jazz partner Pat Metheny, Charlie's friends making an appearance include such luminaries as Vince Gill, Bruce Hornsby, Ricky Skaggs, Rosanne Cash, Elvis Costello, Dan Tyminski, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush and many more.

Charlie's family is the main focus of the album, with his wife Ruth Cameron and all four of his children and son-in-law making an appearance. Charlie's son Josh, a former Restless Records Artist with his band Spain, lends his voice to his mellow ballad “Spiritual," which Johnny Cash also recorded. His wife Ruth, a former Verve recording artist, sings the Irish ballad “Down by the Salley Gardens." His triplet daughters Petra, Tanya, and Rachel are featured on several tracks as well as lend their impeccable harmonies behind Ricky Skaggs and Dan Tymknski. Petra is a former member of the Decemberists and has been performing with Sean Lennon, Ricky Lee Jones and the Foo Fighters of late; Rachel was a founding member of indie-rock pioneers The Rentals and is currently on tour with Todd Rundgren; Tanya plays in several independent bands around Los Angeles and is married to actor/musician Jack Black, who gives a stirring rendition of “Old Joe Clark"

414 - Charlie Haden et ses ballades pour les vaincus des révolutions foutues

"Certains sont des musiciens de métier, d’autres des chevaliers à la triste figure, bouleversés par un combat perdu d’avance, un idéal de beauté et de paix, un rêve sans cesse interrompu par le lourd réveille-matin de l’histoire. S’il est aisé de classer Charlie Haden dans la première catégorie, nous préférons voir en lui un de ces Don Quichotte qui n’encombrera jamais notre mémoire avec des refrains vainqueurs et arrogants."

364 - les rêves

Déjà évoqué ici (173).

Rien a redire, sauf que cette fois, c'est l'alboume complet.
Recevoir lentement.

Pas trop de propos en ce samedi sous le soleil.
Juste un mot.
Pour que les passantEs exercent leur vigilance.
L'alboume de CH et de son Libération Music Orchestra reste aussi un témoignage et une mise en abyme (le chant écouté sera chanté et écouté) des luttes justifiées.
Une voie(x) à retrouver, d'urgence.

173 - Dream Keeper

Tout a commencé avec la découverte et la lecture de "The dream keeper and other poems", de Langston HUGHES.

Plus particulièrement avec celui ci :

As I Grew Older

It was a long time ago.
I have almost forgotten my dream.
But it was there then,
In front of me,
Bright like a sun-
-My dream.

And then the wall rose,
Rose slowly,
Slowly,
Dimming,
Hiding,
The light of my dream
Rose until it touched the sky-
-The wall.

Shadow.
I am black.

I lie down in the shadow.
No longer the light of my dream before me,
Above me.
Only the thick wall.
Only the shadow.

My hands!
My dark hands!
Break through the wall!
Find my dream!
Help me to shatter this darkness,
To smash this night,
To break this shadow
Into a thousand lights of sun,
Into a thousand whirling dreams
Of sun!

Et c'est ainsi qu'est né le "projet" Dream Keeper, porté par Carla BLEY et Charlie HADEN, sous le nom prestigieux de "Liberation Music Orchestra" réactivé pour cet alboume stupéfiant.

Voici donc la très belle et émouvante suite éponyme. 16'57 de bonheur.
