Toch vraag ik me af of de gangbare overlijdenscriteria (hersendood, hoofd van de romp gescheiden, voor 2/3 of meer verkoold, lijkverstijving, lijkvlekken) wel op volgespoten popjunks van toepassing moeten zijn. Van enige hersenactiviteit is meestal al jaren geen sprake meer...

August 21 it was on this date in 1904, that Count Basie was born. He was an African-American jazz pianist, and bandleader of the swing era.

 

Born William Basie in Red Bank, New Jersey, he played drums as a child before taking up piano. In 1924 Basie moved to New York City where he was influenced by the ragtime-derived style of Harlem jazz pianists and began touring on the vaudeville circuit as an accompanist. When a tour collapsed in 1927, stranding him in Kansas City, Missouri, Basie secured work there playing theater organ for silent movies. In 1929 Basie joined the Kansas City Orchestra of pianist Bennie Moten.

 

After the death of Moten in 1935, Basie formed a new band called Count Basie and His Barons of Rhythm with several members of Moten

Willy Alfredo

 

 

Voor ik de vraag kan beantwoorden wat ik 'heb' met Willy Alfredo, moet ik wellicht aan de wat jeugdiger lezer eerst Willy Alfredo uitleggen.

Vroeger was humor iets heel anders dan tegenwoordig. Vroeger kwam humor niet van Mr. Bean, Spongebob of Ali G. En al helemaal niet van sitcoms, standup comedians of Ab Normaal. Destijds werd de humor verzorgd door gevestigde instituten als Snip&Snap ("Ik stond in de fabriek een nippeltje aan een boutje van een transistortje te draaien, toen kreeg ik een scheut in mijn pijnappelklier en HOEPS, daar lag ik!"), Max Tailleur ("Zegt Saar tegen Moos: omdat we vandaag 20 jaar getrouwd zijn heb ik een lekkere kip gebraden. Zegt Moos: maar daar kan die kip toch niks aan doen?") en Willy "roept-u-maar" Alfredo.

Zij traden op in de revue of, in zwart-wit, op de televisie. En echt, daar werd om gelachen. Dat was humor. Toen.

Willy Alfredo was een sneldichter. Mensen in de zaal mochten willekeurige onderwerpen naar hem roepen en dan maakte hij er een rijmpje over. En als hij even zo snel geen nieuwe regel kon bedenken, kwam hij steevast me dezelfde zin op de proppen: Want we zitten hier gezellig en we zitten hier okee. Ik heb er een jeugdtrauma aan overgehouden. Ik vond Willy Alfredo geen humor, maar een kunstje. Al zijn versgedichte rijmpjes hadden hetzelfde ritme, het was

Fela Anikulapo-Kuti

Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, the Nigerian Afro-beat star and political activist, died of AIDS-related heart failure related to AIDS on August second 1997. His brother and physician, Olikoye Ransome-Kuti, announced the death at press conference in Lagos on August 3rd, and attributed the death to the "many complications arising from the Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome."

 

Fela was an African legend, a musician whose music reached far beyond his own environs and created a rare legacy of not only music, but rumor and speculation both within his own country and throughout the world. founded a political party called Movement of the People (MOP) after Nigeria's militarily squashed civilian rule in 1979. During the ensuing years his music and lifestyle became a constant challenge to the authorities, writing lengthy musical diatribes against the government, and founding a sort of commune called "The Shrine" that was purported to not only be a source of anti-government activity, but a place of sexual and social debauchery that flew in the face of the conservatism of the ruling party. His bouts with the military regimes of his country often landed him in jail, which only spread his fame further out into the world.

 

The legacy of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti will be debated for years. He was both a renowned sexual reprobate and a musical genius, a political gadfly and an insightful social commentator. - Cliff Furnald

Michel Petrucciani, overleed 6 januari 1999 op een leeftijd van 36.

Michel Petrucciani, overleed 6 januari 1999 op een leeftijd van 36.

Michel Petrucciani was born to Italian parents in Montpellier, France. His family was musical, and as a child he played the drums in a band with his father, Tony, a guitarist, and his brother Louis, a bassist.

 

Michel was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as "glass bones," a disease that stunted his growth (he was only three feet tall and weighed barely 50 pounds) and weakened his bones.

 

At the age of four he discovered the piano. One evening, seeing Duke Ellington for the first time on television, he pointed at the screen and said, "I want to play that." At Christmas that year his parents gave him a small toy piano. At once Michel seized a hammer and smashed the toy to pieces. "I want a real one," he said. His father bought him an old piano that was falling apart, and made an extension so that Michel's feet could reach the pedals. Michel studied classical music for eight years, then turned his attention to jazz because he loved to improvise and wanted to write his own music. Later on, when he was thirty, Michel paid tribute to the man who first inspired him to want to play the piano in a solo album called Promenade With Duke. Much later, in 1992 he played a duo with his father on a tour called "Like Father, Like Son" to show his love and appreciation for the man who had helped him so much for all of his life.

 

When Michel was thirteen, he gave his first concert as a professional at the Cliousclat Festival. He had to be carried onto the stage, and used a special attachment to work the sustaining pedal of the piano. This disadvantage didn't affect his hands, however, and, according to reports, he played with amazing vigor and enthusiasm. Also performing at the festival was the American trumpeter Clark Terry, who needed a pianist that day. When Michel offered him his services, Clark thought it was a joke. "'Let's play the Blues,' he said. The minute Michel played, Clark embraced him, and that was where it all started.

 

A few months after the following concert tour with Terry, a decisive encounter took place in the South of France. Chuck Israels, a bass player who had played with Bill Evans, and Petrucciani's idol, appreciated his lyrical and energetic style so much that he decided to help him along, first by introducing Michel to the drummer Kenny Clarke. Kenny took to him straight away, and things started to look up for the young pianist. Shortly after, in 1980, Petrucciani was invited to a recording studio, where he found himself in the company of the drummer Aldo Romano, trombonist Mike Zwerin and his brother Louis on bass. Michel had first met Aldo Romano at a village fair when he was sixteen, and often referred to him as "my guardian angel." Together they recorded an hour of music. Entitled Flash, the resulting album was a hit. On the heels of this success, Michel Petrucciani was able to form a permanent trio along with Romano and the bass player Jean-Fran

BATON ROUGE, La. - Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, the singer and guitarist who built a 50-year career playing blues, country, jazz and Cajun music, died Saturday in his hometown of Orange, Texas, where he had gone to escape Hurricane Katrina. He was 81.

Brown, who had been battling lung cancer and heart disease, was in ill health for the past year, said Rick Cady, his booking agent.

 

Cady said the musician was with his family at his brother's house when he died. Brown's home in Slidell, La., a bedroom community of New Orleans, was destroyed by Katrina, Cady said.

 

"He was completely devastated," Cady said. "I'm sure he was heartbroken, both literally and figuratively. He evacuated successfully before the hurricane hit, but I'm sure it weighed heavily on his soul."

 

Although his career first took off in the 1940s with blues hits "Okie Dokie Stomp" and "Ain't That Dandy," Brown bristled when he was labeled a bluesman.

 

In the second half of his career, he became known as a musical jack-of-all-trades who played a half-dozen instruments and culled from jazz, country, Texas blues, and the zydeco and Cajun music of his native Louisiana.

 

By the end of his career, Brown had more than 30 recordings and won a Grammy award in 1982.

 

"I'm so unorthodox, a lot of people can't handle it," Brown said in a 2001 interview.

 

Brown's versatility came partly from a childhood spent in the musical mishmash of southwestern Louisiana and southeastern Texas. He was born in Vinton, La., and grew up in Orange, Texas.

 

Brown often said he learned to love music from his father, a railroad worker who sang and played fiddle in a Cajun band. Brown, who was dismissive of most of his contemporary blues players, named his father as his greatest musical influence.

 

"If I can make my guitar sound like his fiddle, then I know I've got it right," Brown said.

 

Cady said Brown was quick-witted, "what some would call a 'codger.'"

 

Brown started playing fiddle by age 5. At 10, he taught himself an odd guitar picking style he used all his life, dragging his long, bony fingers over the strings.

 

In his teens, Brown toured as a drummer with swing bands and was nicknamed "Gatemouth" for his deep voice. After a brief stint in the Army, he returned in 1945 to Texas, where he was inspired by blues guitarist T-Bone Walker.

 

Brown's career took off in 1947 when Walker became ill and had to leave the stage at a Houston nightclub. The club owner invited Brown to sing, but Brown grabbed Walker's guitar and thrilled the crowd by tearing through "Gatemouth Boogie"
