“I’m an advocate for this incredible #concerto. The #piano writing is full of #blues material (it begins right away with tremolo figurations from #JamesBooker or #ProfessorLonghair) but the general context is #post-Bartók #dissonance and drive.” open.substack.com/pub/iverson/... #music #MusicSky

#JamesBooker was a freakishly brilliant pianist from #NewOrleans.
He was the #JimiHendrix of the keys, no doubtedly helped, like Hendrix on guitar, for having very long fingers.
Booker never got to make too much recorded music.
Here is a one example of his brilliance.

The first 18 minutes of this could be the greatest musical moment ever. When the band comes up, they can't hang with him (not their fault) but it's still spectacular. God's in the house. #bayoumaharajah #jamesbooker

【映画】『ジェイムズ・ブッカー／愛すべきピアノ・ジャンキー』を恵比寿ガーデンシネマで観た。ブッカーはニューオリンズに留まらずジャンルを超えて20世紀後半のピアニストとして最も豊かな音楽性を持った人。しかもすばらしいのが歌。本物のブルース、本物のソウル。暗闇の中であちこちの席からすすり泣く声が聞こえた。

映画『 #ジェイムズ・ブッカー ／愛すべきピアノ・ジャンキー』やっと観た。彼のことはずっと気になっていたのだが、なかなか盤を見かけることもなく（YouTubeやサブスクで聴けるでしょ、とか言うなよ…聴いたけど）、今日を迎えてしまったのだが、予備知識なんか要らないくらいにとんでもない演奏の連続。とは言え、ピアノ弾き語りであっても音数は多いのだがそれを感じさせない凄さよ。とにかく間があるのだ。映像を見ても、恐らくとんでもない指さばきなんだろうけどどこか余裕があるというか、とても自然に無理なくピアノを弾き、歌っているように感じられる。これは本腰を入れてレコード探さなきゃ…。
