Victor Feldman website

Finally, a website celebrating the musical genius of Victor Feldman (1934-1987), multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire and one of England's greatest exports! You've heard him on countless film scores, records, he contributed greatly to Steely Dan's recorded work and so much more. We lost him a quarter of a century ago at the young age of 53.

Marc Ribot's film noir in Ghent

Hello,
Yesterday I went to see a concert, lead by Guitar player Marc Ribot. I really felt like sharing this evening with all of you.

Marc Ribot's tribute to fim noir of the 40's, 50's and 60's.

Ribot was backed up by 10 belgian musicians. They received the scores a couple of months ago, and rehearsed with Marc all saturday apparently. Some of the musicians I've seen play before (mostly in JAZZ bands), others I wondered why I didn't see them before. What a band. fantastic musicians. crazy.

Line up :
Ribot : electric guitar/acoustic guitar/Banjo/Electric Sitar.
2 percusionists

Bebop

Vince Lardere, a great local alto player came to University of the Arts and did a workshop on the bebop scale that the students LOVED. So I asked Vince to come over so I can video the workshop. This was great stuff. So maybe we should start a little series on 'Lines and Licks'.
