A Gershwin Portrait! The Music of George and Ira Gershwin

Le poème symphonique Un Américain à Paris brosse le portrait d?un Américain visitant la capitale française. L?oeuvre débute par un thème jovial : le promeneur descend les Champs-Élysées. Assis à la terrasse d?un café du Quartier Latin l?Américain a le mal du pays. Un blues intensément mélancolique et solidement rythmé traverse la trame. Puis il fait la rencontre d?un compatriote ; la musique s?envole et se réinstalle dans l?exubérance de la première partie. La musique triomphe dans une ambiance typiquement française. Une oeuvre superbement arrangée par Franco Cesarini.

Demon In Disguise-?The extraordinary folk-blues guitarist David Bromberg has strolled back into the spotlight as abruptly as he resigned from it nearly three decades ago when he dissolved his fantastic and popular touring band in 1980 to study violin making... The fluid orchestral invention of Bromberg?s fingerpicking ? his original calling card on pivotal late-1960S and 1970S sessions for Jerry Jeff Walker (?Mr. Bojangles?) and Bob Dylan (New Morning) ? is in undiminished bloom invigorating sturdy old blues and ballads.? - ROLLING STONEIn this intimate portrait the legendary David Bromberg talks about his influences and performs the music he loves - a wide panorama of Americanblues folk country bluegrass ragtime jazz and contemporary sounds.Inspired by the music of Pete Seeger and the Weavers among others he began studying the guitar at age 13. After graduating from Tarrytown High School he enrolled at Columbia University intent on a career as a musicologist. During this period he discovered the old recordings of Blind Blake Lonnie Johnson Big Bill Broonzy Marshall Owens Luke Jordan and other great country bluesmen as well as contemporary recordings of B.B.King Freddie King and Albert King. He studied with Rev. Gary Davis for several years and as Rev. Davis said ?I have no children but I have several sons?. David was a son to the great Reverend.Drawn to Greenwich Village's flourishing coffeehouse folk music scene of the mid-1960?s David left Columbia University and opted to devote full time to his music. Shortly thereafter his extraordinary guitar picking and exceptional stylistic range brought him to the attention of many other musicians: Bob Dylan Ringo Starr George Harrison Tom Paxton and Chubby Checker are only a few of the notables who sought David out as a back-up artist for recording. In all he has played as a sideman on over 100 albums.
