Madeleine Peyroux - Live at Arkadenhof Vienna 2009 07 08



Madeleine Peyroux

German: Die amerikanische Sängerin Madeleine Peyroux lässt niemanden unberührt. Mit ihrer Stimme und ihrem Feeling verzaubert sie immer wieder ihr Publikum.
Am 8. Juli gastierte Sie im Arkadenhof des Wiener Rathauses. Elke Tschaikner präsentiert die Höhepunkte dieses Konzertabends.

Kaum eine andere zeitgenössische Sängerin versteht es mit solch zärtlicher Unerbittlichkeit in Stille und Agonie zu locken, wie Amerikanerin Madeleine Peyroux. Live, aber auch auf Platte. In ihrer Stimme schimmert die Patina der vierziger Jahre. Folgerichtig tummelt sich die Amerikanerin mit französischen Wurzeln am liebsten in Liedern dieser Ära: Bessie Smith, Hank Williams und jede Menge obskurer Lagerfeuersongs aus dem Wilden Westen. Daneben gibt es in Peyrouxs exquisitem Repertoire auch vereinzelt zeitgenössisches Liedgut etwa von Leonard Cohen oder Elliot Smith. Ähnlich wie manche vor Krokodilen oder dem berühmten schwarzen Mann zurückscheuen, versucht die schüchterne Chanteuse die Begegnung mit der Spezies Musikjournalist möglichst zu vermeiden. Das gnadenlose Musikbusiness erlaubt ihr dies aber nicht und so stellt sich neugierigen Fragestellern mit einer nicht undelikaten Mischung aus Schroffheit und Niedlichkeit, lockt ihn sprachliche Sackgassen und imponiert zuweilen mit plötzlichem Verstummen. "Das Interpretieren von Liedern ist halt meine Art intensiver zu leben. Alte Szenerien wieder zum Leben zu erwecken, fasziniert mich einfach. Mag meine Musik für manche auch klingen wie aus einer anderen Zeit, in Wahrheit gibt es in ihr eine subtile Dialektik zwischen alter Interpretationsmanier und modernem Ausdruck." Bei ihren intensiven Live-Auftritten schafft sie ohne Zuhilfenahme falscher Innigkeitsrituale eine Atmosphäre größter Intimität.
Als sie mit ihrem großartigen Album "Dreamland" debütierte, hatte man den kometenhaften Verlauf einer Karriere, die für Peyroux in den Straßen von Paris begann, sonnenklar vor dem inneren Auge. Doch die Halbamerikanerin mit den französischen Vorfahren entschied sich nach dem großen Erfolg von "Dreamland" dafür, sich wieder zurückzuziehen. 2005 endlich, lag ihr zweites Album "Careless Love" vor, auf dem sie abermals ihre verzehrende Stimme durch steinalte Songs von Hank Williams ("Weary Blues"), Josephine Baker ("J´ai deux amours") und W.C. Handy ("Careless Love") wandern ließ. Vom Timbre stark an Billie Holiday erinnernd, sie aber in keinem Moment nachahmend, interpretiert Peyroux unter der Regie des Produzenten Larry Klein (Joni-Mitchell) auch Lieder eines Bob Dylan und Leonard Cohen in sehr eigenwilliger Manier und verfertigte gemeinsam mit Jesse Harris ein Songkleinod mit dem Titel "Don´t wait too long", in dem die bedeutungsvolle Zeile "Sometimes you´ve got to lose it all, before you find your way" sehr vibrierend zu Leben erwacht.
Auf ihrem vierten Album „Bare Bones“, dem dritten unter der Ägide von Erfolgsproduzent Larry Klein, lockt sie mit selbst komponierten Songs. Als Kombattanten einer aufs Wesentliche reduzierten Liedkunst konnte sie Granden wie Walter Becker, David Batteau und Joe Henry gewinnen. Inspiriert durch das Buch „When Things Fall Apart: Heartfelt Advice for Difficult Times“ von der Buddhistin Pema Chodron, befassen sich die Lieder mit dem ständigen, unmerklichen Wandel alles Lebendigen. Erstaunlicherweise führt diese Befassung mit der eigenen Endlichkeit teilweise zu beinah fröhlichen Songs. Hoffnungslosigkeit wird ein Achselzucken entgegengesetzt.
Peyroux intoniert die schwere Lyrik auf bewunderswert, schläfrige Weise. Noch immer schimmert in ihrer Stimme die Patina der Vierzigerjahre durch. Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Hank Williams – sie alle sind irgendwie lebendig in Peyroux sensibel agierendem Organ. Trotzdem ist da eine subtile Dialektik am Werk, die klassische Interpretationsmanier mit modernem Ausdruck verbindet.

english: Some say Peyroux's voice is a throwback to the sultry singers of the 1940s. This American singer of French heritage also somehow feels rooted to that era, singing melancholy songs originally made popular by Bessie Smith, Hank Williams and even old cowboy songs once heard around campfires. However, her selections also include contemporary singer-songwriters such as Leonard Coen or Elliot Smith. Often compared favourably to Billie Holiday, she says that singing is “a way of living intensely” and she is fascinated by the way a song can revive a certain place or a specific feeling. Her 1997 debut album “Dreamland” and its recent follow-up “Careless Love” (with sings by Josephine Baker, Hank Williams, WC Handy and others) have been praised by critics and music lovers alike.

The Pat Metheny Group - St. Marx Arena, Vienna Austria 1991-06-25



This concert comes from a rare silver bootleg CD called "The Bat". It's listed as being recorded during the American tour in 1992, but that's wrong. No one is truly certain if this great recording is audience or soundboard, but to me it sounds like a board tape with an audience microphone.

Line Up:
Pat Metheny - guitars, guitar synthesizer, electric sitar
Lyle Mays - piano, synthesizers, autoharp, trumpet
Steve Rodby - acoustic bass, electric bass
Paul Wertico - drums, percussion
Armando Marçal - percussion, vocals
Pedro Aznar - vocals, guitar, percussion, vibraphone, marimba, glockenspiel, tenor saxophone, melodica

Tracklist:
(Runtime 67 minutes)

  1. 01. Have You Heard (Metheny)

  2. 02. Every Summer Night (Metheny)

John Scofield - Live at Jazzfestival Vienna 2009



John Scofield - 30.06.2009 at Wuk Vienna

english by Google:
A bit of heat needed to be able to tolerate even at yesterday's concert by John Scofield on Wuk.

"It's very hot here," said a visibly sweaty John Scofield in German. How right he was! Rain clouds threatened yesterday
over the city, they are now given way to intense sunlight. Granted, you can see them in Wuk not much. But it is felt, the heat,
indoors and outdoors. Inside, perhaps even more. Not only because a battery of searchlights to provide additional degrees of heat, but also because sveral hundred people standing close together, and because in addition to the stage with John Scofield's band select switch to turn on heat.
"Sco", as he has affectionately call his fans, many, as he explains, "old songs" from his new and latest CD, "Piety Street" brought back, and this album consists mainly of interpretations of southern gospel songs. Since then, the guitar needs to whine and beg for spiritual help, as Jon Cleary may will explore with organ, guitar and singing sensation intensities, there must praise the Lord and "Something Got A Hold On Me" sung. For is not utmost vigilance actually announced?

Because that is still shaken well before the break, first heat victim from the hall. A photographer who was standing close to the stage, and is wrinkled by years aged into the open. "I am so hot!" He could see at least Sco. Others, including 2.10 m Gardemaß to see only his, dignified by a fringe of hair framed head. Very young people threaten to crush the dark between sandals and high heels lost or evaporate too. One can did not drink as much as you need to sweat.

Only Sco seems to be the little annoying. Of course, it also runs in heavy torrents of sweat from his head, so it probably Jon Cleary and drummer Ricky Fataar sometimes wear caps and hats, but otherwise brings the music with mitschunkelbaren Hank Williams songs, the audience waving radiant blue phones. Then he heats with rock solos to dance again. The degrees of heat corresponding original sound way, is "Pooh", which is supported by an "air-waving-hand-movement".

And somehow I'm not going on at the sight of the feeling that this Gitarrenpyromane simmers just the right time at right place.
Some time ago I talked with him about local and regional music scenes. Yesterday, I stood with him on the Ratshausvorplatz to Music to hear from Armenia, Korea and Austria. And today he is here with hot jazz rock the gospel at the Jazz Fest Wien Vielvölkermusik a To enrich facet. So everything comes together, internationalism on a local basis. "Vienna is a beautiful city. I hope to come back. But now we take a shower once. Two hours. Uh, of course, alone! "

A good idea. Some whisper that waits outside the entrance a group of Finnish sauna master on the audience. Let's see. And what are Cubans from the Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club, which today occur in the Vienna State Opera, say to that?
Harald Justin

On stage
He is regarded as a giant of jazz guitar, in 1951 in Ohio, USA, born guitarist and composer John Scofield.
With its new program, "Piety Street," he returns to the 60s of last century, when the Jazz Guitar experienced a Hochblütezeit.
Scofield, as it transports the 60s to today.
