Lucorient

This winter I did a photo session for a live of Lucorient. They were a well known band in my town during the '80.

This time I worked on a slideshow with my pictures and with the music of Lucorient. The slideshow probably will become an intro page for their website.

Omar Hakim

I've met Omar last month durin his tour with "The trio of Oz", with Rachel Z at the piano and Maeve Royce at the double bass. More pictures HERE.

Domani 15 dicembre 2009 uscirà su Il Piccolo di Trieste il CD dedicato al concerto del Maestro Lelio Luttazzi che ho avuto onore di fotografare quest'estate tra il 14 e il 15 agosto. Il CD è edito da BlueSerge, l'etichetta del musicista Sergio Cossu, (per chi non lo conoscesse è stato produttore e tastierista dei Matia Bazar dal 1984 al 1999), con un elegantissimo lavoro grafico che ho molto apprezzato.

Brian Auger's Oblivion Express

Tomorrow I will meet again Brian Auger and his band. I'm very happy for that, after I photographed them last year during the TriestLovesJazz Festival. This year I will go to meet them near Padova, in the Veneto Region; they are touring Europe since august.
The band is formed by Brian Auger (the Godfather of acid jazz!), his sons Karma and Savannah Auger, and the revolving bass player Andreas Geck. Here some of the pictures I did to them last year in Trieste:

Buster Williams "Something More" Quartet

Yesterday I met the biggest of the jazz music Buster Williams, Lenny White, Bennie Maupin and Georg Cooligan. As I said to Mr Williams, the quartet played "surfing the groove", with a fantastic selection of jazz music played with supremacy. The fact is that they play speacking a language between them, and they tell to eachother things that we can hear, but we can't enjoy as the do. I don't know if you understan what I mean.
Yesterday I did the photographs and today the selections of the best shots. For some of them I did some digital retouches just to take off some guys in the back of the piano player.
I do not want to write more on this concert, just 'cause I'm at the end of the day and of the week, and I want only to get my poor eyes!

Carl Verheyen Trio

As usual in the last months I'm always busy for my work and my engagements. But really I want to mantain this blog alive and I will do everything for doing it!

Carl Verheyen Trio.

Carl Verheyen: guitar and voice

Dave Marotta: bass

Walfredo Reyes Jr.: drums

Carl Verheyen was one of the guitarists of the Supertramp, and he signed the soundtrack of "The Crow" movie, Dave Marotta played with Manhattan Transfer, Phil Collins, Burt Bacharach and Walfredo Reyes with Santana, Steve Winwood, Jackson Brown.

I met them two weeks ago in the Auditorium of Casa della Musica in Trieste. They are actually touring Europe presenting the new album of Carl Verheyen Band. All of them are very interesting persons. The one who hit me more than the others is Mister Walfredo Reyes Jr., the BIG Walfredo. Obviously this is 'cause I'm a drummer and I have a certain feeling when I'm in contact with musicians like him.

The Auditorium where they played is a little room, but here the musicians can play for the true fans, in a familiar atmosphere. And they did!

I met them in the backstage before the concert, when they were relaxing after a dinner into a restaurant of traditional Napolitan food. I asked myself why give them a traditional dish from Naples when in the North East of Italy we have more tasteful dishes than them, but maybe I'm too much linked to my roots than others or maybe this was a request of the musicians. But I'm not here to speack about the food, so anyway, I'll go for the Trio.

In the backstage they were very kind with me and I had some time to speack with them about music and photography.

Tasty concert between some intimate friends in the Auditorium of the Casa della Musica of Trieste. Carl led the entire concert commenting on their songs as if he was spending a quiet evening with friends. He was occasionally supported by the jokes and the gags of the big Walfredo Reyes and by the rhytmic machine Dave Marotta. During the evening every musician had the opportunity to demonstrate its total musical abilities, which range in all directions. At the end of the concert the group went with a funny encore with Walfredo at the voice and percussions, while Carl and Dave were supporting him with their personal instruments; really a cool encore for the enjoyed audience!

Here some of the pictures I did, more on my MySpace page.
