Bona Fide Man

Written by a devil, recorded by a disciple and played by a god.

This track from the North Sea Jazz Festival gives me the goosebumps every time I watch it, simply some of the most beautiful energetic blues guitar playing I’ve heard in a long long time.

Denzel is the man

Set in a post-apocalyptic USA, Denzel Washington’s Eli journeys through a hopeless landscape of pillagers, non-believers, lost souls and just all-around bad guys, armed with only his faith, the book he has sworn to protect, and the biggest macheté knife I have ever seen, which plays a certain part as pertaining to the aforementioned bad guys.

Directed by the Hughes Bros (“From Hell”), and touting gorgeous cinematopgraphy by Don Burgess and a scintillating soundtrack, it is by far one of the best “nuclear dramas”, I have seen so far, carried beautifully by Denzel’s all encompassing presence, surpassing even the immaculate performance by one mr. Smith in a similiar outing.

Highly recommended!

Robyn is cool

I remember Robyn all the way way back from my teen years. She has lingered somewhat quietly all these years, holding on to her own musical personality, while trends came and went.

The very cool techno/pop style “Hang with me” tune is a good example of her sound, I especially love the tech posing at the start of the video and everyone knows girls who know how to handle gear are the sexiest of them all! :-)

Groove(y)!

Another guy who really has his musical chops together, but doesn’t let that get in the way of grooving his a** off, is Shane Theriot, a New Orleans native, who has the nailed both crazy outside bop playing ala Henderson and sleazy Meters funk with a zydeco backbeat, and all the while manages to sound like he’s not even trying – amazing cat!
