So the first time we played the music from Royalty For Real wasn't in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, but in Bengaluru and Mumbai, all the way in India in 2023!Here you'll see me play Au Privave, Classy Cats and Royalty For Real, together with Timothy Banchet (piano), Marius Beets (bass) and Sven Rozier (drums).Au Privave is a well-known blues by Charlie Parker which I often like to start with, almost like a soundcheck tune. Although most of the time a soundcheck is done I found out it's a good idea to play a tune everybody of the band knows very well so we all can get used to the sound of the stage, the presence of the audience and it also gives the sound engineer the chance to adjust microphones last minute. During the soundcheck, the sound of the room is significantly different because of the lack of audience. All that flesh and clothes work a little bit like a totally empty room versus a room with furniture and carpets, if you know what I mean :-)Acoustics are so interesting and full of surprises.. Anyways.. hope you like it! - Junie Morrison's Freeze is an album from 1975, his first solo album or actually it came out in the same year as When we do.If I am not wrong he plays all instruments on it...Read more about Junie MorrisonRead other Junie related posts on this website:Junie Morrison - When we doJunie Morrison 1954-2017Junie Morrison - Bread aloneOfficial release The harder we fight (Junie Morrison Remix)Susanne's Vinyl Wednesday playlist on YoutubeSusanne's Vinyl Wednesday playlist on Spotify
