Vinyl Wednesday:Erykah Badu - But You caint use my phone
Only a few weeks ago I disvovered this album, already released in 2015 and I believe november 2016 on vinyl. As usual, it's really creative music, and what I like about Badu most I think, are her timing and articulation. And style.. Somehow, everything she wears, sings, does, the way she moves, she's just the best of her time..
And, talking about Erykah Badu, have you seen her tribute to Diana Ross? She can dance in slowmotion..
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! - Only a few weeks ago I disvovered this album, already released in 2015 and I believe november 2016 on vinyl.
