Van Morrison - Street Choir, Live at Montreux1974

                   The concert performance at Montreux for the 1974  was recorded on June 30, 1974.  

Morrison's stripped-down band was assembled when he arrived at Montreux, with the help of festival manager Claude Nobs. Drummer Dallas Taylor from Crosby, Stills and Nash, British keyboardist Pete Wingfield and Jerome Rimson, bass player from Detroit, Michigan rounded out the quartet, with Morrison contributing vocals, saxophone, guitar and harmonica. It was a lean band without electric guitar, horns or strings

  His Band and the Street Choir (also referred to as Street Choir)[1] is the fourth studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison. It was released in November 1970 by Warner Bros. Records. Originally titled Virgo's Fool, Street Choir was renamed by Warner Bros. without Morrison's consent. Recording began in early 1970 with a demo session in a small church in Woodstock, New York. Morrison booked the A&R Studios on 46th Street in New York City in the second quarter of 1970 to produce two sessions of songs that were released on His Band and the Street Choir

Sunshine Cleaners - Music & Words

 

      Esther Hillesum born15 januari 1914, Middelburg died ca. 30 november 1943, Auschwitz
Esther Hillesum, born into a Dutch-Jewish family, rose to prominence in 1981 with the publication of an anthology of her diary, 38 years after her murder in Auschwitz. In her diary, she expressed her personal, inner development amid the turbulence of World War II and the absurdities of the Holocaust. The book is not only a powerful personal document but also offers some insight into how the anti-Jewish measures and deportations of those years affected Jews themselves


 Sunshine Cleaners is a trio from Middelburg, Etty Hillesum's birthplace. Inspired by Etty's diary, they created this beautiful album. A worthy tribute to this remarkable woman.

       Sjef Hermans-guitar&vocals  Jacqueline Heijmans -vocals  Wissem Ziadi -violin,oud & vocals.

Gene Clark - Silver Raven

                                                                  The Ritz, NYC     (1985)

                                              Silver Raven (album No Other)

                 Gene Clark,Michael Clarke,Mark Andes,Peter Oliva,Mike Hardwick (not sure)

No Other is the fourth solo studio album by American singer-songwriter Gene Clark. Released in September 1974, it was largely ignored or lambasted by critics and was a commercial failure; the studio time and cost were seen as excessive and indulgent.The record label, Asylum Records, did not promote the album, and by 1976 had deleted it from their catalog. Clark never recovered from the failure of the album. It has since been positively reappraised.(,I don't understand that one of my favorite albums from my collection for a long time.)

Gene Clark, born as Harold Eugene Clark (Tipton (Missouri), 17 november 1944 - Sherman Oaks (Californië), 24 mei 1991),
