Glen Hansard & Jack Johnson - I Shall Be Released/Gloria

  This creation of this film was totaly spontaneous. I was in Italy with Glen Hansard to direct two music video promo's for his new album. While we were there Glen had a gig in Ferrara, and I accompanied him shootingt B-Roll to include in the video for his song 'No Mountain'. There was some time to spare before his performance and we wandered in to a backstage area only to be met by the legend Jack Johnson and his band, who were sitting there with their instruments, warming up. Glen was then invited to jam a song with them, and I happened to have my camera with me. 

None of it was planned. The audio is from my camera, and I asked a friend Andrea Scarso to help me capture the concert audio on their phone. I asked Glen's good friend Seán to film a wide from on-stage with my phone. Both results were surprisingly great! If you had asked me before this event, did think it possible to shoot a live concert performance with only one camera, a phone and no audio from the desk, I would have laughed at the idea and yet here's the evidence that such spontaneous efforts can be rewarded!

                                       Glen Hansard (Dublin, 21 april 1970 - aldaar, 29 juli 2026) R.I.P.

                         Astral Weeks (album Astral Weeks )

Morrison described the song "Astral Weeks" as being: "like transforming energy, or going from one source to another with it being born again like a rebirth. I remember reading about you having to die to be born. It's one of those songs where you can see the light at the end of the tunnel and that's basically what the song says." Morrison told Steve Turner that he was working on the song back in Belfast in 1966 when he visited painter Cecil McCartney who had drawings on astral projection "and that's why I called it "Astral Weeks"

Harry Muskee & Eelco Gelling - Window Of My Eyes (1993)

"Window Of My Eyes" mijn absoluut favorite Cuby + blizzards tune.Zo.n nummer dat in je geheugen staat gegrift en waar je elke zin en elke noot van kent.Heb het genoegen gehad de band in in originele bezetting te zien optreden(met Herman Brood)o.a op Jazz Bilzen.Mooie herinneringen,puur jeugsentiment 

Window Of My Eyes (Eelco Gelling, Harry Muskee en Herman Brood)is een van de weinige Nederlandse singles die een kunstwerk naar zich genoemd hebben gekregen: een zwerfkei aan een bosrand in het Grollooërveen, waar Harry Muskee graag kwam toen hij in Grolloo woonde. De tekst op de kei luidt "through the window of my eyes" Harry Muskee 1967

 

Thrippin’ thru’ a midnight blues is het vijfde album van de Nederlandse blues/rock band Cuby + Blizzards. Eerder zijn er drie studioalbums van de band verschenen, evenals een album met de Amerikaanse bluesartiest Eddie Boyd en een livealbum, dat is opgenomen in Duitsland.

  More Cuby....
