Uittreksel uit mijn recensie voor Back to the Roots-magazine, zie ook www.backtotheroots.be: “Einstein heeft de relativiteit in het universum ontdekt, maar de Engelse pianist Tim Penn past die toe in zijn muzikale leven, getuige daarvan de titel van deze cd en de naam van zijn begeleidingsgroep. Maar zie, Tim Penn is in het echt een groot pianist, gespecialiseerd in populaire stijlen zoals barrelhouse en met een absolute voorliefde voor New Orleans – van dr. John tot Fats Domino. Deze vriendelijke man is een behoorlijk zanger die een uitmuntend viertal uitzocht voor de begeleiding, saxofoon en inventieve percussie inbegrepen. Na vele succesrijke optredens, vond Penn de tijd rijp voor een plaatje (…)”. https://nl-nl.facebook.com/TimPennMusic/

DAVID HEMMINGS HAPPENS

After starring in Michelangelo Antonioni’s “Blow Up (1966) and before filming “The Charge Of The Light Brigade” (1968), English actor David Hemmings was offered a one-off album deal by MGM records. He took the job seriously, having been a famous singer as a boy and tried his luck at folk song after his voice broke. The Byrds had written the title track for the MGM movie “Don’t Make Waves”  (1967, starring Tony Curtis, Sharon Tate and Claudia Cardinale) and the film company coupled David Hemmings with Byrds Roger McGuinn and Gene Clark, appointing their manager Jim Dickson as producer. Joined by bassist extraordinaire James E. Bond (no joke) and jazz drummer Ed Thigpen, recording began on 17th April 1967 in Recorder Studios on Sunset Boulevard. Also present was Hemmings’ friend Bill Martin, who worked closely with The Monkees and knew a thing or two about professional popsong-writing. Recordings would continue at Sunset Sound with a number of professional session players and quickly turn into improvisation and, according to some, a fair share of chaos. (…)

ZABRISKIE POINT OUTTAKES + THE PINK FLOYD, JERRY GARCIA

The more you search, the more difficult it gets: The Pink Floyd recorded several  songs for  Antonioni’s movie ‘Zabriskie Point’, some of which are  collectively known as ‘the lost album’. Radio 68 elected those  listed as ‘outtakes’ on the 2CD released by Sony: Country Song, Love Scene Versions 4 and 6 and ‘Unknown Song’. That release also features no less than four ‘improvisations’ (equally outtakes)  of the ‘Love Scene’ as played by Jerry Garcia. A 7:02 version of Garcia’s ‘Love Scene’ made it to the OST, as well as three songs by the Floyd: Heart Beat Pig Meat; Crumbling Land;  Come In Number 51, Your Time Is Up.

“Apparently the Floyd were at one point to have been the sole composer/musicians for the Zabriskie Point soundtrack. They completed eight numbers for the film, but only three were used. Antonioni added material by The Youngbloods, Roy Orbison, Jerry Garcia, The Kaleidoscope, Patti Page and the Rolling Stones to round out the film’s score.  (…) Under the titles like “370 Roman Yards” or “A Total Zabriskie Point of View,” you can hear all of the soundtrack music recorded by Pink Floyd for Antonioni that never made it into the film. Whichever name you find it under, these boots purport to be the “lost” Pink Floyd soundtrack to Zabriskie Point with all eight of the tracks recorded for the film appearing in the order of the intended album’s run list. Some of the boots contain all the known outtakes”.  (From: http://dangerousminds.net/comments/the_lost_pink_floyd_soundtrack_to_zabriskie_point1)
