Etta James, whose powerful, versatile and emotionally direct voice could enliven the raunchiest blues as well as the subtlest love songs, most indelibly in her signature hit, “At Last,” died on Friday morning in Riverside, California. She was 73.
Ms. James was not easy to pigeonhole. She is most often referred to as a rhythm and blues singer, and that is how she made her name in the 1950s with records like “Good Rockin’ Daddy.” She is in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Blues Hall of Fame. She was also comfortable, and convincing, singing pop standards, as she did in 1961 with “At Last,” which was written in 1941 and originally recorded by Glenn Miller’s orchestra. And among her four Grammy Awards (including a lifetime-achievement honor in 2003) was one for best jazz vocal performance, which she won in 1995 for the album “Mystery Lady: Songs of Billie Holiday.” Regardless of how she was categorized, she was admired. Expressing a common sentiment, Jon Pareles of The New York Times wrote in 1990 that she had “one of the great voices in American popular music, with a huge range, a multiplicity of tones and vast reserves of volume.” For all her accomplishments, Ms. James had an up-and-down career, partly because of changing audience tastes but largely because of drug problems. She developed a heroin habit in the 1960s; after she overcame it in the 1970s, she began using cocaine. She candidly described her strles with addiction and her many trips to rehab in her autobiography, “Rage to Survive,” written with David Ritz (1995).
Χαλαρό σχετικά το κομμάτι, αλλά νομίζω πως περισσότερο ταιριάζει σαν μέρος ενός μουσικού προγράμματος που σκοπό έχει το κέφι και τον χορό, βέβαια μου άρεσε, ανεβάζει διάθεση.
Για το θέμα "συμπαντικά..." φέρνω στο μυαλό μου μια διάθεση που θυμίζει κάτι σαν αστρικό ρυθμικό ταξίδι, χαλαρό σώμα στον αέρα σε ambient διάθεση, με όλες τις αισθήσεις σε λειτουργία, και διακριτικά δυναμικές μελωδίες και ρυθμοί για να υπάρχουν σαν πηγές ενέργειας μέσα στο μυαλό, αυτό με τη σειρά του ονειρεύεται σε απόλυτη έκσταση...
Φαντάσου μια ονειρική κατάσταση, γενικότερα ουδέτερη, με όλα τα συναισθήμτα και τις αισθήσεις σε απόλυτη αρμονία, και την φαντασία να κινείται αργά.
Το παρακάτω κομμάτι θα μπορούσε να είναι παράδειγμα που πλησιάζει κατά πολύ στην ιδανική αυτή κατάσταση(κατά τη γνώμη μου).
