Il y a des voix qui vous hantent. Ainsi en va-t-il de celle de Mighty Sam McClain que nous célébrons régulièrement. Mais vous savez ce que c’est, on a eu envie d’en entendre un peu plus, d’en savoir un peu plus, comme pour chercher une explication à la magie de cette voix. Voilà ce qu’on a trouvé. La case de l’oncle Sam cette semaine dans Bon Temps Rouler…

Bien avant le Brexit, nos amis anglais regardaient vers le large et plus particulièrement vers les États-Unis. D’abord très fans de musique américaine, ils enverront ensuite leurs artistes, dans une vague qui sera nommée aux USA la British Invasion. Parmi ces échanges le phénomène Northern Soul s’avère particulièrement curieux. Si tu passes là-bas vers le Nord cette semaine dans Bon Temps Rouler…

Il fut un temps, très bref, ou les musiciens qui avaient participé à l’enregistrement d’un album étaient crédités quelque part sur la jaquette. Signe des temps, plus de disques, plus de pochettes : les musiciens sont retournés à l’anonymat. Johan s’est voué à réparer cette injustice. Vous avez eu droit à Steve Jordan, Calep Hamphrey, Hal Blaine, Bernard Purdie ... Dans la famille batterie, voici James Gadson dont la carrière a commencé en 1968. Depuis vous l’avez entendu aux côtés de Marvin Gaye, Barbra Streisand, Herbie Hancock, Lalo Schifrin, Norah Jones ou Albert King pour ne citer qu’eux. James Gadson, Express Yourself, cette semaine dans Bon Temps Rouler…

On connaît leur nom sans bien connaître leur œuvre. Deux femmes qui ne se sont jamais rencontrées à notre connaissance. Deux voix parmi toutes celles qui nous ont touchés. Deux vies à la fois proches et dissemblables. On ressent presque de la familiarité à leur égard. Ça méritait bien un hommage respectueux et attendri. Esther Phillips rencontre Bettye Swann cette semaine dans Bon Temps Rouler…

Nos amis anglais nous ont habitué aux surprises ou plutôt à l’étonnement. Passons sur le choix du Brexit ou la mise en déroute de la chevalerie française avec des arcs et des flèches ... Ils se sont quand même débrouillés pour transformer dans les années 60, le Londres de Sherlock Holmes et du Blitz, en Mecque de la musique mondiale. Comme tout le monde, les bluesmen, s’y sont précipités, sans toutefois se convertir massivement au thé. Made in London cette semaine dans Bon Temps Rouler…

Il aura suffit que je tombe sur un album, vinyle bien sûr : « Burglar » de Freddie King, pour que le nom du producteur Mike Vernon remonte à la surface de ma mémoire de plus en plus faillible. Quelques jours après je le retrouve dans un livre de Jean Sylvain Cabot consacré à Eric Clapton et sous titré « Blues Power ». Ce doit être un signe ! Et voilà la genèse de ce programme. On est peu de chose ! Mike Vernon et son Blue Horizon cette semaine dans Bon Temps Rouler.

La honte est une émotion complexe. Elle se distingue des autres émotions par sa dimension sociale, secrète, narcissique .... La honte a des aspects positifs et négatifs. Elle est parfois définie comme la version sociale de la culpabilité... » dixit Wikipedia. En tout cas c’est un sentiment mal partagé, certains en ayant trop et d’autres pas du tout. Le rouge m’en monte au front. Wall of shame cette semaine dans Bon Temps Rouler…

Boris Vian chantait dans sa java de la bombe atomique « la seule chose qui compte vraiment, c’est l’endroit où squ’ elle tombe ». Il en va de même du placement en musique. Le plus beau phrasé tombe à plat s’il ne s’appuie pas sur le groove approprié. C’est pourquoi les orfèvres en la matière sont abondamment sollicités. Ça ne pousse pas à la modestie. 

Ladies and gentlemen, Bernard Pretty Purdie cette semaine dans Bon Temps Rouler…
