Jonathan Freilich
does
a great four part interview with one of the
masterminds behind Chaz Festival Alex McMurray.
-
Keyboardist,
Brian Coogan, took some time for an interview on the
day of the Chazfestival.
-
"Helen Gillet talks to about her band Wazozo,
Belgian songs, oom-pah, chazfest, and
nostalgia."
-
Martin Krusche- saxophonist, saxophone repairman,
sailor, plasterer, leader of the magnetic ear.
He played at last years Chazfestival and here
he reflects on that experience, being an audience
member at chazfest, the current magnetic ear,
alternative festivals, sailing and music, and the
bywater audiences' demand for mood variance in music
depending on time and location.
-
"Phil Degruy plays chazfest this year. Phil
is one of the most fascinating and innovative
instrumentalists from New Orleans. His
creativity is not bound by the guitar- he also
modifies, or maybe corrects, a lot of what falls in
front of him and on him. He even invented and
plays a kind of guitar- the guitarp. Here he
talks about style in his playing, his guitar
influences, alternate lyrics, new orleans guitar
scene history, and converses and hypothesizes about
the problems of music business and herd
mentality."
-
"Here, the tables turned a little bit. Phil
Degruy interviews Jonathan Freilich about times in
the city, guitar, Naked On The Floor, music
philosophy, music background, and composition."
