Steve Binder is one of the most influential figures in music television, even if you don't know his name. From The T.A.M.I. Show to Elvis Presley's '68 Comeback Special, his work created moments that changed music history. In this episode, Steve shares how he went from the mailroom at KABC to directing icons like Frank Sinatra, The Allman Brothers, and The Rolling Stones, and what it was like to be thrown into some of the most pivotal TV moments of the 1960s and 70s. We talk about the making of The T.A.M.I. Show and the night James Brown delivered a performance so explosive it shook The Rolling Stones. The raw, behind-the-scenes story of Elvis' comeback, including the now-legendary sit-down sessions that redefined his career. And the cultural firestorm that followed when Petula Clark took Harry Belafonte's arm on live television. These were unforgettable music moments on TV, and Steve Binder was right in the middle of them.

The CAT Club presents a long playing vinyl record:TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS (debut album)with special guest JOHN WILLIAMSAt the time Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' eponymous debut was released in 1976, the band were fresh enough to almost be considered punk.Like the Ramones, they shared a love for ‘60s rock and roll. For the Heartbreakers that meant embracing the Byrds as much as the Stones. The result is a classic album with tuneful jangle balanced by a tough garage swagger.When we asked acclaimed producer John Williams to pick his favourite album, the man at the helm of many a fine record by The Proclaimers, The Housemartins, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott, Petula Clark, The Waterboys and many others, replied instantly: “The first Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers LP.”The result was another great CAT Club gathering with our good friend Jeff Matthews in the interviewer's chair opposite the truly wonderful John Williams.A splendid time was had by all.This event took place on 26th February 2026 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.This podcast has been edited for content and for copyright reasonsTo find out more about the CAT Club please visit: www.thecatclub.co.ukHappy Trails.

Our guitarist Danny Cox paints pictures with his sound. He has a positively uncanny capacity for discovering ways to bring out the colors and textures in all kinds of melodies and to plant stories in the minds of everyone who hears.Just listen to his treatment of this rich old Sonny Burke composition, finding all kinds of new magic and nuance in this poignant melody.About the SongAs reported earlier, “Black Coffee,” written in 1948, spent the first decade of its life as a darling of vocalists. Recording it, for instance, revamped the careers of both Sarah Vaughan and Peggy Lee as their fans grooved on Paul Francis Webster's sparse, evocative lyrics.But composer Burke knew the potential of his melody as well; he himself performed it on alto sax in 1948. However, about decade passed before the song started getting serious attention as a jazz instrumental. That's because it was just what a young Ray Charles was looking for.While Brother Ray rarely singled out “Black Coffee” in interviews, he spoke extensively about the artistic philosophy that informed his instrumental treatments during that era. His decision to record “Black Coffee” instrumentally for The Great Ray Charles album was a deliberate effort to be recognized as a serious jazz musician, not just an R&B star on the radio.For that project, his second studio album, Charles avoided his signature vocal style in order to highlight his piano blues with all those Art Tatum-influenced flourishes. For the “Black Coffee” session (April 30, 1956), he deviated from his usual big-band horn arrangements and stripped the performance down to a trio. He was joined on the date by Oscar Pettiford on bass and Joe Harris on drums.Later in his autobiography, Brother Ray, he noted that these sessions allowed him to explore the chord structures of this fundamental jazz standard.Other RenditionsAfter Ray Charles's performance, other artists took “Black Coffee” on instrumental outings, such as Bobby Scott (1959), Earl Hines (1964) and Earl Grant (1968).Meanwhile, a wide and wildly varied group of singers also have served up “Black Coffee” in the 70 years since its introduction, from Canned Heat (on its 2003 Friends in the Can album) to the Pointer Sisters on 1984's That's a Plenty album.k.d. lang's “darkly twangy” version from her 1988 album Shadowland is considered an essential track in her discography, bringing a new interpretation to the song.Women have been especially attracted to the song, from Petula Clark (1968), Sinead O'Connor (1992) and Rita Cooledge and Gladys Knight (both 1996) to Maria Muldaur (2002) and Marianne Faithful ( 2008).For more about the song's history, see our earlier Flood Watch article by clicking here.More from DannyMeanwhile, speaking of more renditions, would you like some more Danny Cox tunes for your Flood Friday?

She talks about finding fame in France, and about Downtown, Don't Sleep in the Subway and working with Fred Astaire. She talks about her mother's early death from tuberculosis, and the death last year of her husband, Claude Wolff. This is a fascinating, poignant and intriguing conversation with one of our most enduring stars. Petula Clark's new book, "Is That You, Petula?" is out now and available here.

Thrust onto the public stage at 15 years old after the Taliban's brutal attack on her life, Malala Yousafzai became an international icon for resilience and bravery. Described as a reflection on a life of a woman finally taking charge of her destiny, her memoir Finding My Way has just been published. She joins Anita Rani in the Woman's Hour studio.There's a call to compensate women caught up in the scandal of faulty breast implants manufactured by a French company. The PIP scandal happened in 2012 when it emerged that the implants were filled with industrial silicone instead of medical grade silicone. The implants are far more likely to rupture than others. MPs on the Women's and Equalities Committee have been hearing calls for compensation during their inquiry into the health impacts of breast implants and other cosmetic procedures. Jan Spivey from PIP Action Campaign and Professor Carl Heneghan from The Centre for Evidence Based Medicine join us to discuss this.What if all your dreams come true and you still find yourself a bit grumpy? That's the brilliantly blunt question at the heart of Laura Smyth's stand-up tour, Born Aggy. Laura's journey into comedy wasn't exactly textbook. She left behind a career in teaching, was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer that same year and - just two weeks after finishing treatment - was on stage in Live at the Apollo. She joins Nuala McGovern in the studio.Choreographer and artist Amina Khayyam tells Anita about her new dance-theatre work, Bibi Rukiya's Reckless Daughter, which opens soon in London after a national tour. It explores how patriarchy is enforced not only by men, but across generations of women, within family structures.Singer, actor and performer, Petula Clark's career has spanned over eight decades. She sang to wartime troops in the 40s, was a 1950s child star, became a European musical icon before conquering America with her No 1 hit Downtown. She starred in Hollywood movies alongside Fred Astaire and performed on stage in musicals including The Sound of Music, Sunset Boulevard and most recently Mary Poppins.

No sé si cuando eras niño te gustaba ir al colegio. La mayoría, creo, que preferiríamos tener vacaciones perpetuas. Pasamos muchos años de nuestra infancia y adolescencia en el sistema educativo. Y como todo lo que se hace por obligación, no suele ir acompañado de mucho entusiasmo, pero es un tiempo que conforma tu vida. La novela de James Hilton (1900-1954), "Adiós, Mr. Chips", es una deliciosa historia, llena de humor y ternura, sobre un maestro de un colegio privado británico, que se siente frustrado por no haberse podido comunicar como quisiera con sus alumnos. El libro apareció primero como suplemento de un periódico evangélico en 1933, pero será cuando el escritor se establezca en Estados Unidos que adquiera gran popularidad al aparecer en la revista The Atlantic en 1934. Fue llevado dos veces al cine, una en el 39 y otra en el 69, por Sam Wood y Herbert Ross, respectivamente. En este programa de radio "Al Trasluz" escuchamos fragmentos de la obra, leída por Eugenio Barona y escenas de las dos películas, comentadas por José de Segovia con el fondo instrumental de la banda sonora original de John Williams para el filme protagonizado por Peter O´Toole y de Richard Addinsell para el que hace Robert Donat. Suena también la música de Michael Kamen para "Profesor Holland" (Mr. Holland´s Opus 1995), James Newton Howard para "El Club de los Emperadores" (The Emperor´s Club 2002) y Maurice Jarre para "El Club" o "Sociedad de los Poetas Muertos" (Dead Poets Society1989). Escuchamos las canciones de Petula Clark para la película que coprotagoniza con O´Toole en el 69 (Goodbye, Mr. Chips), después del himno "Jerusalem" con lo arreglos de Elgar para el texto del poeta romántico William Blake. Luego oímos el tema dedicado al "Colegio" del grupo Supertramp (School 1974) por el ahora fallecido Rick Davies y la canción de Sting para The Police sobre sus experiencias de maestro de escuela con adolescentes, al intentar que no se acerquen demasiado a él (Don´t Stand So Close To Me 1980). El diseño sonora y la realización técnica del programa es de Daniel Panduro.

Send us a textReflecting on a January 1980 incident that sent shockwaves through the music world, we unravel how Paul McCartney's legal troubles in Japan influenced the dissolution of Wings and the cancelling of planned touring. We explore the inspiring tale of Norman Harris, whose serendipitous path from struggling musician to successful guitar dealer exemplifies the unpredictable nature of the music industry. The heartbeat of soul music briefly faltered with the passing of Sam Moore in January 2025, but his legacy with Sam and Dave resounds louder than ever. We celebrate the duo's timeless hits like "Hold On, I'm Coming" and "Soul Man." We take a closer look at Petula Clark's infectious anthem "Downtown." From humorous escapades in a 'Seinfeld' episode, to the introduction of a character on 'Lost,' to the profound impact of the 2020 Nashville bombing, we touch on diverse stories that highlight music's evolving landscape. We dive into the groundbreaking fusion of rock and rap by Run DMC with "King of Rock," and look deeper into songs that guitarist Eddie Martinez played on. This episode offers a nostalgic yet fresh look at how pivotal moments and pioneering sounds have forever shaped the music world.

Bob Barry's Unearthed Interviews

Hello everyone and welcome to today's episode of Bob Barry's Unearthed Interviews. It's more music and memories with singer and actress Petula Clark. And I emphasize actress because I saw Petula star, in London, as Norma Desmond in a performance of “Sunset Boulevard.” She was magnificent. You all know her from her timeless hits, most written by British composer Tony Hatch. Her first number one song was inspired by the energy and excitement on the streets of New York. “My Love” was another song written by Hatch for Clark. It relates a deep, personal expression of love and promising devotion and shows an emotional side to the singer. “I Know a Place” was recorded in London, where most of her hits were made. Hatch used a catchy piano riff and brass section which made it lively and upbeat. Her music conveyed a carefree feeling and a celebration of life. Petula Clark's career spanned generations. She is an artist from the golden age of pop to Broadway, television, and beyond, making her a beloved figure in entertainment. It was early in the morning in Las Vegas and I was as surprised as she was when she answered the phone.

Daniel Popp présente l'intégrale en 13 CD de son père André Popp et le duo toulousain Tropic Hotel se rêve en pop love tropicale à Rio. André Popp (1924-2014) serait le chaînon manquant entre Olivier Messiaen et la variété, c'est ce que nous explique son fils Daniel Popp, à l'occasion de la sortie de l'intégrale instrumentale de son père, soit 293 titres, 13 CD, entre 1955 et 1976. Note d'intention Daniel Popp (son fils)Réunir pour la première fois dans une intégrale, tous les albums d'André Popp de 1955 à 1976, jamais ou si peu publiés en CD, permet de voir à quel point la musique instrumentale est un élément essentiel de son œuvre de compositeur, arrangeur, chef d'orchestre. Un volant peu connu tant les arrangements qu'il a écrits pour les plus grands, ses chansons à succès qui ont fait le tour du monde, couvrant plusieurs générations, jusqu'à aujourd'hui, ou la série des « Piccolo, Saxo et Cie » ont voilé quelque peu son travail en tant que chef d'orchestre. Car outre le côté avant-gardiste des explorations sonores d'« Elsa Popping et sa Musique Sidérante » qui lui auront collé une image d'« amuseur », ou les musiques qui ont alimenté nombre de génériques de séries d'animation (Colargol, Babar...), et d'une myriade d'émissions de radio ou de télévision (« Les Maîtres du Mystère », « La Tête et les Jambes » entre autres…) et de bandes originales (« Tintin »…), André Popp, album après album, n'aura cessé de creuser un sillon musical qui n'appartient qu'à lui. Souvent nourri d'œuvres composées pour la radio qui fut son conservatoire, dont le bonus inédit, exceptionnel, du CD 13, offre un concert radiophonique dirigé par Popp, lui-même, revisité dans un esprit jazz coloré de joyeuses dissonances. Cette publication en révèle enfin la mesure, l'incroyable variété : une véritable malle aux trésors prenant figure d'œuvre regorgeant d'audace, de malice, de folle créativité musicale, entrecoupée de périodes plus sages, mais toujours élégantes et inventives, dont il est passionnant de constater l'évolution sur une vingtaine d'années.  Biographie André PoppLa passion absolue de la musique résume la vie et la carrière d'André Popp. Parfait autodidacte ou presque, génial créateur, il est resté dans l'ombre malgré une œuvre très riche, jalonnée par des tubes internationaux sur fond d'explorations musicales en tous genres. Dès cinq ans, en 1929, il apprend le piano en Vendée, là où réside sa famille. Mais la musique se révèle vraiment à lui, pendant la guerre, quand il remplace l'abbé mobilisé qui tenait l'harmonium dans la chapelle de son pensionnat. Le jeune André joue de l'instrument à tous les offices avec un grand bonheur. Déjà, plutôt que les grands classiques, il préfère écouter Stravinsky ou Messiaen. À la même période, sa première rencontre importante fut Jean Broussolle, futur ‘Compagnon de la chanson' avec lequel il écrit ses premières chansons. C'est encore avec Broussolle, qu'il ose « monter » à Paris à la Libération en 1944, venant de sa Vendée natale. Là, il travaillera comme pianiste dans divers cabarets ou encore au célèbre Théâtre des Trois Baudets à partir de 1949. Sur tous les fronts en 1953, il devient le musicien/producteur de la grande émission du samedi soir sur Paris Inter : « La bride sur le cou ». Véritable laboratoire et conservatoire pour André Popp qui affirmait y avoir fait ses classes d'orchestration, de composition, de direction d'orchestre !  En 1956, Jacques Canetti engage André Popp chez Philips et sa filiale Fontana comme chef d'orchestre et arrangeur. Chez Fontana, sous la direction artistique de Boris Vian, André Popp enregistre en 1956 son premier album instrumental Musiques en tous genres, suivi un an plus tard de Elsa Popping, un album 30 cm réunissant des classiques connus : polkas, java et autres, avec des arrangements avant-gardistes et de nombreux trucages jamais réalisés en studio. Parmi les accompagnements d'artistes chez Philips/Fontana, on découvre ses arrangements ciselés sur mesure pour Jacques Brel avec ‘Quand on a que l'amour', son premier succès, Juliette Gréco et ‘Il n'y a plus d'après', Mouloudji, Zizi Jeanmaire et tellement d'autres, tant son originalité lui vaut de faire partie des arrangeurs « à la mode » ! Puis viendront une kyrielle de chansons dont il écrit les musiques gravées dans toutes les mémoires : les célébrissimes ‘Lavandières du Portugal' en 1955 avec Jacqueline François, ‘La complainte du téléphone' ou ‘De Pantin à Pékin' pour Juliette Gréco, ‘Tom Pillibi', chanté par Jacqueline Boyer, Grand prix de l'Eurovision en 1960, ‘Le chant de Mallory' avec Rachel, quatrième de cette même Eurovision en 1964, ‘Le lit de Lola', ‘Manchester et Liverpool' et ‘Mon amour, mon ami', pour Marie Laforêt. Son plus grand succès comme compositeur restera ‘Love Is Blue' (‘L'amour est bleu') dont le chef d'orchestre Paul Mauriat fera un succès mondial en 1968 et vendra trente millions de disques. ‘La solitude c'est après' pour Claude François, ‘L'amour c'est comme les bateaux' pour Sylvie Vartan ou un autre tube planétaire ‘Song for Anna' joué au départ par Herb Ohta, un guitariste Hawaïen, sont d'autres belles réalisations à l'actif d'André Popp qui a aussi offert des chansons à Petula Clark, Brigitte Bardot, France Gall, Régine, Françoise Hardy, Nana Mouskouri, Nicole Croisille ou encore à la toute jeune Céline Dion à ses débuts.  Mais le chef d'œuvre d'André Popp restera à tout jamais « Piccolo, saxo et compagnie », seule œuvre symphonique éducative destinée à la jeunesse, jouée de l'Australie à la Colombie en passant par l'Allemagne, la France… Peu présent dans le monde du cinéma, André Popp composera néanmoins quelques musiques de film, dont « Tintin et le mystère de la toison d'or ». Le théâtre lui ouvrira ses portes grâce à ses orchestrations célèbres d'Irma la douce jouée encore à Broadway le jour de sa mort, ou par ses musiques composées pour nombre de pièces d'André Barsac au Théâtre de l'Atelier. Depuis une décennie, André Popp était heureux d'avoir trouvé en Fred Pallem et son orchestre de jazz « Le Sacre du Tympan », le prolongateur de son œuvre. Fred Pallem qui ne se lasse pas de répéter qu'André Popp symbolise encore aujourd'hui le chaînon manquant entre Olivier Messiaen et la musique de variété.Extrait de « Les Arrangeurs de la Chanson Française : 200 Rencontres » Par Serge ELHAÏK (2017) Éditions Textuel.Titres d'André Popp joués dans l'émission :Les Papillons, Les Lavandières du Portugal, 20 que da ?, Le chant de Mallaury par Tabuley Rochereau (extrait), Manchester & Liverpool demo par David Bowie (extrait), Love is Blue par George Benson et La Polka du Roi.► Coffret 13 CD André Popp L'intégrale instrumentale (1955-1976) (Universal 2024).Facebook - Site - Deezer - YouTube.En 2025 !

Partis de la forme brute de la bossa, le Tropic Hotel n'hésite pas à s'aventurer sur les sentiers électriques de la pop exotica et nous entrainent dans un véritable « road movie musical. » Ce sont des histoires d'amour. D'abord celle de Sandra et Frédéric.En 2014, alors élève au Conservatoire de Jazz de Montauban, Sandra rencontre Frédéric. Le week-end, ils se retrouvent dans une petite cabane perdue au fond des bois pour jouer de la bossa nova nus. S'inspirant des surréalistes, ils s'essaient à des adaptations à partir de jeux littéraires. Sandra chante en brésilien et Frédéric interprète ce qu'il entend en français. Ils appellent cela des « bossas sourdes ». Fin 2016, Sandra se lance dans des adaptations, au plus proche du sens et de la sonorité d'origine. Il apparaît évident que c'est ce qui restitue le mieux la poésie crue de ces textes brésiliens des années 60. Au printemps 2017, ils décident alors de les partager sur scène. Frédéric fait quelques propositions d'arrangements plus électriques et peu à peu se dessine le répertoire, nouvel havre pour ces poèmes d'amour. On laisse la cabane pour le Tropic Hotel.  Titres interprétés au grand studio- Je ne suis plus toi et moi (voce e eu) Live RFI- Viens, extrait de l'album voir le clip- Petite Valse Live RFI.Line Up : Sandra Campas, chant, Frédéric Jean, guitare.Son : Benoît Letirant.► Album Tum Tum Bossa (Velvetica Music 2024).- Site - Facebook - Instagram - Spotify.

Cette publication en révèle enfin la mesure, l'incroyable variété : une véritable malle aux trésors prenant figure d'œuvre regorgeant d'audace, de malice, de folle créativité musicale, entrecoupée de périodes plus sages, mais toujours élégantes et inventives, dont il est passionnant de constater l'évolution sur une vingtaine d'années.  Biographie André PoppLa passion absolue de la musique résume la vie et la carrière d'André Popp. Parfait autodidacte ou presque, génial créateur, il est resté dans l'ombre malgré une œuvre très riche, jalonnée par des tubes internationaux sur fond d'explorations musicales en tous genres. Dès cinq ans, en 1929, il apprend le piano en Vendée, là où réside sa famille. Mais la musique se révèle vraiment à lui, pendant la guerre, quand il remplace l'abbé mobilisé qui tenait l'harmonium dans la chapelle de son pensionnat. Le jeune André joue de l'instrument à tous les offices avec un grand bonheur. Déjà, plutôt que les grands classiques, il préfère écouter Stravinsky ou Messiaen. À la même période, sa première rencontre importante fut Jean Broussolle, futur ‘Compagnon de la chanson' avec lequel il écrit ses premières chansons. C'est encore avec Broussolle, qu'il ose « monter » à Paris à la Libération en 1944, venant de sa Vendée natale. Là, il travaillera comme pianiste dans divers cabarets ou encore au célèbre Théâtre des Trois Baudets à partir de 1949. Sur tous les fronts en 1953, il devient le musicien/producteur de la grande émission du samedi soir sur Paris Inter : « La bride sur le cou ». Véritable laboratoire et conservatoire pour André Popp qui affirmait y avoir fait ses classes d'orchestration, de composition, de direction d'orchestre !  En 1956, Jacques Canetti engage André Popp chez Philips et sa filiale Fontana comme chef d'orchestre et arrangeur. Chez Fontana, sous la direction artistique de Boris Vian, André Popp enregistre en 1956 son premier album instrumental Musiques en tous genres, suivi un an plus tard de Elsa Popping, un album 30 cm réunissant des classiques connus : polkas, java et autres, avec des arrangements avant-gardistes et de nombreux trucages jamais réalisés en studio. Parmi les accompagnements d'artistes chez Philips/Fontana, on découvre ses arrangements ciselés sur mesure pour Jacques Brel avec ‘Quand on a que l'amour', son premier succès, Juliette Gréco et ‘Il n'y a plus d'après', Mouloudji, Zizi Jeanmaire et tellement d'autres, tant son originalité lui vaut de faire partie des arrangeurs « à la mode » ! Puis viendront une kyrielle de chansons dont il écrit les musiques gravées dans toutes les mémoires : les célébrissimes ‘Lavandières du Portugal' en 1955 avec Jacqueline François, ‘La complainte du téléphone' ou ‘De Pantin à Pékin' pour Juliette Gréco, ‘Tom Pillibi', chanté par Jacqueline Boyer, Grand prix de l'Eurovision en 1960, ‘Le chant de Mallory' avec Rachel, quatrième de cette même Eurovision en 1964, ‘Le lit de Lola', ‘Manchester et Liverpool' et ‘Mon amour, mon ami', pour Marie Laforêt. Son plus grand succès comme compositeur restera ‘Love Is Blue' (‘L'amour est bleu') dont le chef d'orchestre Paul Mauriat fera un succès mondial en 1968 et vendra trente millions de disques. ‘La solitude c'est après' pour Claude François, ‘L'amour c'est comme les bateaux' pour Sylvie Vartan ou un autre tube planétaire ‘Song for Anna' joué au départ par Herb Ohta, un guitariste Hawaïen, sont d'autres belles réalisations à l'actif d'André Popp qui a aussi offert des chansons à Petula Clark, Brigitte Bardot, France Gall, Régine, Françoise Hardy, Nana Mouskouri, Nicole Croisille ou encore à la toute jeune Céline Dion à ses débuts.  Mais le chef d'œuvre d'André Popp restera à tout jamais « Piccolo, saxo et compagnie », seule œuvre symphonique éducative destinée à la jeunesse, jouée de l'Australie à la Colombie en passant par l'Allemagne, la France… Peu présent dans le monde du cinéma, André Popp composera néanmoins quelques musiques de film, dont « Tintin et le mystère de la toison d'or ». Le théâtre lui ouvrira ses portes grâce à ses orchestrations célèbres d'Irma la douce jouée encore à Broadway le jour de sa mort, ou par ses musiques composées pour nombre de pièces d'André Barsac au Théâtre de l'Atelier. Depuis une décennie, André Popp était heureux d'avoir trouvé en Fred Pallem et son orchestre de jazz « Le Sacre du Tympan », le prolongateur de son œuvre. Fred Pallem qui ne se lasse pas de répéter qu'André Popp symbolise encore aujourd'hui le chaînon manquant entre Olivier Messiaen et la musique de variété.Extrait de « Les Arrangeurs de la Chanson Française : 200 Rencontres » Par Serge ELHAÏK (2017) Éditions Textuel.Titres d'André Popp joués dans l'émission :Les Papillons, Les Lavandières du Portugal, 20 que da ?, Le chant de Mallaury par Tabuley Rochereau (extrait), Manchester & Liverpool demo par David Bowie (extrait), Love is Blue par George Benson et La Polka du Roi.► Coffret 13 CD André Popp L'intégrale instrumentale (1955-1976) (Universal 2024).Facebook - Site - Deezer - YouTube.En 2025 ! Le 8 Mars 2025, concert exceptionnel de Fred Pallem et le Sacre du Tympan Big Band « 100 ans de Popp et de jazz » dans le cadre du centenaire du compositeur André Popp, Radio France, Studio 104. Puis nous recevons Tropic Hotel  pour la sortie de l'album Tum Tum Bossa. Un travail d'adaptation en français de poésies brésiliennes issues de la bossa nova des années 60 (Tom Jobim, Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Vinicius de Moraes, Carlos Lyra, Adoniran Barbosa…) au plus proche du sens et de la sonorité d'origine : Tropic Hotel, c'est un homme (Frédéric Jean, ex-Hyperclean) et une femme (Sandra Campas) qui jouent et chantent face à face le discours amoureux. Partis de la forme brute de la bossa, le Tropic Hotel n'hésite pas à s'aventurer sur les sentiers électriques de la pop exotica et nous entrainent dans un véritable « road movie musical. » Ce sont des histoires d'amour. D'abord celle de Sandra et Frédéric.En 2014, alors élève au Conservatoire de Jazz de Montauban, Sandra rencontre Frédéric. Le week-end, ils se retrouvent dans une petite cabane perdue au fond des bois pour jouer de la bossa nova nus. S'inspirant des surréalistes, ils s'essaient à des adaptations à partir de jeux littéraires. Sandra chante en brésilien et Frédéric interprète ce qu'il entend en français. Ils appellent cela des « bossas sourdes ». Fin 2016, Sandra se lance dans des adaptations, au plus proche du sens et de la sonorité d'origine. Il apparaît évident que c'est ce qui restitue le mieux la poésie crue de ces textes brésiliens des années 60. Au printemps 2017, ils décident alors de les partager sur scène. Frédéric fait quelques propositions d'arrangements plus électriques et peu à peu se dessine le répertoire, nouvel havre pour ces poèmes d'amour. On laisse la cabane pour le Tropic Hotel.  Titres interprétés au grand studio- Je ne suis plus toi et moi (voce e eu) Live RFI- Viens, extrait de l'album voir le clip- Petite Valse Live RFI.Line Up : Sandra Campas, chant, Frédéric Jean, guitare.Son : Benoît Letirant.► Album Tum Tum Bossa (Velvetica Music 2024).- Site - Facebook - Instagram - Spotify.

Our very, very special guest today is the great Kevin Harrington, who most Beatles fans will recognize as the “redhead on the roof” in the Let It Be and Get Back films. At the time, Kevin was only 18 years old(!) but had been working for the Beatles, in some capacity, for years, first as an errand boy at NEMS and then as an assistant to Brian Epstein. He worked alongside Mal Evans as the Beatles' “roadie,” as he's billed in the Let It Be credits. After the Beatles broke up, Kevin stayed closely in the fold, even living at Friar Park with George and Patti during the recording of All Things Must Pass. Then, he finally struck out on his own in the ‘70s and beyond and was a roadie with some of the biggest names in music, including Wishbone Ash, Motorhead, Petula Clark, Ted Nugent, Tina Turner and more. To learn more about Kevin's time with NEMS and the Beatles, check out his memoir, Who's The Redhead on the Roof? --------------------- Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter/X for photos, videos, and more from this episode & past episodes — we're @bcthebeatles everywhere.

Close your eyes and imagine exiting your front door. Within moments, everything necessary for your life is a few blocks away, except perhaps your job. Groceries, coffee, toiletries, your bank—if you're still a physical bank-type person—auto shop, all within walking distance. You never have to commute too far to live your life. Sounds like quite a dystopian hellscape, doesn't it?  Believe it or not, that's yet another conspiracy theory that emerged earlier this year, because the ability to access things you need is apparently a Deep State plot. Derek is joined by “The War on Cars” co-host, Doug Gordon, to discuss how this conspiracy started and why smart urban planning is a boon for society. First, we discuss Jane Jacobs, the Scranton, Pennsylvania-born journalist and theorist who brought her civic activism to Toronto in 1968, with Matthew coloring in how her legacy has fared during the rise of the Ford family. Corrections: In his unbridled enthusiasm for the topic and the memories it churned up, Matthew messed up THREE things—the Escalade is a Cadillac, not a Ford, “Downtown” was sung by Petula Clark, not Peggy Lee, and Bill Davis was a Progressive Conservative Premier, not a Liberal!
