I hear music even when I'm fixing a bug in a computer." - Geoffrey Oryema |

Keith Jarrett - My Wild Irish Rose Album: The Melody At Night, With You www.keithjarrett.net Dedication to Jimmy. Luka Bloom: "Keith Jarrett is an incredible virtuoso piano player, really amazing. But a couple of years ago he developed a debilitating illness which sapped all of his energy and he could barely play piano. And he made a whole album which he called 'the melody at night with you'. It's on the ECM lable (fantastic label). It's a really beautiful cd, full of beautiful gentle ballads and lovely pieces of music.... it just goes to show that sometimes when you are at your weakest, you get closest to the good stuff." |

Jez - Forest's Echo (recorded in the Forest in Byron Bay, Australia) Album: Time Cycles Luka Bloom: "All my life growing up I've heard buskers singing ballads and rock and roll songs... but in recent years, partly because of technology, I've noticed a different type of street musician emerging. People who are often playing very quiet, very haunting pieces of music, but because of amplifiers they are able to be heard." Interview with studio guest, Jez, a busker from Italy (living in Ireland) who Luka heard a couple of years ago, when she was playing in the streets in Galway. You can get her album at The House of Astrology on Parliament Street in Dublin or contact her via email: krantijez@hotmail.com. |
