| 02-08-05 / 01:16 : Katie Melua DVD : On The Road Again (cjed) |
 Who has never heard about Katie Melua, this blue jazz singer with a so delightful voice, in fact she stayed at the top of the UK's charts for weeks last year. What a pleasure to stand ahead a new DVD of her in the store last week end... and i thought i was well informed. So i didn't resist to the temptation (i said to a friend), although i was septical about this, will there be reharshed medias, ever known, like these Norah Jones insipious DVDs ? Furthermore this one is a double DVD set (two times 80 minutes). So i was expecting some fake stuff.What a mistake i made having this thought, i only saw the first DVD for the moment (wich titles are recorded the same place, without any visible cut), but i can ever say it is wonderful. More than the stunning quality of picture and sound, what impressed me so much was the generosity and simplicity surounding the young woman (just 20), and her expressive and adorable brown eyes. Rare grace here and a so uncommon voice, so many emotions to share, no star system there... The players of her band are excellents, pro (and older) musicians : the guitarist, the guy at drums, the woman at the contrabass, the pianist (also producer of Katie), the trumpet's player and the keyboardist (two young people - the later, an original, demonstrated how to play the B3 on the Triton, having a key held on by a match, while he continued playing a solo...). The surprise came at the middle of the concert when the band played a rearranged version of The Cure's famous song "Love cats"... what a good choice ! Moreover there is plenty of new songs in the concert (some from the unreleased next album). Known titles are well reproduced and not boring, which is rare whatever show you see. |

Oui j'ai pensé au risque de confusion :-) Mais franchement aucune comparaison possible ! |
