Allison Crowe video from Europe tour
In an courtyard tonight in
Haarlem, Holland – there’s finally internet connection
enough to upload a video from Allison Crowe’s “Heavy
Graces” tour! Plenty more images – and, with any luck,
more video – from the latest chapter in the musical story
of one of the modern greats:
Musician Allison Crowe performs her song "Disease"
-- before a rocking audience at Germany's Jazzhaus Freiburg
on Muttertag -- Mother's Day -- 2014. This tune and Crowe's
wildly impassioned performances have drawn her comparison
in Europe to innovative Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky
-- and the famed German singer-songwriter ("Liedermacher"),
composer, author, and actor, Konstantin Wecker.
This hand-captured video is, obviously, lo-fi in sound+ --
still, it captures some of the excitement of this night --
representative of Crowe's triumphant May 2014 "Heavy
Graces" tour of Germany and Italy. The Canadian artist
enraptured audiences who called her back for two or three
encores each night.
At Jazzhaus - Allison Crowe takes to a stage that's hosted:
Miles Davis, Lionel Hampton, Art Blakey, Bill Evans, Sun
Ra, Don Cherry, Archie Shepp, BB King, Jimmy Cliff, Dee Dee
Bridgewater, Dianne Reeves, Maceo Parker, Betty Carter,
Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Billy Cobham, Terry Callier,
John Mayall, Spencer Davis, Nigel Kennedy und mehr greats.
Vielen dank! Grazie mille! Thank you, everyone!
