Nat King Cole is reinterpreted on ‘Re: Generations’
Los Angeles Times
“It’s there in his music and in the way that he lived his life. That is one of the reasons we moved forward with this new project even though I knew that for the core Nat fan of a certain generation this music was going to be really challenging for them. That new project is “Re:Generations” which takes signature songs by Cole and reimagines them through the prisms of Latin music hip-hop reggae and rock and features acts such as the Roots Cee-Lo Brazilian Girls Cut Chemist and TV on the Radio. The album released last week was executive produced by Carole Cole and Michaelangelo L’Acqua and their approach was to give a free hand to participating producers. The result is a 13-track safari of sorts with remixes that might be jarring for longtime fans of Cole’s graceful body of work. 90th birthday gift”We had no idea what they would do” Carole Cole said. “As each track came in I was amazed by the creativity and the respect and what they came up with.
Brazilian Pop: Sambas With a Twist
New York Times
liveira who turns 34 on Tuesday is the son of Jair Rodrigues one of Brazil’s most celebrated samba singers. He became a child television star on the program “Balão Mággico” (“Magic Balloon”) and in its associated pop group the Magic Balloon Gang before he was 12. He went on to study music and production at the Berklee School of Music in Boston before returning to a career as songwriter producer and singer in Brazil. The music-school techniques showed in Mr. liveira’s most distinctive songs. His set on Saturday began with compositions that were full of musicianly convolutions like the odd meter and gnarled jazz chords of “Contigo Sempre” all packed into syncopated guitar patterns that he delivered with quick-fingered ease. In their harmonies some songs suggest a Brazilian answer to.

When Mick Hucknall joked about his neighbor in the Moody Blues teaching him golf he encapsulated just how long it’s been since he was a Reagan-era twenty-something belting out the blue-eyed soul of “Holding Back The Years. It’s been a quarter-century somehow if you’re counting. But at the sold-out Simply Red show at Radio City Music Hall on Sunday night (March 15) in what he touted as the band’s last American show ever Hucknall got up there in his tailored blue suit and sang the house down as if it was the easiest thing in the world. The nearly two-hour 21-song set drew from the breadth of the band’s career cruising through 1989’s “It’s nly Love” before inciting the first of the night’s many singalongs with “A New Flame. ” 1985’s “Holding Back The Years” which Hucknall rightly introduced as “the song that made me famous” was a surprise to hear so early in the set considering the fact that with a No. 1 showing on the Hot 100 in 1986 it still stands as one of the band’s biggest stateside hits (despite much more love in the intervening years on the UK charts). The capacity audience of 6000 bottom-shaking grown-ups grooved along with 90s goodies like “Thrill Me” and “Stars” but Hucknall was having the best time of all tossing off growls and high notes to punctuate the trumpet-and-bass dominated jams.
