Sasha
Okidok,
now, don't get me wrong and shake your heads. Fact is: Sasha, who used to
be a sort of Freddy Star alike, can really sing. He looks good and is
good. It's sold out. Fan getting outragious. And some hardrockers would be
grateful, if they had this kinda resonance. - Last but not least, Sasha
ain't the ballad-lovesong figaro anymore. Yep, he's got a past, like
everybody of us. And he was handled as a teeniestar once upon a time, -
nice to look at, breaking the hearts of countless girlies. Yeah and of
course he earned enough money with this strategy. But, like I said, that's
a long time ago, and humans change over the years. Maybe his period
inbetween, beeing Dick Brave, performing this funny Rockabilly style of
the late Fiveties, has changed his character into a more sophisticated
aura. Who knows!

Nightclub, Hotel Bayrischer Hof
Vernon Reid
Just
about three months ago, Living Colour drummer Will Calhoun has played
this club here, - (see Reviews
Archiv 64) with his solo project. And now it's his band mate
guitarist Vernon Reid with the group Masque, who's presenting us his
second musical leg. But while Calhoun is more into the jazzy/worldmusic
thing with lots of Fusion, Reid is still more related to the rock roots,
spiced with a bit reggae and afrosound. He truly belongs to the
premiere league of guitarists standing on one level with Carlos Santana
and Eric Clapton, though stylistically showing a wider range. Born in
London, and grown up in Brooklyn NY, with caribian family roots, he
really got himself a name in musicians circles, not just with Living
Colour. And yes, he did play with Santana in the past as well as with
many others. |
