Ron Carter Foursight Quartet in Paris

[simon le bon]

>>NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE

I have greatly enjoyed to work (as cameraman) on this Ron Carter Foursight Quartet_ 03/09/2009 à la Cité de la musique/Paris
You may see and listen this concert for probably a limited time..
Ron Carter (born May 4, 1937, Ferndale, Michigan). A splendid young Jazz Bassist with Miles Davis is now an old musicien. So many notes have passed through his fingers.. he is become a high spirit great master.

I was there: A total enjoyment between two fingers.

another work I have loved to make, filmed in a little town in the north of Italy.

At the end of the last winter flooded in cold fogs, we land in Italy under a precise warm sun: enjoyment. In an old city, we enter an old church completely immersed in the dark. At this exact second like a sign, there long away in the heart of the church the director led his stick,.. and the voices of angels, fallen high directly from paradise fulfill all the empty space. This remember shine into me. Our director Philippe Béziat have made something very strange and beautiful with what we had done their.

I have a CD, Avro Part Te Deum, and it is choral music recorded in an ancient church in Finland. It is one of my favourite SketchUp listening choices... that and jazz. you hit them both today. Very nice cinematic mood captured.

[simon le bon]

Thank you Dale for your nice comments.

Berliner Barock Solisten Filmé le 28/02/2010 à La Cité de la Musique Paris

Very simple pictures: only 3 cameras and a beauty shot. But the music is splendid.

Especially in my opinion the last sung part beginning at 62:00.

- Sandrine Piau, soprano
- Bernarda Fink, mezzo-sorano

>>- Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Stabat Mater

On the right side: Don Kent our +++ director

Time, place, music & team was perfect. I had a sumptuous long length camera. I had played with it as a dingo all night long. It was a perfect day!

Just close your eyes for a 1h26 beautiful space odyssey.

Peacefull indeed!

Hi Simon,
your link does not work (for me)
this one it does :
http://liveweb.arte.tv/fr/video/Carla_B ... le_Pleyel/
thanks_very much

[simon le bon]

Thank you Pilou, always the kind word witch pleases.
Thank you Juan Victor to bring your enjoyment (and to correct the link)

We where only three cameramen (and women) plus a standalone camera.
Our director was a woman. We had heard her beginning to say into the working network that trumpet was not very sexy for a man. But step by step we heard her changing is mind, and falling in love, completely mad of Paolo at the end

My work doesn't lead to opulence but I feel very fortunate to cross so close the path of such comets

[Pilou]

This concert is poignant because it shows people of a certain age, with arthritis but who have always a crazzy swing!
The framing of the hands in particular is also a spectacle itself!
Before / after makes our perfidious inscription in the present
Carla forever

Thank you Simon for posting these!

I have been checking out these links from the beginning and browsing associated French links of high fidelity, excellent performances (of a level I have never seen in US web sites). One that comes to mind is a single song performance by Joss Stone. It has shown me that my bandwidth is not the issue when it comes to HD, but the source.

Anyway it's greatly appreciated. Peter

[simon le bon]

Thank you very much Peter! sweet words greatly appreciated
I love to film (good / swinging) music, my visual feeling sticking to the sounds.
Some of the greater concerts we had made in this place are not in line..
Question of rights of course.

My next set will be at mid august in Gaieus's land: The so huge SzigetFestival in an island near Budapest - hungary. I surely shall post some in the occasion

[dale]

Once again Simon many thanks. You do really fine work.

[simon le bon]

Thank you "again" Dave for your kind friendship

Hi Guys!

I'm very surprise there is no comment on to this last links

The Stones at the best, one of the last splendid blues from Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix sumptuous, The "Pinke Floïde" in Saint Tropez!
What a gift! My older brother was listening all that music, and following him, I was listening it too.
Do you remember the seventies? Mai 68, the world of Peace&Love, no sida, no crisis, work for everybody, Rock'n Roll at its best!!. We where believing in a good world....Probably we was wrong : Drugs, War, crisis, foolish experimentations, everything was knocking at the door.

I can't believe that nobody in this place screams something about this lost world.....

Well.
Do I give U some more ?
Yes . -.
