En 2015, Gérard DE SMAELE a publié un riche ouvrage en français permettant de comprendre l’histoire du banjo 5 cordes, BANJO ATTITUDES -Le banjo à cinq cordes : son histoire générale, sa documentation.
Cette année, il propose A Five-String Banjo Sourcebook, une œuvre complémentaire en anglais, qui présente avec exhaustivité les ressources de documentation ayant trait au banjo (livres, enregistrements, films, banjoïstes, luthiers, etc.) Cette compilation est incontournable pour quiconque s’intéresse vraiment à cet instrument fascinant.
Voici l’élogieuse présentation d’Art Rosenbaum:
« The American 5-string banjo is many things: a physical object of material culture with roots back to Africa and farther east, and a complex and ongoing development in North America; an equally complex musical culture ranging through vernacular, classical, and popular musical idioms and histories; and connections to social, cultural, and artistic networks. One volume cannot encompass all this, but Gérard De Smaele’s earlier work in French, « Banjo Attitudes », comes close. In the meantime we are lucky to have in hand De Smaele’s exhaustive compendium of history, research. and commentary on the banjo that will inform and nourish inquiry and interest. »
(Art Rosenbaum, 2018.)
Cette année encore, Lluis Gomez sera le professeur de banjo pour le 33e Stage International de Musique Acoustique de Virton. Les inscriptions ouvrent le 01.01.2018 à 00.00. N’attendez pas pour vous inscrire, car les amateurs de ce stage d’une excellente qualité sont nombreux. En effet, plusieurs ateliers instrumentaux et vocaux sont proposés et tous animés par des musiciens et professeurs reconnus. Il y a aussi un atelier rythme et des ateliers interclasses où les stagiaires pratiquent la musique en groupe. Sans parler des concerts et jam sessions. En bref, c’est une semaine d’immersion musicale dans la joie et la bonne humeur.

Nous connaissons Eric Cousin pour son expertise en bluegrass, aussi bien au banjo 5 cordes qu’à la mandoline et à la guitare.
Nous profitons de la sortie du nouveau disque du groupe Uli’s New Orléans Jazz Band pour rappeler l’excellence d’Eric au banjo 4 cordes.
L’Uli’s New Orléans Jazz Band est une formation germano-franco-anglo-suisse, qui s’est spécialisée dans le vieux jazz de la Nouvelle Orléans, depuis plus de 30 ans.
Elle est composée de: Uli Winterhager Batterie Eric Cousin Banjo, Guitare, vocal Martin Hess Contrebasse Robert Merian Clarinette, Saxophones John Service Trombone, vocal.
On peut les entendre en concert de 20h à 22h, tous les troisièmes mercredis de chaque mois, sauf en août, à Freiburg en Allemagne à l’Hôtel Restaurant Schwarzwalder Hof (Herrenstraße 43, 79098 Freiburg im Breisgau, Allemagne). Leur nouveau CD a été enregistré en live le 21 Juin 2017 dans cet hôtel. C’est du jazz Nouvelle Orléans de très grande qualité, à écouter sans modération.
On peut se le procurer chez Eric Cousin.
La formation se produit également, en concert, fêtes diverses, (privées ou entreprises) festivals etc.
Un nouveau site internet est actuellement en cours, il sera prêt pour Février 2018.
Pour tous renseignements, contactez Eric Cousin, soit par email soit par téléphone (06 87 54 37 19).
Lluis Gomez participe en ce moment à un spectacle mêlant théâtre et musique old time. Voici son témoignage.
« Actuellement, je joue du banjo au Théâtre National de Catalogne (TNC-Teatre Nacional de Catalunya), dans la pièce Desire Under The Elms (Desig sota els oms), écrite par Eugene O’Neill, dirigée par la très célèbre Joan Ollé et interprétée par les acteurs Laura Conejero, Pep Cruz et Ivan Benet. L’action se déroule en 1850, le spectacle dure deux heures et je joue pendant la cérémonie de la naissance du bébé, à l’acte 3.
Nous jouons en trio, avec Iban Beltran au violon et El Sueco à la guitare, nous faisons tous de la musique oldtime, et nous chantons et dansons parmi les acteurs.
Travailler avec des acteurs est une expérience incroyable, c’est tellement différent des concerts live. Et c’est aussi amusant de surpasser des handicaps musicaux tels que jouer « Old Joe Clark » and « Devil’s Dream » en la ouvert parce que je ne dois pas utiliser de capo.
Je joue sur deux banjos fabriqués par David Prat, un banjo gourde et un banjo old time.
Voici le lien, si vous passez par Barcelone, vous pourrez m’y voir en « redhaired boy », du mercredi au dimanche!! »
« Currently I’m playing banjo at the TNC (Teatre Nacional de Catalunya), Desire Under The Elms ( Desig sota els oms), written by Eugene O’Neill and directed by well known Joan Ollé and with actors Laura Conejero, Pep Cruz and Ivan Benet. The situation is in 1850, it is a two-hour performance and I play at the child born celebration, Act 3.
We’re a trio, with Iban Beltran on fiddle and El Sueco on guitar, all of us we play oldtime music and we sing and dance among other actors.
It is amazing to work with actors, is completely different than to play in live. Also it is funny, the musical handicaps like playing « Old Joe Clark » and « Devil’s Dream » in open A because I mustn’t put the capo.
I’m playing two banjos made by David Prat, a gourd and an old time banjo.
Here is the link, so, if you’re around Barcelona you can see me as a redhaired boy Wednesday to Sunday!! » (Lluis Gomez)
