  • Live 70's improv Jam. The duo only met a short time before and could not speak each others language. So they communicated in broken english. Akkerman said afterwards Lucia had the technique of a God and that he felt like he hed been run over by a Jet plane !

    Dont forget, this song is bread and butter to Paco. It is in his comfort zone. I think Jan does really well.
    Put the show on the other foot and ask Paco to improv his flamenco style over Hocus Pocus and he would be equally (if not more) uneasy.

    There appear to be a lot of negative comments here and I cannot for the life of me understand why. As a working musician myself, what I see here are two excellent guitarists, albeit of differing styles (yes, I remember Focus in the early Seventies) getting together and playing for the sheer Hell of playing. The end result is amazing. It is not a boys pissing up the wall contest, it is two genuinely talented men having fun onstage. Take it as that and be happy it happened.

    Wow, Jan was pretty courageous to use the electric with some phasing. Right when it started and showed the close up on Paco, I instantly thought "PLEASE let Jan be using his LP, please don't be playing acoustically just because of Paco", and BOOM. This video is a dream come true. It's so authentic, it's like they both were in studios that day with their own respectful acts and then the phone rang to meet at such and such for a jam (of course it was planned) - but still, so unexpected. Amazing.

    Jan Akkerman is one of the most underrated musicians in rock history, and Paco de Lucia is rightly acknowledged as a supreme master. Paco has taken a lot of flack for breaking out of purely traditional forms of Spanish guitar, though it's mostly from traditionalists who couldn't begin to compete with him in any style. It is so cool to see two of my favorite players from quite different backgrounds burning it up together.

As to who blew who away, it's irrelevant. Once you get beyond a certain ability, it's just a matter of personal style. Both of them are amazing guitarists.

    Well we dont really know that. His technique and skill are without question, but he has never really stepped far from his comfort zone. Search on Jan's history even on YT and you will see classical playing on Acoustic and Lute, straight up blues, supporting Jazz singers, playing Gypsy with the Rosenbergs, ground breaking prog-rock with Focus. He went through a serious Funk phase and pioneered work on the Guitar Synth - his musical versatility is almost unmatched

    @Chopin4321 3 роки тому +2

    Paco ... gracias ... donde sea que estés ... en el cielo seguro .. tocándole feliz a dios tu guitarra seguro ...
    tu vida es un honor para el arte,
    El sonido, los conciertos y las grabaciones de Paco rinden homenaje a su padre, un hombre excepcionalmente visionario y verdaderamente revolucionario, que con tanto amor hizo de Paco un artista único y genial, similar a otros padres como Mozart, Beethoven ...
    La magia y el duende de paco provino de estudios autodidactas intensivos... su padre obligándole a ejecutar escalas y escalas... y tocar para comer...
    todo es gestar y luego parir dice Rilke,,, esos años de estudio durísimo le hicieron quien es... y su padre fue crucial... fue su voluntad... vivan los padres de los genios...la mitad del mérito es de ellos.
    Tiene la mezcla más difícil de todas, virtud y virtuosismo, es un poeta del instrumento.
    Paco no es solo un artista del más alto calibre, disciplina y musicalidad, sino el arquetipo del artista moderno, el maestro aislado y valiente, que encuentra su propio camino hacia nuevas alturas de expresión, sin importar los prejuicios o las barreras de incomprensión levantadas en su contra. Se encuentra solo al comienzo de una nueva época como un profeta, trazando los caminos que tomara el arte.
    El sonido catártico y místico de Paco, se ocupa por los últimos misterios que trascienden en este mundo. Su arte grandioso, colosal y majestuoso, simboliza la lucha del alma humana por encontrar la liberación de las ataduras de su cuerpo material. Su música exquisita y abrumadora continúa resonando durante toda el recital y más allá, por lo que la acción es a la vez momentánea, eterna y completa.
    Las interpretaciones de Paco son indescriptiblemente bellas e irresistibles. Su sonido es pura poesía y extremadamente emocional, pero sin sentimentalismos. Nos hipnotiza su nueva y radical naturalidad, su nobleza, dignidad, severidad y sobriedad; transportándonos a estados de asombro, éxtasis, meditación, amor y compasión.
    - Sonido y Silencio, Vida y Muerte, Tiempo y Espacio; colapsan en el momento Eterno del Infinitud. -
    Está al nivel de los mejores músicos interpretes de la historia como Maria Callas, Vladimir Horowitz, Ivo Pogorelich ...
    Paco podría haber haber coincidido con estos consejos del gran pianista Ivo Pogorelich...
    "Lucha y encuentra la sustancia, luego ve a las esferas superiores.
    La música te lleva a otro universo de eternidad que permanece contigo una vez finalizado el concierto.
    Lucha por conseguir calidad, profundiza ... encuentra el origen del sonido.
    La técnica no es solo ir rápida y lento ... es el sonido, el sonido largo, la paleta de colores, es entrar en un espacio de mundos diferentes, alcanzando la diversidad de los sonidos.
    Rachmaninov tenía artritis al final de su vida, estaba tan débil que su sonido era muy corto, por eso tocaba rápido, para llenar el vacío.
    Si tienes un sonido largo estás al mando y puedes lograr la claridad y el sonido hipnótico entre las notas.
    El problema siempre fue el conflicto y la diferencia entre la calidad absoluta y la relativa.
    La belleza en la música es como en los diamantes, el diamante más puro del mundo es el Koh-i-Noor, es la belleza absoluta con la que se comparan otros con relativa belleza.
    La mayoría de la música que pude escuchar fue solo un acto circense, ostentoso... de piezas virtuosas para pianistas jóvenes e inmaduros, fueron solo pruebas de destreza mecánica manual, no arte.
    Hay que adentrarse en el estado de ánimo psicológico en el que los compositores escribieron sus obras para descubrir sus secretos.
    Trabaja tan duro como un esclavo de galeras.
    No practico ejercicios.
    Cuando practico una pieza, hago algunas variaciones de ella, inventando mis propios ejercicios para ayudar en ese lugar particular preciso que necesito mejorar.
    La técnica es el arte de la variedad, el arte de saber cómo ajustar la mano a un grupo particular de notas para producir un sonido particular que se ajuste a las expectativas particulares del oído.
    El sonido se vuelve metafísico solo cuando se ha explorado completamente todas las posibilidades físicas. Deberías explorar hasta llegar al absurdo.
    Siempre se debe intentar en la medida de lo posible redescubrir la música como si la estuvieras escuchando por primera vez, buscando por todas partes nuevos significados y nuevas profundidades.
    La función más alta del artista es liberar la espiritualidad y la inmediatez emocional que se encuentran dentro de la partitura.
    Estar constantemente involucrado en la investigación, no solo miro las cosas como aparecen, sino que también trato de encontrar los laberintos, los secretos de la música.
    Una composición solo se puede interpretar bien si es completamente tuya, no solo cada nota de la memoria, sino que las notas se han convertido en ti y tu te has convertido en las notas.
    Nada pasa por casualidad. Llámalo una fuerza que algunas personas piensan que controla lo que sucede en el futuro, y está fuera del control humano, llámalo preordenación, pero a veces sucede.
    Después de todo, el elemento humano trae la felicidad total ".
    Ivo Pogorelich.

    I understand what you say. Jan improvises pretty much every song every time he plays. Sure, it is always within the theme of the song, and he makes heavy use of a lot of stock licks, especially to get himself out of trouble.
    Sometimes though, you just want to hear the 'classic' version of a song. Having said that, its often really funny when something goes wrong and Jan and/or the band have to play round it.

    Two of my most favorite and influential guitarists ever to be. But as great as any mortal electric guitarist ever could be. You cant help but fall into a trance watching the one and only flamenco master "Paco" perform at a beyond-mortal pace. May "Saint Paco" bless us guitarist players from the heavens! A great man before a god? What a tussle indeed!

    I personally am a Jan Akkerman fan so may be biased in saying I think Paco enjoyed this more, going by the fly looks towards Jan to see what he was doing. Most importantly I think is that two totally different styles became one.

Yes the recording is poor and quite harsh but anyone with any musical ability will appreciate this for what it is and in my opinion one of the best 'JAMS' in history.

    This jam is in Paco's comfort zone. Its his music and style that Akkerman is trying to fit into. I think he does it pretty well. Unlike your average Rock jam, theres nowhere to hide in a live duet.
    Yes there are a couple of moments where he has to fill a bar or so, but thats not so bad.
    It should be said that if you asked Paco to jam on some of Akkermans Prog, Rock or Blues material with no rehearsal, even the Great one would struggle.

    stephen - Absolutely spot on. Some people just dont seem to get this at all. Its a shame that the subtitles on the DVD interview dont show up when you copy it, because Akkerman is fascinating. You are right about his playing as well. I have most of his solo material and have seen him live several times and NOTHING is ever played the same way twice. Its not always perfect, but jeez the guy just plays from his heart and his versatility is beyond comparison
