My Ten, Norman Reedus, New York Times

1. 'Wild God by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’s album “Carnage” was my go-to for the entire French filming portion of the first two seasons, and in Spain it’s this album. It just sings, full of life and stories and beautiful thundering bliss. I don’t know anyone that doesn’t love this band. Not one person.

2. ‘Nina Simone’s Gum’ by Warren Ellis

I met Warren in Paris and we immediately hit it off. When he told me of this book, I immediately got it. I find it interesting to learn of the things that inspire the people that inspire me. He had noticed Nina Simone take out her gum before a show and stick it under the piano. As soon as the show was over, he bolted toward the piano and ripped the gum out. He had a gold cast made of it. He was wearing it as a necklace.

3. Eggs Benedict at Coffee Parisien

My family and I are spending more time in Paris these days, and to have a good breakfast spot that serves up some taste of home is nice. And the staff are so cool. I think they know I stole a coffee cup, and they kind of looked the other way.

4. Julia Donaldson’s ‘Gruffalo’ Books

This has become the nightly story-time reading for me and my beautiful daughter, Nova. The whole series is great and it allows me to put on my Gruffalo voice, which I’m guessing is what he sounds like. I told her that I mentioned this book, and she asked why I didn’t mention “Creepy Crayon!,” which is another book that we love.

5. Yohji Yamamoto Pants

I walked in his Paris show and luckily didn’t fall. He walked up to me, put his hands in my hair, made it super messy and went, “You’re so sexy.” Then he pushed me out into the runway. I was terrified. I kind of got introduced to his pants at the show and I was like, “These are the most comfortable, flowy pants ever.” My suitcase has two types of pants: his and Dickies.

6. Prado Museum

I’m an executive producer on the show, so I have to do things with casting and locations and script revisions. My friend Ian Astbury, who sings in the Cult, was like, “Just stop working today and go to the Prado.” I put on my headphones and walked around in a glorious daze staring at the Goyas and my all-time favorite, Hieronymus Bosch. Just magic.

7. Cafe Gitane

It’s a spot I go to a lot. Luc Lévy, who owns the place, is a good friend and maybe the coolest person in New York. There’s all this history on that street. I’d ride my BMX bike through SoHo, back in the day, and I’d run over there and see people just sitting out front and catch up.

8. Erik Foss

Erik and I go way back and I have a lot of his art. I’ve seen it get better and better and cooler and cooler. It has this childlike quality but is also specific and so thought-out. I stare at what I have on the walls, and it puts me in the best mood.

9. Chateau Marmont

I used to live in L.A. when I was in my 20s, so I have a group of artist friends that live there, and I only see them at the Chateau Marmont. It always feels like home even if some rager is going on next door.

10. Hammam

I like to just sit in there for as long as I can take it. It’s like riding a motorcycle and putting on your helmet: You just kind of disappear. I like that.

LÉGENDES DU JAZZ

EDDIE SOUTH, ‘’L’ANGE NOIR DU VIOLON’’

Né le 27 novembre 1904 à Louisiana, au Missouri, Edward Otha South est déménagé à Chicago avec sa famille alors qu’il était âgé de seulement trois mois. À Chicago, South avait suivi des cours de violon classique, d’abord avec un professeur privé puis au  Chicago College of Music où il avait étudié sous la direction du violoniste d’origine russe Petrowitsch Bissing. Aprèes avoir obtenu son diplôme au début des années 1920, South avait poursuivi ses études à Budapest et Paris. Même si South maîtrisait parfaitement le répertoire classique, il avait rapidement réalisé que ses talents de virtuose ne seraient jamais reconnus à leur juste valeur en raison de la couleur de sa peau.

DÉBUTS DE CARRIÈRE

C’est alors que South s’était tourné vers le jazz, un genre musical où ses talents avaient finalement été appréciés, plus particulièrement dans le cadre de spectacles de vaudeville et de ce qu’on appelait la musique classique ‘’légère.’’ Initié au jazz par Darnell Howard, South avait commencé à participer, à l’âge de seulement seize ans, à des tournées de vaudeville avec le cornettiste Freddie Keppard et le violoniste Juice Wilson. Après avoir travaillé avec le Creole Orchestra de Charles Elgar, South avait joué avec l’orchestre de Mae Brady, avant de devenir le directeur musical des Syncopators de Jimmy Wade au Cafe Moulin Rouge de Chicago. En 1927, South avait assumé le rôle de premier violon avec l’orchestre d’Erskine Tate, avec qui il était demeuré jusqu’en janvier 1928.

Après avoir joué brièvement avec le quartet de Gilbert “Little Mike” McKendrick, South avait formé son propre groupe, Eddie South and his Alabamians (d’après le nom du Club Alabam où il se produisait), avec qui il avait enregistré pour les disques Victor la même année. Le groupe, qui était également composé du pianiste et compositeur Henry Crowder, avait fait une tournée en Europe de 1928 à 1930, effectuant notamment un séjour prolongé à l’Hôtel Luna de Venise, en Italie.

À l’époque, la musique de South était déjà caractérisée par son style exotique et sophistiqué. Les premières sessions auxquelles le groupe avait participé avaient d’ailleurs permis d’enregistrer des versions excitantes des pièces “La Rosita” et “Waters of Minnetonka.” Durant son séjour en Europe, South en avait également profité pour poursuivre ses études au Conservatoire de Paris. Après avoir fait une visite à Budapest, en Hongrie, où il avait découvert la musique gitane, South était retourné à Chicago en plein coeur de la Dépression. Parmi les membres de groupe, on remarquait notamment le guitariste Everett Barksdale ainsi qu’un jeune contrebassiste qui deviendrait plus tard une grande vedette du jazz: Milt Hinton. La musique gitane avait exercé une forte impression sur South, qui s’en servait souvent comme base de ses improvisations.

South avait enregistré à son retour aux États-Unis une version endiablée de “Hejre Kati”, une composition du violoniste hongrois Jenő Hubay qui était rapidement devenue son thème musical. Tout en enregistrant de façon sporadique avec les disques Victor, South avait participé à une série de seize émissions radio à Los Angeles pour la compagnie Cheloni-Skin Rejuvenator. Les enregistrements, qui ont été préservés jusqu’à nos jours, ont été réédités dans un coffret de trois CD par les disques Jazz Oracle. Devenu en grande demande, South avait joué avec son groupe dans plusieurs salles prestigieuses, que ce soit à Hollywood, Chicago, New York ou Paris. Il avait également enregistr�� en France, en Angleterre et en Hollande.

En 1937, South avait fait un nouveau séjour à Paris et avait enregistré avec Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli et Michel Warlop dans le cadre d’une collaboration avec le célèbre Hot Club de France. Parmi les pièces enregistrées à cette occasion, on remarquait notamment un duo de South avec Django intitulé “Eddie’s Blues” ainsi que des interprétations de classiques comme  “Dinah”, “Lady Be Good” et “Fiddle Blues.” Durant son séjour à Paris, South avait également décroch. un contrat comme artiste-résident au Club des Oiseaux, avant de passer quelques mois en Hollande et de retourner à Chicago en mai 1938.

Après son retour aux États-Unis, South avait continué de diriger ses propres groupes (habituellement en quartet, mais aussi en big band). Il avait même animé sa propre émission de radio dans les années 1940. En 1945, South avait aussi travaillé comme musicien de studio à New York.

DERNIÈRES ANNÉES

Même si South avait participé à plusieurs émissions de radio en 1944 dans lesquels il avait continué de démontrer une remarquable maîtrise de son instrument, il n’avait jamais atteint la stature de violonistes comme Grappelli et Joe Venuti. Ce manque de reconnaissance était possiblement dû au fait que South avait interprété autant de la musique populaire que du jazz et des pièces du répertoire classique. En 1940, South avait d’ailleurs enregistré un album pour Columbia intitulé ‘’Eddie South – Dark Angel of the Violin’’ qui comprenait des compositions comme ‘’Praeludium’’ ainsi qu’un Allegro de Fritz Kreisler (le plus grand violoniste classique de l’époque) et Hejre Kati, qui se basait sur une mélodie hongroise arrangée par le violoniste et compositeur Jenő Hubay (1858-1937), qui avait été publiée sous le titre de ‘’Scènes de la czárda Op. 32.’’ Enregistré le 10 juin 1940, l’album mettait également en vedette David Martin au piano, Eddie Gibbs à la guitare et Ernest Hill à la contrebasse.

De 1947 à 1949, tout en se produisant avec les big bands de Earl Hines, South avait continué de diriger ses propres groupes qui comprenaient notamment le pianiste Billy Taylor. Durant les années 1940 et 1950, South avait continué de participer à de nombreuses émissions de radio, y compris sur la radio des Forces Armées. Il avait aussi obtenu plusieurs contrats comme artiste-résident à New York, Los Angeles et Chicago.

Continuant de se produire et d’enregistrer dans les années 1950, South avait notamment enregistré pour Chess Records avec Johnny Tate à la contrebasse (ce dernier avait aussi écrit les arrangements). Il s’agissait du premier d’une série d’enregistrements auxquels Tate avait collaboré avec le saxophoniste Eddie Johnson. Durant cette période, South avait également enregistré pour les disques disques Mercury. South avait aussi fait des apparitions comme artiste-invité à la télévision, d’abord à Chicago dans les années 1950, puis à New York avec des personnalités comme Dave Garroway et Fran Allison.

Malgré d’importants problèmes de santé, South avait continué de se produire sur scène jusqu’à mort. Eddie South est mort à Chicago le 25 avril 1962. Il était âgé de cinquante-huit ans. Selon son biographe Anthony Barnett, South demeurait ‘’the greatest of all formally-educated Black violinists of the first half of the twentieth century—and beyond.” Contrairement à des violonistes comme Stuff Smith qui avait été un pionnier du violon électrique, South n’avait jamais eu recours à l’amplification dans le cadre de ses performances.

Reconnu pour sa technique impeccable, Eddie South était surnommé  “The Dark Angel of the Violin.” Les premiers enregistrements de South couvrant les années 1927 à 1942 ont été réédités sur une série de deux CD.

I had a Cobb salad and it too was very good. Lots of chicken and bacon in it as well as other ingredients. We also tried the calamari as a starter and it was very flavorful.

JOSEPH "NIN-NIN" REINHARDT (1912 - 1982)

"If anyone was born in someone else's shadow it was Joseph Reinhardt. Brother to Django Reinhardt he selflessly played a rhythm guitarist's role for his more famous brother, even though he was a great guitarist and composer himself.

"Joseph could be found accompanying his brother in cafes and in the bal-musette halls on either guitar or banjo and soon progressed to play with Louis Volas's Palm beach Orchestra. By 1933 he was popular and was found playing in various groups playing hot jazz. He even filled in for his brother on several occasions when Django failed to show up. By 1934 he was a full time guitarist in Le Quintette du Hotclub de France alongside his brother. Other roles including being Django's guitar carrier and spare string keeper, this eventually got the better of him and he decided to quit in 1937.

"After his departure from the Quintette he worked with Aime Barelli's big band and Alex Combelle's Jazz de Paris and recorded his first solo recordings with various groups, Gus Viseur "Swing 42", Hubert Rostaing"L'oeil Noir", Alex Combelle "If I had You". In 1943 he formed his own group recording with violinist Claude Laurence (alias Andre Hodeir).

"In 1947 he was to be found playing electric guitar with Stephane Grappelli's Hot Four. Django followed his brother in the same year and started playing electric guitar with less positive results.

Joseph apparently still lived the nomadic existence of his forebears and enjoyed nature at first hand, he showed this love for nature in various paintings of caravan scenes, campfires, horses etc..

"After his brothers death in 1953 Joseph laid down the guitar and did not start playing again until 1957, at this point he attempted to finish Django's unfinished Messe Gitane. In 1958 he appeared in the documentary "Django Reinhardt" which led to his appearance in a short film Paris Blues (1961). At this time he formed his own quintette and recorded two LP's.

"The 60's was quite an active period for Joseph, recording with his own string quintet and at the "Blue Jazz Museum" with his regular accompanists of the period, Dingo Adel and Jacques Montagene (Hot Club Records - "Live in Paris 1966"). He appeared at several concerts, performed in various Paris nightclubs occasionally with Babik Reinhardt and even visited the UK, playing and recording with Diz Disley. By the 1970's, however, his public performances had reduced although he did appear at the Samois Festival. For almost all his post-Hot Club Quintet work, Joseph Reinhardt used a very odd looking guitar that he made himself which, surprisingly, had a nice acoustic tone although it was frequently amplified.

"His early solo playing was considerably less flamboyant than Django and he subsequently developed a modern jazz style reminiscent of his brother's '47/48 electric work. He was above all else, a lyrical performer capable of producing some quite haunting compositions.

"Nin-Nin died on 24th February, 1982 and was buried beside Django at Samois perhaps, thereby, publicly condemned to remain in the shadow of his illustrious brother for eternity or, perhaps, ensured a posthumous recognition that he otherwise could not have expect."
