Chris Squire - Hold Out Your Hand

[1962dude420-blog]

Today we remember the passing of Chris Squire who Died: June 27, 2015 in Phoenix, Arizona

Christopher Russell Edward Squire (4 March 1948 – 27 June 2015) was an English musician, singer and songwriter best known as the bassist, backing vocalist and a founding member of the progressive rock band Yes. He was the longest-serving original member, having remained in the band until his death and appearing on every studio album released from 1969 to 2014. In 2017, he was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Yes.

Squire was widely regarded as the dominant bassist among the English progressive rock bands, influencing peers and later generations of bassists with his incisive sound and elaborately contoured, melodic bass lines. His name was associated with his trademark instrument, the Rickenbacker 4001. From 1991 to 2000, Rickenbacker produced a limited edition signature model bass in his name, the 4001CS.

Squire was born on March 4, 1948 in the north west London suburb of Kingsbury, to Peter and Joanne Squire. He grew up there and in the nearby Queensbury and Wembley areas. His father was a cab driver and his mother a secretary for an estate agent. As a youngster Squire took a liking to Lena Horne and Ella Fitzgerald records belonging to his father, though his main interest was church music. At age six, he joined the church choir at St. Andrew's in Kingsbury as a treble with Andrew Pryce Jackman, a friend of his who lived nearby. The choir got to perform at St. Paul's cathedral. Their choirmaster, Barry Rose, was an early influence on Squire. "He made me realise that working at it was the way to become best at something". Squire also sang in the choir at his next school, Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School, then located in Hampstead. He played the harmonica on his way home from school.

Squire did not consider a music career until the age of sixteen when the emergence of the Beatles and the Beat music boom in the early 1960s inspired him to "be in a group that don't use music stands". A school friend recommended that Squire take up the bass after pointing out his tall frame and large hands, thinking they were ideal for playing the instrument. Squire then purchased his first bass, a Futurama, which he described as "very cheap, but good enough to learn on." In 1964, on the last day before the summer holidays, Squire's headmaster suspended him and a friend for having their hair too long and they were given two shillings and sixpence to have it cut. Instead, they went home and never returned. After his mother took him to a recruitment agency and enquired for work related to music, Squire landed work selling guitars at a Boosey & Hawkes shop in Regent Street. He used the staff discount offer to purchase a new bass, a Rickenbacker 4001, in 1965

In September 1967, Squire joined Mabel Greer's Toyshop, a psychedelic group that included Peter Banks, singer Clive Bayley and drummer Bob Hagger. They played at the Marquee club where Jack Barrie, owner of the La Chasse drinking club a few doors down, saw them perform. "The musicianship ... was very good but it was obvious they weren't going anywhere", he recalled. One evening at La Chasse, Barrie introduced Squire to Jon Anderson, a worker at the bar who had not found success as the lead singer of The Gun or as a solo artist. The two found they shared common musical interests including Simon & Garfunkel, The Association and vocal harmonies. In the following days they developed "Sweetness", a track later recorded for the first Yes album.

As the band developed, Anderson and Squire brought in drummer Bill Bruford, keyboardist Tony Kaye and Banks for rehearsals. The five agreed to drop the name Mabel Greer's Toyshop; they settled on the name Yes, originally Banks's idea. The band played their first show as Yes at a youth camp in East Mersea, Essex on August 4, 1968. Squire spoke about the band's formation: "I couldn't get session work because most musicians hated my style. They wanted me to play something a lot more basic. We started Yes as a vehicle to develop everyone's individual styles." Squire developed a bass solo named "A Bass Odyssey".

In August 1969, Yes released their self-titled debut album. Martyn Adelman, who had played drums with Squire's first group, did the album photos. Squire received writing credits on four of the album's eight tracks—"Beyond & Before", "Looking Around", "Harold Land", and "Sweetness".

After Bruford left the band and was replaced by Alan White in July 1972, Squire altered his playing to suit the change in the band's rhythm section. He felt he was "playing too much, though I was never really sure. With Bill, the things that I did felt right ... With Alan, I found that I was able to play a bit less than before and still get my playing across".

Squire described his playing on "The Remembering (High the Memory)" from Tales from Topographic Oceans (1973) as "one of the nicest things I think I've ever played".

Squire was the only member to play on each of their 21 studio albums released from 1969 to 2014. He was seen as one of the main forces behind the band's music, as well as being "perhaps the most enigmatic" group member. Heaven & Earth was his final studio album.

While most of the band's lyrics were written by Anderson, Squire co-wrote much of their music with guitarist Steve Howe (with Anderson occasionally contributing). In addition, Squire and Howe would supply backing vocals in harmony with Anderson on songs such as "South Side of the Sky" and "Close to the Edge".

During the band's formative years Squire was frequently known for his lateness, a habit that Bruford often complained about. Because of this, Squire would frequently drive at unsafe speeds to get to gigs on time, once causing an accident on the way to a gig in West Germany after he fell asleep at the wheel, although nobody was injured. A posthumous commemorative brown plaque was titled in such a way as to make reference to his habitual lateness, namely " 'The Late' Chris Squire ".

As Squire, along with Alan White and Steve Howe, co-owned the "Yes" name at the time, the 1989 ABWH line-up without him (which contained Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe) could not record under that name.

Following Squire's death on June 27, 2015, the band's show on August 7 of the same year marked the first Yes concert ever performed without him. Former member Billy Sherwood replaced Squire during their 2015 North American tour with Toto from August to September 2015, as well as their performances in November 2015, as announced when the band first revealed Squire's disease in May 2015

On May 19, 2015, Yes announced that Squire had been diagnosed with acute erythroid leukemia, and would take a break from performing while receiving treatment.

In the late evening of June 27, 2015, Squire died from the illness at age 67 while still receiving treatment in his adopted hometown of Phoenix, Arizona. Yes' official Facebook page confirmed the news the next day. Tributes were paid by fellow musicians Brian May, Geezer Butler, Gene Simmons and Tom Morello, as well as bandmates Geoff Downes and Bill Bruford.

Squire's death was central to the song "Fragile" from the 2016 collaborative debut album between Jesu and Sun Kil Moon. In the song, Mark Kozelek recounts his experiences as a Yes fan, particularly in light of the death of a friend, also named Christopher. Squire was given a writing credit due to lyrics from his Yes composition "Onward" being quoted through backing vocals.

In April 2016 asteroid 2002 XR80 received an official permanent name from the International Astronomical Union in honour of Squire. Asteroid (90125) Chrissquire was discovered December 11, 2002 and is a main-belt asteroid with an orbital period of 4.08 years.

Venezia 76: i film che potrebbero arrivare al Lido

Nuovo post su italianaradio https://www.italianaradio.it/index.php/venezia-76-i-film-che-potrebbero-arrivare-al-lido/

Venezia 76: i film che potrebbero arrivare al Lido

Venezia 76: i film che potrebbero arrivare al Lido

Venezia 76: i film che potrebbero arrivare al Lido

A meno di un mese dalla conferenza stampa ufficiale di presentazione di Venezia 76, Deadline ha pubblicato una lista di titoli che potrebbero arrivare al Lido per la Mostra Internazionale d’arte cinematografica (in programma dal 28 agosto al 7 settembre).

Tra questi spiccano sicuramente Joker, il cinecomic con Joaquin Phoenix, Ad Astra di James Gray con Brad Pitt, il biopic Judy con Renée Zellweger e Fonzo, la pellicola su Al Capone con Tom Hardy.

Di seguito trovate tutti i papabili di quest’anno:

Joker

Joker è il nuovo film diretto da Todd Phillips (Una notte da leoni) che riporta sul grande schermo il clown principe del crimine dopo vari adattamenti. Protagonista del cinecomic Joaquin Phoenix al fianco di Zazie Beetz, Frances Conroy, Brett Cullen, Dante Pereira-Olson, Douglas Hodge e Josh Pais.

Contrariamente alle altre apparizioni del personaggio nei Batman di Tim Burton, nella trilogia del Cavaliero Oscuro di Christopher Nolan e in Suicide Squad, Joker sarà ambientato nel 1980 e racconterà l’evoluzione di un uomo ordinario e la sua trasformazione nel criminale che tutti conosciamo.

Il film ruota attorno all’iconico arcinemico di Batman ed è una storia originale e autonoma mai vista sul grande schermo. L’esplorazione di Arthur Fleck, un uomo trascurato dalla società, non sarà solo lo studio di un personaggio grintoso, ma anche il racconto di un tema molto più ampio.

About Endlessness

Potrebbe tornare al Lido dopo il Leone d’oro del 2014 assegnato a Un piccione seduto su un ramo riflette sull’esistenza lo svedese Roy Andersson, con la sua nuova opera intitolata About Endlessness.

Il film è stato descritto come una sovrapposizione poetica di quadri che catturano momenti diversi della vita, alcuni con personaggi noti come Adolf Hitler, altri con figure generali come una direttrice marketing, una donna che ama lo champagne e un prete. La narrazione verrà guidata dalla voce di una donna, che racconterà la storia dell’umanità invitando gli spettatori a riflettere sulla preziosità e la bellezza della nostra esistenza.

Ad Astra

Atteso a Venezia anche Ad Astra, il nuovo film diretto da James Gray (I padroni della notte, C’era una volta a New York), che racconta la storia di Roy McBride, un ingegnere spaziale e astronauta leggermente autistico, e del suo viaggio senza ritorno alla volta di Nettuno: il suo scopo è capire perché suo padre abbia tempo addietro fallito una missione per trovare segni di vita intelligente.

Nel cast Brad Pitt, Tommy Lee Jones, Liv Tyler, Donald Sutherland e Ruth Negga.

Against All Enemies

Il thriller politico Against All Enemies, diretto da Benedict Andrews (Una) e sceneggiato da Joe Shrapnel e Anna Waterhouse, figura tra i candidati per il concorso di Venezia 76 e vede protagonisti Kristen Stewart, Jack O’Connell, Anthony Mackie, Margaret Qualley, Colm Meaney, Zazie Beetz e Vince Vaughn.

Un cast d’eccellenza per questo intrigante film che racconta l’attacco all’attrice Jean Seberg lanciato dal programma di sorveglianza dell’F.B.I. COINTELPRO a causa del suo legame con Hakim Jamal.

The Pope

Diretto da Fernando Meirelles e basato sulla sceneggiatura di Anthony McCarten, The Pope vede protagonisti Jonathan Pryce e Anthony Hopkins rispettivamente nei panni di Papa Francesco e Benedetto XVI, gli ultimi due pontefici della chiesa cattolica.

Il film è stato prodotto da Netflix e arriverà sulla piattaforma streaming il prossimo anno.

The Aerounauts

Tratto da una storia vera, The Aeronauts è il film diretto da Tom Harper con il premio oscar Eddie Redmayne che ritrova Felicity Jones dopo La teoria del Tutto insieme a Phoebe Fox, Himesh Patel, Vincent Perez e Anne Reid.

La vicenda segue la pilota Amelia Wren e lo scienziato James Glaisher durante un viaggio in mongolfiera dove si ritroveranno a lottare per la sopravvivenza.

Fonzo

Scritto e diretto da Josh Trank (Fantastici 4, Chronicle), Fonzo porta sullo schermo il personaggio di Al Capone e gli eventi che seguirono la sua condanna a unidici anni di carcere federale.

Protagonista assoluto Tom Hardy, qui all’ennesima prova di trasformazione fisica.

Bad Education

Cast di stelle anche per Bad Education, il dramma diretto da Cory Finley e scritto da Mike Makowsky che vede protagonisti Hugh Jackman, Allison Janney, Ray Romano, Geraldine Viswanathan, Alex Wolff, Kayli Carter e Rafael Casal.

Il film è basato su eventi di vita reale accaduti durante gli anni del liceo dello stesso Makowsky.

Ema

Potrebbe tornare al Lido anche Pablo Larrain, presente due edizioni fa con Jackie. Stavolta il regista cileno si presenterebbe con Ema, film drammatico sceneggiato da Guillermo Calderón e Alejandro Moreno con Gael Garcia Bernal, Mariana Di Girolamo, Cristian Suares, Paola Giannini e Santiago Cabrera.

Bernal interpreterà il coreografo di una compagnia di danza mentre laDi Girolamo – al suo debutto cinematografico – vestirà i panni di sua moglie, un’insegnante di ballo. Tutto ruoterà intorno alle conseguenze di un’adozione andata male mentre questa famiglia va in pezzi.

The Irishman

Prendete uno dei più grandi registi della storia del cinema, Martin Scorsese, e due attori, Robert De Niro e Joe Pesci, che insieme a lui hanno creato capolavori come Toro scatenato, Quei bravi ragazzi e Casino. Aggiungete altri due premi Oscar come Al Pacino, alla sua prima collaborazione con Scorsese, e lo sceneggiatore Steven Zaillan (Schindler’s List, Gangs of New York e L’arte di vincere). Avrete alcuni degli ingredienti che hanno fatto di THE IRISHMAN il titolo più ambìto del Marché di Cannes.

Non poteva essere altrimenti, per un progetto da 100 milioni di dollari che già si annuncia come un nuovo capolavoro del “gangster movie”: per Scorsese, un nuovo affresco sulla criminalità americana, tratto dal romanzo L’Irlandese: Ho ucciso Jimmy Hoffa di Charles Brandt.

The King

Adattamento cinematografico di diverse opere teatrali dell’Henriad shakespeariano, The King è il nuovo film diretto da David Michôd (The Rover) da una sceneggiatura di Joel Edgerton e Michôd stesso. Protagonisti sullo schermo Timothée Chalamet, Robert Pattinson, Ben Mendelsohn, Sean Harris e Thomasin McKenzie.

An officer and a spy

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND – OCTOBER 02: Roman Polanski attends the ‘D’apres une histoire vraie’ premiere at the 13th Zurich Film Festival on October 2, 2017 in Zurich, Switzerland. The Zurich Film Festival 2017 will take place from September 28 until October 8. (Photo by Andreas Rentz/Getty Images)

An Officer and a Spy è il titolo del nuovo lavoro di Roman Polanski, altro nome molto atteso al Lido, che dirige la moglie Emmanuelle Seigner insieme a Jean Dujardin, Louis Garrel, Mathieu Amalric e Melvil Poupaud.

La storia del film si rifà all’affare Dreyfus: nel dicembre del 1894 il capitano Alfred Dreyfus viene accusato di tradimento dall’esercito francese di cui faceva parte e condannato dalla corte marziale a scontare la pena nell’Isola del Diavolo.

Jojo Rabbit

Dal regista di Thor: Ragnarok arriva Jojo Rabbit (attualmente in post-produzione), adattamento cinematografico del romanzo di Christine Leunens e satira sul Adolf Hitler.

Ambientato durante la seconda guerra mondiale, il film è la storia di un giovane soldato nell’esercito di Hitler che scopre che sua madre sta nascondendo un bambino ebreo in casa. Nel cast del film compaiono lo stesso Taika Waititi, Sam Rockwell, Rebel Wilson e Scarlett Johansson.

The Laundromat

Pioggia di stelle anche in The Laundromat di Steven Soderbergh, che vede nel cast Meryl Streep, Gary Oldman e Antonio Banderas.

Il film segue un gruppo di giornalisti che lavora per riesumare 11,5 milioni di file collegando le figure politiche più potenti del mondo a conti bancari segreti usati per evitare le tasse.

The Last Thing He Wanted

Dopo l’acclamato Mudbound la regista americana Dee Rees torna dietro la macchina da presa con il thriller intitolato The Last Thing He Wanted e basato sull’omonimo libro di Joan Didion. Nel cast Anne Hathaway, Willem Dafoe, Ben Affleck, Toby Jones e Rosie Perez.

La storia segue Elena McMahon, una giornalista del Washington Post che lascia la copertura delle primarie presidenziali del 1984 per prendersi cura di suo padre dopo la morte della madre. Grazie ad una girandola di eventi la donna diventa una trafficante d’armi per il governo degli Stati Uniti in America Centrale.

Judy

Renée Zellweger è la protagonista del biopic dedicato a Judy Garland e diretto da Rupert Goold che ripercorre gli ultimi anni di vita della cantante americana.

Nell’inverno del 1968 la leggenda dello showbiz Judy Garland arriva nella Swinging London per esibirsi alla Talk of the Town. Sono passati trent’anni dalla sua interpretazione ne Il mago di Oz. La sua voce è debole ma la sua intensità drammatica è cresciuta. Mentre si prepara per lo show, tra management, affascinati musicisti, amici e fan adoranti, il suo calore svanisce. Quando Mickey Deans, il suo futuro marito cinquantenne, comincia a corteggiarla, tutti i suoi sogni di una storia romantica non sembrano svanire. Judy è fragile. Dopo aver lavorato per 45 anni, all’età di 47 anni è esausta: i ricordi di un’infanzia perduta per Hollywood e il desiderio di tornare a casa dai suoi bambini la tormentano. Avrà la forza di superare tutto?

Today we remember the passing of Peter Banks who died March 7, 2013 in London, England

Peter William Brockbanks (15 July 1947 – 7 March 2013), known professionally as Peter Banks, was an English guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and producer. He was best known as the original guitarist in the rock bands the Syn, Yes, Flash, and Empire. Former Sniffin' Glue and NME journalist Danny Baker described Banks as "the architect of progressive music".

Banks started with the Nighthawks in 1963, and played his first concert at the New Barnet Pop Festival before leaving that band to join the Devil's Disciples in 1964. The band consisted of Banks on guitar, John Tite on vocals, Ray Alford on bass and Malcolm "Pinnie" Raye on drums. They recorded two songs on an acetate, Arthur Alexander's "You Better Move On" and Graham Gouldman's "For Your Love" which would be a hit record for the Yardbirds one year later. These two songs can be found on Banks' archival album Can I Play You Something. According to Chris Welch, The Devil's Disciples used to play the Rolling Stones' first album in its entirety, just for the sake of it. About a year later, Banks joined The Syndicats, replacing their guitarist Ray Fenwick, who himself had replaced Steve Howe, who would later replace Banks in Yes.

Banks then formed a new band with ex-the Selfs bassist Chris Squire, this band being the Syn. They were joined by keyboardist Andrew Pryce Jackman, Steve Nardelli on vocals as well as Gunnar Jökull Hákonarson on drums. They recorded two singles, "Created by Clive"/"Grounded" and "Flowerman"/"14 Hour Technicolour Dream" both in 1967 before calling it a day a year later. Squire meanwhile joined friends Clive Bayley (rhythm guitar) and Bob Hagger (drums) in Mabel Greer's Toyshop, and Banks came to join that band. He briefly left the band, which was subsequently joined by singer Jon Anderson and then drummer Bill Bruford replacing Hagger. During that short period of time, Banks played with the band Neat Change, recording one single, "I Lied to Aunty May" with Squire on tambourine and chorus. Banks then returned to Mabel Greer's Toyshop, and with the loss of Bayley and the addition of organist/pianist Tony Kaye, they started to write new music together, adding to a repertoire already including two songs already written, "Beyond and Before" by Squire and Bayley and "Sweetness" by Anderson, Bayley and Squire.

The members searched for an appropriate name, Anderson would suggest Life and Squire would propose World but all would agree on Banks' proposition of Yes. Atlantic Records took notice of the band and, in 1969, got them into a studio to record their first album, Yes. The next year another album was in progress (Time and a Word) but Anderson and Squire decided they wanted an orchestra backing the five musicians. The idea was not well received by Banks, and things got worse when the orchestral arrangements left the guitarist, as well as Tony Kaye, with little to do (strings replaced their parts almost note-for-note). Once the album was released, a tour ensued; Banks was asked to leave the group, playing his last concert with Yes on 18 April 1970 at The Luton College of Technology. He was replaced by Steve Howe.

During Yes' 1991 Union tour, Kaye invited Banks to play during the encore at 15 May show at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood, California, United States. Banks accepted the invitation and went to the show, but says he was told by Kaye that Howe did not want him to play.

In August 1994, Banks was a featured guest at a Yes fan festival called Yestival. In 1995, he performed "Astral Traveller" on the Yes tribute album Tales from Yesterday. In 1997, he coordinated the release of a Yes compilation titled Something's Coming: The BBC Recordings 1969–1970. His liner notes described his early days with the band. Banks was also present at Yestival in July 1998. In 2006, he was interviewed for the Yes documentary Classic Artists: Yes. Several music videos featuring him with Yes during their early days can be seen in The Lost Broadcasts DVD released in 2009.

Work in the second half of the 1970s included a number of session appearances, on separate albums by Lonnie Donegan and Jakob Frímann Magnússon. Banks made an appearance on Romeo Unchained, a 1986 album by Tonio K. He also worked with Ian Wallace in The Teabags, including Jackie Lomax on vocals and Kim Gardner on bass, the two played before with Tony Kaye's Badger, David Mansfield on guitar and Mel Collins on sax and flute. No recordings came out of that.

In 1993, Banks released Instinct, a solo album of instrumental tracks with him playing all the parts. Only a keyboard player, Gerald Goff, joined him for his next album, Self Contained (1995). In 1997, Banks was mainly responsible for the release of a double live Yes album, Something's Coming: The BBC Recordings 1969–1970 (renamed Beyond and Before in the US), a collection of appearances at the BBC during 1969 and 1970, featuring the original line-up in all tracks and with a booklet containing the guitarist's account of those early days.

Another archival release was Psychosync, a live Flash recording made in 1973 for the King Biscuit Flower Hour and finally released in 1998. Also, between 1995 and 1997 all three Empire albums were released (one per year). Banks also collaborated in 1995's Tales from Yesterday (a Yes tribute album) performing a version of the song "Astral Traveller" with Robert Berry; appeared on the album Big Beats in 1997; and played on 1999's Encores, Legends and Paradox, an Emerson, Lake & Palmer tribute album. He contributed to 1999's Come Together People of Funk by Funky Monkey (including keyboardist Gerard Johnson who helped on a number of Banks' projects in the 1990s and who also worked with Banks' old bandmate Chris Squire).

Those collaborations filled the gap in his own recording career, until 1999, when the album Reduction was issued. In 2000, Banks put out a collection of his oldest recordings (many previously unreleased) called Can I Play You Something?. The front sleeve of this last record showed an eight-year-old Banks posing with his first guitar. The track listing includes some early recordings by The Syn, Mabel Greer's Toyshop, and Yes, including an early rendition of the song "Beyond and Before".

A short track in the latter collection was called "Lima Loop". This is because Lima, Peru, became a special place for Banks in recent years. Cecilia Quino, a Peruvian girl who was a Yes fan, met and later wed Banks. They married in Lima, where the bride's parents lived. They later divorced.

Following an appearance by Banks and Geoff Downes together at the 1998 edition of Yestival (a Yes fan festival), the pair played some sessions and the possibility of Banks joining Asia was mooted. However, these sessions did not lead anywhere.

Banks appeared in small concerts by new young local bands, including the Yes tribute band Fragile. Later recorded appearances by Banks included Jabberwocky (2000) and Hound of the Baskervilles (2002), a pair of albums recorded by Oliver Wakeman (Rick Wakeman's son) and Clive Nolan. Rick Wakeman also narrates on the Jabberwocky album. Peter Banks also guested further on the Funky Monkey project.

Banks was initially involved in a reunion of The Syn in 2004 but left the band. After early talks in 2004, he was also not included in the current Flash reunion, which made their debut return at the Prog Day Festival 2010 with Flash bassist Ray Bennett taking over on lead guitar.

In late 2004, Banks formed a new improvising band, Harmony in Diversity, with Andrew Booker and Nick Cottam (who had been working together as duo Pulse Engine). They played a short UK tour in March 2006, and released an album called Trying. Booker left the band soon after. He was replaced by David Speight and the band continued to play further dates in the UK and Hungary in 2007. Banks was also planning a related project with keyboardist Gonzalo Carrera.

In Gibson Guitar's Lifestyle e-magazine of 3 February 2009, Banks is listed as one of the "10 Great Prog Rock Guitarists". According to the article, "Before there was Steve Howe, there was Peter Banks. Artistic differences between Banks and singer Jon Anderson prompted Banks's departure from Yes in 1970, but in his little-known '70s band, Flash, Banks used an ES-335 to create several should-have-been prog rock classics. "Lifetime", from Flash's In the Can album, is his tour-de-force."

Banks died of heart failure on 7 March 2013 at his home in Barnet, London. He was reportedly found after failing to turn up for a scheduled recording session. He was 65.
