Michael Franks
Meskipun preferensi mendengar musik saya saat ini lebih banyak di musik rock, namun saya masih terus pingin ngikutin kiprah penyanyi vocal jazzy Michael Franks.Lewat suatu kaset kompilasi Jazz Vocal tahun 80 an, saya mengenal penyanyi dengan suara unik ini.
Pertama kali beli kasetnya adalah rilisan Aquarius dengan titel The Very Best of Michael Franks yang berisikan lagu semacam:
- The Lady Wants to Know
- Antonio Song
- Monkey See Monkey Do
- dll
Lama gak ngikutin kiprahnya, pas browsing nemu adanya album baru Rendezvous in Rio, langsung nyari ke Musik +, Duta Suara & Aquarius dengan hasil nihil. Juga ada album Watchin The Snow yg juga lom punya.
Berkat kebaikan Bli Rikon, akhirnya CD Rendezvous in Rio bisa masuk dalam daftar koleksi Michael Franks saya, sementara untuk Watchin The Snow masuk dalam wishlist.
Inilah diskografi Michael Franks:
1973-Michael Franks
1975-Art of Tea
1977-Sleeping Gypsy
1978-Burchfield Nines
1979-Tiger in the Rain

Michael Franks - Rendezvous in Rio
Over the languorous course of 33 years and 16 albums, Michael Franks has mesmerized an international legion of fans with his one-of-a-kind artistry. Seamlessly weaving lyrics of stunning sensuality, wit, reflection and literary eloquence over music that tastefully utilizes top shelf shadings of jazz, soul, pop, chamber and music from around the globe, Michael Franks the songwriter has set a bar in the music world that places him as nothing less than a statesman of song craft. His best known works include “Popsicle Toes,” “Monkey See-Monkey Do,” “The Lady Wants To Know,” “When the Cookie Jar is Empty,” “Tiger in the Rain,” “Rainy Night in Tokyo” and “Tell Me All About It” (covered by artists ranging from Diana Krall and Natalie Cole to Manhattan Transfer and the Carpenters). As if that weren't enough, Michael Franks the singer is gifted with a gentle, deliciously expressive voice - identifiable from note one.
For his 17th album, Rendezvous in Rio (his first for Koch Records - in stores June 27), Michael Franks sways to a very familiar South American beat. The CD marks a 180-degree shift in scenario and temperature zone from his previous project, the holiday/winter CD Watching the Snow. On Rendezvous, Michael collaborates with old friends/producers Jeff Lorber, Jimmy Haslip (of the fusion band Yellowjackets) and guitarist Chuck Loeb, as well as newer partners engineer/bassist Scott Petito and his touring Musical Director and keyboardist Charles Blenzig. Blenzig proved literally 'instrumental' in the creation of the funky, melodic bossa that became the title track, "Rendezvous in Rio." "That song was originally an instrumental with a different title from a record that Charles recorded," Michael shares. "It was more Latin than Brazilian, but that was the first music I sat down and wrote to for this album in September of 2005."
Brazilian music, culture and vibe have haunted Michael's work from early on. The country's renowned composer Antonio Carlos Jobim has been such a significant influence on his writing that Michael has dedicated three songs to him over the years: "Antonio's Song (The Rainbow)," "Like Water, Like Wind" and "Abandoned Garden." And for his third album, Sleeping Gypsy (1977), Michael flew down to Rio to record two now-classic compositions: "Down in Brazil" and "B'Wana-He No Home." Listening to his catalog as well as new songs like "Under the Sun," one might assume that Michael has journeyed often to the land of the cafe' au lait cariocas...but he's only been once.
The first song Michael recorded for Rendezvous in Rio, which set the tone for the CD, represents a rarity for Michael - a cover. Though he has written lyrics for previously composed songs before, the songwriter isn't one to do straight renditions of other people's material. The fortunate exception here is a charming piece by Paolo Jobim and Ronaldo Bastos titled "Samba do Soho" that features lovely exchanges between the guitar and flute 'trading 8s.' "I admire this piece very much," Michael states. "There's just something so enduringly happy about it. My friends Astrud Gilberto and Paolo gave me a demo cassette of the song years ago. She'd recorded it on an album with the James Last Orchestra and Paolo had sung it on his father’s (Antonio Carlos Jobim’s) album, Passarim." Dueting with Michael on the chorus in Portugese is singer Pamela Driggs (wife of guitarist Romero Lubambo who plays on the title track).
Another gem of the album is "The Chemistry of Love", an evocative meditation on organic oneness between a man and a woman. It's a composition of Michael's that was first recorded as the title track of an album by Japanese Flugelhorn player, Toku. For his own version, Michael called upon keyboardist Jeff Lorber at the start of this project and, as always, received simpatico results. "I gave Lorber 'Chemistry' and we talked about possible players. Jeff jumped on the song right away and e-mailed me an arrangement a few days later that was great."
Receiving that track from Lorber so quickly got Michael's creative juices flowing for the tasks ahead of laying out the rest of the album, the most important aspect of which - beyond composing - is casting the proper musicians for each song as he goes...something for which he has become an undisputed master. From Gary Meek's laidback solo and sectional sax work that colors the clever wordplay of "Scatsville" (dig Michael's recurring scat line here) to Eric Marienthal's tangier tenor on the more robust ‘unrequited love’ song "The Question is Why," every player is hand-picked with the finesse of first class interior design.
Moving into the meat of Rendezvous in Rio, we find four exceptionally introspective pieces that provide a peak into Michael's past and the fabric of his artistic self.
The first is yet another selection from his musical Noa Noa that explores the life of the painter Gauguin. Since 1990, selections from this musical have appeared on Michael's albums Blue Pacific ("Vincent's Ear," "On the Inside" and "Woman in the Waves") and Abandoned Garden ("Without Your Love" and "In the Yellow House"). For this CD, we are treated to "The Critics Are Never Kind," a musical conversation between the painters Gauguin, Van Gogh and Degas. In a more traditional type of 'casting,' Michael asked his friend Robbie Dupree (of 1980's "Steal Away" fame) to voice Gauguin and singer Larry Hoppen (of Orleans) to be Degas while he took the role of Van Gogh himself. The joy and pain of uncompromised artistry is explored in both the lyric and the music of this song. It opens as a moody urban blues as the gentlemen turn the tables to skewer the critics. Later, a brightening bridge cascades into the chorus as the men sing together of the satisfaction derived from "what it's like to get high on sweet inspiration."
Noa Noa was briefly work-shopped off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons in 1995, but its 28 songs have yet to be given a proper showcase. Michael hopes to remedy this by recording a cast album, then taking a cast on the road to perform it like summer stock. Stay tuned for further developments.
Personal and musical revelations abound in a pair of the album's jazziest numbers, "The Cool School" and "Hearing 'Take Five'" - the origins of which stretch back to a fateful day in Michael's early `60s teen years growing up in the San Diego area. "I never studied music formally," he reflects. "Blues and folk were really popular then and I was just starting to play guitar. My parents' taste leaned toward vocalists of the day like June Christy and Peggy Lee. But I remember going to a friend's house one weekend where his father played me some of his new records. He took me into the living room where they had this audiophile Hi-Fi - very minimalist with tubes and stuff. The one my parents had was a console that looked like it could double as a liquor cabinet, so I was really impressed! Anyway, he played me Mose Allison's "Your Mind is On Vacation" (from I Don't Worry About A Thing - 1962 - Atlantic) and Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" (from Time Out - 1959 - Columbia). When I heard those two songs, I felt like the blinders had been taken off - like I'd had some kind of musical cataract surgery to discover that there was so much more music out there to hear. It was a turning point."
Michael brilliantly uses that turning point to reminisce on an era when musical giants roamed the earth. On "The Cool School," a jazz waltz with a smoky Wes Montgomery feel in the lead guitar played by Chuck Loeb, Michael muses, "Am I dinosaur, yeah you bet / I grew up listening to Mose and Chet / Let others fume and fuss / Belabor the obvious / Me, I'm a child of the cool school." Then on "Hearing 'Take Five'" - a masterful 5/4 musing produced by bassist Jimmy Haslip, arranged by pianist Roger Burn and featuring the first drum solo ever on a Michael Franks album (courtesy of the volcanic Vinnie Colaiuta) - our hero sings, "For once pure genius also was fame / And once I heard it I was never the same / Paul Desmond, Gene and Joe and Dave / Brought my Philco alive / Playing 'Take Five.'"
Thoughts on the bittersweet tinge of time's passing bring Michael's latest masterpiece to a heartwarming close with "Songbirds," offering hypnotic reflections on the passing of singular singers and artists. Thoughts such as this grow more profound each time we read or hear about another great musician making their transition from the planet. Michael dedicates "Songbirds" to singer/writer Randy VanWarmer (who sang stellar background vocals on Michael's Quiet Storm classic "Tahitian Moon" from Objects of Desire) and drummer/songwriter John Guerin (who played on Michael's salad days albums The Art of Tea and Sleeping Gypsy, co-writing "Don't Be Blue"). The men passed away within four days of each other in January of 2004. Michael eloquently eulogizes within the song, "When I consider your absence / Then my smile erases / Sure, the Creator creates / But rarely He replaces..."
"The thing that gets me when we lose someone within that stratum of people," Michael reflects, "especially when it comes to the elders of the jazz community - there's no one to fill their shoes. It's like the end of an era."
As long as Michael Franks continues to put pen to paper, lending life and voice to song, and creating poetically inspired albums such as Rendezvous in Rio, the tradition of true artistry will gracefully endure...like branches braving the night breeze in Brazilian banana trees.

Kabeh Podho Mundhak, sing Mudhun mong Kathok
??????????????
Minggu pagi seperti biasa saya jalan ke pasar tradisionil, saya belanja dalam rangka menyalurkan hobby, sekaligus mengingat jaman kos dulu, yaitu masak-memasak....
Pas belanja, hari ini mendapati suatu kenyataan naiknya harga komoditi di pasar. Cabe rawit beli 1000 rupiah, cuman dapet beberapa buah........
Ketika bertanya pada mbak penjualnya.....
Wis mas, sejak BBM arep mundhak, Kabeh Podho Mundhak, sing Mudhun mong Kathok
(bhs Jawa=Sejak BBM mau naik, semua pada naik, yang turun cuman celana).
Nyengir getir mendengarnya........

Setelah mengeksplorasi bunyi dengan berbagai musisi, kali ini Iwan Fals tampil memunculkan diri sendiri.
Inilah full album Iwan Fals pertama kali yang seluruhnya merupakan nomor akustik (album akustik berikutnya adalah Suara Hati).
Album ini dari peralatan musik sangat sederhana, hanya ada iringan gitar akustik dan harmonika yang dimainkan sendiri.
Dalam sampul kasetnya terdapat prakata dari Fajar Budiman sebagai berikut:
Sebagai bagian dari penyaksi perjalanan sosok Iwan Fals, memiliki sebuah kerinduan terhadap bentuk kesederhanaan yang mendalam.Disini kita bisa lebih bisa menikmati Iwan Fals dalam dirinya secara utuh dan polos.
Lagu yang tersaji dalam album yang digarap tahun 1992 ini adalah:
01 Belum Ada Judul,
02 Besar & Kecil,
03 Ia Atau Tidak,
04 Mereka Ada Di Jalan,
05 Potret
06 Di Mata Air Tidak Ada Air Mata,
07 Ikrar
08 Aku Disini
09 Mencetak Swah
10 Panggilan Dari Gunung,
11 Coretan Dinding,
Dari rangkaian lagu yang ada track favorit saya adalah "Mereka Ada Di Jalan" sangat getir terasa.
Sepakbola adalah kegemaran Iwan Fals dan jutaan rakyat Indonesia. Inilah lagu perih tentang hilangnya lapangan sepakbola yang ditelan pembangunan. sangat relevan dengan sebab kenapa sukar sekali menemukan bibit unggul untuk PSSI, gimana mau muncul kalo mau main aja gak ada lapangannya.Menyimak liriknya bagi generasi sekarang yang mengenal sosok Budi Sudarsono, Bambang Pamungkas, Elly Aiboy dll. Nama-nama dilagu ini mungkin agak asing (Ramang, Abdul Kadir, Ronny Paslah, Iswadi Idris, Ricky Jacobi, Nobon, Yudo Hadianto, Herry Kiswanto, Rully Nere, Sucipto Suntoro, Marzuki Nyakmad), namun nama ini sangat lekat terpatri didada penggemar bola saat itu.
perhatikan liriknya:
Mereka Ada Di Jalan
Pukul tiga sore hari
Di jalan yang belum jadi
Aku melihat anak anak kecil
Telanjang dada telanjang kaki
Asik mengejar bola
Kuhampiri kudekati
Lalu duduk di tanah yang lebih tinggi
Agar lebih jelas lihat dan rasakan
Semangat mereka keringat mereka
Dalam memenangkan permainan
Ramang kecil Kadir kecil
Menggiring bola di jalanan
Rulli kecil Ricki kecil
Lika liku jebolkan gawang
Tiang gawang puing puing
Sisa bangunan yang tergusur
Tanah lapang hanya tinggal cerita
Yang nampak mata hanya
Para pembual saja
Anak kota tak mampu beli sepatu
Anak kota tak punya tanah lapang
Sepak bola menjadi barang yang mahal
Milik mereka yang punya uang saja
Dan sementara kita disini di jalan ini
Bola kaki dari plastik
Ditendang mampir ke langit
Pecahlah sudah kaca jendela hati
Sebab terkena bola
Tentu bukan salah mereka
Roni kecil Heri kecil
Gaya samba sodorkan bola
Nobon kecil Juki kecil
Jegal lawan amankan gawang
Cipto kecil Iswadi kecil
Tak tik tik tak terinjak paku
Yudo kecil Paslah kecil
Terkam bola jatuh menangis
Iwan Fals - Orang Gila
Tahun 1994
Label:Harpa (Kaset)
Label:Harpa (Kaset)
Label:Nirvana (CD-2001)
Musisi:
- Iwan Fals
- Billy J. Budiharjo
- Rere,
- Gideon Tengker,
- Budi Bidhun,
- Eddy Kemput,
- Dian Pramana Putra
track list:
01 Orang Gila
02 Awang-Awang
03 Satu-Satu
04 Lagu Cinta
05 Doa Dalam Sunyi
06 Lingkaran Hening
07 Puisi Gelap
08 Menunggu Ditimbang Malah Muntah
Lagi-lagi Iwan Fals mengeksplorasi corak musiknya. Album ini merupakan kolaborasi baru antara Iwan Fals dengan musisi-musisi rock seperti Rere, Gideon Tengker, Eddy Kemput.
Mendengar lagu pembuka "Orang Gila" yang terdengar seperti lagu "dance" / new wave 80 an, terkesan menjadi hidangan pembuka yang tidak membangkitkan selera.
Kesan ini pupus setelah mendengar track ke 2 Awang awang. Musik bermetamorphosis menjadi sebuah nomor dengan balutan Rock kental lewat Drum Rere dan Gitar Eddy Kemput. Sapuan dua personel band progresif rock asal Surabaya Grass Rock ini membuat lagu ini terasa bertenaga.
track ke 3, sebuah ballad dengan harmonisasi petikan gitar, tamborine dan perkusi yang membalut keindahan lirik yang bercerita tentang proses regenerasi secara alami yang berjalan sangat mulus tanpa gejolak. Lagu ini menjadi favorit saya dalam album ini
track ke 4 menunjukkan bagaimana kepiawaian Iwan Fals dalam menyanyikan sebuah lagu cinta tanpa harus menjadi lembek dan cengeng.
Suara keyboard, dan ditingkahi petikan halus gitar pada track ke 5 doa dalam sunyi merayap pelan mendaki dipandu ketukan drum.
track ke 6 Lingkaran hening seolah-olah masih nyambung dengan lagu doa dalam sunyi. Didominasi dengan piano dan keyboard yang mengawal vocal Iwan Fals yang terasa parau dan bergetar.
track ke 7 Puisi Gelap lebih tepat disebut sebagai Iwan fals membacakan puisi karya Sawung Jabo dibandingkan sedang menyanyikan lagu. Sesuai judulnya ini betul-betul bernuansa gelap sekali.
track ke 8 merupakan sebuah nomor akustik khas Iwan Fals, dengan gitar akustik sesekali muncul suara keyboard dikejauhan, lagu ini seperti bertutur.
Pada versi CD terdapat 2 lagu tambahan yang dipetik dari album akustik "Belum Ada Judul" yaitu Ia atau tidak dan Panggilan Dari Gunung.
Secara keseluruhan album ini menggambarkan bagaimana eksplorasi Iwan Fals yang tiada henti, namun album ini beredar setelah beberapa monster album Iwan Fals keluar.
Bagi pendengar yang sudah terpatri dengan kedahsyatan album Mata Dewa, Swami, Kantata Takwa, Hijau dan Cikal maka album ini akan terasa tawar.
