The soul of a man ...,
By FrizzText "frizz" (Wuppertal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Terry Callier - Live in Berlin [DVD] [2005] (DVD)
"It's a perfect Sunday morning album. It's the perfect happy album. The perfect love album. The perfect sad album... "- Terry Callier's music is described at Amazon in England, Canada or the USA with enthusiasm. It's a luck that he appeared in Berlin: So he could fall into the hands of producer Beatrice Tillmann: Because a film is superior to a bare CD, if you want to capture the impression which a man leaves, "The Soul of a Man" (Martin Scorsese). The jazz guitarist Jim Mullen describes Terry Callier as a man who is vulnerable and sensitive, but interacts with the musicians nevertheless dynamically. This is correct! He is able to deliver real answer battles with his voice to the saxophone player Gary Plumley. Terry Callier's voice is not always gentle and paints relaxed sound atmospheres (he has fingered out on his acoustic guitar); suddenly he swings up in enormous heights and offers forcefully a melody-fight to the flute there above. His stage presence is magical. Noisy people get quiet at the very delicate Intros on the acoustic guitar - so no one hears a pin falling. The curl-headed vivacious drummer Alix Ewandé [a cute young woman who's new to the band] after a short waiting interval in the background will wake you up as well as the percussionist Bosco de Oliveira takes care, that nobody falls asleep in the course of a title. Jim Mullen (melody guitar) has Duke Ellington in his fingers, Terry Callier (accompanying guitar) hugs his Billie Holiday deeply inside. In songs like "Fix the blame" he shows, that he does care about what he sings. Terry Callier takes effort with his song lyric poetry. Keyboards [Chris Kibble] and acoustic bass [Andy Kremer] put a carpet that nobody can stay sitting down on his chair. The scene is filmed in the QUASIMODO Jazz-Club in Berlin 2005 perfectly. The director Beatrice Tillmann has used three cameras which are mixed alternately from the left (there is working the drummer from Paris which somehow reminds me of my daughter with her red shimmering Dreadlocks and African rhythm preferences) or from the right (near to the fingerboard of the jazz-guitarist Jim Mullen) or (3.) frontal: capturing the atmosphere completely. The DVD presents in Extras interviews, backstage impressions and studio Sessions, which Beatrice Tillmann captured with her camera in London. One wishes that this director still works on to capture some other musicians with her camera so perfectly...

Must-have for Terry Callier fans!,
By Charles Ford - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Live in berlin (DVD)
This DVD isn't cheap, but it's well worth it. It's Terry and band recorded live in a small club in Berlin and it's fabulous.
I only discovered Terry about ten years ago (when he duetted with Beth Orton on her Best Bits EP). Since then, I have bought every CD I could find and now have them all. Every one is very good, and some are excellent (the three Chess albums, TimePeace, etc.). Songs like "Ordinary Joe" (which opens this live DVD) and "What Color is Love" are true classics. Is he soul - folk - jazz - yes to all. His band is more like a jazz band, very tight, and they jam! His warmth, spirituality, and love for his music and humanity come through and brighten up the whole world. If you love his music, you will love this DVD! |
