[life] Why I love CGT
If you're a French person and were guessing what I have to do with the most famous French union, you've just been tricked.
CGT stands for California Guitar Trio, a band of three virtuose guitar players. We attended their French gig yesterday night at 'Le New Morning', a famous jazz club in Paris.
They came and played with Tony Levin who is, for the skilled music amateurs, one of the top world's bass player (*the* top for me).
That was an amazing concert and great experience. Just try to imagine Pink Floyd's 'Echoes' played by 3 (electrified) acoustic guitar players, just after a 'Prelude and Fugue' by J.S. Bach, played cyclically (one note per player in round-robin order....a playing method invented by Robert Fripp and the League of Crafty Guitarists). That plus Bohemian Rhapsody, several pieces of their own and a stunning composition by Tony Levin where he proved that he *is* really a virtuose bass player..:-)
I was just stunned, indeed....and, of course, also enjoyed a lot the presence in a very small club of Uncle Tony who I saw many times until now, but only in big arenas in all Peter Gabriel concerts I've attended since about 1980.
CGT will play tonight (15th) on Milan, tomorrow in Roma, on 27th in Toronto, 31th in Rouyn-Noranda (Quebec) and a few times with friends during the Quebec Summer Festival.
Then, they'll play in many places in California and all over USA. If you love eclectic music, just go listening to them.
So, yes, CGT rocks!
