Hello.

I don't think they have been posted on the archives page so for those of you who have these recordings, here are covers I created around the end of last year for the Cully 98 (CD) and Meldola 04 (DVD) concerts.

thanks Zeruyo !

I must say Laurent is a truly amazing cat when doing covers, I like his work a lot too and even if we dont really use CD format anymore, I really enjoy printing covers.

I've made a kinda book with all covers in photo paper quality, this way I can just go through it and then I choose a concert I want to hear just by looking at the sleeve....

The Meldola sleeve is wicked I think !

EDIT : I've added the links to the website, under the FTP link.

Hello.

Well thanks for the kind words to both of you and the link on the opening page of the archives site Dimitri.
It means a lot... I mean A LOT!

No problem for the late addition of these covers to the site, I know you're pretty busy.

Thanks.

hello.

Well Harry, I did other covers for the archives site:
- Berlin 94 - Quasimodo club with Metrics
- Bamboo Club Toronto 96
- La Courneuve 96, I have to say that I didn't do the watercolor which I used for the cover, it was done by a French painter, friend of mine named Jérôme Dupont (http://www.jeromedupont.com)
- Hamburg 03 (I did everything on this one, including the painting)
- Burlington 04
You can see them on the audio video listing.
Creating visuals for Steve Coleman's music is a very exciting process for me,
I play the recording, switch on my antennas, and try to catch the vibe(s) then the visuals start to come, I would not say that it's effortless, but it's always a pleasure.

Hello.

Well, it took me 6 months until I found the time to do it, but here it is.
You can find a high def version of the sleeve I've created for the Burghausen recording at the following address:

As usual your feedback are welcome.

When watching this recording, I realized that Charlie is not the only Parker who influenced Steve Coleman music, I think Maceo was also part of the influence.
Too funky!

Best.

Steve Coleman: "Maceo Parker is not a really big influence on my music, this is more talked about by music writers and critics. I just liked his playing when I was younger. James Brown is more of a bigger influence. Charlie Parker and West African music are huge influences on my music and my live. ... "

Thanks for the cover.
