PRESS RELEASE:
Anamateur, together with his beloved accomplices Priamos Morakis and
Periklis Trivolis, continues presenting his tribute to one of his most
beloved musical heroes, Thomas "Fats" Waller, the legendary jazz
entertainer.
The repertoire will not include songs that Fats made famous through his
inimitable performance (either as a befooling crooner or as a stride
piano innovator and virtuoso). It will focus on the songs for which
he wrote the music (Andy Razaf often writing the lyrics) and which
do not include only the widely known "Ain't misbehavin'" and
"Honeysuckle Rose", but many other unexplored treasures, with an
often sarcastic view on social issues ("The spider and the fly",
"Black and Blue"). This is a gig which is not only suitable for the
fans of Waller and of the '30s swing, but also for the fans of
Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins, these pioneers of modern jazz
who never hid their admiration for Fats.
Address: 44 Plataion str., 10435, Athens; tel: (+30) 210 3454977. Entrance: 5 €.
