Gilles Peterson Review
Roy Ayers Celebrates 75th Birthday with Gilles Peterson
The meet up between the legendary American Pop Funk Artist, Roy Ayers and one of the world’s most acclaimed disk jockey, Gilles Peterson is one of the most awaited in the BBC 6 programme until it aired last September 12, 2015. It even coincided with the celebration of Ayers’ 75th birthday just two days before.
As the programme started to air, jazz music composed by Ayers himself was being played in the background, creating a lively atmosphere for those who are tuned in.
The two also reviewed Ayers’ first break in the music industry, his famous masterpieces and his exciting personal experiences without skipping a beat on Roy’s personal favorite composition, Everybody Loves the Sunshine.
Roy and Gilles looked back on Ayer’s first gig with Chico Hamilton, another famous Jazz drummer and bandleader, when they traveled to the Far East region of the world as they called Japan in 1965. Roy also applauded the famous jazz flautist, Herbie Mann and went on with his four-year friendship with him. He shared how Mann was able to help him and two others on their own financial budgeting and guided them through the business circulating in the music industry when they were traveling overseas in the late 1970s. Ayers also admitted that even when he is already 75 years old, he is still learning how to integrate the passion in music to the professional side of it.
Peterson also prodded on Ayers’ incredible record count. Roy was humble enough to admit that he has 91 albums, 43 albums short of Lionel Hamilton’s. Everybody Loves the Sunshine is pointed as his favorite before the actual demo was played exclusively for the audience to listen to. This record is also known to be one of Ayers’ signature compositions which earned him the title, “the Godfather of Neo Soul”. Roy is also a key figure in the acid jazz movement, which is a mixture of jazz, funk and hip hop.
Throughout the programme, Gilles and Roy continued to talk about the nostalgic feeling of Roy’s music. Peterson also stated that he had been enjoying mixing it out in his performances worldwide. The records have also been a favorite of audiences from Tokyo, Japan, Jakarta, Indonesia and Egypt, much to the delight of the 75-year old jazz performer.
Gilles also commended Ayers for his enthusiasm in traveling and performing, even when he is already passed his prime. Roy’s great pull of the crowd during gigs is also praiseworthy. Ayers also expressed his gratitude to Pharell Williams, one of today’s most famous artists and producer, who publicly pointed him as his idol.
To listen to the funny and nostalgic conversation between Gilles and Roy, a recorded interview is still available for streaming in the BBC site and Brownswood Boiler Room.
Meir Ezra Blog about Why You Should Give More Than You Receive
Perhaps you give more gifts and holiday cheer than anyone gives to you. You may give great advice, but never get thanked for it. Maybe you donate more than your fair share to those who are less fortunate than you.
And that's a good thing!
"A human being feels able and competent only so long as he is permitted to contribute as much or more than he has contributed to him." -- L. Ron Hubbard
For example, you promise to work five extra hours for your client, Joe. During those hours, you are focused, efficient and professional. You get so involved with the job, you forget to watch the clock and end up working for almost six hours, but still only charge for five. Joe is impressed and you are proud. Your future with Joe feels secure.
As another example, you tell Chris, "You poor thing! You don't need to work. We'll just give you money each month." At first, Chris thinks this is a great deal. But soon, she wonders, "Am I so useless that no one wants me to work? Can't I make a contribution here?" She feels unable and incompetent. If you then get Chris to do some work for the money, she feels happy and secure.
As a final example, you encourage your children to contribute to the family. Your four-year old sweeps the floors each day. Your ten-year-old takes care of the pets. Your fifteen-year-old washes your car every week. Your family is happy as everyone feels able and competent.
"A man can over-contribute and feel secure in an environment. He feels insecure the moment he under-contributes, which is to say, gives less than he receives. If you don't believe this, recall a time when everyone else brought something to the party but you didn't. How did you feel? -- L. Ron Hubbard
Mike Zimmer Credited for Adrian Peterson’s Return
On June 2, 2015, Minnesota Viking’s running back, Adrian Peterson surprised everyone for his comeback on the field. In the midst of practice, he attended an interview with the presence of Viking coach, Mike Zimmerman.
Viking’s general manager, Rick Spielman stated on the 4th of June in his interview with NBC sports that Zimmerman is one who particularly deserves credit for the détente they reached with their veteran running back. The team did not hide their clear sense of relief to finally have Peterson back, clearing and resolving the situation.
In a statement he made in the interview, Spielman noted, “I think coach Zimmer has a great relationship with players in general. And his ability to communicate with them. . . . As you know, there’s not much filter with coach Zimmer, but that’s why players respect him”. Spielman added, “Not only is he a great teacher and going to make a better football player, but they have the utmost respect for him and how he handles things.”
Beyond his rare abilities on the field, Peterson seems to be making a smooth transition back into the mix with teammates, both new and old, who welcomed him back when he rejoined the Vikings earlier this week.
With the death of one of his sons back in 2012 which also made it to the headlines, seems like Adrian has managed well after another allegation was thrown at him in September, 2014, causing him to declare hiatus in his activities. The Peterson group of legal counsel has stated in an interview that although it was not shown, Peterson also experienced a lot of disappointments and frustrations for the way the media has reacted regarding his sons.
The news of the running back taking a break for almost 9 months has also bothered his fans even from outside the United States. A lot of fans from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Jakarta, Indonesia and Singapore had stated their disbelief of child abuse that is accused of him.
According to reviews and news, Peterson allegedly hit one of his sons with a stick, which resulted to a lot of bruises on his son’s legs, hands, buttocks and scrotum. The news has dominated sports discussion even when a lot of people has defended that it was just a form of discipline that he was implementing. Peterson also had apologized to his son and the public stating that his son the intention behind the alleged beating.
Last 2012, his then 2-year old son whom he never knew until a week before the child’s death was reportedly beaten by the mother’s boyfriend bringing a lot of pain to Peterson.
