Ils ont dit...

[Ayler]

Mick Jagger and Brian Jones were playing at the Ealing Club, and Alexis asked us to play behind them for the interval. We weren't very happy, so we played complicated time things to throw Mick off the beat. He would lose it completely and Brian would have to get him back on. Mick Jagger got everything from him. The original sound of the Stones was Brian Jones leaping about and doing all the showmanship. Jagger just stood there at the microphone.

I never could stand the Stones. They were like a load of little kids trying to play black blues music and playing it very badly – but that's what people went for, because it was naive and banal. The lack of technique and musicianship was its appeal, from the start. It was extremely commercial, musically. The guitarist, Keith, sometimes has a go at Eric [Clapton]. but Eric is 150,000 times better a musician than he'll ever be. But because of their fame and fortune, they believe they're special.

Ginger Baker

Ah le Ginger... Il a dû se lever du pied gauche ce jour là !

Et que pense-t-il du Jimi Hendrix Experienced ? Un guitariste qui ne sait pas lire la musique, un bassiste qui n'en est pas un, et un batteur qui ne lui arrive pas à la cheville ?

En fait,le drame de Baker c'est de n'avoir toujours pas compris qu'il a marqué l'histoire du rock et pas du jazz. Sur l'Experience, il le décrit comme ça sur le dvd "Disraeli Gears": "C'est Jimi Hendrix avec une section rythmique pas en place derrière."
A cela s'ajoute une sacré mauvaise foi. Se dire jazzman et préférer Clapton à Hendrix, c'est un peu douteux.
