Nel gennaio 2024 il celebre gruppo ungherese DJABE e STEVE HACKETT hanno preso parte al festival BodØ Jazz Open in Norvegia, cento chilometri sopra il Circolo Polare Artico.
Djabe e Steve Hackett hanno suonato un concerto allo Svömmehallen Scene e Djabe ne hanno suonato un altro al Dama Di il giorno dopo. Hanno anche registrato un nuovo album in studio durante il loro soggiorno artico.
Come per il loro precedente album ‘The Sardinia Tapes’, questo nuovo album presenta musica ispirata all’ambiente in cui è stato realizzato e nata da una serie di jam session registrate durante i loro concerti.
Il chitarrista dei Djabe Attila Égerházi dichiara:
“L’intero soggiorno e la musica registrata sono stati straordinari e magici”.
L’uscita include anche un disco Blu-ray bonus senza limiti di regione con un mix audio surround 5.1 dell’album, insieme a contenuti audio e video bonus tra cui materiale live registrato in Norvegia nel gennaio 2024 e in Ungheria nel 2023, insieme al documentario Arctic Jam.
In occasione dei suoi 70 anni, Steve ha concesso a Horizons Radio un’intervista, in cui traccia un bilancio della sua vita artistica e non solo.
Intervista di SaimonP. & D.B.:
HR: Siamo molto entusiasti della tua autobiografia in uscita il 24 luglio 2020. Di solito si dice che scrivere la propria autobiografia è un processo molto intimo e introspettivo, oltre che terapeutico. Cosa ti ha spinto a scriverla e quanto è stato difficile?
Steve Hackett: Volevo poter condividere le mie esperienze, i miei pensieri e i miei sentimenti…
Il primo disco: nel 1970 pubblica un album intitolato The Road come membro dei Quiet World, un gruppo in cui suona anche suo fratello, John Hackett, al flauto. Ecco l’audio:
La svolta: in cerca di una nuova band, Hackett pubblica un annuncio sulla rivista Melody Maker:
