Pop in Paradiso and De Tempel Humble Pie most interesting at weekend festival

Thanks to the jazz and pop festival in Bilzen (Belgium) and thanks to the private initiative of organizer Cyril van den Hemel, the Netherlands will also have its own pop festival. As already announced, Paradieo in Amsterdam and De Tempel in Rotterdam are Friday, Saturday and Sunday the centers where (for ƒ 7.50 per evening) very contemporary English and Dutch pop sounds can be heard. The Rotterdam Temple (the former Joseph Church; pop seems to thrive very well in the former almshouse — see Paradiso) is, after the old Rotterdam custom, completely a private enterprise. Unlike Paradiso, for example, De Tempel does not receive a municipal subsidy. This coming weekend's festival will be the opening event for De Tempel.

Of the groups that perform, HUMBLE PIE is the most interesting. This group of Steve Marriott (ex-Small Faces), who has already received the qualification "supergroup" from English music magazines, will perform live for the first time. -In England their first LP (As Safe As Yesterday Is ) has been released, which is not yet available in the Netherlands. However, their first single Natural Bom Bugie is for sale here. The group is called "Supergroup" according to the English music magazines, because Humble Pie is a combination of musicians who used to play in renowned British groups. played a leading role. For example, alongside Stevp Marriott, Peter Frampton (ex-Herd) and Greg Ridley (ex-Spooky Tooth) play in Humble Pie. To complete it a fairly unknown drummer with

the name Jerry Shirly. The music that can be heard on their first LP is not free of The Band influences, so that in Paradiso and De Tempel we can listen to (let's give it a name) a kind of country rock by people who of course have no form a supergroup, but probably make very fine pop. Trinity without Jools • Another group that is going to try out a new formation “in the province” is BRIAN AUGER'S TRINITY. July Driscoll has left Trinity since last week and Brian Auger has added his former guitarist Gary Boyle (further consisting of Dave Ambrose, bass and Clive Thacker, drums) added

When the Trinity arrives in the Netherlands, the group has already been able to practice in Spain for two weeks. The vocals in particular were a big problem after Jools disappeared, but Auger hopes to solve this problem by doing a lot of harmony vocals (Brian, Gary and Dave). A very musically gifted man, by the way, that Brian Auger. After years of playing on his organ (after of course being influenced by Jimmy Smith) he started to play a very own style, a style that ensured that Brian attracted attention in the jazz world. With Don Ellis, Auger has just finished recording a movie soundtrack, is (again with Don Ellis) working on The Equator Suit, which is about to be released, and is going to record with Roland Kirk in America. (The appearance of a third new formation, the group YES, probably won't happen. A pity, because this jazzy-pop group, whose LP has just been released in the Netherlands, promises a lot. Especially during the farewell concert of The Oream, the audience was filled with an almost ecstatic enthusiasm during the performance of Yes . No surprise, but very de

worthwhile, promises to be THE BONZO DOG BAND performance. This group, which always provides an hour of Laughing Vultures Roaring, became widely known for performing (an unforgettable Elvis Presley impersonation) on The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour. That the group could do something else than imitate, was evident from their LP'g Gorilla and The Doughnut In Oranny's Greenhouse. In between the acts they also deal with (for example) the Dixieland, the Soul, the White Blues and people like Frank Sinatra. A performance by the group is an unforgettable experience. Armed with many instruments, props and smoke bombs, they put on a captivating act that will be over before you know it. Highly recommended, to speak with a Hawaii weekly newspaper. Little can be said about the other groups. DEEP PURPLE is a good rook group with a classically trained (but not so explicit) organist (Jon Lor4). A group that has already had a few hits. It can be said of the BLOSSOM TOES that they have a bluesy repertoire, which is produced on the records

by Georgio Gomelsky (of the Marmalade and Brian Auger's Trinity). The AYNSLEY DUNBAR RETALLIATION is the successful group of drummer Aynsley Dunbar, best known for his work in John Mayall's group, when Eric Clapton and Peter Green proved so promising. whether this English/American group indeed makes music that is reminiscent of the music of the Jethro Tuil group. EIRE APPARENT is an Irish group, which I remember from an (excellent) performance at the Flight in Utrecht. Dutch To complete, the Dutch groups GEORGE CASH (who recently released a rather remarkable album), EKSEPTION (from "De Vijfde") and the DREAM, and finally the "folksimger" Ferre Grignard from Belgium. For the record, the right dates with the right groups: PARADISO* Vrfldag r Blossom Toes, Bonzo Dog Band and George Cash;| Saturday: Humble Pie, Ferre Grignard, Aynsley Dunbar Retallation and Ekseptionj Sunday i Deep Purple,Yes (T), Brian Auger's Trinity, Steamhammer and Elre Apparent, THE TEMPLE.

Palace Pop Festival
What was good came back in Paradiso

Unpleasant for Rotterdam but nice to Amsterdam that the Rotterdam half of the Jazz Bilzen shadow festival could not go through, but as the firefighter rejected the temple (former Joseph church) on Friday just before the start of the three-day pop celebration Number of groups will be nothing but two instead of once in Paradiso.

So it could happen that Sundays alone Brian Auger's Trinity was new to the program that counted six more or less good groups. Steamhammer, and Eire Apparent, were already praised in this paper for their first performance on Saturday, they could do it again. The Bonzo Dog Band made a great deal on the second occasion by dropping out more attributes but making music. Especially the closing of their almost identical act was now significantly better, just because there was now time for a saxophone solo. Deep Purple and Humble Pie returned yesterday on successful Saturday performances. Deep Purple then saw a stormy cheering with music that looked very spectacular but had little to say. Giving a guitar apart is of course nice, but if it only involves demonstrating the possibilities it will soon become more a matter for representatives. Deep Purple's organizer, too, was very angry, trying to do too much too quickly, so that after a driving hunt over the keys nothing left behind. Pop music seems to be a matter for the disciplined discipline right now because of the unprecedented technical possibilities of volume and distortion.

Listening to the humble pie so enjoyable Steve Marriott (exSmall Faces), Peter Frampton (ex-Herd), Greg Ridley (ex-Spooky Tooth) and Jelly Shirly, rightly presented as a new supergroup, played solid music without even destroying a second uncontrollable movie. . The Pie also performs well-groomed vocal work - there is no lead singer, the gentlemen complement each other in turn -% of which is also a friendly repertoire with a lot of "countryblues." Not as angular as The Band it plays - although the organ Of the Pie sometimes refers to that group, but a bit less clear of tone and rhythm. In addition to country-like work, Humble Pie played with unforgettable rock and roll, including Eddie Cochrens Hallelujah, I just lover so and their own Natural Born Bugie product. Brian Auger, who played a lot of music and played a great role in his instrument, would also be captivating without Julie Driscoll if he did not make such cheating music Auger lets his three coaches knit the same pattern for 10 minutes so that every change he puts in him instantly brings him to the Great Tension crew makes. A rather easy-going musical that quickly dumpes.

Only in the last song of the Trinity New Style was the medium tempo and the repetitive effect broken, which resulted in a messy but in any case fascinating piece of music. Rest to mention that Aynsley Dunbar played a solid blues with his Retalliaton on Saturday and that Ferre Grignard, the Ekseption and Yes did not appear. What remained was still quite high. It would be nice if the contracts concluded by Bilzen could be used next year, but it would be even better if they could hear it in Rotterdam as well. TEF

Slot popfestival Wat goed was kwam terug in Paradiso
Onplezierig voor Rotterdam maar prettig voor Amsterdam dat de Rotterdamse helft van het schaduwfestival van Jazz Bilzen niet door kon gaan, maar aangezien de brandweer pas vrijdag, vlak voor het begin van het driedaagse popgebeuren, de Tempel (de voormalige Josephkerk) afkeurde zat er voor een aantal groepen niets anders op dan maar twee in plaats van één keer in Paradiso te spelen.
Zo kon het gebeuren dat zondag alleen Brian Augers T r i n i t y nieuw was op het programma dat zes min of meer goede groepen telde. Stcamhammer, en Eire App a r e n t , zaterdag al in deze krant geprezen voor hun eerste optreden, mochten het nog eens over doen. De Bonzo Dog Band maakte bij de tweede gelegenheid veel goed door wat nreer attributen achterwege te laten maar wel muziek te maken. Vooral het slot van hun vrijwel identieke act was nu beduidend beter en dat alleen omdat er nu wel tijd gemaakt werd voor een saxofoonsolo. Deep Purple en Humble Pie kwamen gisteren terug op succesrijke optredens van zaterdag. Deep Purple oogstte toen een stormachtig gejuich met muziek die er zeer spectaculair uitzag maar weinig te zeggen had. Een gitaar uit elkaar trekken is natuurlijk wel aardig maar als het daarbij alleen gaat om het demonstreren van de mogelijkheden wordt het gauw meer een aangelegenheid voor vertegenwoordigers. Ook de organist van Deep Purple (overigens een heel goede) laboreerde nogal aan de kwaal om te snel te veel te gelijk te willen doen, zodat na een drijfjacht over de toetsen niets achterbleef. Popmuziek lijkt door de ongekende technische mogelijkheden op volume- en vervormingsgebied juist een zaak te worden voor mensen met discipline en die discipline juist nu maakte het
luisteren naar de Humble Pie zo aangenaam. Steve Marriott (exSmall Faces), Peter Frampton (ex-Herd), Greg Ridley (ex-Spooky Tooth) en Jelly Shirly, toch wel terecht geafficheerd als een nieuwe supergroup, speelden stevige muziek zonder echter maar een seconde onbeheerst ins blaue hinein te verdwijnen. De Pie doet bovendien aan zeer verzorgd vocaal werk — er is geen leadzanger, de heren vullen elkaar beurtelings aan — % wijl bovendien sprake is van ^een vriendelijk repertoire met veel „countryblues". Niet zo hoekig als The Band het speelt — hoewel het orgel van de Pie soms wel naar die groep verwijst maar wat losser van toon en ritme. Behalve country-achtig werk speelde Humble Pie met zichtbaar genoegen onvervalste rock and roll, o.a. in Eddie Cochrens Hallelujah I just lover so en hun eigen produkt Natural Born Bugie. Uitstekende groep die danig verraste, zo onder meer met een compositie voor twee orgels en een gitaar. Over orgels gesproken, Brian Auger viel gisteravond nogal tegen. Hij beheerst zijn instrument geweldig en zou ook zonder Julie Driscoll lang achtereen boeien als hij niet zulke bedriegersmuziek maakte. Auger laat zijn drie begeleiders tien minuten lang hetzelfde patroontje breien zodat iedere verandering die hij er in aanbrengt hem ogenblikkelijk tot de Grote Spanningkweker maakt. Een nogal gemakzuchtig musiceren dat bovendien snel afstompt.
Alleen in het laatste nummer van de Trinity Nieuwe Stijl werd het mediumtempo en het herhalingseffect verbroken wat een rommelig maar in elk geval boeiend stuk muziek opleverde. Rest te vermelden dat Aynsley Dunbar zaterdag met zijn Retalliaton een stevige blues speelde en dat Ferre Grignard, de Ekseption en Yes niet verschenen. Wat overbleef was overigens nog van behoorlijk hoog niveau. Het zou aardig zijn als ook volgend jaar gebruik gemaakt kan worden van de contracten die Bilzen afsluit maar het zou nog aardiger zijn als ze het in Rotterdam ook allemaal konden horen. TEF
