White was self-taught on drums and he largely started his career on top, playing regularly with Jackie McLean (1968)  and recording "Bitches Brew" with Miles Davis in 1969..As a member of Return To Forever during 1973-76, White gained a strong reputation as one of the top fusion drummers, but he was always versatile enough to play in many settings. After the breakup of RTF, Lenny White headed several fusion projects but none of the recordings  have dated well at all, emphasizing commercial funk. However his work with the Echoes Of An Era and Griffith Park all-star groups were been more successful and he has been a valuable sideman for a wide variety of projects. ! Energized by the success of l RETURN TO FOREVER 30-Year Reunion, Lenny White was anxious to introduce his next-generation PRESENT TENSE band to the same enthusiastic RTF audience that had filled concert halls around the world.Lenny formed the original PRESENT TENSE in 1995, a band able to deliver Lenny’s eclectic musical message. After his beginning with Miles Davis (“Bitches Brew”), Freddie Hubbard (“Red Clay”), and RETURN TO FOREVER as an important founding father of “Fusion,” Lenny  formed PRESENT TENSE with a mind that his musical exploration was still in its infancy. The first self-titled record included elements pulled from Lenny’s entire career, but moved forward into Hard Rock, Modern Hip-Hop, and even what could be described as Heavy Metal. Today, the exploration continues with Lenny’s new PRESENT TENSE, another band of younger, well-educated players who understand the complexities of Jazz, but who still have the open-minded abandon to follow Lenny’s quick-to-change-direction musical lead. ************************************************Sam/Sat  18/04   21h00     12 Euros      Eric  CLAPTON MusicTribute to ERIC CLAPTON       by  KLAEPTN (D)  On ne s’embarque pas dans un tel challenge si on n’a pas les qualités necessaires… et, visiblement,  y en a ! http://www.klaeptn-blaubaer.de/Welcome.html ************************************************Dim/Sun 19/04   18h30     14 Euros     Space ProgQUANTUM FANTAY (B)                 + Also Eden (Uk) Un de nos très rares groupes belges qui peut s’exporter sans crainte http://www.quantum-fantay.com/http://www.myspace.com/quantumfantayhttp://www.musicinbelgium....mp;id=2077http://www.progresiste.co....efault.htm http://www.alsoeden.com/http://www.myspace.com/alsoeden QUANTUM FANTAY plays a kind of music they like to describe as liquid space rock. If this discription sounds unfamiliar maybe the name of OZRIC TENTACLES does ring a bell. But QF is a lot more than just a clone of OZRIC. Their music is sounding like a mixture of progressive rock, electronic music, groove, world music and most of all psychedelic rock, it also contains elements of reggae and dub.          + support : Also Eden ************************************************Lun/Mon  20/04   20h00     14 Euros     Chicago BluesMISSISSIPPI HEAT (USA)Fantastique !TRADITIONAL BLUES WITH A UNIQUE SOUND  featuring Pierre LACOCQUE on harp Inetta VISOR on vocals Carl WEATHERSBY on guitar !Etc… Some of their recordings have won awards such as       "BEST CHICAGO BLUES CD OF THE YEAR" &  «BEST BLUES PRODUCTION OF THE YEAR » http://profile.myspace.co....D=85291153http://www.willingprod.com/fiche_artiste.php?id=52http://www.gazettegreenwo....piheat.htmhttp://abcbluesandsoul.com/mississippiheat.aspx http://video.google.fr/vi....&emb=0 Le groupe mythique de Chicago revient  en Europe, avec dans ses bagages un nouvel album "Hattiesburg Blues"  déjà encensé par les critiques outre atlantique.  Toujours aussi bien drivé par l'inaltérable harmoniciste Pierre Lacocque, on retrouvera avec grand plaisir le talentueux guitariste et chanteur Carl Weathersby, invité du groupe sur cette tournée ainsi que , bien entendu, la  s diva du South Side  Inetta Visor, Stephen Howard à la basse et  l'un des tout meilleurs batteurs de blues du moment, Kenny Smith -- tout juste trente quatre ans !
