Miles And Memories

Description

The new album by Julian Sas, ‘Miles And Memories’, marks the guitarist's return to his favorite formation, that of the classic blues-rock trio – vocals/guitar, bass, and drums, with a greater emphasis on rock and a bit less on blues. When asked about his influences, Julian Sas replies: when I hear Jeff Beck play, it starts to make my fingers itch. He plays with such simplicity and at the same time with such fanaticism. Incredible. I am also a true fan of Jimi Hendrix. He has not yet been surpassed. Stevie Ray Vaughan? I think he’s a fantastic musician, but the difference between Jimi and him is that if you heard him every night, you would notice that there are only minor differences in his playing. Whereas Jimi could stumble on his strings one night and the next be so brilliant that you seriously considered selling all your gear. Jimi knew no limits. What he wanted to do with Miles Davis is fascinating. I am a true fan of Miles Davis. He is the Jimi of the jazz world. At 16, I saw Buddy Guy. He played with great dynamics. Dynamics, in my opinion, are one of the most important tools in music, like a quiet song with a strong bridge or a loud song with a very quiet bridge. And of course, Rory Gallagher, my biggest hero. I had the privilege and honor of playing with his band three times. The Allman Brothers are fantastic too. Once they start, there’s no stopping them. Just like with my band and me when we are on stage.
