Neybron James

James Newton Howard was well-established as a keyboardist, songwriter, producer, and arranger in the realm of soft rock before he cemented his legacy as an A-list film and television composer during the '90s. Highlights of his rock resumé in the '70s and '80s had included touring and recording with Elton John and working on albums with the likes of Ringo Starr, Harry Nilsson, and Toto. After earning his first composing credit on the 1985 comedy Head Office, his first Academy Award nomination came with the 1991 drama The Prince of Tides. Known for delivering wistful chamber music, playful comedic fare, or alternatively ominous or high-octane orchestral music as called for, Howard became more and more in demand for the latter during the 2000s, due in part to his frequent collaborations with director M. Night Shyamalan.

Le James Brown funk c'est le James Brown qui ne se contente pas du langage R&B et surtout soul des 60's. La soul, ce médium positif, qui n'a pas coupé le cordon avec le gospel, et tente d'allier sophistication des arrangements et pop music (au vrai sens de musique populaire). Leurs génies même ne lui suffisent pas. Et contrairement à un Nat King Cole, James n'aspire pas à rentrer dans une case façonnée par les Blancs. Il sait très bien qu'à son apogée, LeRoi Jones écrira « James Brown est notre poète noir n°1 ». Mais avant de porter une telle armure, James Brown ne pouvait échapper au conte de fée que la bannière étoilée aime raconter à ses enfants les soirs d'hiver près de la cheminée. Ces histoires improbables d'un moins que rien langé dans les eaux anthracites des caniveaux des bleds pouilleux du sud de l'Amérique, qui se termine sur des affiches placardées en lettres de feu dans les plus grandes salles de concerts du territoire et du reste du monde.
