Danko

Rick Danko is the 1977 eponymous debut by the bassist and singer for the Band. Featuring ten tracks written by Danko, usually in conjunction with lyricists Bobby Charles and Emmett Grogan, it was the first solo album by any member of the group and was Danko's only full-length solo studio album; The other two albums he released in his lifetime were live recordings. Rick Danko is the only solo album by a member of the Band to feature each member of the group, with Garth Hudson playing accordion on "New Mexico", Robbie Robertson playing lead guitar on "Java Blues", Richard Manuel playing electric piano on "Shake It" and Levon Helm singing harmony vocal on the closing track, "Once Upon a Time". Danko handled bass, rhythm and lead guitars and vocals. Other guests included Eric Clapton (guitar on "New Mexico"), Ronnie Wood (guitar on "What a Town"), Beach Boy and later Band member Blondie Chaplin (guitar and bass on various tracks) and Doug Sahm (guitar on various tracks).

With a style honed in the gritty blues bars of Chicago's South Side, the Butterfield Blues Band were instrumental in bringing the sound of authentic Chicago blues to a young white audience in the mid-'60s, and although they weren't a particularly huge commercial success, their influence has been enduring and pervasive.

The quartet was born from the partnership, which has lasted for several years, of two great artists: Gigi Di Gregorio, excellent saxophonist and composer from Turin, and Harold Danko, a famous American pianist and composer who played with jazz legends such as Chet Baker, Gerry Mulligan and Lee Konitz. The two musicians will be joined by Mauro Battisti on double bass and by Luigi Bonafede on drums. The concert will be held also in case of rain.

Professor Emeritus of Jazz Studies (Eastman College of Music, Univ. of Rochester) Harold Danko pays homage to Be Bop’s song-smith Duke Jordan here in an inaugural meeting with New York’s rising star cornetist Kirk Knuffke. Duke Jordan’s distinctive melodies receive Danko/Knuffke duo’s refined and creative reading and mingle naturally with their free tunes in between.

DANKO JONES hauen seit fast dreißig Jahren in die Saiten und beweisen mit ihrem elften Studioalbum "Electric Sounds", dass sie nach wie vor nichts an Männlichkeit, Geschmeidigkeit und Sex verloren haben.
