Carl Liungman - Change
(•)> What was the name of the bar where you used to play the piano and which songs did you used to play there?
I played at different places. At a restaurant called No.5 in the Swedish town Lund, famous for its old university. I also played at a café in a shopping mall where the grand piano could be heard in all of the mall. I often played jazz standards like As Time Goes By, Misty and Autumn Leaves. I also played a lot of my own original songs.
(•)> What jazz record would you recommend me to listen to?
Check out the Swedish pianist Esbjörn Svenssons last solo piano album HOME.S. Wonderful simplicity in his music.
(•)> Is music History exciting?
Yes!
(•)> Do you still have shaky hands when playing the piano?
Yes, sometimes I feel nervous, but not at all as it could be when I was younger.
(•)> Why are the 90s the best decade for music?
Because of the mixture of styles and great melodic pop songs and jazz and post modern classical music. The music artists back then, wow!
(•)> What great song from the 70s do you listen to often?
I can’t mention one song only. But if I must I would say Keith Jarrett’s The Köln Concert.
(•)> What's your favorite film from 2024?
Haven’t seen many 2024 movies, but I will say that Woody Allen’s Coup De Chance was okay.
(•)> What artist is underrated? And overrated?
Hard to say. For example I think that we should talk more about how great the songs by The Doors are. We talk a lot about David Bowie and other great artists of that time, but more seldom about The Doors, a genious band. Overrated artist? Well that would be mean to point out. But for me Madonna is not as good as her star status tells us.
(•)> What's your most controversial music opinion?
I believe we have reached the peak of pop song making and from now on we only write the same songs over and over again due to the lack of tone material and harmonic chord combinations in the diatonic scale system.
(•)> Do you agree with the Pigeon?
Well, I don’t know what to agree on? If it is about your mission to promote underground music I agree! 😊
