JON LORD

My wife and I wish to respectfully send out condolences to the Lord family. News of the recent passing of Jon Lord has been met with sadness in our house. Reflecting upon his keyboard sounds, I must endorse how much he brought in originality and vision to the defining edge of Hard Rock. He is well-proven as a part of Rock's historical journey and will not be forgotten.

Thank you, Jon Lord. Rest in peace.

Jon a donné cette interview à Classic Rock une semaine avant sa disparition. A paraître dans le prochain mag, mais son auteur nous en dévoile quelques aspects.
Et si vous la chopez,la BBC 4 lui consacrera un tribute vendredi 20-avec parait-il quelques mots de Blackmore. Réécoutable en podcast
(les Anglais ont du goût, à part Georges Lang qui sait de quoi il cause, on a eu droit à rien du tout ici-sur les radio periphériques nationales je précise.

David Coverdale :

"As I type this I'm listening to Jon's classical music from his solo albums I've downloaded since his passing... Because we were out of touch for so long & involved in our individual lives & careers, I was unaware of so much of his more recent exceptional works... It is assisting me in processing the sense of loss of such a huge character & enormous inspiration from my life... I hope you can understand I felt it inappropriate to engage in our usual conversational interaction on the BBS & step back & just allow you to use the site as a memorial, or tribute to express your own feelings & thoughts of Jon & what he means to you... I am still somewhat uncomfortable posting as I see some of you proposing a tribute concert involving our former colleagues in both Purple & Whitesnake... Personally, I feel it appropriate & respectful to wait until we hear if his family wish to have a memorial concert before I respond, so I ask you respectfully not to engage me in possibilities until then... I have no doubt that with the healing passage of time that something wonderful will take place somewhere where we can all celebrate his extraordinary life & his many musical gifts to us, but, once again, let us be patient & await his families wishes before attempting to force any event on them... I will share with you, as I shared with my family, three personal memories of my initial introduction to Jon that involved his incredible warmth, patience & generosity that came immediately to my mind & for which I will be eternally grateful... My first encounter with Jon was as an opening act for the then early chapter of DP Mark 2 at Sheffield University... Jon came up to me after our show & was very complimentary about my singing & discreetly asked for my phone number... whispering " in case it doesn't work out with the new guy "... Ha Ha!... Of course, in those days, I was living at home with my parents & we never had a phone, so, I hastily gave him my address, shook hands & went out to watch some of their show before driving back to Teesside... Of course, it worked out beautifully & successfully with 'the new guy' as we all know, but, it didn't stop me rushing down to the front door every morning for months to see if he'd written to me... As you can imagine it was an indescribable boost for my morale at that time in my life... Sweet, sweet man... he knew how to elevate your spirit... He had poetry & rhetoric in abundance... I told Pagey that he would have loved working with Jon... The next time was at my actual audition for Purple in London in 1973... I was pretty nervous, of course, but, determined... I'd discreetly brought a bottle of Bell's whiskey that my friend, Roger, who had driven me to London had hidden from me..( which I found immediately & gave me cause to frequently slip away for quick nerve numbing shots... )... No one was more engaging, welcoming & calming to me than Jon Lord... He spoke to me so very kindly & encouraged me to the point where I must credit him for helping me relax & give a solid account of myself at the audition, God bless his cotton socks... The next example of Jon's amazing character was at Clearwell Castle in Gloucestershire where we had gone to work on songs for the 'Burn' album... Jon was going to be late, as he had business in London, so, Ritchie, Glenn & Ian started jamming immediately in the castle crypt... Amazing music... amazing musicians... I wandered in & out, not knowing what the hell to do as this was all so new & unknown territory for me... I found out later that Jon had called Ritchie to see how things were going & how I was fitting in... Ritchie said everything was fine, but, I hadn't sang anything yet... NERVES!!!... So, when Jon eventually arrived, he & I had a several snifters of some fine alcoholic beverage & walked down to the rehearsal room... & with him at his Hammond & me at the microphone I sang non stop for God knows how long... Beatles songs... jazz songs... blues riffs... Slowly, but, surely, the guys all came in & started playing along & suddenly I was a member of the best band in the world!!!... Thank you, Jon, with all my heart... I will never forget you & what you brought to my life... The many precious memories I will treasure forevermore... Bon Vivant... Raconteur... Musician & Gentleman Extraordinaire... Jon Lord... I salute you... XX"

"Alors que je suis en train de rédiger ce texte, je suis en train d'écouter l'oeuvre classique de Jon que je télécharge depuis le décès de Jon. Tout simplement parce que nous nous étions perdus de vue depuis si longtemps et nous étions investis dans nos vies et carrières respectives et que je n'étais pas au courant des travaux exceptionnels qu'il avait réalisés. Cela me confirme à quel point sa perte, il fut un personnage immense et une influence dans ma vie. J'espère que vous serez en mesure de comprendre qu'il m'a semblé déplacé d'intervenir via mails en me retirant et en vous permettant d'utiliser le site comme une sorte de mémorial pour rendre hommage rapidement et exprimer vos propres ressentis afin de dire ce qu'il représente pour vous. Là, je me sens encore mal à l'aise alors que j'en vois certains qui proposent déjà un concert-hommage qui réunirait mes anciens compagnons de Deep Purple et Whitesnake. Pour le moment, avant toute réponse de ma part, je crois qu'il est plus sage et respectueux d'attendre que sa famille souhaite une telle chose. Aussi, je vous demanderais de ne pas parler prochainement en mon nom. J'espère qu'une fois la phase de deuil passée, quelque chose d'exceptionnel se passera quelque part où nous pourrons célébrer sa vie, elle aussi, extraordinaire ainsi que l'héritage musical qu'il nous a laissés mais encore une fois, soyons patients et attendons la décision de sa famille sans avoir à forcer quoi que ce soit.

J'interromps ici la traduction car ensuite le Cov raconte en gros sa première rencontre avec Jon Lord.

En hommage à Jon Lord la 1ère chaine allemande (ARD) diffuse cette nuit (2h55>4h50) le concert de Deep Purple du 9 juillet 1985 au Palais Omnisports de Bercy:

Voici donc la dernière interview de Jon Lord :

Ce qui est quand même terrible dans le message de DC, si du moins cela se fait, c'est que pareil événement aussi tragique soit-il, POURRA PEUT-ETRE réunir la Purple Family...

Avec Neil Murray.

Une nouvelle version du Concerto For Group and Orchestra sera disponible le 25 septembre. Il a été enregistré aux studios d'Abbey Road avec la participation du Royal Philharmonic Orchestra de Liverpool et de Bruce Dickinson, Joe Bonamassa et Steve Morse.

Jon Lord‘s final studio work, a new version of his Concerto For Group and Orchestra, will be released on September 25. It was recorded in Abbey Road Studios and features the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic orchestra plus Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, Joe Bonamassa and Deep Purple guitarist Steve Morse. Lord, who died last month at 71, said of the album: “Over the years since leaving Deep Purple I’ve played it over 30 times, and in 2000 I did it well over 30 times with Purple on tour. I’ve been honing the piece. It’s a marvellous and exciting prospect to have the definitive recording of the definitive score.”

Les funérailles de Jon Lord ont eu lieu le 31 juillet :
