Last year Burt and Traincha performed together at the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Together they did "Falling Out Of Love" as a tribute to the late Aretha Franklin. After their performance Burt and Traincha talked about doing another album with newer songs of him. Burt said...

Hello Mark, great to read that everything is okay with you! Take care!
I am fine too but at the moment i am sick at home (flu) and because of the covid-19 it is not allowed to go at work.
But i feel much better now.

Kind regards,

Marcel

Burt will perform next month in Japan. But with the Coronna (COVD-19) now, will Burt still doing this performance? Lots of other artists are cancelling shows now!

Kind Regards,

Marcel

I Love it how Burt played his songs!

Kind Regards,

Marcel

I heard the song today and i like it very much. It is great to read the article from Burt how he talks about the development of this song. I is great too that Burt is working with younger songwriters. And for the young generation of songwriters it is a great way to know how a composer as Burt to wor...

Burt with his son Oliver IMG-20190712-WA0015.jpg Last Friday, Burt and his band performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands. It was great to see my music hero performing for the second time on this event. The last time, and for the first time that i saw him live, in 2009 he performed...

Dear Burt, Happy Birthday. You made a milestone. Not only in age but also in music! Wish you a happy birtday with your family!

We must not forget Hal. A truly gifted lyricist. Combined with the astonishing work of Burt Bacharach, the two has given us so many unforgetable songs!
And even today the music and lyrics of these two with What The World Needs Now is meaningfull and timeless!

Kind regards,

Marcel

The 2nd of November this year it was 40 yrs ago that the album Woman was produced. The album was far away ahead in the style that Burt was. Todat the album seems for me timeless.

What would you think about his instrumental work? Summer of `77 or Magdalena, Woman, Always taking Aim, Time and Tenderness and don`t forget Futures..what i want to say is that all his songs are very complex. Even the most easy song from him. However my personal way of thinking about complexity are ...
