You remember when you were in school and a rumour started with just a couple of you and by the end of the day a couple of hundred were talking about it. Jason Mraz over the years has had a chinese whisper affect on his musical career as one chance spotting at a Tracy Chapman, James Blunt or one of his own gigs has resulted in fans dragging along bus loads for his next show in town. To call Mraz a mere singer-songwriter is selling him short, sure he sings and writes the songs, but there's an entertainment factor that most singer-songwriter's lack. With long-term sparring partner Toca along for the ride they live up to the straight man / funny man of comedy's dropping out one liners in between songs as well as karaoke versions of Madness and Bob Marley alongside choice cuts for "Mr A-Z" and "Waiting For My Rocket To Come." Designer Magazine's Alex McCann caught up with Mraz to find out how his next album will be ditching the pop and going back to his acoustic roots.
Q: Designer Magazine have seen you step by step as you've played the smaller Academy 3 and Late Room venues, but just last week in Manchester you played the larger theatre venues with James Blunt. How did that go for you? A: I think the only thing that really ever affects a show is time. Three years ago I had really high expectations about everything, I was precious about everything and really nervous. Now i'm quite comfortable and it's all about the moment so when we go up on stage what we play very much depends on our mood on the day and the crowd reaction to it. We don't ever do setlists, the only thing we ever agree on is what song we're going to play first and we take it from there.
Q: How did the audiences react to you because on the time we've seen you previously Jason Mraz has just been a little secret and now with these James Blunt supports the audience must be really spreading a lot wider A: I guess that's time as well. We've had another record and a lot has spread through the internet and the promotion. The shows are still quite intimate though. I've tried to keep it so that it does spread by word of mouth rather than being pushed in people's faces all the time. And as well when I do too much promo and im pushed in people's faces I start to get uninterested in it all and I start to not care about what I do and I find it zaps my creative energy.
Like when I did the James Blunt tour for example, they were supposed to make this banner that said "Jason Mraz" and it was supposed to be quite small so it would hang just over my right shoulder like a little thought bubble on the backdrop, as if to say everything that we're saying on stage tonight is an expression of Jason Mraz. But they screwed it up and made it as big as they could possibly make it. So I walk on stage and there's this giant name, it wasn't in a speech bubble and it was just in a giant oval, and it affected my performance. I hated it. I hated knowing that there was this huge promotional thing sitting behind me. I actually made them take it down after one or two songs because it was seriously affecting the way I feel.
Q: The audience must have been strange though because they're traditionally the sort of fans that buy one album a year A: That's what they say. It was fun though. The way I look at that and the way I look at any show really is we've got a gig and whether we've got 20 minutes or 2 hours we go out there to entertain, whether that's James Blunt fans, Tracy Chapman fans or my own fans. There's always going to be one fan that loves it and one fan that's bored so I try not to think about how I'm going to win this crowd or how many CDs i'm gonna sell or what chart position i'm gonna go in at. That shit is just boring.
Q: "Mr A-Z" is out now. How did you start off with the concept for that because to me it sounds more like a complete album, a more cohesive album, than the debut? A: The first album sounded individual because it was written over a scattered period. This time I wrote it all in about a 6 month period so all the songs can definitely be related to each other. But to be honest I still really didn't come up with a concept, I didn't write it saying this album is going to be about this and it's going to feel like this. I just took this 6 months worth of writing and chose my favourite songs out of it and did our best to produce it. Each track we did different versions of because at the moment i'm still working out how to make records. I'm learning though and I think another album or two and i'll finally have it figured out.

Q: You collaborated with Ainslie Henderson on the album. How did you hook up with him? A: I met Ainslie years ago in the States. He had a band called Suburbia and he was demo-ing some tracks with a friend of mine. I met those guys and they were great, they used to come to my shows and we became really good friends. So the first time I came over here Ainslie was the only guy I really knew in London. Over the past few years he's just come over to the United States to travel and what not. This was way before the Fame Academy thing.
He actually didn't want to have anything to do with the song, but he couldn't help it because he was guilty by association. We were writing the song when Ainslie was staying and he'd walk into the room and say "How about making love on economy" and he'd keep walking in with different lines. So when it was all done he was like I don't want to be associate in anyway. I was like screw you dude, your names going on there.
I'm gonna find out what he's doing tomorrow when I go to see him. He's up in Edinburgh continuing his writing and taking time to figure it out. I think that's a noble thing to do. I think my album would be better if I could spent more time, but I always like to make an album and then put it out. Sometimes i'd just like to sit down and really think clearly and work out what I really really wanna do.
Q: Do you feel with your albums you recorded them and then moved on by the time you've got round to touring them? A Oh yeah, definitely. By the time you've got round to recording them the songs were written in this era, recorded in this era and then by the time you're out on the road you're thinking about the next album. It's weird to have people shouting "You're the Geek In The Pink" and play this and play that. It's like they're over man.
Q: I think we asked this last time, but i'm interested to know whether your perception has changed. Do you see yourself as a singer-songwriter, an artist or an entertainer? A: I like to think of myself as an artist you know. Some days I like to think of myself as a writer, but then i'm a performer as well. I used to go to musical theatre but that entertainment aspect of the show isn't because I want to bring in some musical theatre, I get the audience involved because I hate going to shows where the audience isn't included. I really hate those singer-songwriters where all they'll do is tell you what the song is about, it's like f**k you I don't wanna know what the song is about, I have my own idea of what the song is about. When I started doing my shows I couldn't help but involve the audience because we're all in this together.
Q: Is it harder on the bigger shows like tonight, trying to interact with the people at the back and at the sides? A: It can be. But just when I think it's harder, we did a show in Ireland a couple of days ago and it just seemed to be so easy to capture all the people. I don't know why, maybe it was just one of those nights, because sometime it is harder. It all depends on the day really and how willing people are to accept you.
Q: "Geek In The Pink" has been a major breakthrough for you in the US. It's the next single here - tell our readers about it? A: It's a song to celebrate who you are. In my case it was my inner awkwardness. I always felt small and less fit than your typical dude and never was as aggro as your typical rapper. I just always felt like a geek, but at the same time I still felt pretty cool, so I thought i'd write a song that made be feel cool about being a geek. It's just a fun song really, nothing more than that.
Q: That's the thing, you never take yourself "too" seriously A: But I do. I really do. I wouldn't be here having this chat if I wasn't serious about it.
Q: Have you got an idea of where you want to go in the future....the 3rd studio album? A: It's going to be acoustic because that's the writing process i'm in now. When I got signed to Elektra 3 or 4 years ago I was an acoustic act and I spend about a year and half writing songs and then the first album came out and it was pop. And because it was so successful I kinda got stuck with this whole pop thing for a while and I learnt how to do that you know. I learnt the process of how to do that so I made another record that was also pop but I felt was a little bit more dirty. Now I feel it's time to go back and get some perspective of where I was at as an acoustic act. I think now having the years of experience I think i'm not ready to make an acoustic album, cos had I made an acoustic album 3 years ago I don't think everything would have been right or ready.
Q: So is the acoustic album just going to be you and Toca? A: Well no. It will definitely feature more Toca than the other albums, but it's all dependent on the songs. If it calls for light percussion, piano or strings then I still want to be able to do that. But I don't want to clutter the album with keyboards or electric guitars. I want to strip it down to the bare basics and let the song do the work.
Q: Lyrically will it be more serious or will it still contain the fun elements? A: I think there will always be that fun element. I can't get away from that
Q: Cos live it just is you and Toca and the interplay between you? A: If there was a way I could capture that on a record I would. Hopefully one day we will

Here’s to Ben - Jacintha Here's To Ben là album đầu tay của giọng ca vàng Jacintha (tên thật là Jacintha Abisheganaden) thực hiện tại GrooveNote - cũng là một hãng ghi âm mới toanh. Ðến từ đất nước Singapore nhưng tên tuổi của Jacintha từ lâu đã vượt ra khỏi khuôn khổ quá nhỏ bé của đảo quốc sư tử để đến với người yêu jazz trên toàn châu á và châu Âu. Here's To Ben, chỉ cần nghe qua cái tên cũng đủ để một dân sành nhạc hình dung được nội dung của album: đó là sự vinh danh của lớp hậu sinh dành cho tay kèn saxophone Ben Webster - một trong những cây đại thụ của làng nhạc jazz thế giới. Tất cả các ca khúc mà Jacintha lựa chọn để trình bày trong Here’s To Ben đều là những bản jazz kinh điển, một số trong đó được phối khí và chơi lại theo phong cách ballad. Và không có gì phải bàn cãi nhiều về chất giọng của Jacintha. Nó đầy hấp lực, dường như biết cách làm cho người nghe tan chảy ra, hoà mình vào bản nhạc lúc nào không hay. Nghe Jacintha hát, có cảm giác như cô dành trọn cả trái tim cho người nghe vậy. Còn một điểm nữa không thể không nói tới, đó là Jacintha phát âm tiếng Anh cực chuẩn, và nếu bạn không có một đôi tai thật tinh tế, khó mà đoán được người hát lại sinh ra và lớn lên tại một quốc gia mà tiếng Anh không phải là ngôn ngữ mẹ đẻ. Jacintha hát Georgia On My Mind thật đặc biệt, nhẹ nhàng, mượt mà, đằm thắm, không có chút gai góc, đay nghiến như Billie Holiday, cũng chẳng ề à như Chantal Chambeland. Còn với The Look of Love, thật khó mà so sánh giữa Dusty Springfield, Diana Krall hay Jacintha, người nào hát hay hơn người nào. Và không ai có thể quên được bản Danny Boy dài hơn 7 phút, khi mà Jacintha hát mộc, không một nhạc cụ đệm. Ðó mới là lúc chất giọng tuyệt vời của cô được thể hiện rõ ràng nhất, cùng với phong cách xử lý cực kỳ điêu luyện. Cũng không thể bỏ qua phần nhạc đệm thật xuất sắc với sự hiện diện của tay kèn terno sax Teddy Edwards - người đã từng ghi âm nhiều album với huyền thoại Billie Holiday - thần tượng của Jacintha. Ngoài ra còn có quái kiệt piano Kei Akagi, tay kèn trumpet Larance Marable và tay bass Darek Oles. Tất cả bọn họ, bằng tài năng của mình đã làm đẹp thêm giọng hát của Jacintha. Nếu bạn là một người nghe jazz sành sỏi, đã từng thích Billie Holiday, Stacey Kent, Patricia Barber, Cassandra Wilson, Diana Krall, chắc chắn bạn sẽ thích Jacintha. Nếu bạn là người mới nghe jazz, hãy dành nhiều thời gian cho Here's To Ben, chắc chắn bạn sẽ tìm thấy thêm nhiều điều thú vị trong album này.

Petite Note-Cafe, coffee,
Khép mình trong một hẻm nhỏ trên đường Lê Văn Sỹ, Q.3, Petite note (Nốt hoa mỹ) được nhiều tín đồ café biết đến với một không gian café thể hiện “chất” mỹ thuật tinh tế mà các hiện vật tạo nên nó đã được dày công trau chuốt.
Một không gian nhẹ nhàng, thanh thoát. Dường như có sự uyển chuyển của những tiết tấu âm nhạc đến từng góc cạnh của không gian. Ở đó có những góc thư thái riêng mà có thể mọi hành động, mọi cái “thì thầm” nhè nhẹ xung quanh cũng làm tăng thêm vẻ tĩnh tại của khung vật. Trong ánh sáng lờ mờ làm nên vẻ ấm cúng và thân thiện, Petite note hiện lên những đường nét thiết kế “nổi” trên gam màu trắng chủ đạo. Những giá sách được treo ngăn nắp, những bức tranh của các ca sĩ, nhạc sĩ nổi tiếng thế giới, những miếng giấy báo vụn vặt được cắt gián tỉ mỷ trên trần nhà, góc cột tạo nên điểm nhấn cho không gian. Vài nét hoa văn trên những chụp đèn cũng để cho nó toát ra ánh sáng lung linh hơn…
Có lẻ rằng “nốt hoa mỹ” làm nên ý nghĩa mà người thiết kế ra quán muốn thể hiện rõ nhất đó chính là một sân khấu nhỏ ở tầng một. Đó là món quà dành tặng cho những tâm hồn đam mê các ca khúc bất hủ bằng tiếng Anh của Eric Clapton,Whitney Houston… và thưởng thức những buổi hoà tấu Piano, nhạc Jazz đặc sắc vào các tối thứ 6, 7, CN hàng tuần. Một “đêm nhạc trong tháng” là sự hội tụ, sự kết tinh tất cả “linh hồn” âm nhạc của Nốt hoa mỹ được tổ chức định kỳ vào giữa tháng hoặc cuối tháng.
Petite note có hệ thống wifi, phòng lạnh dành cho những ai muốn tìm một không gian để làm việc, hay một không gian sân vườn bên ngoài với nhiều cây xanh, dây leo và hồ nước sẽ là điểm đến cho những ai thích nhâm nhi café trong một khung cảnh trong lành, dịu mát. Những món ngon như cá rô kho tộ, gà ram sả ớt, nấm rơm – bào ngư kho tiêu, mực xào chua ngọt… cho thực đơn cơm trưa văn phòng cũng là sự hấp dẫn đối với nhiều thực khách khi đến Petite note.

The reason I do photographs is to help people understand my music, so it'svery important that I am the same, emotionally, in the photographs as in themusic. Most people's eyes are much better developed than their ears. If theysee a certain emotion in the photograph, then they'll understand the music."
Björk, Index Magazine, july 2001
