RUFUS WAINWRIGHT, Malaga Jazz Festival 2007, TVSpain.tv

RUFUS WAINWRIGHT, son of the folk singers Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, and brother of the also singer Martha Wainwright, Rufus was born in Rhinebeck, New York in 1973, although he grew up in Montreal, Canada. Much has been said and written about his stormy adolescence and his substance abuse problem and of the impossible loves that have marked his music, but nothing can tarnish a talent that seems destined to be up there with the greats. He's proud to imbibe the essence of artists like Scott Walker, Jacques Brel or Edith Piaf on albums such as Rufus Wainwright (98) --Best New Artist in Rolling Stone Magazine -, Poses (01), Want one (03) or Want two (04), which all display a talent not common these days. Along with French songs, his influences include opera, musicals and cabaret. Excessive, ironic, baroque... Rufus, who adores Franz Schubert and Judy Garland equally, has also worked on soundtracks for films like The Aviator, The Diary of Bridget Jones, I am Sam, Zoolander, Shrek and Moulin Rouge, to name but a few. On Release the stars, his fifth album, with its status as a classic already guaranteed, he has once again proved that as well as a composer and an incredible performer, he's the best in melodramatic pop. All his new songs continue to ooze both opulence and intimacy, and the contrasts of an artist who is possibly more theatrical than musical. The Malaga concert features: RUFUS WAINWRIGHT -- acoustic guitar, piano and vocals, JEFF HILL -- bass, CARMEN GREIDER -- electric and acoustic guitar and banjo, WILL VINSON -- sax and flute, CJ CAMERIERI -- trompeta, LOUIS SCHWADRON -- trumpet, GERRY LEONARD -- electric guitar, MATT JOHNSON -- drums.
