Não tem jeito: músicos que se destacam sempre tiveram ótimas referências musicais. Quer ter a chance de se tornar um bom músico? Tenha bom gosto e aprenda a distinguir qualidade de quantidade (ou seria melhor, modismo?). Uma coisa é você gostar de uma música ou estilo musical, outra é a música ter qualidade. Gosto não se discute, agora boa música, hmmm…
Veja por exemplo quem foi uma grande inspiração para Phil Collins: Buddy Rich. Leia abaixo o que está escrito no encarte do cd da Phil Collins Big Band:
"It was 1966 when I first heard the Buddy Rich Swinging New Big Band. All the other things I was listening to at the time had to move over and make room for this wonderful noise I had discovered. I went searching for more and discovered Count Basie with Sonny Payne, Harold Jones and Jo Jones... then Duke Ellington and so many more. I decided that, one day, I'd have to have a go myself and form my own big band.
Thirty years later I did it. In 1996 I toured Europe with Quincy Jones conducting and Tony Bennett as our guest vocalist and my band. I was in Heaven.
Having dived in, I couldn't wait to do it again. In 1998 I took the band out again and toured the USA and Europe. We recorded some shows and the result is here to listen to. For me it's a labour of love. I'm back where I belong, behind the drums, playing music I'm proud of with some wonderful musicians. I hope it moves you as it does me. If it does, come and see us sometime.
Luv
Phil Collins”
