Product description

Limited 26 CD box set. For over 50 years, Jan Akkerman has been one of Holland's most respected guitarists. In addition to his leading role in the globally-acclaimed bands Focus and Brainbox, he has also worked with the likes of B.B. King, Charlie Byrd, Cozy Powell, Claus Ogerman and Ice-T. On his solo projects, Akkerman let his creativity run free, combining rock, jazz, blues, classics and dance in his own distinctive style. This box set brings together all of Jan Akkerman's studio albums, his most important live recordings, his personal selection of Focus tracks and a CD of rare and previously unreleased tracks. In other words, the legacy of a singular and ground-breaking artist.

Guitarist with great ability and talent.

Top guitarist. Loved his work with Focus and now Solo. Most of the material is not that well known. Makes a great listening experience. What he needs is a few big sellers to boost interest in his work. As guitarist, second to none.

Great variety stylistically. Sound quality is ok, not fantastic. The albums are all here for a good price

INCROYABLE TRESOR (de pièces sonnantes 70's!).

Reviewed in France on 21 April 2020

Je l'ai eu pour moins que cela...
... mais ça vaut toujours le coût.

Adressé aux biberonnés qui se torchent encore aux Seventies :
COUREZ !!!,
avant de trébucher...

(Une image bien sûr, mauvaise même..,. s'il faut se lever, ce n'est pas du coude...
mais avec plus de vingt CD en boîte, comment peut-on parler de modération ?!).

Le groupe "Focus" vous connaissez, avec Akkerman comme co-Leader et Front-Man de la première Heure...
(Jeter un oeil sur Focus Box Set – 50 Years Anthology 1970 – 1976, aussi réalisé et restauré par la même équipe, Wouter Bessels entre autres...)
Une relative maigre discographie à côté...
Sauf que là, consolation !, c'est "post-Focus" avec un Akkerman prolifique, le tout accompagné ou en solo !
Ses cordes seventies en première ligne.

Mais attention, ne pas se méprendre, Akkerman est plus qu'un "guitar-héros" sans âme !...
Il s'agit là, comme dans "Focus" premières générations, de finesse et d'émotion, sans mécanique ni trop de techniques.
L'atelier d'un artisan, d'épiques composites ou de plus sobres compositions.
Tendre ou brutal, le progueux peut en être, enchanté d'en faire partie, qui ne tarira pas d'éloges.
Toujours heureux de compléter en faisant plus ample "connaissance"...
(comme il en est d'une bibliothèque, même s'il faut faire le tri. Ici tout y est, un ensemble d'unités, une intégrale comme on dit, reste plus qu'à "préférer"!).

Quand je compte "70's", j'inclus toutes ses d'influences, allant du folklore troubadesque, genre Tull, aux prouesses Jazz-Rock les plus Beck, avec des qui rappellent Pink Floyd, Tony Scott, Stevie Wonder, Weather Report ou Stevie Ray Vaughan...
... et même ZAPPA! (le premier morceau "Fresh Air" du CD 2 "Profile", 20 minutes durant... Akkerman l'appréciait énormément et, évidemment pas dans les mêmes proportions, Zappa également... Pour le reste, cet album brasse la diversité, de plages Renaissance en blues crasseux. Et oui!, des pléthores de surprises plein la besace!, qui ne demandent qu'à s'ouvrir!...).
De la pure acoustique (voire classique, CD 7, 'Aranjuez") à plus électronique, en passant par le blues ou le jazz (même atonal, CD 6, "Prism"), tout y passe et bien, dans les mains de ce CAMELEON-CASTOR d'Ornithorynque qu'est Jan Akkerman, ses commandes en pilotage organique...

Une raison à cela : Akkerman est aussi musicien de sessions.
A côté de son travail perso, il a collaboré avec plein de gens, comme Paco De Lucia, Charlie Byrd, Alan Price, Peter Banks, Ice T (des seventies à du funk à Trip-Hop à presque techno!!!, que l'on retrouve CD 23 "C.U.", génial!!!) ou Phil Collins (là plus sceptique, qui se formate et devient infâme, mais bon, si Phil paye le prix fort, Akkerman le paye de sa personne...).

Voilà pourquoi cette multiplication des genres, du + dans son cas.
Un enrichissement personnel, en plus de gagner sa croûte...
Peux pas mieux dire, difficile à décrire.
Y'a beaucoup et ja bon pour la plupart (Jan est néerlandais), à quelques morceaux prés...
Quelques froides boites à rythmes incongrues qui tranchent avec le toujours chaud du manche.
Un triste ménage parfois, entre pyrotechnie et plastique.
Aussi, en des endroits des revers peu inspirés, qui flirtent l'ascenseur à plein nez...
Akkerman qui se fourvoie en groom de service (CD 4 & 9, 2éme partie).
Mauvais épisodes commerciaux heureusement rarissimes...
Parfois les uns dans l'autre.
Du ventre, faut bien regagner l'autre flanc...

Mais sur les VINGT ET SIX CD de ce coffret, nous ne pouvons plus faire les malins, bourgeois ou difficiles...
La Boite à musiques est ici de taille à surprendre, à deux ou trois détails prés.
Le Mérite est sauf(!).

Alors courez, vos jambes à votre cou, avant de vous en mordre les orteils, de faire la grimace, bref avant rupture, entorse et tout le tremblement !

"Dépêche" ou pure "spéculation" ?...
Les moyens se justifient vite, modiques d'un point de vue pécuniaire, opulents sur le plan artistique !
