KUT Views & Brews – Leonard Cohen, A Life In Art
Last night, Leonard Cohen’s entire band and backup singers gathered, along with Sylvie Simmons, to celebrate “Leonard Cohen, A Life In Art,” featuring discussions of their perspectives on the Canadian singer-songwriter, readings from “I’m Your Man,” the Cohen biography by Sylvie Simmons, and musical performances.
Maarten Massa Presents
While I was attending this event in Austin, Maarten Massa was rousting himself from bed at 2:30 AM to record the live streaming.
Maarten points out that “There’s a slight delay in the sound (not perfectly sync with the video) and there are -I believe- 2 small glitches of 1-2 seconds in the streaming.” I have, however, viewed the video and it is, minor flaws and all, a treat you don’t want to miss.
This is an exquisite program altho at first the sound is too low. This gets fixed, fortunately. So interesting to hear each band member speak, and yes, they are all standup comedians as well as gifted artists.
