Voleo bih da sarađujem sa Džej Zijem ili sa Ledi Gagom, kao sa umetnicima koji su na prvi pogled daleko od mog sveta, ali su kompletni muzičari i majstori na svom polju I would like to work with Jay-Z or Lady Gaga, like with artists who at first glance appear to be quite far from my world, but who are complete musicians and excellent maestros in their own field
20 days we spent recording. That might al- so be why I didn’t have a classic approach to work. I’m usually very disciplined in the studio, maybe even a bit stern. However, in Rio the studio was at the seaport, where artists and musicians enter and exit with- out order. It took me a little while to get used to that, but I believe that free and creative spirit can be felt in the album. We really liked the Bossa-nova version of the Sade song Smooth Operator. How did you decide to cover that song in particular and how did you end up collaborating with Till Brönner? - I think that’s a very valuable piece of music and we had no dilemma about that. Till is a great friend of mine and a great artist. We saw each other recently on the German island of Sylt, where he organised a jazz festival. It was very nice that we were able to sing that song to- gether, and to do so live. You’ve worked with many great art- ists. Is there anyone you’d like to work with in the future? - Now? That would be Jay-Z. I think that would be a great challenge for me. Or with Lady Gaga, like with artists who at first glance appear to be quite far from my world, but who are complete musicians and excellent maestros in their own field.
Snimili ste album u Rio de Ža- neiru. Kako je to izgledalo? – Više puta sam boravio u Brazi- lu, gde se uvek dobro osećam. Naža- lost, klima ovog puta nije bila blaga prema nama i od 20 dana snima- nja tokom 19 je padala kiša. Zbog toga možda i nisam imao klasičan pristup poslu. Inače sam u studiju veoma disciplinovan, možda čak i krut. Ipak, u Riju je studio bio uz luku, gde umetnici i muzičari ula- ze i izlaze bez reda. Trebalo mi je malo da se naviknem na to, ali ve- rujem da se taj slobodni i kreativ- ni duh oseća na albumu. Veoma nam se svidela verzi- ja pesme „Smooth Operator“, koju originalno peva Šade, u bosanova izvođenju. Kako ste odlučili da otpevate baš tu pe-
smu i kako je došlo da sarad- nje sa Tilom Brunerom? – Mislim da je to veoma vredan muzički komad i nismo se uopšte dvoumili. Til je moj veliki prijatelj i veliki umetnik. Nedavno smo se videli na Siltu, ostrvu u Nemačkoj gde on organizuje džez festival. Bi- lo je baš lepo što smo mogli zajed- no da otpevamo pesmu, i to uživo. Radili ste sa mnogo velikih umetnika, ima li nekog sa kim biste želeli da radite u buduć- nosti? – U ovom trenutku? To bi bio Džej Zi, mislim da bi to bio veliki izazov za mene, ili sa Ledi Gagom, kao sa umetnicima koji su na pr- vi pogled daleko od mog sveta, ali su kompletni muzičari i majstori na svom polju.
