Roger Passed Away (Apr.1999)

Roger & Zapp コンサート中止 (1997, Orlando FL)
すげー楽しみにしていたのに。なんとチケットの売れ行きが悪くて中止になってしまいました。まったくなさけないよRogerさん。8月の終わりには、The Isley Brothersのアリーナでのコンサートの前座でやるはずだったのに、このコンサートも中止。さらにさかのぼって2年ほど前には、Orlandoでも一番治安が悪い場所でライブがあったんだけどさすがに恐くていけなかったし。私は一生Zappを見られないのか??結構ヒット曲あったと思うんだけど、みんな冷たいよね。私の周りでは、黒人以外はZappなんて知らないですよ。Rogerは結構張り切っていて、地元ラジオ局の電話インタビューにも登場。Talking Boxを使ってまでのプロモーション、コマーシャルも結構流れていたんだけど。

Zapp(WARNER BROS.BSK3463),1980

MORE BOUNCE TO THE OUNCE
FREEDOM
BRAND NEW PPLAYER
FUNKY BOUNCE
BE ALRIGHT
COMING HOME

カット盤(CD)でなんと1ドルですよ、1ドル!!買わなきゃ罰が当たるでしょ。先日また同じ店に行ったら、49セントに値下げですよ。今度は店に罰が当たるに違いない。80年夏のヒット曲1.More Bounce To The Ounceのロングヴァージョンがうれしい。この曲以外はまだ個性を出しきれていないというか、U以降のすっきりしたスタイル、つまり「Zappらしさ」が確立されていない感じはある。BootsyとRogerの共同プロデュースであるため、「ZappにしてはP-Funk色の強いアルバム」になってしまったのが原因か?特に、3.Brand New Pplayerはいかにも1980年頃のBootsyの音がする。私の予想では、BassとDrumsはBootsyだと思うがいかがでしょう?
FREEDOM これはHUMAN BODY時代の曲の焼き直し。
