Englishman Jamie Lidell brought the funk and soul on Saturday to a crowd that could in no way match his exuberance. They tried, but failed.
Lidell was a joy to see, as well as photograph, because not only does he sound better live than he does on record (Compass, which is one right now) and make fantastic facial expressions, but his banter between songs – sometimes explaining them – was brilliant.
“This next song,” in his charming British accent, “is kind of a naughty one. Just imagine if you were someone’s telephone? You could fit inside their pocket, and be put on vibrate.” And he broke into his own seductive dance party on stage, clad in a blazer wrapped in knitwear while belting out “breathe into my mouthpiece, baaaaby!“
If I hadn’t been in the pit with about a dozen other photographers, I probably would have started getting down myself.
