LIVE/DEADIn 1968, my parents reluctantly joined my mother’s younger sister, andher husband for a concert at a local catholic church near Zurich, a 1960’sconcrete building. The singer was Champion Jack Dupree, who, likemany american blues and jazz musicians, was touring Europe, where hecould make a better living than in the US. There, the audience had longturned towards psychedelic and folk rock, losing interest in the olderblues, soul and rock’n roll acts that had dominated the late 1950’s.At the time, I was only three years old, so I am not sure if I genuinelyremember anything about that evening. But my parents told me that Iwas so thrilled with Champion Jack Dupree, that at one point, I slid outof the church bench and speeded towards the low stage where thesinger played his piano. He picked me up with a big smile, and let me siton his knee for the entire song.Maybe that was the moment when I was first infected with the virus thatwould stay with me my whole life: american pop music, especially blues,jazz, soul, funk, and rock.In 1991, I had already built a considerable record collection, wherever Iwent, I was roaming the record stores, thrift stores and flea markets. Itwas while I was living in Brussels, when I picked up a “Live” record byLionel Hampton from 1954 at the marché aux puces. I contemplated thecover thinking that Hampton must be long dead, despite the word “Live”on the cover. (In fact, he was still alive, he would pass in 2002, aged96).I bought the record and the project was born. The simple paradox ofrecord sleeves claiming “Live” for artists who are dead intrigued me. Sofrom then on, I would buy every record that had the word LIVE and apicture of the artist on the cover, whenever I suspected that its star wasdead. Sometimes I was wrong, but by definition, that error is temporary.By 2014, the collection has grown to more than 230 records, and it keepsgrowing.I had shown it in various editions in Geneva, San Francisco, New York,Berlin, Warsaw and other cities. I always put a record player at the dis-posal of the audience, and sometimes I use the records for a DJ per-formance.When I got invited for this publication, I found myself in Cape Cod witha two week’s deadline, and only my laptop’s content at my disposal.Sometimes in the past, I had photographed about one hundred of my“live” records, but the choice here is quite accidental. In the pages on theleft side, one can find the complete list of all the artists in my “Live/Dead”collection, chronologically by dates of death, until October 2014.Naturally, that list will just keep growing in the future.I had the great chance to see some of the musicians featured in thisbook alive in concert: Frank Zappa, Albert Collins, Luther Allison, LouReed and Johnny Winter. I’d really wish they were all still alive.
