Chords for Avishai Cohen video chat : Influences and musical tastes

_ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ My [G] influences _ are anything and everything.
[F] They come from [B] _ _ [F#] anything that happens to me every [Fm] day or any day,
and they could [D#] be _ [F]
related to the sun or to people that I meet or to music that [E] I hear.
_ Anywhere.
_ _ [G] Influences are ongoing [E] and never stopping.
_ [Em] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
I am [F#] very attracted [F] to classical music, you can say.
[F#] I love [C] classical music.
I [F] grew up on classical [E] music.
_ _ _ [F] _ [F#] I find it _ _ one of the biggest sources of [E] inspiration for [D] my writing.
_ [Em] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] Definitely not myself, _ [G] but probably _ _ Thelonious Monk [F] is my favorite jazz artist,
[A] because he's [F#] more himself than any _ _ [F] other artist that I've ever [G] heard,
jazz or not jazz, to be honest.
[D] _ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ One of the [F#] things I've discovered lately by a friend _ [F] that told me about him [G] is James Blake.
[E] _ One of [D#] his _ _ songs, _ _ There's a Limit to Your Love.
I love [Fm] _ _ his _ [Em]
voice there, and I love [F#] the [F] arrangement and _ [G] the production.
Very interesting artist.
[G#] _ _ [G]
[F#] Other than that, [F] many other [Em] things _ [F#] like _
_ _ [F] flamenco or some classical music.
[D] _
[Em] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ As soon as I was born, I started music, I guess, in some [G] ways.
But as a kid, when I was [F#] nine, I started really playing, and it never [D] stopped since. _ _
[Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ [C] My [G] rhythmic [F#m] ideas, Gabor, [F] are _ _ [F#] coming [E] from [G] my listening to a lot [G#m] of different rhythmic [Fm] influences
like _ [F#] Eddie [Fm] [G] Palmieri and Latin jazz or Afro [F]-Caribbean or [C#] African music or reggae
[F#m] or anything [G] that's very rhythmic-rooted.
I've been listening and playing [F#] all these musics [G#] for a long time,
and that's shaped my rhythmic _ _ _ _ approach.
_ _ And to composing music as [F#] well.
All of these things are _ _ backbones of my musical ideas in my compositions. _
When they are rhythmical [F] or when they are [E] even rubato, they come from the same place.
[Em] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] There's a few.
I can't say there's only one, [G] but one of the biggest, biggest influences
and most _ _ original-sounding bass players to me is [F] Jaco Pastorius.
Still, I think I've been influenced by him [G#] the most.
_ [Em] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
There's [F#] many that I [E] don't even know, I'm [D#] sure.
I'd like to play with_ _ _
who would that be?
So [Fm] many.
Paco de Lucia.
[F#] I've played with him once, and I want to play with him again.
He's one of my favorite [A]
musicians.
_ [F#] _ And at this [G#] point, I can't think, [D#] _ _ [Fm] because there's so many.
I'll just give you [D] Paco.
_ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] My link to Ladino [E] and Sephardic [F] music is mainly through my mother.
Her heritage _ [E] is _ _ _ [G] Greek [F#] via [F] Spain or _ _ [G] _ _ Sephardic roots.
She speaks Ladino [F#] and sings Ladino.
And I've been inspired mainly by her to [F] do those covers or to [F#] sing Ladino.
