EXCLUSIVE | Gino Vannelli interview with Jennie Montgomery

[@francosavadori7292]

Refined musician and wise man. This is the reason why , after more than 40 years he is alive well and so ageless. Much more than a simple "rock star"....One of the greatest artist and musician of our age. Long life to Gino!

[@GaryFox11000]

Total class act . incredible show live . Sound is incredible !

[@pierluigicicinelli3361]

Una persona per bene, non si sono mai sentite su di lui voci strane omosessualità o droga è un musicista vero

[@julieannkuster1999]

THE BEST MALE CLEAR VOICE PERFECT PITCH I'VE BEEN IN LOVE WITH HIM SINCE 78..STILL HAVE HIS RECORDS..HES FANTASTIC MAKES ME HAPPY BUT I CRY ALSO WANTING 🙏A❤👱‍♀️ LOVE LIKE HE HAS WITH HIS TRISH..HARD TO FIND A TRUE LOVE LIKE HE IS TO HIS WIFE..GODBLESS THEM BOTH👌❤❤🙏👱‍♀️🐶🏞🐎

[@carlosnagy]

Gino is a fantastic singer and composer. He is a real and authentic musician. His music is really amazing. I don't understand how he hasn't won a grammy yet..

[@sherriemansker6529]

I have been in love with Gino since the late 70's. I did have the pleasure of seeing him in concert and he is absolutely still got it! His lyrics are so honest and thoughtful and his music carried me through a very tough period in my life. Love, love, love him and the music.

[@Mama-Ames]

I am one of those fans who've been with Maestro Vannelli since "Crazy Life," 1973. Ive grown up inside & out, have lived & loved to Gino's music. He's a part of my soul; a genius, a legend, 'THE' Master Class, my "Earth God of Music." I will NEVER leave him & will love his every note... forever.💕

[@brucemelmer5086]

I have been lucky enough to catch Gino live a couple of times. As a fellow Canadian and the same age, I also hold Gino in high regards ... he is the "artist" of my life. He has always and will be in my music rotation. I hope "The Wheels of Life" just keep turning.

[@rosiekelly8388]

Once he gets inside and touches your soul, that's it; you're hooked. You can't escape and what's more, you don't want to.

[@tomdulle1707]

This interview is extremely well Done. She's clearly done her homework, asked her questions then got out of the way and let Gino really answer the questions fully. This is textbook interviewing and so many people get it wrong. Any aspiring broadcasters out there take note; do your homework, don't "fanboy/fangirl", give your interviewee space to open up and be comfortable . Never ask "gotcha' questions, never ask questions to feed your own ego or embarras your guest, just to make you sound special, and always remember your audience is there to hear/see the person you are interviewing, not you. She's fantastic.

[@newavatar2947]

She is really turning me on.. Im building a crush

[@csheets40]

Absolutely agree, and nicely stated. She must adore him as much as we do. So many other interviewers seem to be clueless about his astounding talent and lifetime accomplishments.

[@davidgoldmanagency]

There are few geniuses in the world of music who are multi-instrumentalists, amazing singers + composers w/a brilliant stage presence and storytelling ability, brilliant producers + conductors, and of the most original music composed for solo to full out orchestration (Pauper in Paradise side 2). His latest Wilderness Road released in 2019 (IMO) is up there w/Storm At Sunup and Brother to Brother. I put Gino in the league of Joni, Stevie, Lennon/McCartney, Jagger Richards, et al...plus he's humble and real-a rare quality in world class talents. May you continue to enjoy music and tour for as long as you are inspired to do so Gino-your audience is here, believe it!!

[@greggiacona238]

Indeed--Gino belongs in the very top echelon of musical artists--!

[@rinootkjr5801]

I have sin him 5 times in Norway and one time in Copenhagen ....one of the best woices out there and HIS music is fantastic. Rino from Norway

[@ktr441]

I fell in love with Gino Vannelli's music when I was about 11 or 12 in the late 70's. My older sister had Powerful People, the first songs I heard. I would sneak and play it on her turntable. When I was old enough I went and bought all of the Gino albums I could find and followed him through the decades. I saw him for the first time live in 2005 right after he'd completed Canto which I had not heard. He talked a lot about the experience and played several pieces. I did not go pick up that album until now, after just seeing him perform in 2018 in OH. It's lovely, and being bi-lingual, and having lived in Spain long ago, it was great to hear the Spanish guitar influence in several of those songs. Gino is a talented and great musician and seemingly a decent human being. I am forever a fan.

[@paoloi]

underrated genius that i have had the privilege to not only see many times live on stage but got to spend time with him on a personal level. Truly a gifted artist.... still wish he worked on a film soundtrack / score as I am sure that would be spectacular.

[@the1realanalogman]

Great interview. If Gino did nothing but vocalize, that gift alone would be sufficient to justify greatness. Given the fact that he also possess the gifts for composing and arranging music of such beauty, complexity and tremendous quality places him in a very elite echelon. I first heard him in 1975 and finally saw him live in Oct, 2016. It was a beautiful experience and how a man in his 60's can wield a voice that is even better than it was over 40 years ago just adds another element of awe. The list of artists of this caliber is short and definitely endangered. The way music is devolving, soon the order of the day will be a collection of caterwauling, tone deaf posers strumming out of tune guitars accompanied by a monkey banging on a drum machine. Oh, too late...

[@lanas.2129]

Amen!

[@KrystofDreamJourney]

the1realanalogman And the corporate Establishment will do everything in their power to dumb down entire human population :-) Easier to govern... I grew up as a musician, trained myself to become a pianist only to find out that by the time I was ready to hit a pro level- there was no way to promote anything of any value... We live on a wrong planet.

[@KrystofDreamJourney]

Nicola I completely agree 100 percent. I’m an established professional musician and for the first time in my life I don’t really see the future for us. The demand for artistry is gone on all levels - there are just a handful of places where you can promote something great. As you say : “hamburgers and French fries” of arts took over. The vast majority of population wouldn’t even digest pieces like “Where Am I Going”, because people don’t even know what to listen for in musical pieces... The music education is gone from schools, and mediocrity rules :-)

[@GaryFox11000]

Gino Bravo my Brother. A musical genuius who now truly is at peace with his music journey & spiritual journey. Wishing you divine guidance ; Kindest Regards, Gary O Following you since Powerful People. 🤗

[@UltimateForceMarketing]

@@KrystofDreamJourney yes, indeed! Given enough time and even the Democratic liberal left with ANTIFA & Blacklivesmatter groups will even make the Spirtual qualities of music of this calibre absolutely "ILLEGAL" just give Biden enough time..and he'll create a new Executive Order to make all Music like Gino Vannelli "Illegal" for us to purchase & enjoy for our Spiritual sanity we all need so very much these demonic days of hyper Socialism in America? I can't even believe i have to know this reality today!

[@kccosta777]

Beautiful man and beautiful voice and awesome performer over the years. I HAVE MY GINO T-SHIRT ON TODAY! ALWAYS FEEL GREAT WHEN I HAVE GINO ON -- and sometimes someone will ask, "WHO IS THAT?" It's Gino Vanelli, do know know who Gino Vanelli is? It's probably a generational thing. That's OK. Getting lost in Gino is a great way to spend an afternoon. or night.

[@rosiekelly8388]

Gino is addictive. His music and his obviously seductive quality make you keep craving more. Sensuality that comes from within and is exuded through an incredible voice. I want to take music lessons! But I'd have to ask myself, would I be studying music, or would I be studying the teacher?

[@scottclute7443]

Yes,wear it well!!

[@thistleweave1875]

Vannelli

[@joane5777]

What a master. Gino looks and sounds fantastic for being in the business for over 5 decades! I've loved him forever....

[@harmonicsinger]

WHAT A MIRACLE! Thank God for giving us the Vannelli brothers!

[@ralex3697]

Genuine talent, along with the rest of his family They are all amazing

[@mattfoley6082]

Wow, he really knows his stuff musically, he's not just a singer. Didn't know he plays guitar. When asked for advice for musicians I notice he didn't say "listen to rap." Much respect.

[@wayneblanchard97]

Gino also plays keys and is a drummer. That's him drumming on his debut album 'Wonderful Life'. It's also the reason why he always has such great drummers and fantastic bands.

[@paoloi]

Watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZzadKapnJVppdk as he plays everything. Got to sit 2 feet from him in his studio handing him a guitar to play songs and then hearing him play piano... amazing artist.

[@pangeaproxima9446]

Not on this one but he said "listen to rap" in another interview.

[@andypianoman2732]

just breathtaking! and the sound of that band! wow

[@scottclute7443]

Pure excellence.

[@csheets40]

I saw him in Louisiana about 3 years ago, and he and his band sound amazing live. Next time he tours, I'm definitely getting tickets!

[@laurabenavides3180]

HE STILL SINGS WONDERFUL TIL THIS DAY. VERY TALENTED

[@sandralazzarino7588]

Love your music Gino!! I'm so glad you have stayed true to your genius!!!

[@janetalvarado6557]

Hell to the Yeah! He can STILL hit those high notes! 💞💞💞💞💞

[@fernandosalinas1]

Solo una vida limpia explica como Gino mantiene esa voz, muy al margen de lo adelantado que significó su música en su juventud, y lo explica bien el escuchar canciones como Nightwalker, Summers of my life, Fly into this night, etc, etc. Fue y es un privilegiado que supo y sabe cuidar su gran talento, ejemplo para todos los que estamos próximos a los 60 años.

[@justifiedlife1595]

I'm so enjoying the band and arrangements in every way, and of course Gino and his voice and dancing.

[@georgegallagher4779]

This is truly an amazing gentleman...

[@onlybosslion9267]

[@senseijosesuave]

God blesse you gino.You are not only a fantastic singer.You are a fantastic person and i admire you for all tath .And your Italy soul..like your musical choices rachmaninov and other genius...You have in your hearth an european soul....This i say from my hearth because i am musician and i played some musics of you .i just wanna stop, lady ,summers of my life etç..Thanks for your music that makes me feel very happy ..and now brings good memories to me...

[@lynnrichter2995]

I've been a fan since his first song. I saw him live in Chicago in the mid 70's and would love to see him again. Hopefully he will schedule a tour that includes St. Louis and its a good venue.

[@ShaKimono]

A true testament to the power grace and passion of Gino Vanelli in all his glory blazing and heartfelt now crystallized in our hearts forevermore keep shining brother

[@anailujavlis1169]

OMG!! Love you Ginooo

[@capeacperapa7642]

Great voice

[@trishcollins-xp6ge]

I started listening to Gino in the 70s and he still looks great and his voice sounds great.i never got to see in perform in person ..maybe one day I will

[@tiluriso]

3:13 - That's true, If you add the Blues to Ravel's harmony you get Jazz.

[@BoneyWhy]

What a polite, brilliant, all-around guy!

[@nicolettadonini3027]

I've been Gino's admirer since the times of 'Night Walker' Album . . So happy to see him back in such good shape either phisically and vocally, and it's a good interview !! I really appreciate that amidst the wonders that today's technology offers us there is also that of being closer to our beloved ♡ artists . . U R 1 of the BEST !!!

You can hear all his influences in his music. He certainly has his own sound.

[@joejohnson2362]

Great interview and production value too.

[@CathrynHeymann]

Such an amazing talent, connecting with his in every way, kind of scary, so much love and appreciation for his craft especially the recent if I were ever lose your love, do old school Gino, can’t stop listening to it, being alone 13 years now, so Stu and beautiful

I have been a huge fan since the “Crazy Life” lp. My greatest wish would be if someone would ever release the album that contained “The Longer You Wait” that Arista refused to release. Now that would be great for the many Gino fans!

4.0 in philosophy..probably why I'm a good song writer. I remember singing the song "summertime" to a huge audience and literally holding a note so long that I woke up to a standing ovation. I had gone to a different world...

[@michelelaraia7358]

VANNELLI

[@tonyareed5083]

I am stunned. 😲I cannot believe Gino Vannelli, whose music I have adored since childhood, parted his lips to utter a gross Music History non-truth. (Or, perhaps, in the moment [around 3:10], he was not prepared to fully articulate what he REALLY intended to communicate)? Maurice Ravel (as well as Claude Debussy) ADMITTED that his piano Concertos were INFLUENCED by Jazz that he heard in the United States. Therefore, Ravel CANNOT be "the Father of Jazz" as Mr. Vannelli states in this interview. I, too, respect Ravel's genius, but Ravel did not create chord changes; they existed in time and space long before Ravel; he merely documented his realizations, as did Bach, Beethoven, Purcell, Handel, Mozart, and others. This is the beauty of studying Form and Analysis; if he/she is fortunate, the student eventually begins to HEAR what the early composers must have heard/realized, then documented as musical compositions. Since the chord changes existed in time and space, other musicians and composers could also derive the awareness of the progressions (but, perhaps other musicians and composers did not document their realizations). An awareness of undocumented chord progressions is indeed noteworthy, and still, Ravel, although brilliant in classical forms, was NOT the initial source of the masterful American musical art form known as Jazz. What Gino states in this interview is simply not true. I suspect that deep down he knows the truth, regardless of what he says. 💛

@@ekayaniperforms it's the Italian genes..MOST of us Italian men look 10 to 15 years younger than our actual age.. SO it seems with FIVE of my brothers ( and myself included on a good day ) lol

It’s called aging…. It will happen to you, as well! One day you’ll look in the mirror & wonder who the person is looking back at you… I think he looks great!
