BEN SIDRAN // BLUE CAMUS

The London Times called Ben Sidran “the first existentialist jazz rapper.”

BLUE CAMUS, the follow up to DONT CRY FOR NO HIPSTER, moves Ben Sidran further in thatdirection where jazz meets poetry, philosophy and politics, combining ready grooves with bigideas and a sense of humor.Many of the songs are direct tributes to philosopher / writers of the 20th century:“The King of Harlem” is for Federico Garcia Lorca; “Blue Camus” is for Albert Camus’ famous“Stranger”, and “A Is For Alligator” is a tribute for George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”.BLUE CAMUS is also a tribute to two great musical families, the Petersons (brothers Billy andRicky) and the Sidrans (father and son Ben and Leo), who have worked and played togetherfor many years and have contributed to the recordings of, among others, Bob Dylan, Prince, Van Morrison...
