Moisés P. Sánchez - Metamorfosis (2017)


Si Moisés P. Sánchez quiere ser un pianista de jazz o no es lo de menos: Metamorfosis muestra principalmente a un compositor que no quiere ser clasificado bajo otros parámetros que los que definen su música, y esta bebe de muchas fuentes. Podemos tirar del hilo y encontrar en su piano las viejas influencias de Brad Mehldau, Keith Jarrett o Bill Evans, por ejemplo, pero también huellas muy marcadas de nuevos referentes como Tigran Hamasyan, que comparte con el madrileño una perspectiva heterodoxa y abierta a otras músicas. Metamorfosis es un variado mapa del universo de Sánchez, dibujado con precisión y lucidez sobre un sonido cada vez más personal e inconfundiblemente autóctono.



Pianista, arreglista y compositor, la vida de Moisés P. Sánchez ha estado desde el principio impregnada de música, gracias al ambiente que sus padres procuraron desde el principio. A los tres años empezó a tocar el piano y a conocer los entresijos de la armonía y el solfeo de mano de su padre, el cual le abasteció de una gran cultura musical abarcando prácticamente todos los tipos, estilos e influencias existentes. Realmente esta peculiar manera de conocer y estudiar la música ha desembocado en un estilo único y particular en la manera de concebir el instrumento y la música en sí, pudiendo adoptar un punto de vista muy amplio respecto a la improvisación, los arreglos, la armonía o la composición. 

Ha tocado, grabado y producido a un amplio abanico de músicos como John Adams, Orquesta Nacional de España, Plácido Domingo, Benny Golson, Jorge Pardo, Chuck Loeb, Eric Marienthal, Wolfgang Haffner, Pasión Vega, Nach, Ara Malikian, Fernando Egozcue, Sandra Carrasco, Javier Paxariño, Pablo Martín Caminero, Chema Vílchez, Serranito, Javier Vercher, Albert Vila, Yoio Cuesta, Larry Martin Band, Carmen París, , y un largo etc.

También ha asistido a clases y cursos con grandes músicos como Pat Metheny, Jean-Michel Pilc, John Taylor o Joaquín Achúcarro.

Como líder en solitario tiene cuatro discos, el más reciente , "Soliloquio", su primer disco a piano solo y que acaba de ser  editado. Sus tres discos anteriores son "Adam the Carpenter" (Sello Autor, 2007) "Dedication" (Universal Music Spain/Magna Records, 2010) y "Ritual". Además como productor y compositor de "Los Viajes Inmóviles" del rapero Nach consiguió ser número uno en ventas. Además como productor acaba de realizar el último disco de Juan Valderrama, "Ambrosía". Acaba de producir gran parte del disco homenaje a Juanito Valderrama por el centenario de su muerte en el que ha tenido la oportunidad de producir y arreglar para artistas como Joan Manuel Serrat, Martirio, Antonio Carmona, Arcángel, Juanito Valderrama, Pasión Vega, Diana Navarro... 


Nuno Guedes Campos Quartet - Clair Obscur (SINTOMA RECORDS 2017)


A presente iniciativa resulta da experiência amadurecida ao longo de anos de atividade musical exercida como compositor, interprete e docente. Levar a cabo este projeto significa para mim um momento não só de alegria mas também de realização pessoal, por poder transmitir pelo menos parte daquela criação que tenho visualizado e concebido desde há muito. E é ainda a satisfação interior de assim concretizar o primeiro trabalho fonográfico de composições de minha autoria e por mim próprio interpretados.

São 10 temas que fazem a ponte entre dois mundos musicais que neste projeto coabitam harmoniosamente. Por um lado, o da música clássica erudita e contemporânea com o seu plano  formal e estruturado e, por outro lado, o do jazz, com a sua essência e como processo criativoespontâneo. 


This initiative is a result of many years of experience as a composer, musician and also a teacher. Carrying out this project represents not only a moment of joy but also personal fulfillment due to the ability of conveying, at least partly, the creative musical ideas that I have visualized and designed for a long time. And of course, all the inner satisfaction of accomplishing my first phonographic work based on my original compositions and performance as a guitarist. 
This project consists of 10 themes that form a bridge between two musical worlds that coexist harmoniously. On one hand, the classical and contemporary influence in its structured and formal sense and on the other hand the jazzistic approach within its essence and spontaneous creative process.

Django Bates' & Belovèd - The Study Of Touch (ECM 2017)


British pianist Django Bates returns to ECM with one of his very finest constellations, the trio Belovèd, with Swedish bassist Petter Eldh and Danish drummer Peter Bruun, and an aptly named album, The Study of Touch. All three musicians are highly individual players, subtly challenging the conventions of the jazz piano trio. The group came together a decade ago when Bates was teaching at Copenhagen’s Rhythmic Music Conservatory. The shared work has included inspired reconstructions of pieces associated with Charlie Parker – a formative influence for both Bates and bassist Eldh - and in this new album, Parker’s tune “Passport” is set amid Django originals, and played with respect, contemporary sensibility and joy. Some of Django’s own tunes here – such as “Senza Bitterness”, “Sadness All The Way Down” and “We Are Not Lost, We Are Simply Finding Our Way” have become core pieces in Belovèd’s repertoire, continually remodeled by this trio of improvisers. Bates’ composing and arranging skills are much in evidence, along with his freewheeling, free-flowing virtuosic melodic sense. The terse, percussive edge of Petter Eldh’s bass provides momentum and drummer Peter Bruun details the music with an almost painterly touch. In the crowded world of the piano trio, Belovèd has developed a sound all its own. The Study of Touch was recorded at Oslo’s Rainbow Studio in June 2016, and produced by Manfred Eicher.
