Stefano Travaglini - Ellipse (NOTAMI JAZZ 2017)

NOTAMI JAZZ

By KARL ACKERMANN / allaboutjazz

Italy's Stefano Travaglini -primarily a composer and pianist- is wildly diverse as an instrumentalist and composer. He has performed on oboe and bass guitar, studied with Estonian composer Arvo Part and American jazz and classical composer Vince Mendoza. Touring throughout four continents, Travaglini has demonstrated impressive proficiency in both jazz and classical genres though he is equally at home where categorizations aren't easily applied.

A case in point is his debut album The Hungarian Songbook (Terre Sommerse, 2013); a collection of Eastern European and Gipsy folksongs arranged for voice and improvised piano.

Ellipse is a solo piano collection, recorded spontaneously, without edits or modifications. It can be classified as free improvisation but—as on the opening "The Importance of Fishing"—abstraction and lyricism coexist nicely. The 1928 song "Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise" by Sigmund Romberg and Oscar Hammerstein II was originally composed as a dance piece, but in most of its many jazz forms, has been greatly modified. Travaglini's interpretation is unique in its mix of staccato notes and nonlinear improvisation. "Monk's Mood" is also covered as the first part of a medley with Travaglini's own "Presences." The pianist treats Thelonius Monk with due respect even while occasionally infusing the ballad rendition with a more aggressive attitude. "Looking Back" and the closing piece, "Good Bye, for Now" are beautifully expressive and more structured.

Travaglini improvises as if having previously immersed his mind in a written version of the same piece. On Ellipse, the spontaneous creations, the melodies and passages, all hang together as if part of a well-planned narrative. Since he quotes the zen-like philosophy of Lee Konitz with "That's my way of preparation—to not be prepared" we can assume that the structures we hear are being developed in real time. Ellipse is a terrific solo piano recording; adventurous, but never over the top, and often quite beautiful.

Nacho González - Illegal Grooves (2017)

“Illegal Grooves” is the debut album of Nacho González Nappa (1985). This music is full of landscapes and energy and features some of the deepest influences for Nacho, including John Patitucci, Ruben Rada, Terence Blanchard, Hugo Fattoruso and George Garzone among others.

Nacho is an Uruguayan musician, composer and social entrepreneur. After almost a decade dedicated to poverty reduction in Latin America, working at techo.org and socialab.com, he decided to pursuit his live long passion of music, and got a scholarship at Berklee College Music to study Jazz Composition. 

“Illegal Grooves” is the reflection of a long journey devoted to music, the appreciation of diverse Latin American treasures like candombe, tango, samba, and the mix from all these styles with the jazz language. It´s also a gift that symbolizes what immigrants bring when they leave their country. This illegality is actually what makes a system richer, brighter, and stronger. This illegality is what makes us different, and at the same time is what makes us recognize each other. 

All songs were written, arranged and produced by Nacho González, except from “Como dos extraños”. 

Nacho won the prestigious Wayne Shorter Award for Jazz Composition at Berklee College of Music, and the Jazz Education Award for Young Composers, and has been recognized as one of the emerging stars of modern Jazz composition.

Møster | Parker | Abrams | Herndon - Ran Do (CLEAN FEED RECORDS 2017)

“Ran Do” comes after the 2014 tour made by the band Møster in the United States, which included a double bill with the American group lead by Ingebrigt Aker Flaten, The Young Mothers. The quartet with Jeff Parker, John Herndon and Joshua Abrams is the direct consequence of Kjetil Møster’s encounter with the Chicago music community, and the approach started on the occasion – the first two are members of Tortoise, the other is the mentor of Natural Information Society. The music inside is somehow extensive of the one proposed by Møster, a pollination of progressive and psychedelic rock elements (with members of the Norwegian bands Motorpsycho, Elephant9, BigBang and Monolithic) with a strong Coltranean influence, but now entering more decisively into post-rock domains and acquiring a more “Americanized” sound. The CD follows a William S. Burroughs notion – «When you cut into the present the future leaks out» – and yes, from those old materials coming from the Sixties and the Seventies something new arises.

Of course, you’ll still find in Møster’s saxophone playing the Scandinavian trademarks pioneered by Jan Garbarek, and also all his commitment to European free improvised music, but very alive is his other interest for the alternative and indie developments of rock and roll, the same that made him to join the bands Datarock and King Midas. Parker and Herndon swim in their natural element, equating abstract textures and groove, and Abrams – here switching his guimbri for the usual double bass – has ample space to conjure his love for the kind of repetitive motifs imagined by Terry Riley and Can. In one word: unmissable.

Ada Rave Trio - The Sea, The Storm and the Full Moon (CLEAN FEED RECORDS 2017)

The Argentinian contribution to the universality of jazz is measured by everything Leandro “Gato” Barbieri gave to the music, and the gauge was put very high by the late saxophonist. Every sax player who emerged, after him, from the Buenos Aires scene had that extra challenge, and that’s the case of Ada Rave, who choose Europe – she’s based in Amsterdam – instead of the United States (Barbieri’s case), to start a succesful international career. Along with partnerships with musicians like Ab Baars, Onno Govaert, Kaja Draksler, Felicity Provan and Michael Vatcher, who by now are familiar names to the label Clean Feed followers, she formed this trio with the eminent improvisers Wilbert De Joode and Nicola Hein. Together, they create a very impressionistic reading of the poem “The Sea, the Storm and the Full Moon”, written by Rave, with the music developing on the edge of a thunderous storm, until it suddenly dissolves and a full moon is discovered up in the sky, «immense in my dream  / so real in me», as the words describe it. Generally interested in finding new paths among the possible combinations of written composition and spontaneous improvisation, here Ada Rave gives full space to her fascination for the free improvised group interactions, benefiting from the very special skills of her experimented partners. What comes from that approach is very different from everything given to us by “Gato” Barbieri, but her origins couldn’t be more honoured.

Reverso: Ryan Keberle / Frank Woeste / Vincent Courtois / Jeff Ballard - Suite Ravel (PHONOART PRODUCTIONS 2017)

Reverso - Suite Ravel brings together trombonist and composer, Ryan Keberle, and pianist and composer, Frank Woeste, for an album bridging jazz and chamber music realized by an outstanding quartet featuring French cellist, Vincent Courtois, and drummer Jeff Ballard. 

Not many composers have inspired jazz musicians as often or as intensely as Maurice Ravel. Ironically, Ravel was one of the first 20th century classical composers to acknowledge Jazz as a valuable inspiration. During his US tour in 1928 Ravel said: 

« Vous, les Américains, prenez le jazz trop à la légère. Vous semblez y voir une musique de peu de valeur, vulgaire, éphémère. Alors qu'à mes yeux, c'est lui qui donnera naissance à la musique nationale des États-Unis. »
— Maurice Ravel, Avril 1928

“You Americans take jazz too lightly. You seem to see it as a music of little value, vulgar and ephemeral. In my point of view, it is jazz that will give rise to the national music of the United States.”
— Maurice Ravel, April  1928

Keberle and Woeste show us that jazz and “classical” music have become even more intertwined in today’s music world, since they began to intersect amongst Ravel and his contemporaries such as Satie, Stravinsky and Milhaud over 100 years earlier, mutually inspiring the other’s practitioners.

Keberle and Woeste draw particular inspiration from Ravel’s “Le tombeau de Couperin”, a suite for solo piano by Maurice Ravel, composed between 1914 and 1917, in six movements based on those of a traditional Baroque suite. 

Reverso – Suite Ravel 

Peu de compositeurs ont inspiré les musiciens de jazz autant que Maurice Ravel.
Ravel fut de son côté un des premiers compositeurs du 20e siècle à considérer le jazz comme une source d’inspiration pour lui. 

Pendant sa tournée en 1928, il disait :

« Vous, les Américains, prenez le jazz trop à la légère. Vous semblez y voir une musique de peu de valeur, vulgaire, éphémère. Alors qu’à mes yeux, c’est lui qui donnera naissance à la musique nationale des États-Unis. »
— Maurice Ravel, Avril 1928

Frank Woeste et Ryan Keberle nous montrent avec quelle force le monde de la musique classique et celle du jazz se sont rapprochés aujourd’hui, les premiers rapprochements, souvent très critiqués, datant du début du 20 ème siècle, avec, entre autres, Satie et Stravinsky. 

Keberle et Woeste se sont inspirés plus particulièrement de la suite de Ravel intitulée Le tombeau de Couperin, une suite en six mouvement basée sur les principes d’écriture d’une suite baroque et composée par Ravel entre 1914 et 1917.  Elle fut écrite d’abord pour le piano, puis arrangée plus tard par Ravel lui même pour orchestre symphonique.

Le groupe transatlantique Reverso est un nouveau groupe avec une instrumentation très originale : Trombone , Violoncelle , Piano et Batterie.  

Il réunit des musiciens internationaux qu’on ne présente plus :

Dans Reverso – Suite Ravel, les musiciens jouent avec les éléments caractéristiques des mouvements traditionnels de la Suite Baroque (Prélude, Fugue, Forlane, Rigaudon, Menuet et Toccata) en proposant une sorte de miroir jazz, un reflet improvisé, de la composition originale de Maurice Ravel, et ce en renversant les rôles : Ravel, compositeur du 20e siècle qui s’est inspiré du jazz, inspire ici à son tour les musiciens de jazz du 21e siècle.

25 YEARS OF AKA MOON: NEW ALBUM

25 YEARS OF AKA MOON:

New trio album "NOW" & music box "Constellations Box"

25 years... the perfect moment to look back on a career. And that's what Aka Moon is doing, in style. This October, a big birthday concert took place at the Festival des Libertés (Brussels). The band invited several renowned international guests whom they worked with in the past. Next, the long-expected music box “Constellations Box” was released (Outhere Music, November 2017). Since 1992 - the very beginning of this group - many albums mark the successful journey of this mythical jazz trio. The box selects 20 albums that help you relive the most memorable musical moments of Aka Moon. The last album in the box, “Light Ship Trio”, is an exclusive, never-heard recording dating back from 1998. A true gem! 

And if that's not enough, Aka Moon celebrates its 25th birthday also with a new trio album “NOW”, which will be released this January (Outhere Music). After numerous recordings with guest musicians, this trio album goes back to the roots.

Ever since their initial journey through Central Africa, where they met with the Aka Pygmies, the integration of Oriental, African and Indian rhythms gives the band its unique sound which has evolved throughout the years and is still evolving. "NOW" is an extension of this desire for cultural musical integration. It also  marks the unrivalled talent of this band, acquired by their 25 years long career, performing all over the world, as well as the long friendship of these three musicians and the fusion of their individual styles. Titles as Nomadism, The Visitor and Spiritual Exil show that the album doesn't shun current themes as migration and cultural diversity. 

Come see it for yourself at one of the six release concerts in France, Belgium or The Netherlands:

03.12.17 Bozar, Brussels (BE)

RELEASE CONCERTS: 

Double fun in Brussels & Sint-Niklaas for a successful conclusion of the year

We're approaching the end of BRZZVLL & De Beren Gieren's release tours. The past three months, both bands presented their brand new albums "Waiho" & "Dug Out Skyscrapers" in Belgium, The Netherlands & UK. The (inter)national press, programmers and audience were wildly enthusiastic, resulting in multiple five stars reviews and sold-out concert halls. 

We end the year with two - not the least - Aubergine double bills in Brussels & Sint-Niklaas.

BRZZVLL and De Beren Gieren are performing together during “The New Wave Of Belgian Jazz” in AB, a terrific seven-dayer to conclude the outstanding JAZZ 100 series. The two bands will obviously present their new albums that day. Other inspiring bands joining them that day are Black Flower, Taxiwars, AAN/EOP & The Mechanics.

Further, December 21st in De Casino (Sint-Niklaas), Aka Moon & De Beren Gieren share the stage presenting "NOW" and "Dug Out Skyscrapers". An adventurous, exciting line-up, so save the date!

SÁBADO 02 -  18H00 GYSLER-PEREZ-NICK TRIO (CH) SALA PORTA-JAZZ (sessão da tarde)

Formação:

Cédric Gysler, contrabaixo ; Raphael Nick, bateria; Evaristo Perez, piano

Na linhagem dos grandes trios de jazz, este grupo toca despreocupadamente sons tons e jazz contemporâneo. De forma livre e descontraída, as suas improvisações são inspiradas pela musicalidade de EST, Brad Mehldau e Enrico Pieranunzi.

Estes três músicos suíços tocam regularmente no circuito europeu, juntos e em diferentes formações. Gostam de partilhar com alegria as suas ideias musicais e contrapontos rítmicos.

A AMR (Associação para a Promoção da Música Improvisada), foi fundada em 1973 por músicos apaixonados pelo jazz e pela improvisação, com o intuito de promover a criação e desenvolvimento de uma cena musical em Genebra, através da organização regular de concertos e oficinas.

Oito anos após a sua criação, obteve um reconhecimento das autoridades que colocaram à sua disposição o edifício localizado no 10 rue des Alpes, apelidado de "Alpes do Sul". Desde então, a AMR e seu centro de música se tornaram um dos pólos mais importantes da vida cultural de Genebra.

SÁBADO 02 -  19H00 THE NADA (PT) SALA PORTA-JAZZ (sessão da tarde)

Formação: 
João Guimarães, saxofone/ teclado, Eurico Costa, guitarra; Filipe Louro, baixo; José Marrucho, bateria

O quarteto The Nada nasceu da ânsia de procurar novos cenários, de influências diversas, de onde a improvisação pudesse emanar naturalmente, sem abdicar de algumas das premissas fundamentais do jazz. O resultado, de forte carácter "jazz-fusão- sem-pudor", algures entre o rock das franjas, o pop da Enya e o free-jazz, é o que se pode ouvir no disco homónimo, editado pelo Carimbo Porta-Jazz em 2016.

SÁBADO 02 -  22H00 - CONTROVENTO (CH) SALA PORTA-JAZZ (sessão da noite)

Formação:
Luca Pagano, guitarra electrica; Reto Suhner, flauta/ alto saxofone; Paolo Orlandi, bateria; Brooks Giger, contrabaixo

Sem líder de banda, este grupo aceita e encoraja a sensibilidade e o gosto de cada membro. O trabalho centra-se na comunicação entre os músicos, promovendo uma linguagem musical comum, enquanto se respeita a criatividade e as diferentes influências individuais.

DOMINGO 03 -  21H30 CORETO (PT) - "ANALOG" - LANÇAMENTO DE DISCO PJ039

CASA DA MUSICA -SALA 2

Formação:
João Pedro Brandão, saxofone alto/ flauta
José Pedro Coelho, saxofone tenor
Hugo Ciríaco, saxofone tenor
Rui Teixeira, saxofone barítono
Ricardo Formoso, trompete
Susana Santos Silva, trompete
Andreia Santos, trombone
Daniel Dias, trombone
AP, Guitarra
Hugo Raro, piano
José Carlos Barbosa, contrabaixo
José Marrucho, bateria

Em “Analog” a musica é inteiramente composta por João Pedro Brandão que, desta vez, se dedica à exploração de um imaginário sugerido pelo mundo analógico, transpondo os seus "ruídos" para a instrumentação deste Ensemble de 12 músicos - Ecos, ressonâncias, um curto circuito, as interferências ou o atraso numa comunicação telefónica por fio, uma mensagem em código morse, a procura de uma estação de rádio, são o mote para a composição escrita que abre espaço para momentos solísticos, improvisados e de composição colectiva.

O Coreto é formado por 12 elementos da nova geração de músicos ligados à cidade do Porto, cujas actividades individuais são reconhecidas na cena jazzística nacional e internacional.

O grupo surge no coração da Associação Porta-Jazz com o objectivo de criar um “espaço” para a exploração e concretização de um repertório original e experimental, proveniente das mais variadas fontes criativas que emergem no Jazz em Portugal.

Os seus três álbums, lançados pelo Carimbo Porta-Jazz, foram reconhecidos pela crítica nacional. “Aljamia” (2012) e “Mergulho” (2014) foram considerados os melhores do ano, e “Sem Chão” (2015) valeu à banda o prémio de Grupo do Ano na comemoração dos 50 anos do programa “5 minutos de Jazz” de José Duarte.

DOMINGO 03 -  22H30 SYLVAIN DARRIFOURCQ - IN LOVE WITH (FR)

CASA DA MUSICA - SALA 2

Formação: 
Sylvain Darrifourcq, bateria/ percussões/ composição; Théo Ceccaldi, violino; Valentin Ceccaldi, violoncelo

IN LOVE WITH são os desejos e formas de alguma maneira presos numa estreita e implacável geometria. É epiléptico, fugaz, agitado, duro mas possivelmente também quieto ou apático.

É a violência de uma linha recta.

O inventivo e virtuoso baterista francês Sylvain Darrifourcq lidera este “minimalista-brutal-jazz” trio através de composições abstractas, de derreter o cérebro, chegando como uma mistura de Ligeti, Satie, Mr. Bungle e texturas belas de música de câmara.

Sylvain reúne neste projecto, 3 grandes músicos do influente colectivo francês “Tricollectif”.
