WADADA LEO SMITH ED IL PULITZER PRIZE MUSIC

Post n°2742 pubblicato il 17 Aprile 2013 da pierrde

Wadada Leo Smith, un nome ed una storia che molto ha da raccontare, speriamo ancora a lungo, a vecchi e nuovi appassionati di musica nero-americana. Il grande trombettista è annunciato il 6 giugno nel cartellone del prossimo Novara Jazz Festival (vedi link) in una versione del tutto inedita con il quartetto Eco d'Alberi.

Nel frattempo il suo quadruplo album Ten Freedom  Summers (per me il top del 2012 ) è stato scelto tra i tre finalisti del premio Pulitzer per la musica, e pur non avendo vinto, il fatto di aver partecipato da protagonista ha suscitato molti commenti sui quotidiani americani.

Interessante l'articolo di Howard Reich sul Chicago Tribune, che traccia una breve storia del premio raccontando la difficoltà della musica americana per eccellenza, il jazz, ad ottenere riconoscimenti in un mondo troppo spesso chiuso e conservatore.

Ne riporto un passaggio, rimandando il lettore interessato al link per la lettura completa:

Neither award, nor Ornette Coleman's Pulitzer in 2007 for “Sound Grammar,” could have been imagined in the 50-plus years that preceded Marsalis' breakthrough. Ever since 1943, when the great symphonist William Schuman won the first music Pulitzer, all forms of American musical expression — including jazz, blues and gospel — were shut out in favor of a single, slender realm: classical.

When a Pulitzer jury recommended that Duke Ellington receive a special citation, in 1965, the board refused, prompting jurors Winthrop Sargeant and Ronald Eyer to resign.

“I'm hardly surprised that my kind of music is still without, let us say, official honor at home,” Ellington told writer Nat Hentoff in a New York Times magazine piece titled “This Cast Needs no Pulitzer Prize.”

“Most Americans,” added Ellington, “still take it for granted that European music — classical music, if you will — is the only really respectable kind. I remember, for example, that when Franklin Roosevelt died, practically no American music was played on the air in tribute to him … by and large, then as now, jazz was like the kind of man you wouldn't want your daughter to associate with.”

NEW BOX

Post n°2741 pubblicato il 17 Aprile 2013 da pierrde

 
  


Paul Motian
(http://ecmrecords.com/Catalogue/ECM/2200/2260-65.php)

This six-CD set, with recordings from 1972 to 1984, includes the albums Conception Vessel, Tribute, Dance, Le Voyage, Psalm and It Should’ve Happened A Long Time Ago. Paul Motian’s innovative drumming with the great trios of Bill Evans and Paul Bley had already assured him of a place in jazz’s history books, but Motian had not considered life as a bandleader until ECM proposed a recording session under his own name. “Conception Vessel” opened floodgates of creativity. Through these recordings we hear not only the evolution of several outstanding Motian ensembles and the birth of the enduring Motian/Frisell/Lovano trio, but also the growth of confidence of a unique jazz composer. In Paul’s music, memories of Turkish and Armenian melodies he had heard as a child were filtered through a love of jazz. Early in his career, Paul had played with Thelonious Monk, and Monk’s wayward sense of dynamics remained a reference for him, but he also loved the free expressive possibilities of the new jazz. Keith Jarrett and Charlie Haden, regular partners in Keith’s trio and quartet, encouraged Paul’s creative flight on, respectively, “Conception Vessel” and “Tribute”. With “Dance” and “Le Voyage”, the trios with Charles Brackeen recorded 1977 and 1979, Motian shaped a soundworld entirely his own, and a blueprint for the future. This box set includes extensive liner notes by pianist Ethan Iverson and rare historical photos of the musicians.

 

Charles Lloyd Quartets
(http://ecmrecords.com/Catalogue/ECM/2300/2316-20.php)

This 5-CD box set in ECM’s Old & New Masters series, issued in time for Charles Lloyd’s 75th birthday in March 2013, looks back at the beginning of the great saxophonist’s association with ECM. It includes the albums “Fish Out Of Water”, “Notes from Big Sur”, “The Call”, “All My Relations” and “Canto”. All five albums were recorded in Oslo (between 1989 and 1996) with Manfred Eicher producing and they chart a particularly rich and creative period in Lloyd’s musical life. “Fish Out Of Water” marked Lloyd’s comeback, after long years in retreat from the jazz scene. He was partnered by Scandinavian players who had been inspired by his trailblazing music of the 1960s and who were able both to support and challenge him. A particularly strong bond was forged with pianist Bobo Stenson, heard on all of the discs here, who was to become one of the most important contributors to the inner architecture of Lloyd’s group music. As Charles said in 1995, “I don’t really assume authorship. I’m very proud of my orchestra, but it’s not about someone’s solo. It’s about those miraculous moments when the music opens up and you know you’re home.” The box includes liner notes by Thomas Conrad and session photography by Dorothy Darr.
