Melómanos conjuntan acciones en favor del jazz

Solecito Empezará el 22 de febrero encuentro internacional de Monterrey

LOS FOROS DE jazz siguen surgiendo aquí y allá, los festivales se mantienen, los conciertos se multiplican, los discos fluyen y la gente de infantería se organiza para autofacilitarse el acceso a una música no muy socorrida por los grandes medios. Así, a iniciativa de Arnulfo Torres Cabello, el Club Melómano Pro-Jazz comenzó actividades el pasado 15 de enero con un concierto a cargo del grupo de Pepe Mata.

ESTA ASOCIACION "PRETENDE difundir una nueva y mejor cultura musical -comenta Torres Cabello- en nuestra sociedad. La única obligación de los asociados es asistir un domingo de cada mes a disfrutar del jazz en vivo y a todo color, mediante una aportación mínima que es utilizada para pagar la participación del invitado especial. Se están creando además cursos especiales en los diferentes niveles académicos, con la finalidad de que todos los asociados puedan ejecutar, si así lo desean, al menos un instrumento musical.

"NO HAY COSTOS de inscripción, cualquier persona puede integrarse al club y disfrutar de las actividades. En cada una de ellas tendremos también diferentes ponencias, con las cuales crearemos breviarios culturales para distribuirlos por Internet. Esta es una organización civil sin fines de lucro; dependemos de la Asociación Civil Melómana, AC, y los interesados pueden comunicarse al 04455 2087-2062."

LA PROXIMA ACTIVIDAD del Club Melómano Pro-Jazz será el domingo 19 de febrero, de 12 a 15 horas, en la Casa de Cultura Frida Kahlo, de la delegación Tláhuac (Av. Paseo Nuevo esquina Av. Tláhuac). Como grupo invitado estará el dúo de Hilario y Micky.

EL CUARTO ENCUENTRO Internacional de Jazz y Música Viva Monterrey 2006 se llevará a efecto del 22 de febrero al 4 de marzo, en el Auditorio San Pedro y en el Teatro del Centro de las Artes de la regia capital norteña. El hiperactivo y necio de Omar Tamez (guitarrista del grupo Non Jazz y organizador del encuentro) vuelve a las andadas e inserta en el festival dos talleres especializados: Lenguajes e improvisación en el jazz moderno, a cargo del maestro Gebhard Ullmann, y La fotografía y el light painting, impartido por Dejan Patic. Las inscripciones cerrarán el 20 de febrero en la Pinacoteca del Centro de las Artes (interior del Parque Fundidora), en horarios de oficina.

LOS MUSICOS INVITADOS para los conciertos son, por México Omar Tamez (guitarra) y Emilio Tamez (batería y percusiones), por España Agustí Fernández (piano) y Ramón López (batería y percusiones), por Estados Unidos Andrew Cyrille (batería) y Michael Vlatkovich (trombón) y Jonathan Golove (cello), por Francia Benat Achiary (voz), por Alemania Gebhard Ullmann (piano, guitarra y alientos) y Carl Ludwig Hübsch (voz, percusiones y electrónicos), por Italia Bruno Angeloni (percusiones) y Marco Colonia (clarinete), y por Finlandia Teppo Hauta-aho (contrabajo). Intervendrá además el bailarín mexicano Shanti Oyarzábal.

ESTOS ENCUENTROS HAN resultado siempre una experiencia inigualable (un lugar común en la lengua y un pleonasmo en el jazz). La mayoría de los músicos no se han visto jamás (una doble negación) y llegan a improvisar con unos cuantos minutos de reconocimiento previo. Una rara pulsación envuelve a ejecutantes y escuchas. El tiempo y el aire se convierten en la revelación tangible de las esencias. Es algo mágico. Es jazz y música viva. Es Monterrey 2006. Salud.

  Nueva York vibra al ritmo del jazz 21/Enero/2006 - 17:52

Nueva York vibra al ritmo del jazz

Si visita la ciudad que nunca duerme, intégrese a los recorridos de los clubes donde puede escucharlo a su máxima potencia

Valeria Agis
Especial para Vida y Estilo

15 de enero de 2006

El jazz es, sin dudas, uno de los imanes más fuertes con los que Nueva York atrae a diario a miles de turistas de todo el mundo, ávidos de una intensa experiencia cultural y auditiva.

George Gershwin, Chet Baker, Charlie Parker y tantos otros iconos del género han dejado su magia impregnada en las calles de la Gran Manzana, desde Harlem hasta el West Village, de uno a otro extremo de Manhattan, en pequeños y grandes clubes, en escenarios radiantes y
lúgubres, para miles o para unos pocos entre el público cada noche.

Según números oficiales de la Oficina de Convenciones y Visitantes de Nueva York, el año último pasaron por la Gran Manzana cerca de 40 millones de personas. De esa cifra, la oficina reconoce que buena parte se debe a la enorme oferta musical que "La Ciudad que Nunca
Duerme" propone sin descanso a sus visitantes.

Si bien la promesa de jazz del mejor es siempre tentadora, la superabundancia de clubes y teatros donde ver artistas del género algunas veces puede resultar un tanto frustrante para el viajero no demasiado conocedor del tema. Por eso, para hacer del recorrido la
mejor de las vivencias, una de las alternativas más interesantes es la de contratar los relativamente nuevos "circuitos de jazz", una especie de minitours diseñados especialmente por y para entusiastas del género y con ánimos de saber más de él, que se adecuan a todos los presupuestos y las disponibilidades horarias.

El componente más valioso al contratar un tour de jazz es la inserción en una suerte de "detrás de la escena" de este estilo. Para lograrlo, el concepto que se maneja es el de "tours boutique"; es decir, recorridos en grupos pequeños en los que se van tocando diferentes clubes de la ciudad, todos ellos con distintas propuestas (aquellos más comerciales, los más populares y renombrados, los del circuito under, etc.).

Por supuesto, una de las excursiones más interesantes es la visita a los lugares donde nacieron o vivieron quienes después se consagraron como estrellas de la música.

Las antiguas casas de Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Miles Davies y Dizzy Gillespie, entre otras, son parte ineludible del viaje. Generalmente, una salida personalizada (con un guía) de este estilo ronda los cien dólares por persona, costo que también incluye el
transporte y el ingreso a los bares o clubes elegidos.

De ese valor para abajo, la escala de posibilidades se agranda. Por lo general, todos los tours de jazz nocturnos comienzan a las 8:00 de la noche, con lo cual, además de los shows en vivo, algunos incluyen
una cena básica para quien los contrata. Estas propuestas oscilan entre los 75 y 90 dólares por
persona —con comida— y los 45 y 60 dólares —opción simple—. Las salidas diurnas, desde luego, suelen ser
más económicas.


Con mapa en mano

Más allá de estos tours comandados por expertos en la materia, muchos viajeros avezados —y no tanto— prefieren, a la hora de descubrir, lanzarse a la aventura por sí solos, valiéndose exclusivamente de la
ayuda de un mapa.

En ese caso, lo ideal es tomar rumbo hacia Harlem —siempre es preferible hacer la primera incursión durante horas del día— y recorrer esas mágicas calles con los propios zapatos.

Una parada obligada de esta travesía es visitar el punto donde antiguamente se alzaba el famoso Tree of Hope, todo un monumento dentro de la historia de este barrio, ubicado entre el célebre Teatro Lafayette y el club Connie's Inn.

El árbol de la Esperanza ganó popularidad durante los años 20, según la leyenda, porque todo aquel músico que quería triunfar en el mundo del jazz caminaba hasta allí para pedirle a ese castaño un poco de suerte. Hoy, parte de ese tronco —el árbol original fue talado en
1934— descansa frente al Teatro Apolo, donde todavía continúa la tradición para muchos músicos de posar las manos sobre él en busca de buena fortuna.

Otro recorrido que sin dudas puede resolverse con un buen mapa y muchas ganas es el clásico circuito por los clubes de jazz más populares, aquellos que ya hoy gozan del renombre comercial suficiente como para que hasta aquellos que no saben demasiado de música quieran darse una vuelta por allí.

El Blue Note Club, el Village Vanguard y el Blue Smoke Jazz Standard son tres de los favoritos hace décadas. En su programación mensual, además de ofrecer shows en vivo de género más "puro", estos lugares proponen noches de jazz latino y brasileño (Celso Fonseca, Bebel
Gilberto y Milton Nascimento pasaron recientemente por sus escenarios).

También en el Lincoln Center, un clásico de la cultura neoyorquina, funciona un área dedicada especialmente a este fantástico género. Allí se puede disfrutar regularmente de conciertos gratuitos, correspondiendo con el lema que los convoca: Jazz en vivo, los 365
días del año.

  Novedades Discograficas 16/Enero/2006 - 17:31

Otro CD que despierta gran interés es Timelines, que representa el regreso del genial pianista Andrew Hill al sello Blue Note y la confirmación del renacimiento que su carrera ha experimentado recientemente. Músicos de probada experiencia como el trompetista Charles Tolliver y jóvenes como el ya mencionado Tardy, entre otros, se unen al quinteto de Hill, cuya grabación sale el 21 de febrero.

Como el hijo pródigo, el trompetista Roy Hargrove reaparece con su primera grabación de jazz straight en una década. Uno de los llamados Young Lions, quienes ayudaron a reanimar el jazz a principios de los 80, Hargrove se dedicó en los últimos años al jazz latino, la balada y, sobre todo, el funk. Su nuevo álbum doble, Reflections and Distortions (Verve), consta, de hecho, de dos discos compactos, uno de funk y el otro de jazz propiamente hablando. Sale el 28 de febrero.

Y para los amantes de la guitarra, el sensacional Pat Martino estrena el 21 de marzo Remember (Blue Note), un homenaje a la música de otro gran guitarrista, Wes Montgomery. Poseedor de un estilo marcadamente distinto al de su homenajeado, habrá que ver cómo Martino ajusta (o no) su música a la de Montgomery.

Hay muchas otras nuevas grabaciones que se pondrán a la venta en los primeros tres meses del año, como Garden of Eden (ECM) de la banda eléctrica de Paul Motian (pautada para el 24 de este mes) y Monk’s Bones (CMB Records), del Monk’s Music Trio, un tributo a la música de Thelonious Monk en el formato de dos trombones y sección de ritmo (7 de febrero). Para ver otros nuevos títulos, consulte www.allaboutjazz.com. Y recuerde que estas fechas de estrenos siempre pueden variar.

  Jazz Club in New York 14/Enero/2006 - 03:12

Jazz Clubs in New York

New York City is the "hub" of the Jazz World. All the greats made their names here, and young up-and-comers flock to the city for the chance to prove themselves.

List maintained by Gordon Polatnick: Gordon Polatnick moved back to New York City in 1995 and was immediately bitten by the jazz bug. Soon after, he developed West Miles Disease and has been scratching that itch all over town in search of improvisational healing. Gordon invites the curious jazz novice and the aficionado to share in his thrill seeking adventures from the Village to Harlem, every night of the week.

Manhattan

Early show Friday and Saturday are from 6:00 - 9:30 pm. Friday and Saturday late shows begin at 10:00 pm. Get there early because the club is small and Mike Stern et al packs them in.

El noneto "Sedajazz Latin Ensemble", nos presenta su segundo trabajo discográfico, "Envenenado" (Sedajazz Records), el cual ofrece en gira por toda la geografía Nacional y festivales internacionales.

Su anterior producción discográfica "Este También", (Fresh Sound World Jazz), fue considerada por la revista CUADERNOS DE JAZZ mejor disco del 2000 en el apartado Off Jazz, siendo preseleccionado para los premios Grammy 2001.

En 2002 participó en la muestra Mediterrania '01 (SGAE) en Madrid, y en el CD recopilatorio de la misma. En el CD "Jazz Valencia" editado por cuadernos de jazz, en el CD "Sampler de Promusics ‘03" (asociación de Músicos de jazz valencianos) y el CD "Promo 2003" de Sedajazz.

Sedajazz es invitado regularmente a participar en los festivales más prestigiosos de España: Palau de la Música y Feria de Julio de Valencia, Madrid, San Sebastián, Zaragoza, Tarragona, Lucena (Córdoba), Alicante, Teruel, Castellón, Pamplona, Lugo, La Coruña, Simat de la Valldigna, El Ejido (Almeria), Atarfe (Granada), Alhaurin de la Torre (Malaga), Lorca (Almeria), Motilla del Palancar (Cuenca), Petrer (Alicante)...

La fusión del jazz con ritmos latinos es el principal argumento de este ensemble, integrado por figuras internacionales que vienen participando tanto en las grabaciones como en los directos.

Las composiciones son de una gran diversidad y aprovechan la versatilidad del noneto, que conserva toda la fuerza y las posibilidades de contraste de voces de las grandes orquestas. Las intervenciones solistas están muy bien dosificadas, todos los miembros del grupo tienen ocasiones de lucimiento especial. Un repertorio compuesto y arreglado exclusivamente para esta formación por sus componentes y colaboradores.
