Mozarts from jazz

Fashion is dictated by young performers

Mozarts from jazz. For the first time in Russia, Madeleine Peir will be demonstrated for the first time in Russia for the first time in Russia to demonstrate its unique vocal style, which is often compared with the performance of Billy Holide. The only concert, the American jazz singer, composer and guitarist will give on May 16 in the Moscow House of Music. And then other young performers dictating today's jazz fashion will come to Moscow
What can be said about Madeleine? She is a diva. With a typical lady for such lady.

Diva from the street Frenchwoman, born in America, apparently inherited this quality from her parents, former hippies. When they got divorced, she went with her mother to Paris, where her friendship with street musicians and immersion in jazz began. She had already sang as a teenager as part of The Lost Wandering Blues and Jazz Band on the streets of the Student Latin Quarter. In her repertoire of that time-a cover version of early American blues and jazz. And even then they began to compare Peyir with Billy Holide, since both the voice and relaxed singing of Madeline are very similar to the manner of the performance of Lady Day. Then the ballads of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell and Tom Waits entered her repertoire. And then she herself began to compose music.

She was waiting for acquaintances with interesting people: at the jazz festival in Nice, during the performance of the legendary Bi King, she met with the ex-gas player of the Rolling Stones group Billy Wayman and producer Kaga Strita, who took care and continues to take care of the singers from the same clearing: Cassandra Wilson, Joe Henry, Nora Jones ... Madeleine records music, travels on tour, and even in 2007, according to the Air Force, becomes the best international jazz performer.

The victims of the elements recently have come into the life of the singer - Madeleine was engaged in charity. After natural disasters in Haiti in early 2010, she arrived with a concert to the camp of immigrants-victims of floods in Porto-play and sang a song for them that not everything can be bought-The Kind You Can't Afford. At the beginning of April this year, Rene Fleming, Joe Lovano, Eddie Gomez and other stars of Blue Note Soundwriting Madeline played in a charity concert, all the funds from which were transferred to the Japanese restoration fund, destroyed by floods and tsunami. Fortunately, her arrival in the Russian capital is not associated with any extraordinary events. But he will anticipate a pleasant event in the creative life of Peir: in early June, a new album called Standin 'On the Rooftop is released. Probably, some works from it will be included in the program of the Moscow concert. But even if it doesn’t work out to listen to Madeleine Peir live, you can go to the singer’s personal website, where a couple of new songs are laid out for the most devoted fans.

Young and early once five-year-old Laki Peterson was called "jazz mozzart." Since childhood, he amused the listeners playing the blues. The most amazing thing is that he was no exception. Among those who come to Moscow this season, the majority are young musicians, whose career began at a tender age. All of them, so different, developed the same way. Since childhood, we got into the musical environment, and then, growing up, polished their gift and from the "Toy" section went into the category of supermousers. Muscovites were already fascinated by the magic sounds of Chris Botti’s pipe and shocked the perfection of the game of the Japanese pianist Hiromi. In early June, we will be able to appreciate the jazz skill of other representatives of the talented Western youth. Within the framework of the annual festival "Estate. Jazz ”in the Arkhangelsk Moscow region on June 4, Robert Glazper with his jazz band will play on June 4, and on June 5, they sing The Puppini Sisters.

The first musical experience of Robert Glasper was the singing of his mother, since she took him with her everywhere: both for club concerts and services to the church. Since childhood, he liked to mix church harmony with jazz standards. He was noticed and interested. The Blue Note recording company began to produce albums of a young jazz pianist. And immediately different magazines began to praise the debutant: Downbeat awarded his album with an assessment of four stars, Time especially noted the “improvisational creative potential and technical skills” of Glasper, and PEOPLE magazine put him on a par with musicians such as Herby Hankok and Chick Koria.

The Pappini sisters trio, contrary to the Italian name, appeared in London. Having graduated from the Jazz Vocal Department of the Musical College of St. The Trinity, the young ladies decided to blow a little and began to sing in the style of retro. This idea came to the brunetical head of the natives of Bologna Marcella Pappini (the name Trio made from her surname), and the blonde Kate Mallinz and the red beast Stephanie O'Brian joyfully supported her. In fact, all three claim to be the title of beast, since their arrangement and manner of execution are so hooligan that they amuse the audience. Why "sisters"? Just a tribute to love for the stylish vocal trio of real "Endryus sisters", which was very popular in America in the middle of the last century, and especially during the Second World War. The project for an hour, created in September 2004, quickly received recognition. Now their tour schedule is scheduled for months in advance.

By the way, the childhood of each of the project participants was also musical-everyone started about four to five years. But before getting to jazz, all three managed to try themselves in different genres. And Marcell, to a musical career, also worked as a clothing designer. Maybe that's why she found the image of Pappini's sisters?
