Daunbitors of the last spill

The history of jazz obliges us once a year to bring to the scene of at least a few winners of the annual contest “DownloadBeat”. This August published the results of 63 competitive survey of jazz musical critics.

In 1885 (the source of the Dictionary of Jazz, the Luffon Publishing House), the monthly Metrona appeared in the United States, dedicated to fanfares, wind orchestras and musical theories. This was the first magazine to take several speakers and jazz. The subronomer's subzagolovka was quite understandable and today the phrase “Modern Music and its Creators”. The fact that was not yet called jazz was already given several pages. "Metron" lasted until 1961. The magazine, like everyone who has been erased later, Sweden, Orkester Jornalen, Germany, Jazz-Tango, France, Music, Le Magazine du Jazz, Belgium-were a popular press commercially involved in new music advertising. In 1934, the first issue of the Downbeat magazine was published in Chicago. The word itself denotes a unit of musical meter. This is usually the first quarter note.

In Kaluga and Alma-Ata, Kemerovo and the pioneers, in St. Petersburg and Petrozavodsk you are listening to the weekly “jazz time”. On short "freedoms from our site www.svoboda.org . The microphone in Paris Dmitry Savitsky.

VIJAY IYER TRIO - WRENS 6:48 (VIJAY IYER TRIO - 2015 - Break Stuff - ECM)

"Wrens" - Trio of Vidgei Ayer. Air - piano; Stefan Kramp - double bass and Marcus Gilmore - drums. Vijay became the best artist of 2015, and his trio was the best group of the year for a competitive survey of musicologists "Daunbita". This “Break Stuff” album was recorded last year, and went out in this March at ECM and received five stars - the highest category.

Vijay Ayer man of amazing talents and amazing fate.

He is the son of Tamilov-immigrants from India. They settled in Albani, New York, where in October 1971 Vyzhei was born. Starting at three years, he was engaged in classical music for fifteen years. His instrument was a violin. On piano, he began to play by ear, that is, he was self -taught.

But here is another short composition, Starlings, from this disk of the year.

VIJAY IYER TRIO - Starlings - 3: 52 (Vijay IYER TRIO - 2015 - Break Stuff - ECM)

“Starlings”, “starlings”, composition and the same composition of the Trio of Vidgei Ayer.

It’s difficult to talk about Vidjay Ayer, winner of the competitive survey “Daunbite”. He studied at the University of Yale Mathematics and Physics. He received a doctoral degree at the University of Burlley in California. He was engaged in complex research, in which science was combined, as such (mathematics, physics, psychology of consciousness) and music. A year after year, he was elected a musician of the year and not only Daunbit, but almost entirely the entire US musical community.

Therefore, before moving on to another winner, I suggest you listen to the play from one of the most famous discs, “accelerando”, “acceleration”, this super -state, forty -year -old, musician and scientist. But first a reminder:

You listen to the short waves of “Freedom” and from our website www.svoboda.org weekly “Jazz Time”, the history of American music. The microphone in Lutetia has your ds.

VIJAY IYER TRIO - Optimism - 7:23 (Vijay IYER TRIO - Accelerando - Act Music)

"Optimism" - Vidgei Ayer. August 2011, New York. Ayer - piano; Stefan Kramp - double bass and Marcus Gilmore drums.

From Vijay Ayer, we will probably get a lot of surprises! From "Daunbit" - hardly. “Daunbitt”, or rather, its large army of musical critics, are all busy with the same: advertising of the same talents and introducing those who used to flaunt in the first places. And to find very independent specialists among them is difficult. Of course, I am harsh today, but what to do! It was possible to predict in advance who would take the first three places in each category.

Well, it's time to do the nursing home, that is, the hall of fame:

Lee Konitz - Misty - 5:50 (Jazz Nocturne - Lee Konitz Quartet - Evidence)

“Misty”, “Every time I see you, the fog closes me ...” The author and the best performer of this play is the pianist Errol Garner. In this case, whether the hub is an alt-saxophone; Kenny Barron (guest combo) - piano; James Ginas - doublebas and Kenny Washington - drums. The record was made in New York, on October 5, 1992.

Lee Conitial 87 years old. This is also the tradition of “downs” to enter the glory of the winners of past years into the glory of the glory. Kotnz deserves this. He is a sophisticated saxophonist who played with all the strong ones - in jazz - this world. He began at home in Chicago on a clarinet, switched to tenor. At 16, he was already on stage in the orchestra Jerry Wald. He was a student, and later a friend of the pianist, composer and theorist of Jazz Lenny Tristano and, from his presentation in 1947, became part of the orchestra of Claude Sorshill. But in those student years, a boy, he played with Tristan in the Chicago bar. In 1948, Kotnz moved to New York-his career gained speed. I will only say in this brief annotation that the students, the followers of Kotnz were both Paul Desmond, and (to a great degree) Art Papper.

Through the dense fog from the veranda of the neighboring dacha, the sounds of our weekly jazz time are heard. You can listen to us yourself for short “freedoms” and, more stably, without fog, from our site www.svoboda.org . In the microphone in the town of autumn leaves - your ds.

Rudresh Mahanthappa - Gopuram - 7:37 (Rudresh Mahanthappa - Bird Calls - Act)

“GoPuram” is another difficult fate! The winner (not to be confused with the Hall of Glory) in the category of alt-saxophone became, born in Trieste, Italy, the son of immigrants from India Rudresh Mahantapp. In this SD of 2015, they played with them: Adam O'Farril-a pipe; Mat Mitchell - Royal; Francois Mutan - double bass and Rudy Roystone - drums. As we see, the ethnic composition of American jazz is changing in many ways thanks to the US musical faculties. Rudresh has been living in New York since 1998 and, guess with whom he played at his first concerts? With Vijayy Ier!

The first place among the tenor Saxophonists was taken by the winner of Grammy and the numerous prizes of Daunbit, but already in the category of, say, the sympathy of the listeners - Joe Lovano. His last disk (23rd as a leader) “Cross Culture” entered Blue Note two years ago:

Joe Lovano - Royal Roost - 5:54 (Joe Lovano - Cross Culture - Blue Note)

“Royal Roost” is the composition of Joe Lovan, leader and tenor -saxophone. James Widman - Royal; PITER SLAVOV - double bass and Otis Bran - drums. The record was made on January 15, 2012 in the New York Studio "Sear Sound".

Two words about “Royal Roost'e”, he often appears in “Jazz Time”. This New York restaurant was opened in the middle of the forties, but did not enjoy great success. Sid Thorin, known to us as DJ Symphony Sid, advised the owner Ralph Watkins to a fried chicken with beans to add a little jazz, remake a restaurant in a jazz club. And “Royal Roost” became the very club where Parker, Gillespi, Navarro, Gordon, Damron and Roach performed. As a result, the New Yorkers began to call it “The Metropolitan Bopera House”.

But back to Joseph Salvatore is fishing.

He started on an alt-saxophone. His teacher was (once again!) An immigrant was his father. Like the mother, they moved to the USA from Italy, from Sicily. Father played on tenor and after a half-toy alto, Joe also switched to tenor, and in the end he became a multi-instrumentalist.

The theme of the jazz press will not end at my introduction today. I’ll only say that in many European countries this press disappeared at the very beginning of World War II. And I recall for the last time today that this is the weekly “jazz time”, the waves of “Freedom” and our site www.svoboda.org . The microphone in Lutetia has your ds.

Regina Carter is not the first time becoming a prize -winner of Daunbit.

She began playing on the violin at two years old and it was in 68. I chose a play from her discharge of two thousandths for three reasons: firstly, Redzhina Carter herself, secondly, she plays a duet with Kenny Barron, who received the legendary Gramophone nine times, and which has long been registered in the Glory Hall, because the composition of this year wrote the medalist in class in class. Soperman-Saxophone Wayne Shorter. Wayne composition is called Footprints:

Kenny Barron & Regina Carter - Footprints - 9:36 (Kenny Barron & Regina Carter - Freefall - Verve)

“Footprints” - “Traces”, Wayne Shorter. The duet Kenny Baron and the best violinist of 2015 is Regin Carter. The disk was recorded for Verve in December of the two thousandth year. Regina’s last disc was released last year and it is called “the consolation of the south” or “the joy of the south”.
