      • X, Suite For Malcolm, Francesco Bearzatti

        Francesco Bearzatti; Tinissima Quartet; X-Suite for Malcom; Francesco Bearzatti's 2008 tribute CD to actress, photographer and revolutionary Tina Modotti is considered one of the finest revelations in European jazz this decade. 'After the project dedicated to Tina Modotti, it was natural for me to think of Malcolm X, who I discovered when I was a kid. I read his autobiography and was impressed by his life and struggle for the rights of Black Americans. At the time I was very sad to read that they weren't allowed to go into restaurants or stay in the same hotel as white musicians.'; For this project, Bearzatti kept the same dazzling line-up of transalpine musicians (Giovanni Falzone, Danilo Gallo and Zeno De Rossi) and same basic structure. Over the ten sequences that unfold like tableaus inspired by the brief but extraordinary life of Malcolm X - from his birth in 1925 to his assassination in 1965 - Bearzatti releases his often unbridled creative enthusiasm, free from the constraints of form and style and far from academism while nonetheless remaining extremely faithful the genre. As such, the listener encounters funk, vintage electronic, hip hop and rock throughout X (Suite for Malcolm). Francesco Bearzatti: tenor sax, clarinet; Giovanni Falzone: trumpets and vocal effects; Danino Gallo: acoustic bass guitar; Zeno de Rossi: drums and percussions (68 min)

      • Magnetic Ensemble - D'Jazz Nevers

        Magnetic Ensemble @ D'Jazz Nevers; Antonin Leymarie, artistic direction, composition, drums; Benjamin Flament, treated metallic percussions, vibraphone; Sylvain Lemetre, digital and orchestral percussions; Linda Olah, voice; Fabrizio Rat, prepared piano; Adrien Spirli, bass synthesizer; Adrian'Aladin' Bourget, sound designer; Thomas Veyssiere, scenoraphy, lights; Guest; François Corneloup, saxophone; In my heart (Antonin Leymarie); Victory (Antonin Leymarie, Marine Pellegrini); S'abaisse (Antonin Leymarie); Butterfly (Antonin Leymarie); La Fabuleuse (Antonin Leymarie); Dancing Alone (Antonin Leymarie); What to you call a birthday party that doesn't end on the dance floor? A fiasco! No danger of this with the Magnetic Ensemble. They turned the Maison de la Culture into a proper dance floor. No beatbox for Antonin Leymarie's quintet. Why use one when you can do so much better yourself? Techno has not been very popular with jazzmen, largely for its lack of flexibility (a rigid tempo, a uniformity of sound). The Magnetic Ensemble picks up the challenge and demonstrates brilliantly that techno can be human, very human. Prepare yourself for a technoid trance, slow, progressive, polyrhythmic, irresistible, wild, frenzied. This music is made for movement! Recorded on November 12th at the festival D'Jazz Nevers (Nevers, France) - (Maison de la Culture, hall); TV Director, Samuel Thiebaut (50 min)

      • John Scofield Quartet at D'Jazz Nevers

        John Scofield @ D'Jazz Nevers; John Scofield, guitar; Larry Golding, organ, piano; Steve Swallow, electric bass; Bill Stewart, drums; Mr Fool (Darrell Edwards - George Jones - Herbie Treece); The Gambler (Don Schlitz); Jolene (Dolly Parton); Just a girl I used to know (Jack Clement); I'm lonesome I could cry (Hank Williams); You're still the one (Shania Twain - John Robert Lange); 'Sco' brilliantly continues his exploration of swing and country music. Brought into the limelight by Miles Davis in the 1980's, John Scofield explores all forms of jazz, including the blues, funk and country music. The American musician teams up with Steve Swallow, who now plays electric bass, and Bill Stewart on drums. John Scofield began playing the guitar as a teenager, discovered the standards of jazz before being drawn to jazz-rock and studying at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. In the 1970's, his career started as a side man with trumpeter and singer Chet Baker and pianist George Duke, among others. In the 1980's the general public discovered his swing, when he played for three years alongside the legendary Miles Davis. Later, Sco's brand of jazz fusion absorbed elements of soul and of the 'New Orleans Spirit', as he played with the greatest musicians of his generation, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and Jim Hall. Recorded on November 12th at the festival D'Jazz Nevers (Nevers, France) - (Maison de la Culture, hall); TV Director, Samuel Thiebaut (60 min)
