First visit to this room at Arcueil, which is actually a converted movie theater. Marilyn Crispell
- Solo
Bent above the keyboard, face hidden by hair, it does not communicate with the public, focusing on his music. In a sequence ten minutes separated by short rests, it offers a mixture of three materials: the pointillist abstraction, finding rhythms, play with the silence of processions in which the two hands of a chase across keyboard, sometimes in stages, sometimes in opposition, but more joyful glee in furious frenzy, almost romantic melodies, accompaniment well classic.This last part I like least, as these songs, which conclude almost every sequence, fail to move me. For cons, the intensity of energetic material is a great surprise, I thought Marilyn Crispell was more or less abandoned this ground in the period from "Braxton" on time "ECM". But
repetitive sequences, thus offering all the same ingredients in varying proportions, eventually tired and disappointed me a bit. Fortunately, the last a, a melody this time more exciting (maybe it written and not improvised?), Concludes with a perfect score.
Tinissima Quartet - Tina Modotti
After I saw this quartet present two months ago their second album on Malcolm X. Tonight, they return on the first, which was christened, dedicated to Tina Modotti, including photographs, superb, are projected above the band.
The group makes me feel much better tonight. Danilo Gallo, who is sicker, alternating between his aggressive and easily tampered with the electric bass guitar, and the more dynamic and warm bass. Zeno De Rossi no longer has to play disco era evoked forces, and offers a layer of rhythm that suits me better. Giovanni Falzone
remains sober in vocal effects, being confined almost to his trumpet. And Francesco Bearzatti always alternates between clarinet and alto saxophone. But between them, understanding and exchanges are more fruitful, perhaps because they are more familiar with these songs which they turn for much longer. Their duels in short phrases exchanged lively and adventurous, and we feel great pleasure that animates them all.
Suddenly, the gimmick "Masada Italian" works better, especially when the beak Bearzatti stridulate detached from his clarinet in acute modulated! They love their
treat for concert. This time, the poem funeral of Pablo Neruda which runs on a heavier music, beautiful tribute.
