Le Perle Musicali/146 - Jimmy Heath, Melissa Aldana e Roberta Gambarini live al Lincoln Center
Il "sempreverde" Jimmy Heath, 90 anni e nessuna intenzione di smettere
Il DVD linkato riporta l'intera prima parte del concerto di quest'anno al Lincoln Center di New York, organizzato per celebrare i 90 anni di Jimmy Heath, una leggenda vivente del jazz, alla guida della sua Big Band, e con i preziosismi di alcuni suoi stupendi "solos" di sax. E chi ha voluto con lui Jimmy Heath per questa "celebration"?
WOMEN DO IT BETTER - Jimmy ha voluto con se un mito del jazz ormai consolidato (la nostra Roberta Gambarini, di cui ho già scritto molte volte, quindi non mi ripeterò) e un "mito nascente": la giovanissima sassofonista cilena Melissa Aldana, 28 anni, splendida jazzista sia per tecnica che per capacità improvvisative ed interpretative. Questo filmato è "cpme il porco": non si butta via niente...
Tonight we celebrate the life and 90th birthday of a true living legend, saxophonist and NEA Jazz Master Jimmy Heath. With music, stories, conversation, and images from Heath's extensive personal archive, this intimate performance in The Appel Room will be an insightful look into the colorful career of a profoundly influential artist. Heath's earliest career highlights include long-term partnerships with icons like Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, and Miles Davis, and after 70 years he remains a major fixture and creative leader in jazz. He has released over 100 albums, and his compositions have been recorded throughout the jazz world by Clark Terry, Cannonball Adderley, Ahmad Jamal, Ray Charles, Miles Davis, and countless others. These days, Heath leads his own Big Band, works with various small groups, and co-leads the highly successful Heath Brothers.
Audiences tonight will get a full taste of Heath’s brilliance as he performs original pieces for both his big band and a small group featuring vocalist Roberta Gambarini, called "the best new jazz vocalist to come along in 50 years" by legendary NEA Jazz Master Hank Jones. Rounding out the all-star lineup of musicians are Jon Faddis, Stanley Cowell, Tootie Heath, Rufus Reid, and Melissa Aldana [...]
