ReplyDeleteall this series of concert had a
double date : one evening in Rome and
one evening in Venice, but only one
concert was then broadcasted, in this case the Roman evening (May 19).
Mengelberg's set is so good, and I still have to hear Rava's. Thank you very much for this and other beautiful shares!
ReplyDeleteJust finished listening to this, after having downloaded it a while ago. Great music in excellent sound quality. Magnificent, magnificent, magnificent! Riccardo, you are a gentleman and a scholar.
ReplyDeleteJust discovered this post through the last comment...thank YOU!

Hi kinabalu. I tried to download the two sets again (lost the files in a partial hd crash). But my anti-virus software tells me it is a dangerous virus included?
ReplyDeleteHi Ernst,

WOW, GREAT!...
ReplyDeleteHUGE BIG THX!...
There's something different about the Rava link. Have yet to try Mengelberg. It's forcing itself into a different containing folder than the default downloads directory for the browser (Firefox) and then will not open with win RAR. Problem solved by extracting with 7zip, but how strange. Also any clue what that very loud sound is at the 1:55 mark of the RAVA set? Is that supposed to be there?
ReplyDeleteHi Jawn Michael, strange this extracting behaviour. Just downloaded the Rava set and tried it myself. It worked without the problems you're desrcribing. It even worked with win-rar.
ReplyDeleteHowever - the strange sound at 1:55 is a kind of coughing I would argue (deliberately by Han Bennink? - or from the smoke of Misha's cigarette?).
Insofar it belongs surely to the music. Mind you - it is Han Bennink ;-)
"Eight Reflections Of The Crocodile Silopo" es un álbum de jazz del trompetista y compositor italiano Enrico Rava, lanzado en 1987 por el sello discográfico ECM Records. El álbum presenta una mezcla de improvisación y composición, con un grupo de músicos excepcionales, incluyendo a John Abercrombie en guitarra, Palle Danielsson en bajo y Jon Christensen en batería.
ReplyDeleteEl título del álbum hace referencia a la mitología del pueblo de los Dogon, una etnia africana que habita en la región de Mali, en el que el cocodrilo es un símbolo de sabiduría y conocimiento. En el álbum, Rava explora ocho piezas, cada una de ellas como una reflexión de este mito, mezclando elementos de jazz, música clásica y world music.
La música en "Eight Reflections Of The Crocodile Silopo" es a la vez emocionante y tranquila, con melodías líricas y armonías complejas. El enfoque de Rava en la improvisación es evidente en todo el álbum, con solos de trompeta vibrantes y melodiosos que son complementados por la guitarra de Abercrombie y la sección rítmica de bajo y batería.
En general, "Eight Reflections Of The Crocodile Silopo" es un álbum de jazz excepcionalmente creativo e imaginativo, que muestra la maestría de Rava como compositor y músico de jazz. Es una obra que sin duda puede ser disfrutada tanto por los amantes del jazz tradicional como por aquellos que buscan explorar nuevas sonoridades y enfoques en el género.
