Arturo Sandoval Tour Conciertos Grapa Email: [email protected] WebPage: www.conciertosgrapa.com CHICK COREA Maestro del Jazz, 18 veces ganador de los premios Grammy, brillante compositor y virtuoso del teclado, CHICK COREA ha alcanzado el estatus de leyenda viva luego de cinco décadas de creatividad sin precedentes y una producción artística sencillamente asombrosa. Desde la obtención de su Grammy 2012 como Mejor Solista de Jazz de Improvisación, y a lo largo de su enormemente prolífica carrera, Chick ha abordado un asombroso espectro de bases musicales en su impresionante recorrido profesional – siempre adelante, y a la vanguardia, desde el bebop a la fusión, de canciones infantiles a la música de cámara, con algunas incursiones de largo alcance dentro de la música sinfónica --, y se ha mantenido a través del tiempo en un nivel de excelencia verdaderamente impresionante. Espíritu creativo e incansable, gracias a su permanente impulso superador, Chick sigue reinventándose continuamente a sí mismo en el proceso. Innovador y Pionero Chick comenzó su carrera de la mano de maestros de la talla de Stan Getz, Sarah Vaughan y la banda de Miles Davis, donde participó en sesiones emblemáticas como In a Silent Way y Bitches Brew. Desde que decidió embarcarse en su carrera como solista en 1966, Chick ha estado a la vanguardia del jazz, tanto como pianista de renombre, al tiempo que forjaba nuevos caminos con sus bandas de jazz acústico, así como tecladista eléctrico innovador con Return to Forever y la Elektric Band. Su extensa discografía cuenta con numerosos álbumes imprescindibles, comenzando con su clásico de 1968, Now He Sings, Now He Sobs. Conciertos Grapa Email: [email protected] WebPage: www.conciertosgrapa.com Proyectos recientes Chick continúa provocando un significativo impacto sobre la escena, como lo demuestran sus premios Grammy 2007 por The Enchantment (en dueto con el virtuoso del banjo Béla Fleck), su Grammy 2008, por The New Crystal Silence (en dueto con su antiguo colaborador Gary Burton), Grammy 2009 por Returns (documentando su gira 2008, con Return to Forever) año en que también ganó otro Grammy por Five Peace Band Live (con John McLaughlin, Christian McBride, Kenny Garrett y Vinnie Colaiuta). En 2012, Corea se llevó a casa dos premios Grammy, incluyendo Mejor Solo de Jazz Instrumental por Forever, y un set de 2-CD grabados durante su gira Return to Forever en la que conformó un trío acústico con sus compañeros de banda Stanley Clarke y Lenny White. Ambos premios fueron, sorprendentemente, los Grammy Nº 17 y Nº 18 de Chick Corea. Hoy, Chick continúa una cadena ininterrumpida de productividad, luego de tres giras mundiales y cuatro nuevos álbumes: Further Explorations, ampliamente aclamada por la crítica (con Eddie Gómez y Paul Motian); The Continents: Concierto para Quinteto de Jazz y Orquesta de Cámara, un nuevo lanzamiento clásico verdaderamente ambicioso que representa su máximo logro en su faceta como maestro compositor; Hot House, que trajo una nueva y trascendente novedad en los Grammy, ocasión en la que formó parte del dúo ganador junto a Gary Burton; y el lanzamiento de su último álbum en vivo de Return to Forever: The Mothership Returns. “Una luminaria, exuberante y eternamente joven” The New York Times “Un maestro venerado”. BBC “Intensidad de la fuerza de un vendaval, gloriosamente apasionado” CHICK COREA and THE VIGIL Luego de décadas de permanecer en el más alto nivel de la música progresiva contemporánea, Chick Corea continúa impulsando la cima del jazz. Con su último proyecto, CHICK COREA and THE VIGIL, Chick se ha reinventado a sí mismo, creando una banda con una conformación completamente novedosa, con el bajista Hadrien Feraud, Marcus Gilmore en los tambores (nieto del ‘dios’ del tambor, Roy Haynes), Tim Garland en saxo, flauta y clarinete bajo, y en guitarra, la estrella en ascenso Charles Altura. THE VIGIL ofrece al público las sublimes melodías de los obras acústicos de Chick Corea, tornándolas composiciones eléctricas, estremecedoras y absolutamente brillantes. “Extraordinario talento de clase mundial” Jazzwise Conciertos Grapa Email: [email protected] WebPage: www.conciertosgrapa.com ARTURO SANDOVAL 2013 Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad Ganador del premio Emmy 6 veces ganador del premio Billboard 9 veces ganador del premio Grammy Protégé del legendario maestro del jazz Dizzy Gillespie, Sandoval nació en Artemisa, un pequeño pueblo en las afueras de La Habana, Cuba, el 6 de noviembre de 1949, apenas dos años después de que Gillespie se convirtiera en el primer músico que lograra introducir influencias latinas en el jazz norteamericano. Sandoval comenzó a estudiar trompeta clásica a la edad de doce años, pero no le tomó demasiado tiempo dejarse atrapar por la emoción del mundo del jazz. Se fue convirtiendo desde entonces en uno de los protagonistas y guardianes más reconocidos del universo de la trompeta y el fliscorno dentro del jazz, así como un reconocido artista clásico, pianista y compositor. Uno de los artistas vivos más dinámicos y descollantes de nuestro tiempo, Sandoval ha sido visto por millones de personas en la entrega de los Oscars tocando junto a Celine Dion y acompañando a Justin Timberlake en los premios Grammy, pero como estrella por derecho propio. También se presentó en los Premios Billboard con Alicia Keys. Sandoval ha sido galardonado con 10 premios Grammy y nominado 19 veces; también ha recibido 6 premios Billboard y un Emmy. Este último por su trabajo de composición para el guión de la película de la HBO basada en su vida, "For Love or Country", protagonizada por Andy García como Arturo. Sus dos últimos álbumes ganadores de los premios Grammy, "Dear Diz (Every Day I Think of You)” y el tango "Como Yo Te Siento ", hoy se venden en todo el mundo. A punto de lanzarse, hay un nuevo libro que relata su relación con Dizzy Gillespie titulado "El Hombre que me Salvó". En el año 2013, Arturo recibió la Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad. También fue nominado para dos Grammy Latinos ese mismo año. Sandoval fue miembro fundador del grupo Irakere ganador del Premio Grammy, cuya explosiva mezcla de jazz, música clásica, rock y música tradicional cubana causó sensación en todo el mundo del espectáculo. En 1981, dejó Irakere para formar su propia banda, cosechando elogios entusiastas de los críticos y del público en todo el mundo, y aún hoy continúa haciéndolo. Conciertos Grapa Email: [email protected] WebPage: www.conciertosgrapa.com Sandoval es además un renombrado músico clásico que toca regularmente con las principales orquestas sinfónicas de todo el mundo. Ha compuesto su propio "Concierto para Trompeta y Orquesta", que se puede escuchar en "Arturo Sandoval: El Álbum Clásico". Ha tocado junto a las orquestas más importantes del país y el extranjero, y grabó el “Concierto para Trompeta” de John Williams con la Orquesta Sinfónica de Londres. Con su destreza clásica, se ha ganado el respeto y la admiración de los más prestigiosos directores, compositores y orquestas sinfónicas de todo el mundo. La versatilidad de Arturo Sandoval se puede apreciar en todas sus grabaciones, ya sea junto a Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Herman, Woody Shaw, Michel Legrand, Bill Conti, como con Stan Getz, Johnny Mathis, Frank Sinatra, Paul Anka, Rod Stewart o Alicia Keys, entre muchos otros. Ha tocado junto a John Williams con la Boston Pops, y en el Super Bowl con Tony Bennett y Patti LaBelle. EL COMPOSITOR Arturo Sandoval es un brillante compositor que abarca diversos formatos musicales. Sus melodías, bellamente compuestas, pueden escucharse en varios estilos como el Jazz, Latin Jazz, Latino, Rock, Country, Funk, Folk y Clásico, para nombrar solo algunos. Los álbumes de Sandoval incluyen más de 200 de sus propias composiciones y arreglos, y se destaca entre ellos " A Mis Abuelos", que recibió nominaciones al Grammy por "Mejor Composición instrumental" y "Mejor Arreglo". Esta composición fue presentada en su álbum ganador del premio Grammy Danzón . Otros puntos destacados de la discografía de Sandoval que ofrecen sus propias composiciones incluyen : Dear Diz (Every Day I Think of You) ( 2012 ), Live at the Blue Note ( 2005 , Rumba Palace ( Grammy 2007) y Hot House ( Grammy 1998 ). Por la película “Los reyes del mambo”, fue nominado para un Grammy en 1992 a la Mejor Composición Instrumental escrita para una película o para televisión. Arturo Sandoval va más allá del mero esfuerzo; sus continuas luchas desde su deserción en Cuba le han brindado aún más fuerza y energía, instándolo a cumplir y superar sus sueños de la infancia. Se habla con frecuencia de la capacidad técnica del virtuoso Arturo Sandoval, y su especialidad en las notas altas, pero el que lo ha visto en el piano, líricamente, improvisando una balada, o ha tenido la oportunidad de disfrutar de la diversidad de su música a través de sus composiciones en el más alto nivel del jazz, latin jazz o la música clásica, sabe que Arturo Sandoval es un músico absolutamente prominente, y lo reconoce como uno de los más brillantes, polifacéticas y reconocidos músicos de nuestro tiempo. “Con una impresionante capacidad y virtuosismo, Arturo Santoval no desea más que compartir su don con quienes sienten la misma intensa adoración por la música como él lo hace.” Conciertos Grapa Email: [email protected] WebPage: www.conciertosgrapa.com ROGER KELLAWAY Roger Kellaway no es sólo un pianista impresionante sino también un compositor de una capacidad arrolladora, que ahonda en los campos de la música jazz, clásica y pop, muy destacado además en sus trabajos para cine y televisión. La discografía de Kellaway incluye más de 250 álbumes; ha trabajado con los mejores, desde Elvis a Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie a Yo-Yo Ma, Joni Mitchell a Mancini y Quincy Jones a Michael Tilson Thomas. Kellaway cuenta con un conocimiento musical verdaderamente enciclopédico y con un estilo inmediatamente reconocible por su calidad singular y burbujeante que fluye gracias a una habilidad única que tiene para incorporar el swing, boogie y muchos otros estilos en ritmos totalmente modernos.

  • Chick Corea Bio 2015 Chick Corea Has Attained Iconic Status in Music
    Chick Corea Bio 2015 Chick Corea has attained iconic status in music. The keyboardist, composer and bandleader is a DownBeat Hall of Famer and NEA Jazz Master, as well as the fourth- most nominated artist in Grammy Awards history with 63 nods – and 22 wins, in addition to a number of Latin Grammys. From straight-ahead to avant-garde, bebop to jazz-rock fusion, children’s songs to chamber and symphonic works, Chick has touched an astonishing number of musical bases in his career since playing with the genre-shattering bands of Miles Davis in the late ’60s and early ’70s. Yet Chick has never been more productive than in the 21st century, whether playing acoustic piano or electric keyboards, leading multiple bands, performing solo or collaborating with a who’s who of music. Underscoring this, he has been named Artist of the Year twice this decade in the DownBeat Readers Poll. Born in 1941 in Massachusetts, Chick remains a tireless creative spirit, continually reinventing himself through his art. As The New York Times has said, he is “a luminary, ebullient and eternally youthful.” Chick’s classic albums as a leader or co-leader include Now He Sings, Now He Sobs (with Miroslav Vitous and Roy Haynes; Blue Note, 1968), Paris Concert (with Circle: Anthony Braxton, Dave Holland and Barry Altschul; ECM, 1971) and Return to Forever (with Return to Forever: Joe Farrell, Stanley Clarke, Airto Moreria and Flora Purim; ECM, 1972), as well as Crystal Silence(with Gary Burton; ECM, 1973), My Spanish Heart (Polydor/Verve, 1976), Remembering Bud Powell (Stretch, 1997) and Further Explorations (with Eddie Gomez and Paul Motian; Concord, 2012).

  • PROGRAM NOTES Guided Tour
    13/14 Season SEP-DEC Ted Kurland Associates Kurland Ted The New Gary Burton Quartet 70th Birthday Concert with Gary Burton Vibraphone Julian Lage Guitar Scott Colley Bass Antonio Sanchez Percussion PROGRAM There will be no intermission. Set list will be announced from stage. Sunday, October 6 at 7 PM Zellerbach Theatre The Annenberg Center's Jazz Series is funded in part by the Brownstein Jazz Fund and the Philadelphia Fund For Jazz Legacy & Innovation of The Philadelphia Foundation and Philadelphia Jazz Project: a project of the Painted Bride Art Center. Media support for the 13/14 Jazz Series provided by WRTI and City Paper. 10 | ABOUT THE ARTISTS Gary Burton (Vibraphone) Born in 1943 and raised in Indiana, Gary Burton taught himself to play the vibraphone. At the age of 17, Burton made his recording debut in Nashville with guitarists Hank Garland and Chet Atkins. Two years later, Burton left his studies at Berklee College of Music to join George Shearing and Stan Getz, with whom he worked from 1964 to 1966. As a member of Getz's quartet, Burton won Down Beat Magazine's “Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition” award in 1965. By the time he left Getz to form his own quartet in 1967, Burton had recorded three solo albums. Borrowing rhythms and sonorities from rock music, while maintaining jazz's emphasis on improvisation and harmonic complexity, Burton's first quartet attracted large audiences from both sides of the jazz-rock spectrum. Such albums as Duster and Lofty Fake Anagram established Burton and his band as progenitors of the jazz fusion phenomenon.
