As the curtains opened last Wednesday night he stood with no violin, but instead playing keyboards. It wasn’t until he picked up his unusually shaped electric violin that I felt completely involved in his music. There was satisfaction in seeing Ponty perform after hearing what I always thought was possibly a violin but was never quite sure in many cases. Being able to see Ponty playing his violin gave a sense of the inventiveness and originality of his music. Armed also with a full backup band, Ponty • was very successful in presenting music that seemed to be 8 much less effective on his latest albums. j: The difference between Ponty’s performance of the title track “Open Mind” the night of the concert as opposed to • the recording was that there were people playing the 2 drums, bass and guitar instead of computers.

  • The BBB Featuring Bernie Dresel – Live and Energized 11.1‐Channel Auro‐3D® “Live” Recording Event (Working Title)
    The BBB Featuring Bernie Dresel – Live And Energized 11.1‐Channel Auro‐3D® “Live” Recording Event (Working Title) Date: Tuesday, April 19, 2016 Arrive By 7:00 PM, Sound Check 8:00 PM NO Admission Fee Or Cover Charge Joe’s Great American Bar & Grill, Burbank, California Bernie Dresel’ s jazz orchestra, The BBB, is without question one of Los Angeles’ most exciting large jazz ensembles, if not on the planet. The BBB provides potent testimony to the sheer exhilaration of big band jazz...a combination of intense swing and fiery soloing, as well as tight ensemble playing. The BBB is comprised of sixteen seasoned pros on the LA studio scene. Populated by LA’s finest players, The BBB takes the big band tradition into the new millennium with a contemporary, highly original sound featuring the witty, intricate, and hard‐ swinging compositions of established and up‐and‐coming composers and arrangers. And like those other famous road bands such as Buddy Rich’s, Count Basie’s, Woody Herman’s, Stan Kenton’s, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis’, the music and delivery of The BBB’s music is nothing less than astonishing when experienced live. The sound has a contemporary, dynamic and hard swinging energy with a focused edge to it that is like no other jazz orchestra, though reminiscent of Buddy Rich’s ensembles. The band make‐up is unique in that there is no piano but jazz/rockin’ guitar instead, in addition to four trumpets, four trombones, five saxophones and upright acoustic bass and drums. When people hear Bernie’s BBB, the first thing that hits them is its energy and intensity.

  • Discografía De BLUE NOTE Records Colección Particular De Juan Claudio Cifuentes
    CifuJazz Discografía de BLUE NOTE Records Colección particular de Juan Claudio Cifuentes Introducción Sin duda uno de los sellos verdaderamente históricos del jazz, Blue Note nació en 1939 de la mano de Alfred Lion y Max Margulis. El primero era un alemán que se había aficionado al jazz en su país y que, una vez establecido en Nueva York en el 37, no tardaría mucho en empezar a grabar a músicos de boogie woogie como Meade Lux Lewis y Albert Ammons. Su socio, Margulis, era un escritor de ideología comunista. Los primeros testimonios del sello van en la dirección del jazz tradicional, por entonces a las puertas de un inesperado revival en plena era del swing. Una sentida versión de Sidney Bechet del clásico Summertime fue el primer gran éxito de la nueva compañía. Blue Note solía organizar sus sesiones de grabación de madrugada, una vez terminados los bolos nocturnos de los músicos, y pronto se hizo popular por su respeto y buen trato a los artistas, que a menudo podían involucrarse en tareas de producción. Otro emigrante aleman, el fotógrafo Francis Wolff, llegaría para unirse al proyecto de su amigo Lion, creando un tandem particulamente memorable. Sus imágenes, unidas al personal diseño del artista gráfico Reid Miles, constituyeron la base de las extraordinarias portadas de Blue Note, verdadera seña de identidad estética de la compañía en las décadas siguientes mil veces imitada. Después de la Guerra, Blue Note iniciaría un giro en su producción musical hacia los nuevos sonidos del bebop. En el 47 uno de los jóvenes representantes del nuevo estilo, el pianista Thelonious Monk, grabó sus primeras sesiones Blue Note, que fue también la primera compañía del batería Art Blakey.
