Tous les enfants des écoles primaires de Vienne et de la Communauté d’Agglomération du Pays Viennois sont invités à venir découvrir gratuitement une création jeune public au Théâtre Antique. Cette année, Didier Lockwood accueillera les enfants pour un voyage autour du monde à travers la musique et son instrument, le violon. Accompagné de quatre jeunes musiciens du groupe Enhco & Co, Didier Lockwood conduira les enfants en Inde, dans les pays de l’Est et d’Afrique du Nord en passant par l’Irlande, l’Orient ou encore le Far West. C’est avec son violon comme seul passeport que Didier Lockwood nous fera traverser les frontières. Didier Lockwood s’est depuis longtemps passionné pour l’enseignement. Il s’investit dans différentes actions pour promouvoir la pratique artistique auprès des jeunes générations. Afin de transmettre sa passion, il ouvre le Centre des Musiques Didier Lockwood et initie ces jeunes aussi bien aux musiques classiques qu’aux musiques improvisées ou traditionnelles. Parallèlement à ce projet, le violoniste a exposé, dans un ouvrage pédagogique Cordes et âmes (Salabert), son approche technique et philosophique du violon. Didier Lockwood a fêté récemment ses trente ans de carrière, avec la sortie de l’album Globe-trotter qui retrace ses voyages et ses rencontres; le spectacle “Le Jazz et la Diva” avec Caroline Casadeus et Dimitri Naiditch et le projet “Waltz Club” qui rassemble les instruments du jazz à la française et rend hommage à la valse. Avec une trentaine d’albums à son actif, Didier Lockwood a joué avec les plus grands. Il est aujourd’hui l’un des violonistes les plus reconnus. www.didierlockwood.com Collaboration Vienne Action Culturelle, Communauté d’Agglomération du Pays Viennois, Club Jazz Entreprises et service scolaire de la Ville de Vienne V4 5 DIDIER LOCKWOOD V JEUDI 29 JUIN théâtre antique 20H30 SONNY ROLLINS SONNY ROLLINS LINE UP Sonny Rollins (ts), Clifton Anderson (tb), Bobby Broom (g), Bob Cranshaw (b), Kimati Dinizulu (perc), Victor Lewis (dms) 22 juillet 2005, Antibes-Juan-les-Pins. Le maestro du saxo arrive alors de New York et va sur ses 75 ans. Il donne ce soir-là son unique concert de l’année en Europe. Sonny Rollins paraît encore assombri par le traumatisme du 11 septembre 2001. “Ce jour-là, j’étais dans mon appartement, au 40e étage, à six blocs du World Trade Center. J’ai entendu un jet hurlant passant très bas… Puis Whâoum!”. Depuis, Rollins ne vit plus à Manhattan, mais dans une petite ville au nord de New York, Germantown. “Je ne sors pas, je ne joue pas au golf, je ne vais pas aux concerts. Je pratique mon yoga en reclus… J’ai envie d’être seul. Je ne vois plus d’intérêt à faire ce que font les autres”. Encore moins depuis qu’il a perdu (en novembre 2004) Lucille, son épouse, sa muse et conseillère de plus de trente ans. Désormais, le seul compagnon de l’artiste blanchi sous le harnais est cet instrument aux ors mats, ce sax usé d’avoir tant bourlingué, d’avoir connu tant d’éruptions sous les doigts du Colosse. Mais le vieux rebelle qui composa “The Freedom Suite” en 58, brûlant manifeste pour les droits civiques, n’a rien perdu de son esprit contestataire. Même s’il a mis une dose de spiritualité orientale dans son jazz, Sonny Rollins fulmine toujours! Rollins a fait couler des tonnes de lave et déversé des cascades d’eau fraîche; il a aussi réchauffé son souffle tellurique au soleil de St Thomas et du calypso. Depuis les incontournables “Saxophone Colossus” (1956) ou “The Bridge” (qui marque son premier retour, en 1962), son aura n’a jamais cessé de briller, notamment en scène. Le Colosse revient donc au Théâtre Antique, pour la quatrième fois seulement en 26 éditions (son dernier passage date de 99). “En scène, je suis saisi par une énergie qui vient d’ailleurs, je ne pense plus à rien, ça va trop vite”.

  • John Zorn and the Construction of Jewish Identity Through Music
    HARVARD JUDAICA COLLECTION STUDENT RESEARCH PAPERS No.7 Studies in Jewish Musical Traditions Insights from the Harvard Collection of Judaica Sound Recordings Edited by Kay Kaufman Shelemay Professor of Music Harvard University '. HARVARD •COLLEGE LIBRARY Cambridge, Massachusetts 2001 Free Improvisation: John Zorn and the Construction of Jewish Identity through Music Michael Scott Cuthbert In early 1993, the Japanese record company Eva released a new disc of pieces by a composer best known for his work in free jazz, avant-garde "classical" music, and film scoring.! Taking its title from the night of violence against Jewish people, their businesses, and their property which occurred in Nazi Germany on November 9 and 10, 1938, Kristallnacht was John Zorn's first musical exploration of his Jewish heritage. After working with a group of musicians, most of whom he had little or no prior recorded collaboration with, Zorn built on the success of this project by turning in a new direction in his creative life. Quickly founding his own Hebrew-titled record company, encouraging other Jewish musicians to embrace their ethnic and religious heritage, and releasing in quick succession a CD series of Klezmer-flavored tunes, John Zorn's seemingly abrupt decision to visibly take up his cultural identity has gained him not only fans in the Jewish and free jazz worlds, but also critics and accusations of ethnic profiteering. This paper examines the underlying assumptions, aims, and methods for achieving these goals in Zorn's recent Jewish work through statements made by the composer, and reception by his fans and critics, but primarily through his recorded legacy.

  • Goldings-Bio.Pdf
    Larry Goldings Larry Goldings is a Grammy-nominated pianist and composer. His organ trio with Peter Bernstein and Bill Stewart has been recognized in the New York Times as "the best organ trio of the last decade." Goldings’ musical inspirations draw from a lifetime of absorbing jazz, pop, funk, R&B, electronic and classical music. As a performer and recording artist, he is known for long-term collaborations that straddle the realms of jazz and pop with such artists as Jim Hall, Maceo Parker, John Scofield, Steve Gadd, Jack DeJohnette, Pat Metheny, Michael Brecker, Sia Furler, John Mayer, and others. Goldings has been recording and touring with singer-songwriter James Taylor since 2001, and is the featured musician on Taylor's One Man Band CD/DVD, the culmination of a two year world-wide tour with James and Larry in duet. In 2007, Scofield/Goldings/DeJohnette's Trio Beyond - Saudades (ECM) was recognized with a Best Instrumental Jazz Album Grammy nomination for their searing live recording at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall. Goldings’ music graces the soundtracks of many film and television projects. He contributed to the jazzy fabric of Clint Eastwood's Space Cowboys and enhanced John Madden's Proof and Judd Apatow's Funny People with original compositions, as well as providing ghoulish organ music for "Lurch" to play in the animated film, The Addams Family. Goldings' Nino Rota-inspired score to Jeff Garlin's Dealin' With Idiots is the backdrop to this hilarious film about the zany parents of a Little League baseball team. Listeners of NPR's This American Life can hear Goldings' music underscoring many of its dramatic stories.
