Anouar Brahem Blue Maqams JAZZ ANOUAR BRAHEM BLUE MAQAMS 9 avril / Grande Salle Anouar Brahem Blue Maqams Dave Holland Jack Dejohnette Django Bates Anouar Brahem: oud Dave Holland contrebasse, Jack Dejohnette batterie, Django Bates: piano Engagé depuis ses débuts dans la patiente élaboration d'un univers poétique éminemment personnel célébrant les noces entre la sophistication formelle de la musique de chambre occidentale, la liberté expressive du jazz et la richesse d'une tradition musicale arabe ancestrale dont il est aujourd'hui l'un des plus créatifs représentants, le grand maître de l'oud Anouar Brahem poursuit sa quête universaliste d'harmonie avec un nouveau projet résolument tourné vers le jazz et ses valeurs d'ouverture. Plus que jamais “passeur” entre les hommes, les cultures, les genres et les époques, Anouar Brahem, reprenant en quelque sorte les choses là où il les avaient laissées il y a 20 ans avec l'album ECM “Thimar” enregistré déjà en compagnie du contrebassiste anglais Dave Holland (et de son compatriote John Surman), a mis sur pied à cette occasion une petite formation virtuose en greffant autour de ces retrouvailles réjouissantes l'allégresse et la sophistication harmonique du piano de Django Bates et la subtilité rythmique de la légende de la batterie Jack DeJohnette. A partir de compositions originales alliant un grand raffinement mélodique à des structures formelles volontairement simples permettant de laisser toute sa place et sa puissance créative au geste de l'improvisateur, Anouar Brahem développe avec ce nouveau groupe un univers lyrique à la fois d'une totale cohérence esthétique et d'une grande diversité d'humeurs. Multipliant les combinaisons instrumentales offertes par la configuration de l'orchestre (solo(s), duo(s), trio(s) jusqu'au groupe au grand complet donnant toute la mesure de son engagement rythmique et expressif), Anouar Brahem, travaillant simultanément sur la finesse des alliages de timbre, la délicatesse des équilibres dynamiques entre les instruments et la richesse de propositions générées par l'interaction continuelle entre ces grands improvisateurs, met en évidence ici la force d'intégration de sa poétique et la richesse de sa vision musicale, profondément humaniste.

  • Anouar Brahem Quartet
    2017 20:00 20.01.Grand Auditorium Vendredi / Freitag / Friday Autour du monde «The Astounding Eyes of Rita» Anouar Brahem Quartet Anouar Brahem oud Klaus Gesing bass clarinet Björn Meyer electric bass Khaled Yassine percussion 90’ sans pause Anouar Brahem Loïc Picaud L’oud, cet instrument riche d’une tradition ancestrale, s’est offert une seconde jeunesse lorsqu’il a croisé les doigts du virtuose tunisien Anouar Brahem. Depuis les années 1990, le musicien reconnu à travers le monde n’a cessé de réinventer son art et de créer des dialogues aussi inédits que riches et permanents au contact du jazz européen le plus exigeant. C’est dans la médina de Tunis, la vieille ville de la capitale tuni- sienne, que naît le 20 octobre 1957 et grandit Anouar Brahem. Tel le gamin malicieux de Halfaouine, l’enfant des terrasses, le film de Férid Boughedir qui fut un succès retentissant en 1990, ce fils d’artisan graveur et imprimeur a passé son enfance entre le souk et les rues étroites avant de signer la musique de ce film, en musicien accompli qu’il est devenu, et d’être reconnu dans le monde entier pour ses créations ambitieuses. Entré au Conservatoire national de musique de Tunis à l’âge de dix ans, il a pour professeur le compositeur et pédagogue Ali Sriti (1919–2007) pour qui l’oud, de la fabrication à la technique de jeu, n’a aucun secret. L’histoire de l’instrument à cordes pincées se confond avec les développements de la musique arabe à travers les siècles et les civilisations.

  • Catalogue 2009/10 ECM Paul Griffiths Bread and Water
    Catalogue 2009/10 ECM Paul Griffiths Bread and Water Here is someone standing at the entrance to the gallery who goes on talking all the time while almost all the visitors who come are rushing by in their eagerness to inspect what is on show inside. The hall a little way beyond is packed with rare and wonderful things, beautifully laid out and informatively labelled. There is much to see, much to learn. This is what the visitors have come for. Why, then, linger at the doorway? Why wait? But you, you have stopped. Thank you. Yes, this is the gallery, this the exhibition: a catalogue. We can use the word either to mean this paper object you hold in your hands or the totality of items a publisher or, as in this case, record company has available for sale: the CATALOGUE, as we may put it. Such a CATALOGUE is changeable as the ocean is: things will go (though rarely, where ECM is concerned), more will come. The catalogue, on the other hand, is fixed, a photograph of the ocean. There was a moment, probably before it reached print, when the catalogue was identical with the CATALOGUE. But that moment has passed and will not come again, for the ocean is growing and the photograph cannot. Is the catalogue therefore impoverished? No, no more than a photograph is. This is no snapshot, no fuzzy image trapped half_thoughtlessly on a mobile phone. Look at what you have in your hands: this is something well made, something composed. A professional photographer must have been invited to make a study of the ocean.

Dezember 2017, 17.06 - 18.30 Uhr (Zweitsendung mit Bonustracks) Sanft aber bestimmt: Anouar Brahem macht die Oud zum Solo-Instrument Viele in Tunesien hielten ihn verückt, Anouar Brahem, als er in den 80er Jahren damit begann, die Oud als Solo-Instrument in den Mittelpunkt zu stellen. Und mit Jazz zu kombinieren. Im arabischen Raum galt der Gesang seit jeher als das Mass aller Dinge – eine Kurzhalslaute hatte den traditionellen Gesang zu begleiten, und Schluss. Aber für Anouar Brahem war der Entscheid, die Oud zu emanzipieren, erst der Anfang. Im Label-Chef von ECM Manfred Eicher findet er 1990 einen «partner in crime» – und komponiert und realisiert seit dann für ECM ein Projekt nach dem anderen. Wobei immer ein Instrument im Zentrum steht: die Oud. Der schwedische Wahl-Berner und Bassist Björn Meyer spielt seit fast zehn Jahren mit Anouar Brahem zusammen. Er ist Gast in der Jazz Collection von Jodok Hess.

  • SOS [John Surman, Mike Osborne, Alan Skidmore] Title: LOOKING for the NEXT ONE (Cuneiform Rune 360/361) Format: Cdx2 / DIGITAL
    Bio information: SOS [John Surman, Mike Osborne, Alan Skidmore] Title: LOOKING FOR THE NEXT ONE (Cuneiform Rune 360/361) Format: CDx2 / DIGITAL Cuneiform promotion dept: (301) 589-8894 / fax (301) 589-1819 email: joyce [-at-] cuneiformrecords.com (Press & world radio); radio [-at-] cuneiformrecords.com (North American & world radio) www.cuneiformrecords.com FILE UNDER: JAZZ In 1974, three poll-winning British saxophonists joined forces around a radical concept: Dispense with a bass player and a drummer and go it alone. The result was SOS, the trio of John Surman, Mike Osborne and Alan Skidmore, saxophonists who led or played on many of the groundbreaking British jazz recordings of the late 1960s and ‘70s. Although SOS lasted less than three years, they paved the way for World Saxophone Quartet, Rova and other all-sax bands. During their brief existence, SOS recorded only one LP – a self-titled studio album for the legendary Ogun label – that has been frequently cited by critics and historians for almost 40 years as a landmark recording in British jazz history. Undoubtedly, Cuneiform’s release of Looking For The Next One, a 2-CD compilation of studio sessions and live recordings, will not only rekindle discussions about SOS’s innovative music among connoisseurs, but introduce their exciting, virtuosic music to a new generation of listeners. The inclusion of the entirety of their legendary July 1974 Balver Höhle Jazz Festival concert is a game- changer, as it reveals SOS’s penchant for connecting multiple compositions with open improvisations, an approach they did not employ on the Ogun album. The concert also documents how Surman seamlessly integrated keyboards and synthesizers – instruments that were overdubbed for SOS – into a performance, and gives more space to Skidmore’s energetic drumming than on the Ogun album.

Jazz en los Distritos 2 Jazz para una ciudad En la última edición de JAZZMADRID, la de 2016, ya se hizo obvio que ninguna programación musical con claro protagonismo jazzístico podía sustraerse a la influencia que, sobre el género afroamericano, han venido ejerciendo en las últimas décadas las diferentes músicas populares del mundo; una forma específica de penetración estética que encuentra razón de ser buscando enfoques alternativos para el acoplamiento entre el swing y la variada geografía sonora de la música popular. Este año, esa conexión es todavía más evidente. En algunos casos -como en los del laudista tunecino Anouar Brahem, la pianista griega Tania Giannouli o el vibrafonista etíope Mulatu Astatke-, esa relación se convierte, de hecho, en estrecho vínculo. Y junto a ellos, un año más se ha impuesto prestar atención especial a la producción local de nuestros músicos, dando, incluso, un paso más allá y llevando a escenarios de mayor aforo, como el del teatro Fernán Gómez, propuestas tan asentadas como las del pianista Moisés P. Sánchez, el trompetista David Pastor o el saxofonista Jorge Pardo. A este último, por su veteranía, por la valía de sus entregas, se le rinden sendos homenajes como titular al frente del proyecto Djinn, y como componente del histórico trío que completan Carles Benavent y Tino Di Geraldo.
