Les premiers frimas de l’année accueillent l’une des manifestations les plus "chaudes" du calendrier culturel limougeaud. Automne après automne depuis maintenant 13 ans, "Éclats d’Email Jazz Édition" surprend, enchante, enthousiasme toutes celles et tous ceux pour qui le Jazz est, plus qu’une simple musique, une véritable façon d’être et d’appréhender le monde et la vie. Si ce festival - conçu par Jean-Michel Leygonie et son équipe - connaît une résonnance si particulière à Limoges, c’est bien parce que notre ville peut s’enorgueillir d’une véritable histoire dans ce genre musical qui se renouvelle et sans cesse s’adapte et reflète les mutations du monde et de nos sociétés. Avec "Hot Vienne", qui s’achève dans un mois, Limoges montre qu’elle a su accueillir et aimer la musique de Jazz depuis ses origines et s’inscrire ainsi dans la modernité mais aussi dans une forme d’universalité et de fraternité. Avec Eclats d’Email Jazz Edition, la belle aventure musicale continue. Le programme qui est proposé cette année en témoigne et j’invite toutes celles et ceux qui aiment le jazz et, au-delà, toutes celles et tous ceux qui ne le connaissent pas à participer, à écouter, à applaudir ou à siffler, bref à vibrer en chœur et en cœur avec "Éclats d’Email Jazz Edition". 2 1 Conception : Direction de la communication - Ville de Limoges - Ville de la communication : Direction Conception LE MOT DE LE MOT DE DIDIER LEYRIS JEAN-MICHEL LEYGONIE président de l’association du Festival Directeur Artistique du Festival LE MOT DE DIDIER LEYRIS Je ne suis pas superstitieux, ca porte Du 15 au 25 novembre, nous allons fêter malheur!...

    Oliver Lake Big Band ! Biography Whether composing commissioned works for Pro Musica Chamber Orchestra and the Brooklyn Philharmonic; creating chamber pieces for Arditti and Flux String Quartets, Amherst Sax Quartet and San Francisco Contemporary Players ; arranging for Bjork, Lou Reed and A Tribe Called Quest; collaborating with poets Amiri Baraka and Ntozake Shange; choreographers Ron Brown and Marlies Yearby; vocalist Mary Redhouse, kumongo player Jin Hi Kim, and bamboo flute player Shuni Tsou; performing with Anna Devere Smith and Patricia Williams; sharing the stage with Mos Def and Me'shell Ndegeocello; or leading his own Organ Quartet, Big Band and cooperative ensembles the World Saxophone Quartet and Trio 3; Oliver views it all as parts of the same whole. Oliver Lake Big Band Lake attributes much of his diverse array of musical styles and disciplines to his experience with the Black Artists Group (BAG), the legendary multi-disciplined and innovative St. Louis collective he co-founded with poets Ajule Rutlin, and musicians Julius Hemphill and Floyd La Flore over 35 years ago. As a co-founder of the internationally acclaimed World Saxophone Quartet with Hemphill, Hamiet Bluiett and David Murray, Oliver continues to work with a variety of groups, and collaborates with several notable choreographers, poets and a veritable Who's Who of the progressive jazz scene, performing all over the U.S., Europe, Japan, the Middle East, Africa and Australia. In addition to his musical endeavors, Oliver is also an accomplished poet, painter and performance artist. He has published two books of poetry, has exhibited and sold his artwork internationally, and has toured the country with his one-man performance piece, Matador of 1st and 1st.

  • The Avant-Garde 15
    CURRENT A HEAD ■ 407 ORNETTE COLEMAN lonely woman CECIL TAYLOR bulbs CECIL TAYLOR willisau concert, part 3 ALBERT AYLER ghosts DAVID MURRAY el matador THE AVANT-GARDE 15 Forward March T e word “avant-garde” originated in the French military to denote the advanced guard: troops sent ahead of the regular army to scout unknown territory. In English, the word was adapted to describe innovative composers, writers, painters, and other artists whose work was so pioneering that it was believed to be in the vanguard of contemporary thinking. Avant-gardism represented a movement to liberate artists from the restraints of tradition, and it often went hand-in-hand with progressive social thinking. T ose who championed avant-garde art tended to applaud social change. T ose who criticized it for rejecting prevailing standards couched their dismay in warnings against moral laxity or political anarchy. In the end, however, all art, traditional or avant-garde, must stand on its merit, inde- pendent of historic infl uences. T e art that outrages one generation often becomes the tradition and homework assignments of the next: the paintings of Paul Cézanne and Pablo Picasso, music of Gustav Mahler and Claude Debussy, and writings of Marcel Proust and James Joyce were all initially considered avant-garde. Two especially promi- nent twentieth-century avant-garde movements gathered steam in the decades follow- ing the world wars, and jazz was vital to both. Sonny Rollins combined the harmonic progressions of bop with the freedom of the avant-garde and sustained an international following. He appeared with percussionist Victor See Yuen and trombonist Clifton © HERMAN LEONARD PHOTOGRAPHY LLC/CTS IMAGES.COM Anderson at a stadium in Louisiana, 1995.

  • One Divided by Four Equals Infinity: the World Saxophone Quartet (1992)
    32 Reed All About It ONE DIVIDED BY FOUR EQUALS INFINITY: THE WORLD SAXOPHONE QUARTET (1992) n a cold, early March morning, the World Saxophone Quartet gath- Oers in New York’s Clinton Studio. Their infectious theme, Hamiet Bluiett’s “Hattie Wall,” is about to become the soundtrack for a new Reebok commercial. Warming up, Bluiett can’t find a reed he likes. “This will be all right for today,” he grumbles, more resigned than satisfied. Attaching the cul- prit to his baritone sax mouthpiece, he walks over to talk – about reeds – with alto player Arthur Blythe. Blythe, who is built like an NFL nose tack- le, was checking out their new uniforms. “I guess you can tell which jack- et’s mine,” he laughs. “The ‘blanket.’ ” A photo shoot was scheduled for after the session, so alto saxophonist Oliver Lake made sure the jackets were there. In a professional, yet friendly, manner, Lake discusses the par- ticulars of the session with the recording engineer and the commercial’s producer. Meanwhile, tenor saxophonist David Murray drifts around the fringes of the activity, in and out of sight, until it’s time to work. After four effortless takes they are finished. “That was pretty pain- less,” Blythe declares. “I think we got thirty seconds in there some- where,” Lake reflects. Bluiett smiles – the reed had held up. Murray silently packs his horn. Donning jackets, they sit for the photos. Blythe has fun, joking rau- cously. Lake is eager to finish – his parking meter is expiring – so he takes his pose and remains still, always pleasant and cooperative.
