Claude St&eorn __ Ici à Québec, les concerts de ces musi­ ciens ont vraiment été rares et c'est pour­ quoi la présentation du nouveau trio de Ro­ bert Leriche devient un événement nette­ ment plus important qu'une simple «pre­ mière partie» à Oliver Lake. Vétéran de l'improvisation, Leriche (sax alto) s'est entouré de nouveaux musiciens. Claude St-Jean (trombone) et Raymond Houle (batterie) dont la compétence et l'é­ nergie ne font aucun doute. Ensemble, ils produisent une musique «écrite» laborieusement mais paradoxale­ ment pas assez définie thématiquement (du moins à mon oreille de jazz). Mais sous ces dehors raides et difficiles, quelle belle énergie y bouillonne.

A vingt-cinq ans, cet individu qui manie un étrange instrument au profil futuriste et amputé de ses clés peut re garder derrière lui avec fierté puisqu'il a fait partie du retour révolutionnaire d'Or- nette Coleman et de l'émergence du spec­ taculaire guitariste James Blood Ulmer (voir discographie). L'autre membre de la section rythmique, le batteur Michael Carvin, a au contraire un passé relativement humble, même si son rôle principal de batteur de sessions l'a fait jouer et enregistrer avec un nombre imposant de noms connus. Drôle de trio en effet que celui du multi- instrumentiste Hemphill. Lui qui a surtout travaillé dans ce secteur très particulier de la musique proche de l'Art Ensemble of Chicago à ce néo-funk très prisé ac­ tuellement à Defunkt. C'est ici qu'on peut faire le lien avec Tacuma. Mais Carvin allait être la grande surprise, rompant totale­ ment avec la retenue routinière de son mé­ tier de «session-man», pour nous offrir une démonstration variée et intelligente de son rôle. Avec ce lyrisme chantant «bluesifié» cet­ te attaque douce/coulante qui n'hésite pas à forcer d'accents brûlants dans les cres­ cendo, Julius Hemphill se situe près de ces grands joueurs d'alto que sont Arthur Bly- the, Omette Coleman ou Anthony Braxton, chacun ayant quand même ses caractéris­ tiques propres. On peut surtout le situer dans cette sorte d'école post-free au sens large) aux contours pas trop définis, celle des musiciens des lofts, où au bagage de la tradition et du free s'ajoute celui de l'Afrique et du funk urbain. Hemphill travaille dans les vastes terri­ toires de la musique afro-américaine, en tant que terrain d'action, point de départ à un échange/conversation. Blues, ballade, bop parkérien, ne sont pas utilisés comme référence directe, de sorte que les thèmes sortent fraîchement créés et remplis de coloration africaine et de «soul». La batterie, loin «d'accompagner» au •tphitl. sens habituel, s'amuse par exemple à oppo­ ser des roulements de marche à un thème l'accent proche des grands éclatements free des concessions et garder cette énergie si à saveur blues, à retenir temporairement de la période 1964-67, proche aussi de la. rare chez nous? un bop, à faire entendre un langage propre. difficile école européenne, germanique sur­ Julius Hemphill, Oliver Lake; deux saxo­ tout, qui s'ensuivit et qui existe toujours phonistes souvent associés l'un à l'autre: Ja-iiuiaLcideevt. ~!âcu-»\<* (d'ailleurs l'an dernier, Leriche a joué avec tous deux membres du Black Artists Group de nombreux musiciens en Europe). de St-Louis, ils ont émergé en même temps Cette formation sans basse, piano ou guita­ vers 1974-75, pour finir par se rejoindre re, nous permet d'apprécier des instrumen­ dans le spectaculaire World Saxophone tistes assez étonnnants.

All Ya Needs That Negrocity is Burnt Sugar's twelfth album since their debut in 1999. Tate shared his thoughts on jazz, afro-futurism, and James Brown. GOODISON: Tell me about your life before you came to New York. TATE: I was born in Dayton, Ohio, and we moved to DC when I was about twelve, so that would have been about 1971, 1972, and that was about the same time I really got interested in music, collecting music, really interested in collecting jazz and rock, and reading music criticism too. It kinda all happened at the same time. I had a subscription to Rolling Stone. I was really into Miles Davis. He was like my god in the 1970s. Miles, George Clinton, Sun Ra, and locally we had a serious kind of band scene going on.
