Paolo Fresu Devil Quartet
PAOLO FRESU DEVIL QUARTET Paolo Fresu (tpt, flh, eff) – Bebo Ferra (g) – Paolino Dalla Porta (cb) – Stefano Bagnoli (dr) Devil… beyond the good inventions of the Italian style In order to help us in this presentation we are using a part of the accurate title of a feature by the sorely missed Italian journalist Vittorio Franchini, who labelled the Paolo Fresu led quartet music as “a good invention of the Italian Style”. Wise people know very well that it’s no good to ‘rest on one’s laurels’, which is what very often happens in the contemporary commercial music scene. Kudos to Fresu and to this extraordinary band that, after an electric beginning on the heels of the successful experience of the ‘Angel’ quartet, found new sap with the new ‘Devil’. And these ‘Devil’ have run a long way in the music territories of our times. Therefore, after this electric and powerful start, through Fresu’s idea of a new meaning of cross breed music or -as he defines it, melange- many were wondering where the quartet music could go. Well, Fresu, Ferra, Dalla Porta and Bagnoli take everyone by surprise proposing the most electric band of the Italian jazz scene of the last few years in a completely acoustic version, subverting canons and habits, also the drowsy habits of many journalists that find it easy to hastily stick labels on a certain project. Fresu’s simply new, and in a way unsettling, idea is to release a completely different record from the previous albums, whose strength lies the fact that is a completely acoustic, played on completely acoustic instruments (including Bebo Ferra’s guitars and Stefano Bagnoli only brushes technique, in which he is a true master).

Dino Rubino Quartet
Dino Rubino Quartet “time of silence” Dino Rubino, flicorno e pianoforte; Emanuele Cisi, sax; Paolino Dalla Porta, contrabbasso; Enzo Zirilli, batteria After the lucky experience of the long tour of the theatre show 'Tempo di Chet' with Paolo Fresu and Marco Bardoscia, Dino Rubino releases the fifth album for Tǔk Music, titled 'time of silence' and he is ready to bring the new experience live in concert. In the new project, which contains 10 new songs entirely composed by him, Dino brings back to work his quartet, that is one of the most interesting groups of the last years of Italian jazz; with him (both on piano and flugelhorn) there are Emanuele Cisi on tenor saxophone, Paolino Dalla Porta on double bass and Enzo Zirilli on drums. The four instruments dialogue with each other like a single voice and move following a univocal feeling of deep serenity and harmony. Evident is the natural evolution, from the previous work 'Where is the happiness?' several times at the center of numerous positive feedbacks from both critics and audience. In the music of the quartet, the Sicilian multi-instrumentalist synthesizes his musical listening made of classical, jazz, pop, folk and blues music through a deep emotionality. The love for melody remains the main instance that guides him through the many musical worlds and the pieces take on a kinematic character, soundtracks of images and moments that emerge from the experience. The time of silence is a common good, the moment of waiting, the hope of a promise, respect, the intention of listening, the intimacy of prayer, the moment of concentration, but it is also awareness and courage to discover oneself.

Dpbetween a Smile and a Tear
DEUX AVANT -PREMIERES EXCEPTIONNELLES MARDI 17 OCTOBRE A 20H ET 22H30 A L’ARCHIPEL En présence du réalisateur Niels Lan Doky, de Didier Lockwood et de Johnny Griffin « Making of » musical avant la projection SORTIE NATIONALE A PARTIR DU 15 NOVEMBRE 2006 BETWEEN A SMILE AND A TEAR – Niels lan Doky – 2006 1 BETWEEN A SMILE AND A TEAR Il était une fois le Montmartre Jazz Club de Copenhague PRESENTATION Un HOMMAGE au jazz club Montmartre de Copenhague L’été 2004. Le lieu : Copenhague où le légendaire club de jazz rouvre pour la première fois depuis plus de 30 ans. Mais pour un très bref moment seulement : deux jours. Pour cette occasion très spéciale, quelques-uns des plus vieux musiciens vétérans du club se réunissent avec une poignée de nouveaux venus, plus jeunes, pour philosopher sur le sens de la vie et sur la conjoncture actuelle de notre société - et pour nous offrir des interprétations remarquables et pleines d’énergies dans cet ancien club de jazz. Ce film réalisé par le pianiste Niels Lan Doky , métissé vietnamien et danois, est un véritable hymne à la vie, abordant le jazz comme un langage universel. Inspiré par le film « Buena Vista Social Club » de Wim Wenders, Niels Lan Doky a été animé par la volonté de donner une vision plus large du jazz : au-delà de faire connaître la musique, faire connaître les hommes qui la font vivre ! Ainsi est né « Between a smile and a tear : il était une fois le Montmartre Jazz Club de Copenhague » … La première partie du titre anglais s’inspire d’une expression de l’harmoniciste Toots Thielemans, qualifiant ainsi son art de vivre, « entre un sourire et une larme ».

NY [email protected] www.johnabercrombie.com Born 1944 in Port Chester, NY, John Abercrombie grew up in Greenw ich, Connecticut, and began playing the guitar at the age of fourteen. By the time he w as out of high school, he w as ready to veer aw ay from imitative Chuck Berry licks in favor of learning to play the instrument more seriously. While enrolled at Boston's Berklee College of Music, Abercrombie w orked w ith other students and played local clubs and bars. "it w as pretty much your standard guitar-organ-drums set up." An offer to tour w ith organist Johnny Hammond led to his going on the road for w eeks at a time, playing such spots as Count Basie's Lounge and the Club Baron in Harlem. During that same period, Abercrombie met the Brecker Brothers w ho w ere in the process of forming Dreams. They invited Abercrombie to play w ith them, and he w as heard on Dreams' debut album on Columbia. In 1969, follow ing graduation from Berklee, Abercrombie decided to head south in hopes of breaking into the New York music scene. In the next few years he developed into one of New York's most in-demand session musicians. He recorded w ith Gil Evans, Gato Barbieri, Barry Miles and many other artists, and also became a regular w ith Chico Hamilton's group. It w as as the guitarist in Billy Cobham's band that Abercrombie first began attracting w idespread attention among the general public.
