Hiromi Piano Jazz & beyond Mardi / Dienstag / Tuesday 01.04.2014 20:00 Grand Auditorium Hiromi piano 2 x ~45 Interprète Biographie IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Hiromi piano Depuis la sortie de «Another Mind», premier album d’Hiromi Uehara paru en 2003 chez Telarc, label indépendant appartenant à Concord Music Group, la compositrice et pianiste japonaise a électrisé le public et la critique des deux hémisphères grâce à son énergie créatrice, bravant les paramètres conventionnels du jazz et poussant la musicalité et la composition à un niveau de complexité et de sophistication sans précédent. L’album «Ano- ther Mind» a immédiatement fait le buzz en Amérique du Nord, aussi bien d’un point de vue critique que commercial. Ce suc- cès s’est envolé jusqu’à son Japon natal, où l’album a été fait disque d’or (100 000 albums vendus) et où il a remporté le Jazz Album of the Year Award délivré par Recording Industry Associa- tion of Japan (RIAJ). Pourtant, nonobstant ses débuts fulgu- rants, il ne s’agit là que des prémisses d’une carrière musicale fascinante qui n’a cessé de prendre de l’importance au fil des années. Son deuxième enregistrement «Brain» remporte en 2004 l’Horizon Award aux Surround Music Awards, le New Star Award décerné par Swing Journal, le Gold Album de Jazz Life, la distinction Best Japanese Jazz Album d’HMV Japan; le Japan Music Pen Club lui attribue le Japanese Artist Award (le JMPC est un groupe de journalistes classiques et jazz). «Brain» est consacré Album of the Year 2005 par le vote des lecteurs de Swing Journal. En 2006, Hiromi est lauréate du Best Jazz Act des Boston Music Awards et reçoit le Guinness Jazz Festival’s Rising Star Award. Pour «Spiral», son disque sorti en 2006, elle reçoit les titres de Jazzman of the Year et Pianist of the Year. Le 3 Hiromi (photo: Sakiko Nomura) disque est désigné Album of the Year par le vote des lecteurs de Swing Journal. Elle prolonge son apogée musicale avec la sortie de «Time Control» en 2007 et «Beyond Standard» en 2008. Sonicbloom, son groupe composé de musiciens triés sur le volet, participe aux deux enregistrements. Y sont présents le guitariste Dave Fiuczynski «Fuze», le bassiste Tony Grey et le batteur Martin Valihora. Au cours de l’année 2009, sa production est considérable. Elle s’illustre dans «Duet» de Chick Corea, un double-album réalisé à partir d’un concert enregistré en di- rect à Tokyo aux côtés du pianiste et mentor Chick Corea. Sorti en février chez Concord, «Duet» est un album né de la collabo- ration de deux artistes provenant de générations et cultures dif- férentes, transcendant toutes les frontières pour s’exprimer unanimement avec exubérance et passion. Hiromi apparaît aus- si sur le disque «Jazz in the Garden» du bassiste Stanley Clarke, enregistré en mai 2009 chez Heads Up International, label indé- pendant de jazz appartenant au Concord Music Group. Le bat- teur Lenny White est également présent sur «Jazz in the Gar- 4 den» et la synergie engendrée par ces trois sommités fait de ce disque l’un des albums les plus rafraichissants de ces dernières années; il est signé Stanley Clarke. En juin 2009, elle a enregis- tré simultanément deux concerts sur DVD, tous deux captés à Tokyo: «Hiromi Live in Concert» (enregistré en décembre 2005) et «Hiromi’s Sonicbloom Live in Concert» (enregistré en dé- cembre 2007). Sur le premier figurent à la section rythmique Tony Grey et Martin Valihora, tandis que le deuxième fait en- tendre le jeu enflammé de David Fiuczynski. Avec «A Place To Be», Hiromi réduit ses arrangements aux solos de piano – sans pour autant sacrifier son énergie et sa passion naturelle. Paru en septembre 2009 au Japon et en janvier 2010 aux États-Unis, «A Place To Be» est un journal de bord musical passant en revue tous les endroits du monde qui ont marqué ses capacités créa- trices de façon indélébile. Enregistré quelques jours avant son 30e anniversaire en mai 2009, le disque représente également un évènement marquant. «Je voulais enregistrer la musique de mes vingt ans pour des raisons d’archivage», déclare-t-elle. «C’est comme si les personnes que j’ai rencontrées sur ma route lorsque j’avais vingt ans m’avaient aidée à me développer, à devenir mûre en tant que musicienne et en tant que per- sonne. Le disque, en plus de représenter tous les endroits qui ont inspiré ma musique, est aussi un remerciement à toutes ces personnes.» «A Place To Be» a été suivi par un DVD, «Hiro- mi Solo Live at Blue Note New York». Enregistré les 20 et 21 août 2010 au Blue Note de New York City, la vidéo inclut 11 titres originaux et un bonus spécial avec des interviews et des séquences de concerts filmées dans les villes fétiches d’Hiromi à travers le monde. Sur son disque «Voice», paru en juin 2011, Hiromi a cherché à enregistrer les «voix intérieures» des gens et s’est attelée à créer ce qu’elle appelle un «son tridimension- nel». Sur cet album, elle réunit un trio composé d’elle-même et de deux musiciens vétérans: le bassiste et guitariste Anthony Jackson (Paul Simon, The O’Jays, Steely Dan, Chick Corea) et le batteur Simon Phillips (Toto, The Who, Judas Priest, David Gil- mour, Jack Bruce). Alors qu’Hiromi s’est déjà illustrée aux côtés d’Anthony Jackson, avant l’enregistrement de «Voice», elle n’a cependant jamais enregistré d’album en entier avec l’un ou 7 l’autre (Simon Philips). Simon Philips lui a été recommandé par le légendaire bassiste Stanley Clarke, une connaissance mu- tuelle. C’est durant une tournée qu’Hiromi a commencé à écrire pour son dernier disque «Move», sorti en Europe le 2 octobre 2012 et aux États-Unis le 5 mars 2013. «Je jouais déjà depuis un petit moment avec Anthony et Simon quand j’ai commencé à comprendre leurs personnalités et ai pu découvrir un petit bi- jou dans leur jeu», explique-t-elle. «Il y a aussi tellement plus dans leur jeu. En tant que compositrice, j’ai vraiment voulu écrire des chansons spécialement pour eux et j’ai voulu révéler la beauté si unique de leur jeu.» «Move» – enregistré aux Aire Born Studios de Zionsville (Indiana) par Michael Bishop, produc- teur et ingénieur lauréat d’un Grammy Award – , tout comme «Voice», possède un thème principal décrit par Hiromi comme une «durée dans une journée». «Tu te réveilles, pars au travail et puis après tu te relaxes», dit-elle. «L’album est comme la mu- sique d’un film de toute une journée.» Née à Shizuoka (Japon) en 1979, Hiromi apprend le piano à l’âge de six ans. De son pre- mier professeur de piano, elle a appris à pianoter en s’intéres- sant à la fois aux aspects intuitifs et techniques de la musique. «Elle a toujours été débordante d’énergie, en proie à un trop- plein émotionnel», dit-elle de son premier professeur de piano. «Lorsqu’elle voulait que je joue avec une sorte de dyna- misme, elle ne l’exprimait pas avec des termes techniques. Si le morceau relevait de la passion, elle disait: ‹Joue rouge.› Ou bien s’il s’agissait d’un morceau doux, elle disait: ‹Joue bleu.› De cette façon, j’ai vraiment pu jouer avec mon cœur et non pas uniquement avec mes oreilles.» Hiromi est venue aux États-Unis en 1999 pour étudier au Berklee College of Music de Boston, un environnement qui a poussé les limites de sa sensi- bilité artistique encore plus loin. «Cela a tellement élargi ma vi- sion de la musique», confie-t-elle. «Certaines personnes ne jurent que par le jazz, d’autres par la musique classique, ou en- core par le rock. Chacun se préoccupe tellement de qui il appré- cie. Ils disent tous ‹celui-là est le meilleur›, ‹non, c’est celui-ci.› Mais je pense que tout le monde est génial. Je ne me mets pas de barrières quant à telle ou telle musique. Je peux tout écou- ter, du métal à la musique classique en passant par d’autres 8 styles.» Parmi ses mentors, à Berklee, figurent le bassiste de jazz chevronné Richard Evans qui enseigne l’arrangement et l’orchestration. Richard Evans a coproduit «Another Mind» avec Ahmad Jamal, ami de longue date et collaborateur, qui s’est lui réjoui personnellement du développement artistique d’Hiromi. «Elle est tout simplement incroyable,» déclare Jamal. «Sa mu- sique, cumulée avec son charme et son esprit irrésistibles la propulse à des sommets musicaux indescriptibles.» «Je ne veux pas mettre de qualification sur ma musique,» explique-t- elle. «D’autres personnes peuvent donner un nom à ce que je fais. Il s’agit de l’union entre ce que j’ai écouté et ce que j’ai ap- pris. Il y a des éléments de musique classique, il y a un peu de rock, un peu de jazz mais je ne veux pas lui attribuer de nom.» IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Hiromi piano Since the release of «Another Mind», Hiromi Uehara’s 2003 de- but on Telarc, a division of Concord Music Group, the Japanese composer/pianist has electrified audiences and critics on both hemispheres with a creative energy that defies the conventional parameters of jazz and pushes musicianship and composition to unprecedented levels of complexity and sophistication. The initial buzz – critical and commercial – triggered by «Another Mind» in North America traveled all the way back to her na- tive Japan, where the album shipped gold (100,000 units) and received the Recording Industry Association of Japan’s (RIAJ) Jazz Album of the Year Award.

  • Walter Kolosky News, Notes and Pictures
    Home News, Notes and Pictures "Power, Passion and Beauty" - The Special Edition eBook 2013 ...Contact Walter Kolosky... Walter Kolosky News, Notes and Pictures “In the North” is the new album from Greek guitarist Tassos Spiliotopoulos. Spiliotopoulos, who recently relocated to Sweden, has toured in the Asaf Sirkis Trio and performed with the likes of Kenny Wheeler and Gary Husband. “In the North” is an intriguing melange of Greek, ethnic and progressive influences. The mixture is often aggressively put forward, sometimes a bit darkly- sometimes not so darkly and more appropriately restrained. The material is full of tremendous interplay, most notably heard on engaging themes and ascending and descending lines played in unison or in contrast by Spiliotopoulos and saxophonist Orjan Hulten. The able rhythm section of bassist Palle Sollinger and drummer Fredrik Rundqvist round out the impressive band. “In the North” is serious progressive world-jazz music with an attitude. It is beautifully constructed, performed and recorded. A listener is sure to be rewarded for any time invested. For a music lover, there is nothing quite like a new discovery. I just spent the last hour or so being bowled-over by multi- instrumentalist Beledo’s “Dreamland Mechanism presented is truly impressive, but that wouldn’t mean much if the material were run-of-the-mill. Luckily for us, Beledo's jazz- rock influenced compositions are packed full of surprise and wanderlust. And all the better, his bandmates- Gary Husband, Lincoln Goines, Dewa Budjana and other cool folks- are outstanding proponents. At first listening, I became curious. Now, I am hooked.

The investigative approach has been one of analysis followed by synthesis. The initial stage had a focus on aural analysis of existing sound recordings. The creative synthesis was achieved through new performances, in a contemporary jazz setting. The significance of the project is in the creation of performances that develop this interesting but hitherto underdeveloped rhythmic principle. The direct outcomes are presented through the medium of two, 60-minute audio-visual DVD recordings, supported by an explanatory 5,000-word exegesis.
