  • «An Evening with Pat Metheny» Feat. Antonio Sánchez, Linda May Han Oh & Gwilym Simcock
    2017 20:00 24.10.Grand Auditorium Mardi / Dienstag / Tuesday Jazz & beyond «An evening with Pat Metheny» feat. Antonio Sánchez, Linda May Han Oh & Gwilym Simcock Pat Metheny guitar Antonio Sánchez drums Linda May Han Oh bass Gwilym Simcock piano Pat Metheny photo: Jimmy Katz Pat Metheny, au-delà de la guitare Vincent Cotro « J’ai atteint un point où j’ai tant composé que tout n’est qu’une grande composition. Avec Antonio, Lina et Gwilym, nous allons explorer cette composition pour en faire, je l’espère, quelque chose de vraiment grandiose ». Pat Metheny, présentation du concert lors du festival Jazz sous les Pommiers, mai 2017 Né en 1954 dans le Missouri, Patrick Bruce Metheny découvre à onze ans Miles Davis puis Ornette Coleman et commence la guitare à douze ans, après s’être essayé à la trompette et au cor. Il écoutera et décortiquera les solos de Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell ou Jim Hall et se produira dès quinze ans avec les meilleurs musiciens dans les clubs de Kansas City. Alors qu’il se passionne pour John Coltrane et Clifford Brown, il rencontre Gary Burton en 1974, année de son explosion sur la scène internationale. Aux côtés du vibraphoniste, il développe ce qui deviendra sa caractéristique : une articulation plutôt relâchée et flexible habituellement observée chez les « souffleurs », combinée à une sensibilité harmonique et rythmique très développée. Son premier disque avec Jaco Pastorius et Bob Moses en 1976, « Bright Size Life », réinvente en quelque sorte la tradition sous des apparences de modernité, pour une nouvelle génération de guitaristes. On voit apparaître sa passion pour la musique d’Ornette Coleman qui se manifestera largement ensuite et jusqu’à aujourd’hui.

  • BIO TIGRAN HAMASYAN in Its Ever-Evolving State, Jazz Invites Into
    BIO TIGRAN HAMASYAN In its ever-evolving state, jazz invites into its fold imaginative artists who freely and courageously pursue their own vision, not only built on tradition but also infused with their own personality and passion. In the case of pianist/keyboardist Tigran Hamasyan, potent jazz improvisation fuses with the rich folkloric music of his native Armenia. Tigran is one of the most remarkable and distinctive jazz-meets-rock pianists of his generation. Tigran’s fresh sound is marked by an exploration of time signatures, charged dynamics, the shifting between acoustic and electric modes of expression, all undergirded by an affinity to the grind of heavy metal. Born in Gyumri, Armenia, in 1987, Tigran grew up in a household that was full of music—his father more of a rock fan while his uncle was a huge jazz buff. When he was just a toddler, Tigran gravitated to tape players and the piano instead of regular childhood toys, and by the time he was 3, he was working his way through figuring out songs on piano by the Beatles, Louis Armstrong, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Queen. His jazz tastes early on were informed by Miles Davis’s fusion period, and then around the age of 10 when his family moved to Yerevan, he came to discover the classic jazz songbook under the aegis of his teacher Vahag Hayrapetyan, who had studied with Barry Harris. Tigran chose to study music. While he studied classical music at an Armenian high school geared toward music studies, Tigran continued to grow on his own as a jazz pianist.

  • Le Jazz Et L'orient
    Classe de Terminale Option Facultative Baccalauréats 2015 et 2016 Le Jazz et l’Orient Programme officiel : Les cinq pièces présentées ci-dessous forment un des trois ensembles du programme limitatif du baccalauréat. Chacune évoque de façon singulière le dialogue des cultures, celles de l’Orient et du bassin méditerranéen et celles du jazz occidental, lui-même issu d’une histoire partant de l’Afrique noire et passant par l’Amérique du nord avant d’investir la globalité du monde occidental. La durée cumulée exceptionnellement longue de ces cinq pièces s’explique par l’esthétique même des cultures dont elles sont issues. Si les formes sont le plus souvent simples, le discours mélodique, le travail du phrasé ou encore l’ornementation exigent quant à eux un temps important pour se développer et permettre à l’auditeur d’en prendre la mesure. Les quatre problématiques du programme de terminale (l’œuvre et son organisation, l’œuvre et ses pratiques, l’œuvre et l’histoire, l’œuvre, la musique et les autres arts) pourront aisément être mobilisées pour réfléchir ces musiques, mesurer leur originalité et développer des pratiques musicales originales. Les œuvres : • Ibrahim Maalouf, They don’t care about us, in album Diagnostic • Rabih Abou-Khalil, Mourir pour ton décolleté, in album Songs for Sad Women • Avishai Cohen, Aurora, in album Aurora • Jasser Haj Youssef, Friggya, in album Sira • Marcel Khalifé, Caress, in album Caress Plan du cours : Cours 1 : Le Jazz et ses caractéristiques musicales Cours 2 : L’Art de l’Orient Cours 3 : L’Orient et la Musique Cours 4 : Ibrahim Maalouf, They don’t care about us Cours 5 : Rabih Abou-Khalil, Mourir pour ton décolleté Cours 6 : Avishai Cohen, Aurora Cours 7 : Jasser Haj Youssef, Friggya Cours 8 : Marcel Khalifé, Caress Le Jazz et l’Orient Page !1 sur !26 Mathias Charton Classe de Terminale Option Facultative Cours 2 : L’Art de l’Orient 1.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Guided Tour
    13/14 Season SEP-DEC Ted Kurland Associates Kurland Ted The New Gary Burton Quartet 70th Birthday Concert with Gary Burton Vibraphone Julian Lage Guitar Scott Colley Bass Antonio Sanchez Percussion PROGRAM There will be no intermission. Set list will be announced from stage. Sunday, October 6 at 7 PM Zellerbach Theatre The Annenberg Center's Jazz Series is funded in part by the Brownstein Jazz Fund and the Philadelphia Fund For Jazz Legacy & Innovation of The Philadelphia Foundation and Philadelphia Jazz Project: a project of the Painted Bride Art Center. Media support for the 13/14 Jazz Series provided by WRTI and City Paper. 10 | ABOUT THE ARTISTS Gary Burton (Vibraphone) Born in 1943 and raised in Indiana, Gary Burton taught himself to play the vibraphone. At the age of 17, Burton made his recording debut in Nashville with guitarists Hank Garland and Chet Atkins. Two years later, Burton left his studies at Berklee College of Music to join George Shearing and Stan Getz, with whom he worked from 1964 to 1966. As a member of Getz's quartet, Burton won Down Beat Magazine's “Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition” award in 1965. By the time he left Getz to form his own quartet in 1967, Burton had recorded three solo albums. Borrowing rhythms and sonorities from rock music, while maintaining jazz's emphasis on improvisation and harmonic complexity, Burton's first quartet attracted large audiences from both sides of the jazz-rock spectrum. Such albums as Duster and Lofty Fake Anagram established Burton and his band as progenitors of the jazz fusion phenomenon.

Susan Yeah, well, my heart wants to hurt you, but I'm able to control myself! How would you feel if I used your child support payments for plastic surgery?

Today I have a chance to join the human rac e for a few hours there are actual adults waiting for me with margaritas. Loo k, I'm in a dress, I have makeup on. We didn't exactly forget.

Designed and built in-house by our staff of engineers, this robotic “Drum Machine,” called the Gluing Gantry, ensures that every Evans head has a true collar. A series of vacuum fixtures holds the film in place for each head while the robotic gluing arm circles above the hoop and dispenses epoxy. The result is a drumhead that tunes both easily and consistently. At Evans, we do it right the first time. And every time. Check out what Peter Erskine has to say about Evans drumheads at www.evansdrumheads.com PO Box 290 • Farmingdale, NY 11735 We’ve been making the world’s finest sticks for years. And experience tells us that there are no shortcuts when it comes to making a stick. There is, however a very good short- cut when choosing one. The journey from wooden dowel to finished drumstick is a tough one. Each stick makes its way through the hands of several craftsmen before it leaves us. And at every test, there’s always the chance of getting turned into firewood. But it does get easier when our sticks reach the store. Because once you feel a pair in your hands, you’ll appreciate the time it spent in ours.
