O Sister! Is a Tribute to the North American Popular Music from the 1920S and 30S, and in Particular, to the Golden Ages of “Dixie” and “Swing” The New Jazz Age O Sister! is a tribute to the North American popular music from the 1920s and 30s, and in particular, to the golden ages of “Dixie” and “Swing”. The Boswell Sisters, the band’s main artistic influence, were a ground- breaking female vocal jazz trio perhaps not as popular as they deserved to be, in spite of being imitated by many later vocal jazz groups and admired by artists as important as Ella Fitzgerald herself. It was the surprisingly modern way, despite the years gone by, in which The Boswell Sisters approached the use of harmony, rhythm and vocal resources that encouraged singer Paula Padilla to start the project in 2007. Since then the band has focused mainly on two lines of work: researching a relatively unknown repertoire from the early stages of jazz, of great interest both for its melodic qualities and for its lyrics; and arranging with vocal harmonies the“standard” songs and classics from the Golden Age of Swing which cannot be found in three voice-part versions on recordings. But none of this work would make sense without offering this music in live performance, the way it took place back in the 30s, in theatres, clubs, or even in the street. O Sister! updates that style and brings it to wider audiences, not only to the usual jazz connoisseur, recuperating an open, spontaneous, direct and fun way of understanding the musical experience; so necessary nowadays, when the social situation too easily reminds us of life during the famous Great Depression. The Singers Helena, Paula and Marcos have spent many years singing together in various vocal and choral ensembles. During this time they have developed a solid vocal technique and an ease for blending their voices. In both joint and individual projects they have tackled repertoires ranging from Early to Contemporary music, lyric, jazz, bossa or pop-rock music. The three currently also form part of Proyecto Ele, a voice and electronics ens- emble exploring modern vocal and experimental music, with a long list of shows and performances.

Thus, the re- cording process has always been carried out strictly live, with all musicians playing at the same time and in the same room, in the pure early style of recording. In doing so, O Sister! tries to catch in their albums the same freshness and spontaneity that they deliver in their concerts. The band has released three albums under the label Discóbolo: “Crazy People”, “Shout Sister!”, and “Spooky Sessions”; all of which were recorded and mixed at producer and musician Jordi Gil’s Sputnik studio in Seville. On these albums, the ensemble has enjoyed the contributions of excellent musicians such as pianist Ángel Andrés Muñoz (a regular collaborator), clarinet player Juli Aymí, trumpet player Dani Cano or manouche guitarist Paul Laborda, among many others. Spooky Sessions (2014) This EP captures some live performances carried out at the “Sputnik” studio, showing the ease of the group to connect with the audience. Conceived around a range of “sinister” topics, these sessions contain songs where humour and terror blend together. They include among other curiosities the track “Raska-yú”, the first song they record in Spanish. The closing track “Cryin’ Blues” also stands out, recorded in a way totally diffe- rent to the band’s regular procedures, this time with the elements on separate tracks, capturing a playful and somewhat histrionic rendering of one of the Boswell Sisters’ first compositions. Shout Sister! (2012) The band’s second album shows a clear evolution in their sound and a refined work on harmonies and arrangements, adapting classics like “Puttin’ on the Ritz”, “Anything Goes” or the delicate “Dream a little Dream of Me” into very personal renderings with three voice part close-harmonies and incorporating new elements that define a style of their own. Crazy People (2009) The first O Sister! album was recorded in the purest 1920’s way, using solely two twin microphones placed in the middle of the recording room to capture the sound of singers and musicians, all placed strategically around them. This CD offers a collection of Boswell Sisters songs and includes a very personal version of Duke Ellington’s classic “It Don’t Mean a Thing”. It also has rarities as the special appearances of a marching band on the song “Alexander’s Ragtime Band”, and a string quartet on “Stardust”. - 3 - The Critics “O Sister!

Europa Press. Ignacio Serrano. ABC. The Boswell Connection During recent years, O Sister! has been in touch with close relatives of the New Orleans trio The Boswell Sisters as well as other people who knew them and strive to preserve their legacy. As a result of that rapport and in acknowledgement of O Sister!’s work in keeping the Boswell spirit alive, the band received an unexpec- ted surprise that embarked them upon one of the most rewarding challenges of their career. In 2012 the Boswell Sisters’ heirs sent O Sister! the sheet music sketch of an unfinished and unrecorded piece by the Sisters with their permission and encouragement to bring it to life. Starting from just a fragment of melody and lyrics, O Sister! developed a song structure, composed a new section, and arranged the song for their own format.

Contact: [email protected] Journal of Jazz Studies vol. 11, no. 2, pp. 29-77 (2016) Flamenco Jazz: An Analytical Study Peter Manuel Since the 1990s, the hybrid genre of flamenco jazz has emerged as a dynamic and original entity in the realm of jazz, Spanish music, and the world music scene as a whole. Building on inherent compatibilities between jazz and flamenco, a generation of versatile Spanish musicians has synthesized the two genres in a wide variety of forms, creating in the process a coherent new idiom that can be regarded as a sort of mainstream flamenco jazz style. A few of these performers, such as pianist Chano Domínguez and wind player Jorge Pardo, have achieved international acclaim and become luminaries on the Euro-jazz scene. Indeed, flamenco jazz has become something of a minor bandwagon in some circles, with that label often being adopted, with or without rigor, as a commercial rubric to promote various sorts of productions (while conversely, some of the genre’s top performers are indifferent to the label 1). Meanwhile, however, as increasing numbers of gifted performers enter the field and cultivate genuine and substantial syntheses of flamenco and jazz, the new genre has come to merit scholarly attention for its inherent vitality, richness, and significance in the broader jazz world.

    Rethinking Tradition: Towards an Ethnomusicology of Contemporary Flamenco Guitar NAME: Francisco Javier Bethencourt Llobet FULL TITLE AND SUBJECT Doctor of Philosophy. Doctorate in Music. OF DEGREE PROGRAMME: School of Arts and Cultures. SCHOOL: Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Newcastle University. SUPERVISOR: Dr. Nanette De Jong / Dr. Ian Biddle WORD COUNT: 82.794 FIRST SUBMISSION (VIVA): March 2011 FINAL SUBMISSION (TWO HARD COPIES): November 2011 Abstract: This thesis consists of four chapters, an introduction and a conclusion. It asks the question as to how contemporary guitarists have negotiated the relationship between tradition and modernity. In particular, the thesis uses primary fieldwork materials to question some of the assumptions made in more ‘literary’ approaches to flamenco of so-called flamencología . In particular, the thesis critiques attitudes to so-called flamenco authenticity in that tradition by bringing the voices of contemporary guitarists to bear on questions of belonging, home, and displacement. The conclusion, drawing on the author’s own experiences of playing and teaching flamenco in the North East of England, examines some of the ways in which flamenco can generate new and lasting communities of affiliation to the flamenco tradition and aesthetic.

  • Gerardo Nuñez Chano Dominguez
    GERARDO NUÑEZ CHANO DOMINGUEZ JAZZPAÑA II Gerardo Nuñez - Chano Dominguez Jorge Pardo - Perico Sambeat Tino Di Geraldo - Esperanza Fernandez Renaud Garcia-Fons - Fareed Haque special guest: Michael Brecker ACT 9284-2 Release Date Germany: September 2000 Jazz and flamenco? At first glance these are two worlds that have nothing to do with each other. At a closer look there emerge numerous striking parallels. Jazz is considered by many to be the music of the 20th century. Although it has seldom been a music for the masses, it has contributed to and had a lasting influence on virtually every form of popular music. Flamenco has had a similar influence on Iberian music. They say that the cradle of jazz lies in the hot and humid climate of the Mississippi Delta, in the mystery-shrouded city of New Orleans. When you separate jazz's various forms, you find rhythms and melodies from Africa and the Caribbean, Old World harmonies, even syncopation from the Scottish Highlands. Flamenco is one of the oldest known forms of folk music in Europe. Within it are a mixture of old Iberian, Jewish, Moorish, Arabic, Byzantine and last, even Indian colors; the Gypsies or Gitanos, as they are called in Spain, acknowledge their origins to be within the enormous Asiatic realm. They came to Spain in the 15th century where they had a lasting influence on the culture, although they remained a hunted and oppressed minority. In its present form flamenco is approximately 100 years old, as is jazz. Their emotional similarities are easy to detect: neither music functions without passion, without inner fire.

While centred on the process of fusion and crossover it also explores through music the characteristics and implications that nuevo flamenco and its discourses have impinged on related issues as Gypsy identity and cultural authenticity.

La conocida frase atribuida a Felipe Pedrell, Lo poco que sabemos lo sabemos entre todos, sería suficiente por sí misma para comprender lo que ha supuesto este trabajo. Resulta difícil poder citar aquí a todos aquellos con los que he contado para poder llevar a término el presente estudio. Por sus características, al ser en su mayor parte un trabajo de campo dada la escasa documentación bibliográfica y la dificultad de obtenerla, he recurrido a muchas personas particulares o pertenecientes a entidades para ir recopilando las piezas con las que confeccionar este incompleto puzzle. En unos casos piezas grandes, verdaderos tesoros, recuerdos guardados por los protagonistas de esta historia o sus descendentes, fotografías, recortes de prensa, programas de conciertos, etc. En otras, piezas más pequeñas, pocos datos aproximados o concretos, nombres, fechas, referencias de conciertos, teléfonos, direcciones de contacto o simplemente pistas donde seguir buscando. Cada cual, en su medida, ha hecho un aporte importantísimo. Entre ellos se encuentran: Jesús Moreira, hijo de Antonio Moreira director y fundador de la orquesta Radio de Vigo, Carlos Martín Ballester por sus grabaciones históricas de Aquilino el negro, José Susi, saxofonista y compositor, Manuel Fernández director general de Primus S.L, Véronique Lucasa Sallé y Nobel Thierry de la casa Selmer-París, Paula Bas Garraus hija del saxofonista Vlady Bas, Olga Sánchez Huedo autora de la tesis: La Banda Municipal de música de Albacete: desde sus orígenes hasta la primera década del siglo XX.

  • Sabrina Lastman Quintet
    SABRINA LASTMAN QUINTET The Sabrina Lastman Quintet (SLQ) is a creative musical project that brings together jazz, South American rhythms and experimental music. This project reflects the many influences that Sabrina has experienced while living in her home country Uruguay, in Israel, and in New York City. The SLQ plays original compositions, and arrangements of music by Latin American composers such as Egberto Gismonti (Brazil) and Rubén Rada (Uruguay), being some of her compositions inspired by the poetry of renowned South American writers. She brings those experiences – so far away from each other – to an artistic unity, showing that cultural bridges can be built. As a vocalist, Sabrina expands the possibilities of the voice, finding a rich variety of sonorities, colors, and textures. Sabrina sings in Spanish and Portuguese, keeping in each language a deep meaning of text and voice quality. In her music and singing can be found influences from classical music, avant-garde, Spanish, jazz and Latin American music. The project has played in venues such as Blue Note, Blues Alley Jazz, Joe's Pub, Chase Latino Festival, Museo del Barrio Summer Festival, DROM, and Cornelia Street Cafe, among others. Sabrina represented Uruguay in the Latin Jazz Series at Blues Alley Jazz, sharing the festival with musicians such as Airto Moreira and Flora Purim. The SLQ is formed by first class musicians with a wide experience and an impressive career of their own: Sabrina Lastman (voice & compositions), GRAMMY Award Nominee maestro Emilio Solla (piano & arrangements), Meg Okura (violin & erhu), Edward Perez (double bass), and David Silliman (drums & percussions).
