¿Quién Dice Que Segundas Partes Nunca Son Buenas? Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Image not found or type unknown Danny Seraphine, uno de los fundadores de Chicago, y baterista en la actualidad de California Transit Authority. Autor: theiridium.com Publicado: 21/09/2017 | 05:55 pm ¿Quién dice que segundas partes nunca son buenas? Publicado: Miércoles 03 septiembre 2014 | 10:47:11 pm. Publicado por: Joaquín Borges-Triana Hace poco, y gracias a mi nuevo hermano Ricardo Castillo, he iniciado amistad con una encantadora muchacha, economista de profesión pero de gran sensibilidad hacia el arte y la literatura. Un poco en broma y otro tanto en serio, mi amiga me ha rebautizado como Viejito JB. Si bien tal apelativo no me molesta, de cuando en vez le recuerdo que, como diría la canción tema de un antiguo programa televisivo, «joven ha de ser quien lo quiera ser». Lo de poseer juventud acumulada tiene sus ventajas, sobre todo en lo relacionado con el tema al que me he dedicado como profesional durante años. He escuchado tanta y tanta música por mi edad, trabajo y afición, que ello me permite establecer comparaciones entre propuestas del presente con otras del pasado. Justo eso es lo que me sucede con California Transit Authority (CTA), una de las agrupaciones que más disfruto desde su aparición con el disco Full circle. Este grupo suena como debería haberlo hecho Chicago, si no se hubiesen apartado de la línea estilística con la que se dieron a conocer en los tempranos años 70 del pasado siglo, y con la que marcaron pauta en la música de todo el mundo. Uno de los fundadores y bateristas de lo que de inicio se llamó Chicago Transit Authority (reducido luego solo a Chicago) fue Danny Seraphine, expulsado de la agrupación en 1990. Tras 15 años de casi nula actividad (esta clase de músicos se puede dar ese lujo, pues por lo general son millonarios), Danny fue convencido por el guitarrista Marc Bonilla para que saliera del retiro que se había impuesto y así dar vida a una nueva banda. De tal modo fue que surgió CTA, con la idea de revivir el espíritu y la alegría que prevalecían en el primer repertorio de Chicago. La ópera prima del proyecto naciente fue el mencionado CD Full circle, un disco en el que rock, soul, jazz y mucha bomba (como se diría en el argot de los músicos) se mezclan para dar como resultado un muy atractivo material. Era lógico que el álbum recibiese una favorable acogida pues, junto a los mencionados Seraphine y Bonilla, en la grabación intervinieron instrumentistas de la talla de Ed Roth, Peter Fish y Mick Mahan, así como Keith Emerson, Brandon Fields, Nick Lane, Lee Thornburg y Alex Acuña, entre otros invitados. Si bien es cierto que Full circle nos presentó a un Danny Seraphine rejuvenecido y con muchas ganas de hacer música de altos valores, también resulta verdad que, como propuesta para el mercado, el álbum se planificó para ir al seguro. Y esto lo digo no solo por la excelente nómina de instrumentistas que participaron, sino sobre todo por la concepción manejada para la selección del repertorio del disco. En él se echó mano a varias viejas y exitosas piezas de Chicago, como por ejemplo, Introduction, South California Purples, Make Me Smile, West Virginia Fantasies, Colour My World, Happy Cause I´m Going Home, Mississippi Delta Blues, I´m a Man (notable cover hecho por Chicago a un original de The Spencer Davis Group) y 25 or 6 to 4, en la condición de Bonus Track. La segunda producción fonográfica de CTA, es decir, Sacred Ground, para mi gusto constituye un trabajo más llamativo que su ópera prima, no porque aquella estuviese carente de atractivos, ¡nada de eso! Lo que ocurre es que en este otro álbum, Danny Seraphine y Marc Bonilla (los cerebros del ensamble) apuestan por un espíritu de mayor creatividad. De tal suerte, disfrutamos de un repertorio en el que en ocho de los 14 temas registrados, Marc es autor o coautor, a lo cual une que las formidables orquestaciones del CD corren a su cargo. Aunque todo el disco me resulta estupendo, es obvio que en él hay cortes que son mis favoritos. Tales son los casos de los instrumentales In the kitchen (con la intervención de nuestro compatriota Luis Conte en la percusión cubana), original de Peter Fish, y Primetime, escrito por Bonilla, Seraphine, el teclista Ed Roth y el bajista Mick Mahan. Sobresalen también un par de covers, I Love You More Than You´ll Ever Know, compuesto por Al Kooper para el primer disco de Blood, Sweat and Tears, y Take Me Back To Chicago, original de Seraphine cuando era miembro de Chicago. Álbum sencillamente maravilloso, Sacred Ground, de CTA, que marca otro hito en la historia del jazz rock y corrobora que a veces segundas partes sí pueden ser buenas. http://www.juventudrebelde.cu/columnas/los-que-sonamos/2014-09-03/quien-dice-que-segundas-partes-nunca- son-buenas Juventud Rebelde | Diario de la juventud cubana Copyright © 2017 Juventud Rebelde.

He was friends Iwith my teacher Al Miller, and we would go to see Buddy Rich perform backstage. Jim would tell me what Buddy was doing and an- alyze it to the slightest movement. My visit with the “Chapin Magic” started. Jim was always so sharing with his hard-earned knowledge. He simply taught the best drummers in the 20th century and was work- ing on the 21st century. His books, CDs and DVD is a university of information; owning them all is a must! I have learned from him, taught with him, performed with him and even played for him while he sang. He loved life and music equally. I am a better person for having experienced the “Chapin Mag- ic!” He was called the Father of Drumming Independence. How ironic of him to pass away on July 4th, America’s Independence. Jim will live long in his contributions ... I ask the future generations of drummers to continue in seeking out the wealth of sharing that Jim gave us. Now on the 4th of July, look up at the fireworks and cel- ebrate the magic of Jim Chapin!

    1 Back to Chicago rom the time my parents brought me home from Oak Park F Hospital in the late summer of 1948, I was a wild child with a constant need for movement. I had a tendency to run toward the fl ame. The sound of a fi re engine siren was the fi rst thing to catch my ear. Whenever one of the trucks came screaming through our neighborhood of New Little Italy, I waddled out the front door after it as fast as my short legs would take me. My mother was usually able to catch me before I made it to the street, but occa- sionally I slipped out without her noticing. One time I was found by a ChicagoCOPYRIGHTED police offi cer almost a mileMATERIAL away from our house! Needless to say, my parents were horrifi ed. New Little Italy was an overfl ow of sorts for Chicago ’ s Little Italy, a twelve - block stretch around Taylor Street. It was a typi- cal Italian neighborhood: the houses were on the small side and packed close together. Families could smell what their neighbors were cooking in the kitchen and hear what they talked about at the dinner table. 5 CCH001.inddH001.indd 5 99/7/10/7/10 99:33:06:33:06 AAMM 6 danny seraphine My father, John Seraphine, met my mother, Mary, shortly after he returned home from a stint as an MP in the army during World War II.

  • LEONID and FRIENDS PERFORMING the MUSIC of CHICAGO at the FLORIDA THEATRE on OCTOBER 3, 2021 Tickets Are on Sale Now
    LEONID AND FRIENDS PERFORMING THE MUSIC OF CHICAGO AT THE FLORIDA THEATRE ON OCTOBER 3, 2021 Tickets Are On Sale Now Jacksonville, Fla. (May 28, 2021) –The Florida Theatre is pleased to announce the return of Leonid and Friends performing the music of Chicago on Sunday, October 3, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. With multiple sold-out U.S. tours under its belt and hundreds of thousands of fans around the world, Leonid & Friends continues to astound its global audience with its unique ability in capturing the spirit, musicality, and fire of American supergroup Chicago. And what is even more stunning is that Leonid & Friends, comprised of 11 of the finest musicians in Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus, haven't seen Chicago perform live, yet replicates the band’s complex arrangements amazingly note for note. Chicago has never been in Russia, and none of us have attended their concerts," said Leonid Vorobyev, a multi - instrumentalist who is the band’s leader. " We have only recordings and videos (to help us l earn Chicago songs)." Ironically, Vorobyev wasn’t always a fan of horn bands, and as a teenager gravitated to the hard-driving guitar-based sounds of the Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Deep Purple, and Grand Funk Railroad. " In the early 1970s in the USSR, electric guitars, amplifiers, and drums were rare to find so at school we were playing self-made instruments," Vorobyev explained. " We were allowed to rehearse in the same room with a horns band. Those musicians almost always were drunk and quite often tried to play with us our rock songs.
