With more than 25 albums to his credit, Evans has become the model of a fiercely independent artist who's made a habit of rattling the jazz world's confining cages. That determination has paid off in accolades like topping the "Rising Star Pianist" category in the 2018 DownBeat Critics Poll and two Grammy nominations. As a daring pianist, Evans combines raw-edged vigor and left-field nuance into a sound wholly his own. This week, on...

JAZZ по-русскиLisa Hilton • Coincidental Moment © 2023 Lisa Hilton & Ruby Slippers Productions #loungeМне нравится, как джаз воздействует на наши эмоции так, как никакая другая музыка не может: он может легко успокоить вашу душу или побудить вас танцевать, - заявляет композитор и пианистка Lisa Hilton в аннотации к своему новому альбому Coincidental Moment. Музыка здесь отражает энергию и историю кул-джаза, но определенно звучит по современному. Девять оригинальных композиций и две кавер-мелодии пронизаны насыщенными холодными тонами, дополненными ладовыми полетами, все они мерцают и свингуют под выразительным прикосновением пианистки к игре на фортепиано. Состав квартета уже знакомый и похож на предыдущий альбом More Than Anothe Day, который я обозревал. Но, здесь есть звуки замечательной трубы, держит которую Igmar Thomas. И это напоминает Майлза Дэвиса, кавер которого есть на альбоме. Если честно, не думал услышать от ребят аранжировку самого крутого его альбома Kind Of Blue, который наверняка есть в коллекции каждого джаз-мена. Явно женский взгляд на эту тему заслуживает внимания, но оригиналы, написанные автором, не менее интересны. И если альбом начинается с латинских ритмов, то дальше слышны модальные аккорды, бибоп и разумеется уже упомянутый кул-джаз. В общем я назвал это лаунджем, который преобладает в этом альбоме и мне бы очень хотелось слушать такие приятные композиции в ресторане, на берегу моря, и не только. А еще она просто красавица и обложка именно такая, как мне нравится - это автор и инструмент. © 2023 Lisa Hilton & Ruby Slippers Productions Igmar Thomas - trumpet Luques Curtis - bass Rudy Royston - drums Lisa Hilton - piano СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1706162632 ПРЕДЫДУЩИЙ АЛЬБОМ - https://t.me/discor/5921 Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 7 на AppleMusic и Spotify Поставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor #lounge

JAZZ по-русскиHarold López-Nussa • Timba a la Americana ©️ 2023 Blue Note #latinjazzПианист Harold Lopez-Nussa первую победу получил на престижном конкурсе джазовых пианистов в Монтрё в 2005 году. Он выпустил девять альбомов и его музыка отражает весь спектр и богатство кубинских музыкальных традиций с характерным сочетанием классических, фольклорных и популярных элементов. Дебютный альбом Timba a la Americana на лейбле Blue Note, вдохновленный недавним переездом во Францию. Это, как будто я думаю о Кубе издалека, – объясняет Гарольд. У меня были вызовы новой жизни, было много новизны, но я все равно хотел, чтобы музыка звучала как там, даже если меня там нет. Я помню родину, друзей и музыку, которую мы создавали там. Во время игры я подумал, что нам нужно перейти на очень медленную румбу, особый ритм, который я слышал всю свою жизнь. Это импульс из района где я родился - это религия, праздники, церемонии и вечеринки. Медленный ритм для пожилых людей, чтобы они могли танцевать. Во мне это пробуждает, что-то глубокое и меланхоличное. Это румба - часть чего-то древнего. ©️ 2023 Blue Note Продюсер Michael League (Snarky Puppy) 10 динамичных композиций с участием виртуоза губной гармошки Grégoire Maret Luques Curtis на басу Bárbaro ‘Machito’ Crespo на конгах и родной брат Ruy Adrián López-Nussa на барабанах СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1689333711 СМОТРЕТЬ - https://youtu.be/Hzm-EyYMhQo?si=GiGFDh60EskeysgZ Предыдущий альбом TE LO DIJE - https://t.me/discor/5722 Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 7 на AppleMusic и Spotify Поставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor #latinjazz #contemporaryjazz

Evans upholds that reputation on his 20th album, Magic of Now (Smoke Sessions), on which he helms a multi-generational A-list quartet through an eight-piece program that exemplifies state-of-the-art modern jazz.

JAZZ по-русскиLisa Hilton • More Than Another Day®️2020 #jazz #lounge😻Цитаты интервью на альбом More Than Another Day композитора, продюсера и пианистки Lisa Hilton: 😻Мы раньше не были в пандемии и я действительно не знала, что смогу создать во время кризиса. Но недавно прочитала биографию Fryderyk Chopin by Alan Walker. Он продолжал сочинять во время холеры 1932 года в Париже и это вдохновило меня. Тяжелые времена могут быть продуктивными и суматоха стимулировать творчество. Когда вы читаете биографии музыкантов, кажется, что именно трудная - нестандартная жизнь способствовала их творчеству. На ум приходят имена: Monk, Cannonball и Jaco. 😻Когда сочиняю я не знаю, какая будет тональность, размер, a просто позволяю мелодии развиваться, и после того, как появляется тема, которая мне нравится, быстро записываю ее на компьютер. Я никогда не сочиняю музыку на чью-то книгу, стихи или рассказ, и не загадываю написать в определенной тональности. Я просто позволяю музыке выходить беспрепятственно, а потом, анализирую и работаю с ней. Luques Curtis-bass Rudy Royston-drums #jazz
