JAZZ по-русскиSteve Fidyk Live Wire Broad Band • Red Beats ©️ 2023 Blue Canteen Music #bigbandНазвание альбома RED BEATS барабанщика Steve Fidyk имеет двойной смысл. Прежде всего это множество музыкальных стилей - straight-ahead, #swing, #funk, up-tempo swing и афро-кубинские ритмы, а также композиции, аранжировки и приглашенные солисты - горячие, то есть красные.
И более серьезное значение названия относится к совместной работе в сообществах помогающим детям. Часть выручки от каждого проданного диска пойдет на помощь некоммерческой организации No Kid Hungry.
Предыдущий альбом этого джазмена был совершенно другой. Здесь мы слышим два состава Steve Fidyk Live Wire Broad Band. Поражает разнообразность не только стилей и инструментов, но и аранжировок, которые сделаны разными участниками. Aвтор же всех композиций является лидер.
Играя в биг-бэнде, я стараюсь, чтобы все части аранжировки удобно сочетались друг с другом, сохраняя ритмическую последовательность и динамическую значимость каждой из них. Это как играть одновременно с 16 метрономами, настроенными на разные темпы, - сказал автор.
