" Life - wrote Vinicius de Moraes - is the art of encounter ". Philology dedicates a good part of its rich and varied catalog to this art. The label of Piangiarelli has always offered meetings, more or less occasional, of unpublished ensembles: musical stories of a single day. On the other hand this poetic precariousness is one of the foundations of jazz and of all music based on improvisation ..Phil Woods , eponymous deity of the Italian label, was obviously the protagonist of many of these "meet and say goodbye". In May 2000 , in five days, he recorded seven of these discs. One of these is "Encontro (on Jobim)" recorded, in a single afternoon, with Irio De Paula .C hi looking for new musical paths in operations of this kind would obviously be disappointed. The two musicians could only work on popular and popular songs: Jobim songs , and among the most well-known, or standard, so to speak, very " busy " as " Autumn Leaves ". N Despite this, the final result is very good. De Paula's guitar and Woods's clarinet dialogue in the quiet and rarefied atmospheres of bossa nova. Softly, with melancholy elegance and poetic disenchantment. Come to mind, listening to the melodic digressions of the two, the verses of Vinicius (Ancora he) dedicated to the samba, which is a direct ancestor of the bossa " To make good samba we need a bit of melancholy (a bocado de tristezza), ... it is the sadness made dance, it is white with skin in the poem, but it is black at the bottom of the heart ". Spleen Anglo-Saxon, Brazilian saudade, subtle mal of Africa. There is all this in the brief meeting of these two musicians, whose extraordinary qualities do not even mention: there would only come out banality.A record that will not enter the jazz legend, but to be heard often. Especially when you want something that is beautiful without being demanding. A disc, like certain wines, for meditation.
