To say that they were waiting, the Echoes of Spring , released on the label of the young pianist Edouard Ferlet , Melissa, about the Harlem stride piano, after the happiness felt in concert: the program of the two great pianists, François Raulinand Stephan Oliva , turned into effect in a number of festivals since its inception in Grenoble in March 2006. Thanks to the network so AFIJMA have supported and carried such a creation in the various festivals of Bordeaux to Nevers, program which have evolved over time and gain fluency. No current pianist is probably able to play as James P. Johnson , true "tickler" evil ticklers key. Starting from ragtime, but also inspired by the great Romantic composers like Liszt, he hoisted above the style he invented, the stride , where the left hand is powerful and metronomic while the right goes up in refinement improvisation and ornamentation. Fats Waller, Oscar Peterson, Earl Hines, Count Basie, Art Tatum, Duke Ellington , Monk ... all modern pianists would pay tribute tostride , be inspired while diverting.
This music full of polyrhythms and reefs is a real challenge, a recreation of every moment, very elaborate despite the apparent fluidity, simmering subtlety of certain passages, the other filament. It was seasoned musicians to make this tradition alive. The quintet of Raulin and Oliva, whose musicians have long known, is the ideal training: the energies released will always deploy generously. Nothing more beautiful than the work of arrangement and intelligent complementarity of the two pianists who play all registers; nothing more disturbing than sweet counterpoints blowers, unite their sensual. Monniot Christophe plays all saxophones, the sharp angle between the gap and the arabesque, cuddly baritone, fiery alto, sopranino to the flickering . As for the clarinetist Lawrence Outside , it is one of the few to be able to balance its cheeky turbulence, sometimes exceeded its rowdy stridency, including the well because they practice both the "lag ear" while Sébastien Boisseau provides only a rhythmic Burning bass. The program starts with a bang on with the truculent "Carolina Shout" by James P. Johnson, the workhorse reminiscent of banjo drilled on "piano rolls" from 1918. Then it's delicious "Morning Air" Willie The Lion Smith , musician steeped in Chopin and Rachmaninoff who loved embroidery precious melodies with a sense of color which is found in Duke Ellington [ 1 ]. In fact, it should list all the songs, the assembly is very convincing.
Changes tones, breaks the alarming climate "A Child of Disordered Mind" (a solo 's Earl Hines (1940), beautifully rearranged by Oliva) or bright roughness of "Boogie Woogie on St. Louis Blues" dedicated to the same Earl Hines. We listen to a stroke this time music loudly seasons - breakaway "Is not Misbehaving" by Fats Waller reviewed by Raulin, ripping blues "Aunt Hagar's Blues" introduces bass and clarinet, or the final played four hands, "Fast and Furious" as in the time of Duke and Billy Stayhorn. But how not to be moved to listen to "Flashes / In the Dark" by Bix Beiderbecke , or "In A Mist", only written for the piano by the young white cornetist Davenport (Iowa) composition? "A guy who had the atmosphere in the fingers" said Boris Vian . A visionary melody in many ways, where pianists find unusual agreements, a penchant for the phrase in arabesque. As for the title composition, "Echoes of Spring", it illuminates its melancholy sweetness that jazz of the past, the quintet has managed to make incredibly current. This fragile melody of January 1939, including the arrangement of François Raulin has kept the harmonies and swinging the left hand, also reminds us that the poet TS Eliot that sometimes the spring is not synonymous with renewal and that "April is the month Cruellest" ...Translate by google ~ Sophie Chambon http://www.citizenjazz.com/Francois-Raulin-Stephan-Oliva.html
