Luís Ribeiro - A Invenção da Ficção [2023]

DESCARGA (320 Kbps)

One moment nothing. On the other everything. All possibilities, all journeys, all versions of reality.

One moment silence. On the other music.

The initial premise of this work was the moment of the first step.

Is the first note correct? Is the first story true? Is the first improvisation fair?

Doubts that disappear immediately because the songs emancipate themselves. grow up quickly and escape our control. A control that never existed in the first place.

This work was written in two weeks at the beginning of the pandemic, at a time when the world stopped and I walked. It is the result of my partnership with five majestic musicians who shared my vision and who shone it with their light. It is the result of dawns, of stages, of conversations, of a life steeped in music.

One moment a blank page. On the other a drip of paint fell.

Num momento nada. No outro tudo. Todas as possibilidades, todas as viagens, todas as

versões da realidade.

Num momento silêncio. No outro música.

A premissa inicial deste trabalho foi o momento do primeiro passo.

A primeira nota é a correcta? A primeira história é a verdadeira? O primeiro improviso é o justo?

Dúvidas que se esfumam imediatamente porque as músicas emancipam-se. Crescem rapidamente e fogem do nosso controlo. Um controlo que nunca existe.

Este trabalho foi escrito em duas semanas no inicio da pandemia, numa altura em que o mundo

parou e eu andei. É resultado da minha parceria com cinco músicos majestosos que

partilharam a minha visão e que a encandearam com a sua luz. É o resultado de madrugadas,

de palcos, de conversas, de uma vida cravada na música.

Num momento uma página em branco. No outro uma pinga de tinta caiu.

BELÍSSIMO DISCO. VIVAMENTE RECOMENDADO

Dança dos Desastrados on The Best Jazz on Bandcamp: June 2021» - «On Dança dos Desastrados, every note, every beat has a melodic perspective in mind. This is not a new thing for Miguel Ângelo. The bassist has a talent for establishing epic dialogues on the strength of his flowing melodic statements.» @ Bandcamp by Dave Sumner

SOBRE

Depois de ter lançado “BRANCO", o álbum de estreia do grupo, em 2013, e o disco “A VIDA DE X”, em 2016, o Quarteto, liderado pelo contrabaixista e compositor Miguel Ângelo, promove, agora, o terceiro trabalho do grupo - “DANÇA DOS DESASTRADOS".

Mantendo a formação em quarteto com os seus habituais companheiros - João Guimarães no Sax Alto, Joaquim Rodrigues no Piano e Marcos Cavaleiro na Bateria -, o novo álbum é a continuidade do trabalho e da maturação do compositor e do grupo, que se apresenta mais criativo, inspirado e maturado.

Baseado em possíveis Danças Tradicionais, reais ou imaginárias, esta é a proposta do grupo de música para escutar, sentir e dançar, mesmo para os mais “desastrados”.

SOBRE O PROJETO DIGITAL

As artes complementam-se, cruzam-se, atropelam-se e em conjunção permitem novas realizações e realidades. Por isso, o contrabaixista e compositor que também é programador informático, aliou-se à artista gráfica Maria Mónica, autora da Capa do disco e, a partir da música, criaram um novo mundo “autónomo” digital, em forma de jogo, paisagem e/ou realidade virtual de forma a que a música, o desenho e a tecnologia potenciem a experiência sensorial do ouvinte/interlocutor(a).

Este disco teve o apoio da Fundação GDA.

ABOUT

After “BRANCO”, the group's debut album, in 2013, and the album “A VIDA DE X”, in 2016, Quarteto, led by bassist and composer Miguel Ângelo, now promotes the third work of the group - “DANCE DOS DESASTRADOS”.

Keeping the formation in quartet with his usual companions - João Guimarães in Sax Alto, Joaquim Rodrigues in Piano and Marcos Cavaleiro in Bateria -, the new album is the continuity of the work and maturation of the composer and the group, which is more creative, inspired and matured.

Based on possible Traditional Dances, real or imagined, this is the proposal of the music group to listen, feel and dance, even for the most “clumsy”.

ABOUT THE DIGITAL PROJECT

The arts complement each other, intersect, run over each other and in conjunction allow for new achievements and realities. For this reason, the double bass player and composer who is also a computer programmer, joined the graphic artist Maria Mónica, author of the album’s cover and, from music, created a new digital “autonomous” world, in the form of a game, landscape and / or virtual reality so that music, design and technology enhance the sensory experience of the listener / interlocutor (a).

The Past Yet To Come is here now. Impermanent.

Pregnant of Wanderhopes. We are here now.

Hoping for the Expanded Life The Drums Are Singing.

Or Is It The Trees? Or is it the Ocean?

The Ocean, Says The Healer. The Ocean Inside a Stone.

Nota: O Bandcamp apenas disponibiliza para audição as faixas nº 2 e 4. Mesmo que faça a compra digital, esta só vem com essas duas faixas, o que eu considero uma falha grave do bandcamp (ou do artista que publicou).

César Cardoso - Dice of Tenors [2020]

YANDEX (192 Kbps) Size:86.6 MB

This new album is the result of the intention of his mentor, César Cardoso, to seek new approaches, paths and ideas of composition and arrangement, through an extended formation. This ensemble has 8 elements, distributed by winds - tenor saxophone, alto saxophone, trumpet and trombone - and rhythmic section - vibraphone, piano, double bass and drums.

Having already other projects with a quartet and a quintet and having written many arrangements for Big Band, the idea of this collective arose because it is different from what he has done and above all to challenge himself to present a record with its own identity and to approach the songs with innovation and freshness.

For this album César Cardoso chose 8 songs, 6 of which are Jazz Standards made famous by some of the greatest tenor saxophonists - Hank Mobley, Benny Golson, John Coltrane, Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins and Joe Henderson -, and composed 2 original songs to complete the album. These arrangements contain new approaches and techniques, recently studied, with the intention of creating songs as if they were new ones but at the same time without losing the essence of the originals. In addition, one of the premises was to raise the musical level through harmonic, rhythmic and metric complexity, without losing the musical side, making everything as organic as possible.

In César Cardoso’s career there are 3 albums, all with original music - “Half Step” (2010), “Bottom Shelf” (2015) and “Interchange” (2018) -, more than 100 arrangements for Orchestras and Big Bands - written mainly for the Jazz Orchestra of Leiria and for the Jazz Orchestra of Hot Clube de Portugal - plus 2 books, written in Portuguese, about Jazz Theory.

"A música escolhida para o alinhamento desta gravação foi escrita entre 1987 e 2018. Apesar da contextualização temporal da origem dos temas, pretendeu fazer-se uma abordagem livre, de forma a que este registo captasse a espontaneidade de uma nova leitura. Era meu desejo antigo fazer o registo desta música, pelo que agradeço ao Município de Viseu a oportunidade dada pela linha de financiamento municipal CRIAR do programa “Viseu Cultura”."
