Jelly Roll Morton : King Porter Stomp

Cette collection rend hommage à Jelly Roll Morton, le compositeur, donnant ses mélodies plein respect plutôt que de les transformer en véhicules d'improvisation. Le résultat est un bel exposé des possibilités musicales de solo jouer de la guitare fingerstyle et un hommage digne de Jelly Roll Morton, un des plus grands musiciens du XXe siècle.Les treize solos présentés dans cette collection couvrent un large éventail de la musique de Mr. Jelly Seigneur, chronologiquement et stylistiquement. Elles ont été organisées par le guitariste suédois Lasse Johansson. Lasse affiche une preuve suffisante de la viabilité des idées de la transposition Morton à la guitare. Morceaux comme King Porter Stomp et les sorts du grand-papa sont de bons exemples de l'expansion de Morton de l'approche de ragtime. Chicago Breakdown et surtout Wild Man Blues ont été rendus célèbres par Louis Armstrong. Et Dixie sait qu'elle a une qualité de folk, de la première section évoque Alabama Bound.Il s'agit d'un CD amélioré et tous les airs ont été transcrites dans l'onglet / la musique dans le livret de 72 pages PDF qui se trouve sur le CD. / Guitare

The composer says: Several musical threads led to my writing this piece of music to celebrate my friend Matanya Ophee?s (AKA MO) 80th birthday - a life lived with the guitar. Jelly Roll Morton once asserted: ?In fact, if you can't manage to put tinges of Spanish in your tunes, you will never be able to get the right seasoning; I call it, for jazz.? Over the last couple of years I moved back to Jelly Roll Morton?s city: New Orleans, home of my adolescence and reacquainted myself with the tinges of Spanish in its rich musical heritage. One of these pieces was the Mardi Gras Mambo, an iconic song frequently played during Mardi Gras and, in David Newman?s reworking of the lyrics, at the New Orleans Saints football games as the Super Bowl Mambo. Uncited sources on both Wikipedia and Essortment say the word Mambo means ?conversation with the gods? in Kikongo, the language spoken by Central African slaves taken to Cuba where it became the name for a musical form and a dance style that developed originally in Cuba in the able hands of Cachao?s (Bassist Orestes Lopez) tune: Danzon Mambo. This rhythmic style became famous in the 1950?s following its use in dance bands in Mexico and through New Orleans to the United States. The infectiousness of the New Orleans re-interpretation of the Mambo?s ostinato bass line and the reaction of people who are readily moved to dance when they hear it spoke to me of dance and celebration. This led me to choose some of this piece?s characteristics and title for this piece: Mambo for MO. As we have progressed on the instrument, some of us may have encountered the four-chord descending minor chord progression known as the Andalusian cadence: i - VII - VI - V in many different genres and guises. After all, it appears in Ray Charles? Hit the Road, Jack, the verse on Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys, Walk, Don?t Run by The Ventures, Runaway by Del Shannon and in that great work arranged and embraced by the Guitar: J.S. Bach?s Chaconne from the Partita in D minor for solo violin, BWV 1004. This bass line derived from a Latin American musical style as reinterpreted in New Orleans, a chord progression that evokes the Flamenco Music of Spain, and my impressions of the sinuous lines of people dancing the Second Line in the streets of New Orleans at Mardi Gras led me to this synthesis as a tribute to a man who has contributed so much in his lifelong efforts for the guitar, its history and lore on the occasion of his birthday! Happy Birthday, Matanya! Carlos Barrientos was born on June 25, 1954 in Tela, Honduras. He began his formal music studies at the National Music Conservatory in Guatemala City, Guatemala C.A.
