Caminhos da música


Roscoe Mitchell
(Jazz em Agosto 1987, com o Art Ensemble of Chicago)

"You know, someday soon there won’t be anymore music. Oh, there’ll still be musicians, but they’ll only be playing in their homes, in their living rooms, for their families and other friends. Money! That’s what it’s all about."
Roscoe Mitchell (Oct. 1, 1971)



Um trio de peso: John Hollenbeck, Clean Feed e Trem Azul.
(Portalegre JazzFest 2010)

"...It’s interesting to see one overall trend in recorded jazz in the 2000s. The phenomenon that has had the most impact on me is the disproportionate relationship between the amount of music beeing recorded and the overall quality. Often I’m handed a disc with a subtle apology only to see artwork that looks like it was done in an hour, and when I finally listen to it (which I still do) I’m usually disapointed.
When I listen to a recording I want to be transported. I want to hear that the artist put all they had into it. I want to see great artwork, hear great sound, and experience the heart, soul and guts that went into making it.
I understand the obvious reasons why this is often not the case..."
John Hollenbeck (DownBeat, January 2010)
