LEW TABACKIN TRIO:
Die Perfektion, der Musiker immer hinterherjagen, würden sie nie erreichen, sagt Lew Tabackin. Aber sie sollten es wenigstens versuchen. Dass er selbst genau das immer wieder tut, beweist der Tenorsaxophonist nach wie vor. In der heutigen Zeit, in der uns die legendären alten Meister des Jazz langsam verlassen, gibt es noch einige wenige von ihnen, die uns noch die Freude machen können, sie persönlich zu hören und ihren klassischen Jazz zu erleben – Lew Tabackin ist zweifellos einer von ihnen – unterstützt von zwei Musikern der jungen Generation aus Italien und Slowenien.
Lew Tabackin
Trio je zasedba v kateri en najbolj unikatnih saksofonistov in flavtistov
starejse generacije preigrava jazz standarde na nacin ki je danes mogoce nekako
zapostavljen. Z eno nogo stojimo v tradiciji prvih velikanov jazza (Coleman
Hawkins, Lester Young), z drugo pa krozimo okoli prve in dobimo modernejso in
svobodnejso obliko jazza (Sonny Rollins) z mocno povezavo v zgodovini.
Lew Tabackin (USA) – tenor saksofon, flavta
Lew Tabackin is
an artist of astonishing vision. His electrifying flute playing is at once
virtuosic, primordial, cross-cultural, and passionate. His distinctive tenor
sax style includes the use of wide intervals, abrupt changes of mood and tempo,
and purposeful fervor, all in the service of showing the full range of
possibilities of his instrument – melodically, rhythmically, and dynamically.
Without copying or emulating jazz greats of the past, Mr. Tabackin has absorbed
elements into his style, ultimately creating his own sound and aura.
Giuseppe Bassi (Italy) – kontrabas
Giuseppe Bassi
is one of the finest acoustic bass players in Italy. For the last twenty years
he continues to be the bass player of choice for many well-known musicians on
tours in Italy: John Hicks, Jessie Davis, Mal Waldron, David Liebman, Greg
Osby, Tim Warfield, Dick Hallagan, Michelle Hendrix, Adrianne West, to name

jazz.
