Jazz

Ilike very different kinds of music. I enjoy Rock, Jazz, “Tropicobailable” music, “Cueca Brava”, etc. Today I am going to speak about Jazz and my favourites groups, albums and songs in this interesting kind of music.

The Jazz was born in the USA, Lousiana in the first part of the twenty century. His main characteristics are a mixture of various kinds of music and culture. This kind of music integrates African and Latin rhythms and European instruments. On the other hand, the fundamental element of the jazz interpretation is the improvisation. Therefore, the figure of the interpreter is more important that the figure of composer. In addition, the role of the virtuoso is fundamental to create new styles or new genres.

Especifically, my favourite groups are Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Angel Parra Trio, Chick Corea, Akineton Retard and Hiromi Uehara. I attended the last concert of Chick Corea in Chile. This concert was in the Caupolican theater and it was great.

Moreover, I enjoy the music of Hiromi Uehara. She is a virtuoso Japanese pianist and her interpretation is great. My favorite songs are “Time out”, “Deep into the nights”, “Deja Vu”, “Reverse” and “XYZ”. On the other hand, “Another Mind” (2003), “Brain” (2004) and “Duet” are the most interesting Uehara albums for me. In “Duet”, Hiromi play with Chick Corea in the Tokyo Blue Note, is a great concert. I would like attend a concert of the Hiromi, and very much a concert of Hiromi and Chick…Great!!
