Arturo O'Farrill Biography I'ma New York mutt, and that's what comes across in inspired by O'Farrill's wife,classical pianist Alison Susan It's a real yinand-yang statement; some parts http://www.fantasyjazz.com/html/ofarrilla_bio.html
Extractions: ARTURO O'FARRILL - bio "I did not choose to study jazz," says Arturo O'Farrill. "I chose to listen to jazz, and to allow the people whose work I admire to permeate my playing almost by osmosis. Sometimes I'll tell my fingers to zig and they'll zagbut I'm trying to speak from the heart in a way that transcends all the training I've had." The fact is, jazz chose this 39-year-old classically-trained pianist. On Blood Lines , his first outing as a leader, O'Farrill demonstrates a polychromatic patchwork of influences that makes him impossible to categorize, but that reflects both masterful technique and confident understanding of jazz in its many guisesfrom a straightahead standard to a sultry Cuban classic to a free jazz kaleidoscope of shaded tone and fractured timing. As the title of this date suggests, the music's practically embedded in his DNA. It's part of his childhood, his heritagemaybe even his destiny. He's listened to jazz since the crib. He was born June 22, 1960 in Mexico City, where his father, renowned Cuban composer Chico O'Farrill (whose works have been recorded by Benny Goodman, Stan Kenton, Dizzy Gillespie, the Machito Orchestra, and Mario Bauza), had a thriving career as a bandleader. "My life was like living in an I Love Lucy sitcom," O'Farrill recalls. "My father was a musician and Mom was a singer in his band. He worked nights, so we were raised by eight or nine aunts and uncles. I grew up eating tacos and frijoles, and I still identify very strongly with being Mexican. The funny thing is, last year I spent some time in the Catskills, in an area called the Emerald Isle, and I got connected with my Irish culture, too. I'm a New York mutt, and that's what comes across in my music.

Extractions: Joe Lovano Quartet lights fire at Tanglewood, 9/4/98 by Seth Rogovoy (LENOX , Mass., Sept 6, 1998) The Joe Lovano Quartet kicked off the weekend jazz festival in Ozawa Hall with the sort of exciting, in-the-moment improvisation that characterizes jazz at its best and which is seen all too rarely at Tanglewood. Lovano's group was both tightly controlled and musically loose and freewheeling, allowing the soloists to compose on-the-spot while the ensemble retained the swinging feel and the harmonic framework of the individual tunes. Lovano kicked off his set with "Fort Worth," one of his signature tunes, on which he alternated bebop lines with ascending and descending arpeggios, occasionally stopping to explore a particular riff he liked or stumbled upon. In the first of several demonstrations of the intuitive sympathy that existed among the players in Lovano's group, Lovano laid out while pianist Kenny Werner echoed his solo, constructing his own statement out of block chords and favored riffs. Lovano gave himself a workout on the second number, "Alexander the Great," which showcased his burnished tone, all elasticity and warmth, in the service of suggestively bent and slurred notes. Werner's accompaniment was particularly attuned to the rhythms laid down by drummer Idris Muhammad, with all his notes seemingly landing in the spaces the drummer carefully left open for him.

Extractions: This is an album of solitary piano music that is spread over two tracks. If you need a reference point, think Liz Story without the melodies. The music is avant-gardish with many sections involving two, three notes. Soothing might not be the correct term but it does jar you to appreciating music in an "unconventional" way. Patience is mandatory. Write to PO Box 697, Pacific Grove, CA 93950, USA or email itzat@earthlink.net Stephen Tan/BigO Magazine Ernesto Diaz-Infante has an impressive curriculum vita. He has received a Bachelor of Arts in creative studies and has worked in divers art center in French and the US. Ernesto also does live improvisation performances and composed chambermusic (electronic and instrumental). Back to the CD. The general feeling after several times lighting is sentiment and melancholy. The music is very minimal, made with just a piano. These are the strength and at the same time the weak of this CD. For 30 minutes is it just wonderful and relaxed listening to these compositions, but for 70 minutes it's a bit to long for me (I now I'm a culture barber). Besides this CD Ernesto has also released an experimental improvisation CD. On this CD he works under the name Triptych together with composer/multi-instrumentalist David Dvorin.

Extractions: The solo seemed endless, tuxedoed men and gowned women in the audience lapping up each shriek of musical suffering like eager dogs. The soloist played on, muscles straining and fingers beginning to bleed. She faltered once, and the crack of the whip was a gunshot in her ears and a tearing pain across her shoulders. She played on, but the next mistake was not long in coming, and a third was not far behind that. The fumbles came more quickly as her body began to give out, and every time the lash fell across her in blinding pain. Finally she collapsed, a trembling bleeding heap on the stage.

Extractions: Since his triumphant debut in 1956 with the New York Philharmonic, Mr. Browning has appeared in virtually every music capital of the world, amassing accolades for his solo recitals, concerto appearances and recordings. He continues to be in demand with the world's leading ensembles and conductors, a measure of the high regard for his impeccable and eloquent musicianship. He performs and records a broad spectrum of works spanning three centuries from Mozart to the grand virtuoso masterpieces of Beethoven, Brahms, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, Ravel and Tchaikovsky including 43 concertos. In addition to championing the works of Samuel Barber, with whom he has long been associated, he has premiered and recorded works by the contemporary American composer, Richard Cumming. "At age 65, Mr. Browning is still capable of brilliant technical feats that would defeat pianist many years his junior," proclaimed the Chicago Tribune in 1998. Mr. Browning concertizes regularly in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, South America, New Zealand, and Australia, and had toured the Soviet Union on four occasions. In North America, he appears regularly with the symphonies of Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, Los Angeles, New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Toronto, and the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D. C. Performances abroad with European orchestras have included the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, London Philharmonic, London and Scottish National Symphony Orchestras, and most recently, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic with Andrew Davis.

Extractions: Star-Bulletin HONG KONG Raymond Sarreal sits in a green and black chair gently blowing into an old flute on the cluttered second-floor hallway of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. The dark eyes of the promising 13-year-old Philippines musician appear crossed as he watches his fingers manipulate the flute while trying desperately to capture the notes teacher Bernard Goldberg has patiently prodded him to find. Sarreal, the youngest member of this year's renowned Asian Youth Orchestra, doesn't seem bothered by the faint cacophony of orchestral sounds from the 15 music rooms lining the hall, teachers' instructions to students, even some laughter. Sarreal over and over again attempts to find the note, frowning and shaking his head. Several minutes pass and the boy's eyes sparkle when he hits the chord. "Yes, yes," the boy says with a grin.
