Об исполнителе (группе)
I’ve been listening to a lot of jazz recently, & this is by far the best sounding jazz recording I own. The 2nd disc is, musically speaking, a mind blow. I have never been a huge Chick Corea fan, but this recording is convincing me. Every time I listen to this 2nd disc I’m there thinking, how can it possibly be that good ?
Oh my.
RENDEZVOUS IN NEW YORK was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album. “Matrix” won for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo. “Armando’s Rhumba” was nominated for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists.
One of Chick Corea’s most ambitious projects was the recording of almost 60 hours of music with nine different groups over a three-week run at the Blue Note in December 2001; it must have been a challenge to choose the dozen performances for this two-CD set. The first disc begins with scat singer par excellence Bobby McFerrin joining the pianist to scat his way through three selections, including a stunning medley of an excerpt from Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez” and Corea’s “Spain.” Bassist Miroslav Vitous and ageless drummer Roy Haynes provide the pulse to his extended work “Matrix.” Corea’s well-crafted tribute to Bud Powell, with Terence Blanchard and Joshua Redman in the front line, combines two of Powell’s greatest works, “Glass Enclosure” and “Tempus Fugit.” But Corea is at his most lyrical when old friend Gary Burton joins him to revisit the pianist’s masterpiece, the shimmering “Crystal Silence.” The second disc is also full of great music, though disc one clearly gets the edge, with the possible exception of the virtuoso duo piano interpretation with Gonzalo Rubalcaba of the same medley performed with McFerrin on the first CD. It is safe to say that no fan of Chick Corea will be disappointed with this wide-ranging compilation of live music, and it
is also a great starting point for those not familiar with his voluminous works. Highly recommended. ~ Ken Dryden
Recorded at The Blue Note, New York, New York in December 2001. Includes liner notes by Don Heckman, Chick Corea.
SA-CD.net reviews:
Chick Corea is from the Miles Davis school: He doesn’t like to look back.
Throughout his illustrious career, which got its start in 1962 in the Latin jazz bands of Mongo Santamaria and Willie Bobo, he has moved forward with single-minded determination from one project to the next. The breadth of Corea’s oeuvre is as staggering as the size of his enormous discography. From acoustic trios to Latin-jazz, fusion to flamenco, freely improvised to classical and everything in between, Corea is always intent on pushing musical boundaries. (Is it any wonder why the label he formed in 1992 with manager Ron Moss is called Stretch?)
But for three weeks in December of 2001, on the occasion of his 60th birthday celebration at the Blue Note nightclub in New York, Corea did indeed look back, by reconvening some of the acoustic groups that he led over the years.
“I had some resistance to the project at first,” Corea says. “I really didn’t want to cover any old ground. I didn’t want to reunite things, so to speak. But then Sal Haries at the Blue Note, my friend and the manager there, kind of got me into the spirit of a birthday party. He said, ‘It’s your 60th birthday-don’t get too serious about it. Just invite whoever you want to invite and have fun.’ And once I switched into that kind of a birthday-party attitude, I tried not to stress myself out with too much preparation, tried to let the whole gig just flow.”
Rather than burden himself with writing new material or choosing particularly demanding charts, Corea picked tunes that would require the least amount of shedding while putting a premium on improvisation. “When you get together with musicians of that caliber, what I find is the most rewarding approach is always to put a program together that the musicians can feel comfortable to really play and not have to worry about reading notes, because these guys are all great improvisers.
Every note of Corea’s extended birthday celebration at the Blue Note was fastidiously documented via state of the art Direct Stream Digital audio technology, by Herbert Waltl and Clark Germain, as well as in high-definition video, by David Niles of Colossalvision. Rendezvous in New York, a hybrid SACD two-disc set on Stretch, offers a taste of the 60 total hours of music-making that went down at the Blue Note during that three-week retrospective. Individual CDs documenting full sets by each of the nine bands that performed will be available in the U.S. by this summer as part of a subscription series on both Corea’s website (www.chickcorea.com) and Concord’s website (www.concordrecords.com). Plus, the whole affair can be seen on upcoming broadcasts via HDNet, followed by commercial release in both VHS and DVD formats. (The evening that Liza Minnelli sat in with her piano accompanist, causing Corea to shift to the drum chair, will undoubtedly not be included in any of the available formats, though Chick does generously thank her in the liner credits to Rendezvous).
