Chano Dominguez - Iman

From what and 'that jazz? This is 'a fundamental question for a European musician, because the original tradition of jazz and' far from the tradition that is part of our European music. I know that I have addressed this topic several times before, and 'one of those things that emorgono when it comes to relationships with jazz and European music.
Chano Dominguez 'a pianist very particular on the European music scene, combining flamenco and jazz, especially jazz piano may seem like an impossible thing, even if Jazz is improvised on a property in flamenco improvisation € ™ s Itâ € ™ part of the facility. In flamenco, the soleaâ € ™ or bulería, the guitarist does not know what the singer faraâ fincheâ € ™ € ™ does not, and the singer does not know which falseta (variation or melodic phrase, between successions of chords) guitarist suoneraâ € ™ for him. Then the germ of jazz in a sense, and 'content in the soul of flamenco. This is the starting point, Chano Dominguez on this disc offers the usual jazz interpretations of traditional melodies and original compositions based flamenco harmonies and rhythms of flamenco. Music that goes deep down to the ancestral type of sound you hear, something primal rages, the voices and rhythms punctuated by typical flamenco percussion. Peculiarities' often lack of bass, piano, rhythm section consisting of cells with flamenco rhythms, jazz harmonies, and percussion. Rarefied, hard by the great evocative power of this excellent lyric Spanish pianist. Even jazz trio interpretations in terms of a single song as gracias a la vida, where the power really lyrical and jazz harmonies Chano Dominguez get to the heart without excessive technical or spectacular stage effects, with only the beauty of the melodies and the clear memory of Bill Evans. A fine example of the type of music I love, how and form combining traditional European jazz is possible to make a living and provide new material, new standards to the jazz language.

   Enza, I love you the atmosphere of this song, the rarefied cajon percussion that punctuates the rhythm with that peculiar sound.

   Ale that I want badly and 'now a proven fact enough, I think every musician should ask questions, express or implied, shall we say, understand the direction, feel the roots. Too often, unfortunately, and this in Italy too, forget the deep roots, trying to mimic that are not our roots. I mean, too often listen to records, trying to emulate a sound of Afro-American, completely forgetting the heart of Europe. The deep meaning of what I wrote was to try to re-float our roots, folk, even local, can 'do good only to jazz, enriching the language and making a living language, in short, play jazz like miles played 50 years ago , I do not have a particular artistic value, but the academic level. That's' cause I do not like some American musicians that do not evolve the language, which did not elaborate, taking cues from the new contamination. Contamination is dangerous but when done with honest 'intellectual and heartfelt as this disc is an opportunity to render a service to jazz and the music.
   So the questions, if you have questions not explicit, does not mean that we should negotiate with the reason for the feeling of the music, artistic questions are, what is the deep root. In Spain, flamenco and 'a terrible form of improvisation, are not even stationary structures, the wonderful idea of ​​Dominguez (and also of others such as Korea before him),' was to take inspiration from that tradition regenerate sound material.
   In Italy, unfortunately, a few examples of a rich musical tradition from 300 today.
