<description><![CDATA[Yaron Herman Trio: Muse (Laborie Jazz, distrib Proper LJ06) At first listen Herman seems to be a bit]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong><img class="alignleft" src="http://inlinethumb19.webshots.com/44626/2744726240103316153S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="" width="268" height="245" />Yaron Herman Trio: <em>Muse</em> (Laborie Jazz, distrib Proper LJ06)</strong><br />
At first listen Herman seems to be a bit of a chameleon of a pianist &#8211; showing a strong Jarrett influence on a rich and rounded interpretation of Dizzy Gillespie&#8217;s <em>Con Alma</em>, revealing an ability to play hip-hop influenced jazz piano in the Robert Glasper vein on his own composition <em>Vertigo</em>, and so on.</p>
<p>But with repeated listening the more individual character of both pianist and trio &#8211; Matt Brewer on bass and Gerald Cleaver on drums &#8211; becomes apparent. The group sound, perhaps because the drums are way back in the mix and used more as an added texture to the piano and bass, is dark, warm and rounded with harmony and melody at the forefront. A string quartet is used sparingly and in an interesting way on three tracks, one of which is a cover of Bjork&#8217;s <em>Isobel</em>.</p>
<p>Two songs, <em>Lamidbar</em> and <em>Lu Yehi</em>, from Jewish composers Alexander Argov and Naomi Shemer refer back to Herman&#8217;s Israeli lineage and bring a rich and fresh colour to the group&#8217;s material.</p>
<p>The finale, <em>Rina Ballé</em>, is a lovely example of music played in dedication to sheer beauty with no thought given to showing off technique &#8211; and that is always a good thing.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_229" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://girardc.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/flyer200.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-229" title="Yaron Herman Trio" src="http://girardc.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/flyer200.jpg" alt="Yaron Herman Trio" width="200" height="283" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Yaron Herman Trio</p></div>
<p>Lundi 13 mars passait au théatre des Champs-Elysées Yaron Herman Trio. J&#8217;y suis allé sur un coup de tête. Sur un coup de tête parce que d&#8217;une part je ne connaissais pas et d&#8217;autre part je me suis décidé quelques heures avant.</p>
<p>En fait, c&#8217;est suite à une chronique sur France Info, diffusée la veille au soir, que j&#8217;ai pris connaissance de ce concert. La formule trio de jazz étant quelque chose qui me séduit beaucoup, j&#8217;ai donc décidé de voir s&#8217;il restait des places. C&#8217;était donc le cas.</p>
<p>Le promoteur avait décidé de faire une formule tarif unique, placement libre. Dans mon cas précis d&#8217;achat de place à la dernière minute, c&#8217;était plutôt une bonne chose. Dans l&#8217;absolu, c&#8217;était beaucoup plus discutable. Les portes n&#8217;ouvrant qu&#8217;une demi-heure avant le début du concert, beaucoup de monde était déjà là à ce moment et c&#8217;était plutôt la bousculade. Et surtout, je pense que toute les places sont loin de ce valoir.</p>
<p>Le théatre des Champs-Elysée est une salle ayant une disposition de théatre plutôt classique : c&#8217;est à dire des place en fauteuils orchestres, le reste en balcon, sur plusieurs étages. J&#8217;ai réussi à avoir une place en fauteuil orchestre, à une dizaine de rangs de la scène et plutôt centré. La salle était bien remplie.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.yaron-herman.com" target="_blank">Yaron Herman</a> est un jeune (27 ans) pianiste Israélien. Il est arrivé très tard au piano puisqu&#8217;il a démarré à l&#8217;âge de 16 ans alors qu&#8217;il se destinait originellement au basket. C&#8217;est en France qu&#8217;il a démarré sa carrière donc il sait  parler français et jouait en quelque sorte chez lui. Il a été élu révélation musicale de l&#8217;année aux Victoires du Jazz en septembre 2008.</p>
<p>Ce trio est complété par <a href="http://www.myspace.com/mattbrewerbass" target="_blank">Matt Brewer</a> à la contrebasse et <a href="http://www.myspace.com/geraldcleavermusic" target="_blank">Gerald Cleaver</a> à la batterie. Tous les deux sont américains. A noter aussi la présence sur certains morceaux du <a href="http://www.zigzag-territoires.com/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=71&#38;lang=fr" target="_blank">Quatuor Manfred</a>. Il ne s&#8217;agit pas du même quatuor à cordes qui joue sur certains morceaux du dernier album du Yaron Herman Trio, mais il est lui aussi issu du classique. Était aussi invité le guitariste <a href="http://www.dominicmiller.com/" target="_blank">Dominic Miller</a>. Guitariste qui est surtout connu pour son travail avec Sting, mais qui a joué avec beaucoup d&#8217;autres artistes.</p>
<p>Le style du Yaron Herman Trio alterne entre des morceaux plutôt calmes et mélancoliques et des morceaux beaucoup plus rythmés. Les sonorités présentes au piano sur les morceaux calmes m&#8217;évoquaient des compositeurs classiques tels que Debussy. Certains morceaux plus rythmés ne peuvent être écoutés sans penser à Keith Jarret. Mais même si les influences sont là, le trio a son style bien à lui. La contrebasse était malheureusement sous-mixée tout au long du concert, je n&#8217;ai pas vraiment pu apprécier son jeu. Par contre, la batterie est très présente et apporte beaucoup à l&#8217;ensemble.</p>
<p>L&#8217;apport du quatuor sur les quelques morceaux où ils jouaient n&#8217;était pas négligeable. Leur rôle était majoritairement un rôle de soutien mélodique au piano, mais ce n&#8217;était pas toujours le cas. En effet, certaines parties étaient beaucoup plus indépendantes du trio et étaient plus là en balance, voire en opposition. Globalement, j&#8217;ai trouvé cette association une riche idée qui n&#8217;était pas là seulement pour faire joli mais qui apportait plutôt une vraie dynamique à l&#8217;ensemble. Je ne saurais pas dire pourquoi, mais certaines de leurs interventions m&#8217;évoquaient le Mahavishnu Orchestra.</p>
<p>Dominic Miller jouait sur une guitare classique. J&#8217;ai bien aimé aussi ses interventions. Ils ont notamment fait un duo avec Yaron sur le thème de <a href="http://www.deezer.com/track/922138" target="_blank">Shape of my heart</a> (Sting, D. Miller). A part ce morceau, Dominic Miller a joué sur un morceau avec le trio et un morceau où était aussi présent le quartet à cordes.</p>
<p>Yaron Herman est pour moi vraiment un grand pianiste de jazz. D&#8217;un point de vue technique, je ne pense pas qu&#8217;il ait quoi que ce soit à envier à grand monde. D&#8217;un point de vue musical, j&#8217;ai apprécié sa versatilité ainsi que son approche sonore du piano. Je pense, entre autre, au morceau <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0stxivilXeI" target="_blank">Toxic</a> (oui c&#8217;est une reprise de Britney Spears) où il joue toute une partie en étouffant d&#8217;une main les cordes du piano. La recherche de sonorité est très intéressante et ce n&#8217;est qu&#8217;un exemple parmi d&#8217;autres.</p>
<p>Pour ceux qui veulent découvrir à quoi ressemble Yaron Herman Trio, les albums sont écoutables sur Deezer. Je vous recommande le nouvel album <a href="http://www.deezer.com/#music/album/272312" target="_blank">Muse</a>. De plus le concert était diffusé par TSF Jazz et est <a href="http://www.tsfjazz.com/podcast-detail.php?id=3" target="_blank">réécoutable</a> (bootleg aussi dispo sur Dimeadozen).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;ve been aware of the &#8220;Jazz program <a href="http://www.lisinski.hr/">Lisinski</a>&#8221; for years. It&#8217;s always been one of those things in the back of my head, that I knew &#8220;might be nice to check out&#8221; but never really got around to it.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-87" title="oscar_peterson2" src="http://extweeme.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/oscar_peterson2.jpg?w=258" alt="oscar_peterson2" width="258" height="300" /></p>
<p>When I found the time to go to a jazz concert, it was usually the much better marketed and promoted festivals such as &#8220;Zagreb Jazz Festival&#8221;, &#8220;Springtime Jazz Fever&#8221; and others &#8211; which have presented really great musicians over the years.</p>
<p>The jazz program in the Lisinski concert hall has always been kind of &#8220;modest&#8221; and low profile. However towards the end of last year I realized I had been missing a great find. The occasion was a concert by the excellent <a href="http://kennywernerlive.com/">Kenny Werner Quintet</a>. I almost didn&#8217;t get a ticket as they were close to being sold out long before the event date. At the concert, I figured out that a small conspiracy was taking place. The organizers, and the participating audience, new what was going on. A great series with a knowledgable, select audience in a small setting. No marketing or promotion was needed &#8211; the smaller hall of the Lisinski concert hall was apparently routinely sold out. But ha! I was now on to them!</p>
<p>So &#8211; a new discovery: Jazz at Lisinski. Seems good enough to take their word for it even if I don&#8217;t know the artists appearing. Well &#8211; tomorrow (March 6th) it&#8217;s the French / Israeli pianist <a href="http://www.yaron-herman.com/">Yaron Herman</a> with his trio.</p>

<p>Looking forward to it very much! And if any of my blog or twitter readers / followers are interested &#8211; see you there! And if you miss this one &#8211; the program continues <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><!--[if gte mso 9]&#62; Normal   0 &#60;![endif]--><!--  --></p>
<p>By MIchael J. Katz</p>
<div id="attachment_298" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://irom.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/ryan2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-298" title="ryan2" src="http://irom.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/ryan2.jpg?w=300" alt="Ryan Shaw" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ryan Shaw</p></div>
<p>It&#8217;s 6:35 p.m. and the first few strains of music are flowing over the Garden Stage, a small outdoor amphitheatre adjacent to the main arena at the Monterey County Fairgrounds. The main stage show doesn&#8217;t start for two hours, but the fans are already flowing in, filling up the funky metal benches. Lawn chairs sprout up in the green space in front of the bleacher sections, and by tomorrow there will be folks perched in the surrounding oaks. The crowd is listening to George Young, a sixtyish tenor player who opens the festival with a program of Billy Strayhorn tunes.  Young&#8217;s renditions <em>of Take The A Train </em>and <em>Rain Check</em> seem the perfect backdrop as old friends reunite and plot strategy for three days of jazz and blues spread over five stages of music.</p>
<p>Although the big names are centered on the Arena, I&#8217;ve always thought the Garden Stage is the soul of the festival. Its smaller size promotes intimacy, yet the outdoor setting gives it a raucous environment.  Good vibes spill out over the grounds, across the midway, where the smell of barbecue wafts over wooden picnic tables; fans of all ages and backgrounds find themselves thrown together, comparing the virtues of Ghanaian salmon and Texas ribs.</p>
<p>I duck into the Coffee House, the smallest of the indoor venues, to catch a young Israeli pianist, Yaron Herman and his trio. Herman plays with a furious virtuosity, all his own compositions, in a free form whirlwind that will be book ended late in the festival by Wayne Shorter&#8217;s soaring performance at the arena. Shorter&#8217;s legion of fans will take flight with him anywhere, whereas Herman hasn&#8217;t found his audience yet. People wander in and out, and I wonder if sprinkling his repertoire with a few identifiable tunes wouldn&#8217;t hurt.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, at the arena, a dense fog has settled in, and some in the crowd who thought last year&#8217;s downpour on opening night was an anomaly are beginning to mutter about the effects of global warming.  By the time Cassandra Wilson finishes an adventurous set with a nod to Sarah Vaughn in <em>A Day In The Life of A Fool</em> and <em>Til There was You</em>, the fog has turned into light rain and many folks don&#8217;t stay for the final act, flutist Maraca&#8217;s Cuban Lullabies. That&#8217;s a shame, because they miss an exhilarating performance, augmented by sax players David Sanchez and Miguel Zenon.  Three days hence, Zenon will be awarded a $500,000 MacArthur grant &#8211; one can only imagine the Monterey crowd partying over that news.</p>
<p>Saturday afternoon is the blues show, and I am back at the Garden Stage where Ryan Shaw, a young R and B singer from Georgia, simply tears up the place. Singing a mixture of his own songs and gospel-tinged covers from the Beatles (<em>Let It Be</em>) to Otis Redding (<em>Try a Little Tenderness</em>), Shaw has the crowd standing and cheering.  Aided by superb bassist Michael &#8220;Tiny&#8221; Lindsey, Shaw encores for half an hour, causing me to miss Maceo Parker at the Arena. That is the joyful serendipity of Monterey.</p>
<p>The biggest splash of the festival is made Sunday afternoon by young Brit Jamie Cullum. Hyped as the next  Harry Connick, Jr,  or maybe the third coming of Sinatra, Cullum wins over skeptics from the start with a foot stomping (in this case on his own keyboard) version of <em>I Get A Kick Out Of You</em>. Cullum has the jazz chops.  His <em>Twentysomething</em> is a brightly funny take on leaving the nest, set against the altered chords of Charles Mingus&#8217;s <em>Haitian Fight Song</em>.  He bounces around the stage, leaping on his piano &#8212; his vertical leap would make NBA scouts drool, were it not for the fact that he is about half the size of a standup bass.  It&#8217;s the best main arena debut I can recall since Diana Krall knocked everybody out in 1997.</p>
<p>A few words about jazz education, the principal mission of the Monterey Jazz Festival. The kids in this festival, supported generously by Verizon, are stunningly talented. A Latin Jazz septet from the Berklee College of Music, its members hailing from Israel to Peru, played to packed houses at both the Garden Stage and the Coffee House. I caught the winning High School vocal groups from Los Angeles County High School for the Arts and Folsom High School, both of whom played crisp arrangements with outstanding young voices.  A combo of high school students from the Jazz School Advanced Workshop in Berkeley was equally outstanding. When you listen to these kids and see the enthusiastic crowds that support them at Monterey, it&#8217;s hard to accept the slight recognition jazz gets in the broader media, or the widespread belief that the music isn&#8217;t healthy.</p>
<p>There is way too much going on at Monterey to do justice to everyone. My favorites this year included Kurt Elling&#8217;s tribute to the Coltrane/Hartman collaboration, with saxman Ernie Watts and the ETHEL string quartet; Christian McBride&#8217;s straight ahead jazz quintet with Steve Wilson on woodwinds and Eric Reed on piano, and Maria Schneider&#8217;s lush, symphonic jazz compositions, also featuring Wilson,  highlighted by Willow Lake, her commissioned piece.</p>
<p>When it was all over, Herbie Hancock launching into an electrified encore of <em>Chameleon</em> at the arena, the crowd emptied out, taking the joys of music and camaraderie back to the workaday world.</p>

<p>Toxic is one of the greatest hits of the <em>tabloid-most-wanted</em> Britney Spears. Written by  Bloodshy &#38; Avant, Cathy Dennis, and Henrik Jonback for her 4th album <em>In the Zone</em>, the hit was recorded by several artists in different music styles. I like this music so much, but I think the Mark Ronson version kicks asses ans its the best one. You can learn more about the song in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_(song)" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>. We prepared a small selection for you.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Since the artist doesn&#8217;t allowed to add that song on our profile, I have to use another way. Somehow, this space is les and less responding to my expectations.<br />So here&#8217;s the song Toxic. You certainly know the original, one of the big hit from Britney S.. I was actually amazed about that tunes, really nice, well produced, dancy. </p>
<p>Anyway, that new version is due to the Israelian pianist, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/yaronherman">Yaron Herman</a> , and that&#8217;s my song of the moment, great tune, love that cover.<br />enjoy</p>

<strong>Yaron Herman: “A Time for Everything” (Laborie)</strong><br />
Θα μπορούσε να φορά τη φανέλα της Μακάμπι, αν δεν είχε σταματήσει το μπάσκετ στα δεκάξι του εξαιτίας ενός τραυματισμού. Ο αναπάντεχος αποχαιρετισμός στον αθλητισμό τον έκανε να ασχοληθεί με τη μουσική και άρχισε τα μαθήματα πιάνου. Σε δυο μόλις χρόνια ο Yaron Herman ήταν έτοιμος να συνεχίσει τις σπουδές του στο Berklee της Βοστόνης. Αλλά το ανταγωνιστικό πανεπιστημιακό περιβάλλον τον απώθησε και δύο μήνες μετά βρισκόταν ήδη εν πτήσει προς Τελ Αβιβ με ενδιάμεσο σταθμό το Παρίσι. Μια χιονοθύελλα ανάγκασε το σκάφος να διανυκτερεύσει εκεί. Μετά από μια βόλτα στην πόλη ο νεαρός πιανίστας βρέθηκε σε ένα τζαμ σέσιον, ανέβηκε στη σκηνή και έπαιξε το “Whisper Not” του Benny Golson. Του πρότειναν να μείνει για λίγες μέρες και να παίξει με ένα σχήμα που είχε μείνει από πιανίστα. Σε λίγο καιρό, μόνιμος κάτοικος του Παρισιού πλέον, ηχογραφούσε το πρώτο του CD με ένα ντούο που σχημάτισε με τον ντράμερ Sylvain Ghio, και το 2005 το σόλο πιάνο άλμπουμ “Variations”.<br />
<!--moreσυνέχεια--><br />
Η καινούρια του δουλειά, με τρίο αυτή τη φορά, όπου μπασίστας είναι ο Matt Brewer (που έπαιξε στο “Channel Three” του Greg Osby, με τον οποίο τον είδαμε πριν μερικά χρόνια στο Half Note) και ντράμερ ο Gerald Cleaver (για χρόνια στο γκρουπ του Matthew Shipp), είναι εκείνη που πιθανότατα θα του ανοίξει νέες πόρτες και σε Ευρώπη και σε Αμερική. Ο Herman με απόηχους στα πλήκτρα του από Keith Jarrett, Brad Mehldau και Ethan Iverson, έφτιαξε ένα άλμπουμ όπου με δικές του συνθέσεις αλλά και διασχίζοντας την κλασική μουσική, στάνταρντς, σύγχρονα ποπ και ροκ τραγούδια, αποτυπώνει μια μοντέρνα, πανοραμική αισθητική για το πιάνο τρίο, ανάλογη με αυτή των Bad Plus και των Bandwagon του Jason Moran. Έτσι στο εύλογα τιτλοφορημένο “A Time for Everything” θα συναντήσουμε το “Πρελούδιο Νο 2 σε Σι ύφεση” του Σκριάμπιν, το παραδοσιακό εβραϊκό τραγούδι “Layla Layla”, το κλασικό “In the wee small hours of the morning”, το “Army of me” της Bjork, το “Message in a bottle” των Police, το “Hallelujah” του Leonard Cohen. Κι αν έχουμε ακούσει Cindy Lauper από τον Miles Davis, Abba από τους Sex Mob και Madonna από τον Bill Frisell, ήλθε η ώρα να ακούσουμε τη τζαζ εκδοχή του “Toxic” της Britney Spears (!). Το διάφανο πιάνο του Ηerman μπροστά από τον γεμάτο σύμβολα, λέξεις και συνθήματα τοίχο στο εξώφυλλο του CD, αφήνει να εννοηθεί ότι είναι ανοιχτό κυριολεκτικά σε οτιδήποτε και ότι καθετί μπορεί να αποτελέσει ερέθισμα και να μετουσιωθεί σε τέχνη μέσα από τον αυτοσχεδιασμό.<br />
