SUMMARY:Kind of Blue - Ensemble Kind of Blue with commentary by Pedro Moreira
DESCRIPTION:The album Kind of Blue (1959) is unanimously regarded as one of the most important and influential records in jazz history and remains a bestseller to this day. Recorded in just two sessions in 1959\, the album brings together a sextet of extraordinary musicians and marked a new era in jazz\, in which Miles Davis moved away from the speed and harmonic complexity of bebop and opened the door to modal jazz—a more lyrical\, spacious language with greater melodic freedom. \nIn this lecture-concert\, emphasis will be placed on the compositional aspects of the album’s five tracks\, all written by Miles Davis (two in collaboration with pianist Bill Evans)\, and how these seemingly simple compositions serve as perfect vehicles for the development of a new improvisational language. For this purpose\, a sextet of young Portuguese jazz talents active in recent projects has been assembled. \n  \n ⇒ This concert is part of the 100 Years of Miles and Coltrane  \n  \n ⇒  3-day pass (all concerts) – 75€  ⇒ BUY \n\nChão Maior (8 may at 8:00pm)\nNew Birth of the Cool –  Carlos Azevedo Ensemble (9 may at 3:00pm)\nBela-Nafa (9 may at 5:00pm)\nMiles Ahead – Orquestra do Hot Clube com Ralph Alessi  (9 may at 8:00pm)\nKind of Blue – Ensemble do Hot Clube with comentários by Pedro Moreira (10 may at 12:00pm)\nFor the beauty of the Gesture – Quodlibet Quintet  (10 may às 4:00pm)\nJohn O’Gallagher Trio (10 may at 8:00pm)

SUMMARY:For the Beauty of the Gesture - Quodlibet Quintet
DESCRIPTION:Approaching Bach’s music within a jazz context is\, to say the least\, a bold proposal. From the outset\, I felt I should do it with a strong\, fresh\, and prejudice-free gesture\, taking advantage of listeners’ expectations. I wanted to continue exploring polytemporal music\, with a nod to Steve Reich’s phasing\, as well as experimenting with musical collage by overlapping elements from different compositions\, fostering new sonic and referential relationships. \nThis project is a blend of reverence and irreverence: irreverence in transforming Bach’s music at a fundamental level\, and reverence in imitating the German master’s gesture—mixture. The mixture of the popular with the sacred\, of intellectual construction with the physical dimension so present in his keyboard music. \nQuodlibet is the result of a dialogue between this music\, written over several months\, and the voices of some of the leading figures in Portuguese jazz\, who have contributed their perspective\, imagination\, and sound. — Daniel Bernardes \n  \n ⇒ This concert is part of the 100 Years of Miles and Coltrane  \n  \n ⇒  3-day pass (all concerts) – 75€  ⇒ BUY \n\nChão Maior (8 may at 8:00pm)\nNew Birth of the Cool –  Carlos Azevedo Ensemble (9 may at 3:00pm)\nBela-Nafa (9 may at 5:00pm)\nMiles Ahead – Orquestra do Hot Clube com Ralph Alessi  (9 may at 8:00pm)\nKind of Blue – Ensemble do Hot Clube with comentários by Pedro Moreira (10 may at 12:00pm)\nFor the beauty of the Gesture – Quodlibet Quintet  (10 may às 4:00pm)\nJohn O’Gallagher Trio (10 may at 8:00pm)
