TDK presents a new release in its regular series of DVD
recordings of excellent jazz concerts. This new disc brings viewers a
night of bebop performed by the young pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba and his
trio at the Munich Piano Festival "Münchner Klaviersommer".
Gonzalo
Rubalcaba (born 1963), his bassist Ron Carter (1937) and his drummer
Julio Barreto (1967) appeared in the Munich Philharmonic Hall in July
1994. With two Cuban musicians in the group, the audience may have
expected hot Latin rhythms, but the heat rising from this trio was
definitely due more to the jazz tradition than to Latin American
influences. The group drew its repertoire from the classic bebop
numbers, with occasional excursions into more modern territory. Not
until the last piece in the regular programme did the musicians allow
themselves and their audience a trip to the Caribbean and even then,
they still employed the jazz vocabulary.
Gonzalo Rubalcaba's
technique is exceptional. He strings brilliant runs together with
sparkling rhythmic variants and he has a sense of drama that gives his
playing an edge that reaches beyond the bounds of excellent technical
standards.
Ron Carter and his bass may sound cool, rather recessed,
where he sits enthroned between his two younger colleagues, but as soon
as he touches his strings he is right on the scene and channelling the
overflowing energies of his fellow artists.
Julio Barreto skilfully
adopts the elders' musical ideas and eloquently pursues them. He
imaginatively wins himself a place at the side of the two better-known
artists and his style reveals his Latin roots.
From its
inception in 1981 under the auspices of the far-sighted and broadly
interested classical pianist, Friedrich Gulda, the Munich Piano Festival
"Münchner Klaviersommer" has challenged traditional perspectives on
piano music. Improvised music takes its place next to composed music and
European, American and African traditions all have an equal place on
the stage of the unusual festival.
TDK has kept track with the
festival's trends and currents and regularly publishes the highlights in
state-of-the art-recordings on DVD.
