"Lady In Jazz": a little jazz and 4 women

Moscow 16 on Saturday night October with "16 tons" festival took four "Lady In Jazz". Festival - there's always a certain disc. What a piece - it's organizers, and sometimes they get cut pretty bizarre. In most cases, the gourmet event, the degree of success it enjoys. However, the fears proved groundless: Collect the number of listeners is comfortable - comfortable to fully understand what is happening, but not to be trampled amount, as it is often in top performances. The participants of the festival: Mariam and "Miraif" Nina Karlsson, Guru Groove Foundation, Alissid jazz - four teams is on the idea of the organizers, the feminine face of Russian jazz Or could it be something else, the mainstream - just Merabov.? . Mariam This is a singer with her talent, without a trace of irony, a lump can be called -.. not bite it vocal that absorbs exciting to the microphone, the most voiceless singer Miriam sings jazz, the blues and ... blues as jazz In a word - tradition and beautiful Miriam opens the Festival Open the concert is not always easy, which entered public will develop a relationship with the audience, light, sound - everything is uncertain, but the second track, students are chosen near the stage. Contact with the audience! The program set sound "Rout 66" plush ballad "Love a Man" ... ended with a sentence composition "Fever" Peggy Lee authorship. Swing rhythm ends, delivery from phrase to phrase with each new circle what. The audience in complete ecstasy Mariam and "Miraif" After such a strong start, it seems difficult to surprise room. What are the other actors? On stage, Nina Karlsson - shot singer, a half years ago. Who is she? In appearance - whether Gothic or vamp ... It identifies in her music or jazz, even as style themselves Nina, "sincere jazz"? None or almost none. Sometimes too, in their way of singing slip infantile tone Lisa Ekdahl. It is made of plastic, sometimes in their movements somewhat doll-kabaretnoe legendary "Hummingbird". But the singer is pereoblachitsya in jeans because an unexpected groove stringy. You go on stage, looking around and evaluating the effect produced. You can look at it with irony, but not much attention - originality and win surprise Nina. A song about chocolate and ginger - all one hundred percent hit. Impression of speech "is not for them more than ever to go in my life" to "I want more, and as soon as possible." Probably an effect of the festival less emotion because of the limited format of the presentation (including time). Guru Groove Foundation Guru Groove Foundation - headliner. After a few days they will participate in the "Lady In Jazz" (part 2) in St. Petersburg, "waiting room." But on 16 October they were in Moscow "16 tons". GGF - vibrant mix of styles. In the heart of breakbeat, and on it the rest of the salad superimposed. Several loops and samples, overlaps begin sequentially. The scene vibrates. Your weight lotions, three pieces keyboard. And the keyboard is not on the keyboard. Stylistic difference feel? Not without its black base - echoes of soul and funk, which explicitly looked implicitly where by almost all compositions. Not a fan of electronic dance, I would be proud if the dance-party music played GGF. Her house is a multi-layered construction that suggests just cram and rhythm. GGB poliritmichna music and, perhaps surprisingly, it sounds amazing polyphonic. Group invites the nerves to the limit. Groove swing these guys probably can, and much more than the "16 tons", the website and all the audience very tempted. Closes the festival "Jazz Alissid 'new line-up and program updates. The group now has two keyboards (or rather, the keyboard player and keyboardist), was replaced by vocalist. Like everything was in place - "Jazz at the inherent woman's appearance, sophistication, rhythmic patterns and natural coloring in the common African and European cultures," except that with the departure of Katie Kundalini "Alissid Jazz" lost sound and splendor. Group looks stretched across the stage. And not flattened in a physical visual sense and his own music, which has become more electronic. Lost surround sound. Perhaps it's not a matter of time play and simply full of musicians? The case is just before midnight. Burnt to start from the students to reach the door. Speech last group is blurred - not enough time. Sounds traditional soundtrack, "Sixteen Tons" Merle Travis. The festival closed. But for some reason, the scene did not hear the last word from the organizers. Perhaps they are simply waiting for the end, and in the night? And, perhaps, do not you think not rename to call the festival "Lady In Groove"? Andrew ORDALONOV "Showbiz News NEWSmusic.ru» Photos - website
