Nota mental: no depilarme las ingles mientras conduzco

Si bebes no conduzcas. Tampoco si te estás depilando las ingles.

La patrulla de carretera de Florida informó de una colisión entre dos vehículos causada cuando la conductora de uno de ellos se depilaba "la zona del bikini" mientras su ex marido manejaba el volante desde el asiento del copiloto.

Joe Zawinul - My People

2010-03-08T22:31:51+00:00

If one must indulge in categories, My People, featuring the Zawinul Syndicate and a United Nations coterie of guests, probably belongs on the vast world music shelf, the links to so-called jazz now so tenuous as to be nearly, but not quite, invisible. On the percolating "Slivovitz Trail," "Orient Express," "Many Churches," and the Caribbean-tinged cleverly titled "In an Island Way," the music does suggest earlier versions of the Syndicate, and Joe Zawinul's nostalgic evocations of Wayne Shorter on the Korg Pepe reach back even further. Otherwise, Zawinul is looking entirely toward ethnic cultures for musical sustenance. The musical structures are linear, the rhythms full of intricacies welded to Zawinul's love affair with the groove, the synthesizer textures usually sparer than ever. There are vocals in several languages by Zawinul's longtime colleague Salif Keita (for whom Zawinul produced a great album in 1991), Syndicate percussionist Arto Tuncboyaciyan, a throat vocal specialist from South Siberia named Bolot, Thania Sanchez, Zawinul himself, and several others. When translated, the lyrics speak of joy and unity among the cultures, and there isn't any doubt that Zawinul's bubbling music feeds the message of uplift. Hear it; you purists may be jiggling along in spite of yourselves. - by Richard S. Ginell, AMG

Roy Ayers - Vibesman (Live at Ronnie Scotts)

2010-03-06T14:08:16+00:00

Roy Ayers, legendary practioner of the hottest, jazziest funk since the early 70's, has achieved God-like status with acid-jazz and rare groove audiences worlwide. His frequent sell-out visits to London's Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club are unmissable events, every evening an energetic, inspired, funked-up party. Re-live here the genius of this enigmatic vibesman where he does it best... live at Ronnie's. - from the CD booklet

Roy Ayers is in the foyer of his surrogate home, Ronnie Scott's (the Los Angeles vibraphone player, singer, band leader and jazz legend holds the record for selling out the venue), holding court and meeting and greeting his audience as they come through the door. He shakes you by the hand and wishes you a good new year - it seems like the most natural thing in the world. Ayers is commonly known as "vibes man", for his innate gift of radiating positive, feelgood vibes through his music. But in hip-hop circles, Ayers is the "icon man", thanks to the volume of his samples and breaks appropriated by the genre (P Diddy, The Roots and A Tribe Called Quest, among many others). It's not only hip-hop that owes Ayers a debt of gratitude - he fused jazz and disco in the 1970s and formed a fruitful relationship with the Black President, Fela Kuti, in the 1980s. Soul artists, including Betty Wright (Joss Stone's mentor and co-writer) and Erykah Badu particularly, have worked with Ayers extensively. His influence is also apparent in contemporary dance music - Ayers contributed two tracks to Masters at Work's 1997 Nuyorican Soul; arguably house's finest LP. The 64-year-old, wearing a charcoal-grey suit, black T-shirt and a thick gold link chain, exudes the energy of a man half his age. Ayers and his partner in crime, Ray Gaskins (singer, keys and saxophonist), are consummate, old-school showmen - the banter between the two is automatic. The line-up's completed by another keyboard player, two guitars (electric and bass) and a drummer. The formal introductions come after set opener "Searching", sung by Ayers holding four vibraphone batons (two red, two grey in each hand respectively). It sums up Ayers music - it's honest and life-affirming, yet inquisitive and penetrating. "We Live in Brooklyn, Baby", taken from Destination Motherland, captures and celebrates the ghetto struggle. Its, "We live in Brooklyn, baby", chorus is hilariously twisted to, "We shop in Tesco, baby", by Gaskins. Vocals take a back-seat as its rigid deep funk comes to the fore. It gets deeper as the electric guitarist, dubbed Thunderfoot, riffs and cranks up the feedback. Ayers' vibraphone provides the pyschotropic embellishment and the gig's crowning moment comes when Gaskins, astoundingly, plays the saxophone with one hand and keys with the other. Ayers deflects the audience's rapturous appreciation away from himself and towards the band by turning and gazing at each of them, with an expression of wide-eyed awe. It's straight into "Everybody Loves the Sunshine", featuring a magical vibraphone solo that illuminates the dark, basement jazz club, as Ayers leads the audience through the chorus. Ayers was once asked how he would like to be remembered. "As someone who spread goodwill through his music and made people happy", he replied. Ayers has more than achieved this goal. - by Paul Fraser (Independent, UK)

Renaud Garcia-Fons - Alboreá

2010-03-04T22:36:20+00:00

Jazz has taken some unexpected directions in Europe. Garcia-Fons is a double-bass player, and he leads a French quartet that consists of himself, another double-bass player, an accordionist and a drummer. In this arrangement, Garcia-Fons exploits the huge range of the bass to play melody, while the other bassist large plays the traditional low part. The well-known artist closest to Garcia-Fons' sound would have to be Astor Piazzolla, and indeed Alboreá does contain one tango, anagrammatically entitled "Natgo." Garcia-Fons also makes use of other world music sources, such as the Moorish sound of "Secret Zambra." And many of the tracks, not surprisingly, seem to owe something to French musette. Although Garcia-Fons might like to say his biggest musical influence was Charlie Mingus, it sometimes sounds as if his real mentor was André Previn, not just as jazz musician but as film score composer. Some of the tracks on Alboreá, like the title track, are very "big" and dramatic. However, the real show is, of course, the bass playing. Just to give one example, on "Amadu" you will think they snuck in an electric guitar, distortion and all, without crediting the musician -- until you realize that it's Garcia-Fons plucking and bowing away on his bass. Both those coming to this disc out of the jazz world and those interested in international music will find something to latch onto in this substantial and passionate album. - by Kurt Keefner, AMG

Franck Avitabile - Right Time

2010-03-03T18:10:06+00:00

Franck Avitabile continues to grow as a pianist with his second Dreyfus release. An earlier CD was produced by the late pianist Michel Petrucciani, who obviously saw this newcomer as one filled with promise. Although Petrucciani died just prior to the taping of these sessions, he is obviously present in the spirit of Avitabile's playing. Joined by veteran first-call bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Roberto Gatto, the pianist starts off with an attractive original jazz waltz, "Miss Laurence." He follows it up with a well disguised and somewhat dark introduction to Dave Brubeck's normally joyful "In Your Own Sweet Way"; his journey through this often recorded jazz standard is also atypical. He also avoids predictability with his intriguing chart of Dizzy Gillespie's "Con Alma" and the venerable standard "Cherokee." His "Right Time!" is a smoking bop number that features Pedersen's tremendous solo chops, while "Song for Evan" is a touching ballad that has an almost reverent quality. Louis Petrucciani, Michel's brother, takes over for Pedersen on his own soulful "Blues for the Stars" and the leader's samba-flavored "Facin' Up." Highly recommended. - by Ken Dryden, AMG
