Autumn Leaves Jazz Festival Mania
Luxembourg - If the fall of autumn leaves el'orgiastica energy of jazz music are entwined in a romantic French kiss in the notes of
Autumn Leaves J. Kosma, much more power is the taste left by the fourth round of Luxembourg with the 'Autumn Leaves Jazz Festival
: 10 concerts (34 artists) for 3 days (15/17.10.2010) of sound and visual enjoyment in the halls of the Cultural Center of 'Abbey of Neumünster (ccrn.lu). The underlying theme of the event, only the promotion of emerging jazz (jail.lu), the diversity of styles, strong stage presence of artists and, despite clear signs of experimentation, the lack of real free jazz. Among the Italian guests, outstanding performance by Enrico Rava
that, with great generosity, has been able to highlight the artistic virtuosity of
Gianluca Petrella (trombone) and young
Giovanni Guidi (piano) and Peter
Leveratto (bass). Refined taste, then, the show's trio of
Oliver Strauch (drums)
Kenny Werner (piano) that gave a unique interpretation of
Estate Bruno Martino, and
Autumn Leaves. Rock to jazz instead of the Trio
Christof Lauer (sax), with the hilarious
Michel Godard (tuba) and the voice of trials Patrice Heral (drums). And if among the young, emerging 25-year old French
Anne Pace has attracted the critical attention to the sensuality of his drums, the last performance in the program, the trio of French
Mèlosolex (
Vincent Peirani ,
Charolles and Denis Fred
Gastard ) has probably been the highest in terms of public involvement, heterogeneity of styles (gypsy, rock, pop, folk) and instruments (accordion, drums, sax, bass, tenor sax, soprano sax, bugle, utensils). Published in
