Until #Coltrane it’s possible to conceive of the jazz tenor #saxophone as essentially tributaries around two massive, distinct deltas: #ColemanHawkins, the rabble-rouser & Lester ‘The President’ or ‘Pres’ Young ⬇️. #Pres, #BillieHoliday’s friend, mentor & favourite sax player, defined a largely cross-accenting, vibrato-less style focusing on phrasing rather than timbre to determine improvisation approach. #LesterYoung, from which 2 significant tributaries #LeeKonitz & #WarneMarsh (=> #MarkTurner)

Dice la cantante portuguesa 🇵🇹 #SaraSerpa que "occidente comparte un vergonzoso pasado colectivo de ocupación, explotación, comercio de esclavos, opresión, racismo, segregación, violencia y abuso". Su nuevo trabajo, junto a #ZeenaParkins (arpa), #MarkTurner (saxo) y #DavidVirelles (piano) reflexiona sobre todo ello. Serpa pone música a la memoria en Super8 de su familia, a las imágenes de #Angola bajo el yugo portugués, en "Recognition: music for a silent film".
