Remixing European Jazz Culture (Transnational Studies in Jazz)

 


Remixing European Jazz Culture examines a jazz culture that emerged in the 1990s in cosmopolitan cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Berlin, London, and Oslo – energised by the introduction of studio technologies into the live performance space, which has since developed into internationally recognised, eclectic, hybrid jazz styles. This book explores these oft-overlooked musicians and their forms that have nonetheless expanded the plane of jazz’s continued prosperity, popularity, and revitalisation in the twenty-first century – one where remix is no longer the sole domain of studio producers.

Seeking to update the orthodoxies of the field of jazz studies, Remixing European Jazz Culture:

  • incorporates electronic and digital performance, recording, and distribution practices that have transformed the culture since the 1980s;
  • provides a more diverse and multifaceted cultural representation of European jazz and the contributions of a variety of performers; and
  • offers an encompassing picture of the depth of jazz practice that has erupted through Northern Europe since 1989.

With an expansion of international networks and a disintegration of artistic boundaries, the collaborative, performative, and real-time improvisational process of remixing has stimulated a merging of the music’s past and present within European jazz culture.

Scott Hamilton & Bucky Pizzarelli • The Red Door Remember Zoot Sims

 



Review by Jim Santella (All About Jazz):
The tribute to Zoot Sims by Scott Hamilton and Bucky Pizzarelli is, as one would expect, wrinkle-free, easy on the ears, and nostalgic. The duo has chosen tunes associated, in one way or another, with the tenor saxophonist who delighted audiences for some 40 years; Sims passed away in 1985 at age 59. Allowing each voice to be heard unobstructed while still providing ample interaction, the duo format works well; Pizzarelli worked and recorded briefly as a duo with Zoot Sims. His 7-string electric model allows the guitarist to supply a bass line, rhythm/harmony and melody. Scott Hamilton's reputation precedes him; the full, relaxed tenor sound is quite pleasant. Zoot Sims and Al Cohn wrote "Morning Fun," which aptly describes the session. The saxophonist and guitarist fill the air with a style of music that remains pleasurable to fans of all jazz sub-genres, while performing songs familiar to most. "Just You, Just Me" includes a guitar solo in which Pizzarelli allows the enthusiasm to take him through string slaps and strums that exert additional rhythmic force. Elsewhere, the duo harmonizes and takes turns improvising on the familiar melodies without ever losing sight of the swing in jazz. Highly recommended.

Reseña de Jim Santella (All About Jazz) - Traducción:
El tributo a Zoot Sims de Scott Hamilton y Bucky Pizzarelli es, como era de esperar, impecable, agradable al oído y nostálgico. El dúo ha elegido temas asociados, de una forma u otra, con el saxofonista tenor que deleitó al público durante unos 40 años; Sims falleció en 1985 a los 59 años. Permitiendo que cada voz sea escuchada sin obstrucciones mientras aún proporciona amplia interacción, el formato de dúo funciona bien; Pizzarelli trabajó y grabó brevemente como dúo con Zoot Sims. Su modelo eléctrico de 7 cuerdas permite al guitarrista suministrar una línea de bajo, ritmo/armonía y melodía. La reputación de Scott Hamilton lo precede; el sonido de tenor lleno y relajado es bastante placentero. Zoot Sims y Al Cohn escribieron "Morning Fun", que describe con precisión la sesión. El saxofonista y el guitarrista llenan el aire con un estilo de música que sigue siendo placentero para los fanáticos de todos los subgéneros del jazz, mientras interpretan canciones familiares para la mayoría. "Just You, Just Me" incluye un solo de guitarra en el que Pizzarelli permite que el entusiasmo lo lleve a través de golpes y rasgueos de cuerdas que ejercen fuerza rítmica adicional. En otras partes, el dúo armoniza y se turna improvisando sobre las melodías familiares sin perder nunca de vista el swing en el jazz. Muy recomendado.
