Ed Calle • Ed Calle Plays Jobim

 

Biography
by Heather Phares
Born in Caracas of Spanish parents, Miami-based saxophonist Ed Calle owes his musical career to his father's love of music. When Calle and his family moved to America in 1966, his father suggested that Calle take some music classes. Calle picked tenor saxophone and took to it quickly, soon spending nearly all his free time practicing.

As a student at the University of Miami, Calle decided that music was his calling, and received a master's degree in jazz performance. Even before he left school, however, Calle played with artists like Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine, and toured with performers such as Julio Iglesias and Bob James. Calle has also worked as a sideman for Arturo Sandoval, Jon Secada, Vanessa Williams, and Frank Sinatra, as well as contributing to television and movie soundtracks.

Along with his Latin roots, Calle's playing style is influenced by his love of mathematics--he also holds a bachelor's degree in math from Florida International University. Calle shares his technical background and heritage with the elementary school children he lectures as a traveling music teacher. His solo albums Nightgames (1986), Double Talk (1996), and Sunset Harbor (1999) also reflect his prowess and passion as a musician. The new millennium saw the release of Twilight (2001) on Concord Jazz.

Throughout his career he has been nominated three times for Latin Grammy Awards: in 2005 for Ed Calle Plays Santana, in 2007 for In the Zone and in 2014 for Palo! Live. A year later he managed to win it in the Best Instrumental Album category with his album Mamblue. He earned a Grammy nomination in 2015 for Palo! Live.

Biografía
por Heather Phares
Nacido en Caracas de padres españoles, el saxofonista Ed Calle, afincado en Miami, debe su carrera musical al amor de su padre por la música. Cuando Calle y su familia se trasladaron a Estados Unidos en 1966, su padre le sugirió que tomara clases de música. Calle eligió el saxofón tenor y se aficionó rápidamente, por lo que pronto dedicó casi todo su tiempo libre a practicar.

Cuando estudiaba en la Universidad de Miami, Calle decidió que la música era su vocación y obtuvo un máster en interpretación de jazz. Sin embargo, incluso antes de dejar la universidad, Calle tocó con artistas como Gloria Estefan y Miami Sound Machine, y realizó giras con artistas como Julio Iglesias y Bob James. Calle también ha trabajado como músico de acompañamiento para Arturo Sandoval, Jon Secada, Vanessa Williams y Frank Sinatra, y ha colaborado en bandas sonoras de televisión y cine.

Además de sus raíces latinas, el estilo de tocar de Calle está influenciado por su amor a las matemáticas: también es licenciado en Matemáticas por la Universidad Internacional de Florida. Calle comparte sus conocimientos técnicos y su herencia con los niños de primaria a los que da clases como profesor de música itinerante. Sus álbumes en solitario Nightgames (1986), Double Talk (1996) y Sunset Harbor (1999) también reflejan su destreza y pasión como músico. En el nuevo milenio publicó Twilight (2001) en Concord Jazz.
