Nefertiti / Alex van Heerden _ Magnus Johansson 4.10.2008 CD


Nefertiti

Alex van Heerden Trumpet/programming

Magnus Johansson upright piano

 

CQCD-013

distributor : ultra-vybe

about the project:
" I have a love/hate relationship with jazz - A music tragically stylized in recent years.
Fortunately I find myself very much on the periphery of the 'human, all too human' aspect of this music: I live in a small rural town in the brink of the South African Karoo desert, and my fellow jazz lovers here are the myriads of insects that appear in my horse-stable/studio throughout the day...
Unavoidably, I have to wonder what a jazz-standard would sound like to an insect.
Would its time frame be different, the song lasting for hours? The sound of piano and brushes combined with the rustling of wings and the crackling of legs?
The machine-like rigidity of insect bodies projecting ritualistic repetitive tasks onto the abstract fluidity of Lee Konitz or Miles Davis?
I have always liked the Davis standard 'Nefertiti'. The lush chords, the reference to an African queen!
And particularly the endless repetition of the beautiful melody.
I decided to apply repetition in a different way: A microcosmic view of each chord, repeating over and over until the innate nature of the chord becomes felt.
To a human listening to Davis' version, each chord only lasts about 2 seconds before moving to the next one... My version simulates the intense experience an insect might have of each chord as it prolongs, swaying, rising, falling...
Nefertiti was created during a particularly hot summer, temperatures in my studio reaching an average of 35 or more every day, languid heat and erotic claustrophobia seeping into the music. During this time I also travelled to Cape Town to play trumpet in the new year Cape 'Klopse' Carnival, and the hypnotic 'goema' rhythms travelled back with me to Tulbagh.
Throughout the recording of the trumpet, I was aware of the presence of the Cape Jazz legends that I have worked with: Robbie Jansen, Hilton Schilder, Winston Mankunku, Mac McKenzie; they have blessed me by initiating me into ways of playing jazz outside of the usual stereotypes."
Alex van Heerden

Press Release  


" It has been too difficult for me to explain about myself, I guess." Yoshihiro Hanno laughs to himself. Where did he come from? His latest -GRAFFITI & RUDE BOY 67'- proves it.Needless to say, each word directly refers to its mental support: graffiti is for hip hop and rude-boy is for reggae, and this album is overwhelmed by sensuality of black music.We can express this album as the work that Yoshihiro Hanno who has always been proving himself by mixed existence and complicated crash of many types of
musical factor since he had appeared to the scene in 1997 as Multiphonic Ensemble had simply surfaced the love to his own roots on purpose reconsidering his origin and undserfoot. As being reflected in track titles like 'Rude Boy Anthem' 'Block Science' also, it is roots that music of New York and Jamaica, in other words, hip hop, dub and jazz, which he had actually experienced in the place in late 80s.
However, there is no possibility to be finished this album as simply back-to-basic and the good-old-days sound, for sure. -GRAFFITI & RUDE BOY 67'- shows surfacing of roots music because of passing through function of dance which was investigated through on "9modules.+" and precise composition which put huge range of sound that is from brass to electronics into shape beautifully, which was completed on "Lido" once, that is why the work had avoided to be done as classical dub or hip hop easily.
'Sexual Fiction' which features jazzy vocal and chopped French rap alongside sensuality and nobility. 'Rock Steady' which is getting mixed acoustic instruments including double bass, acoustic guitar and alt sax with electronics precisely. 'Rude Boy Anthem' which is minimal dub track like boldly expanded reggae's basic aesthetics:"Stay Cool" feeling. 'Block Science' which is strange electro/minimal house track like we could listen on "9modules.+". 'Till the Dawn' which soaks Terry's voice quietly and
deeply into and is getting meshed Yoshihiro Hanno's aspect of indoor music and hip hop roots drawing arc. 'Dub Suite' that is 3-parts-suite and explodes his great skill of composition, which is fully shown on "Lido", again in the framework of dub. 'Sound System 2004' which is simple but filled with deep reverbiration.Supporting -GRAFFITI & RUDE BOY 67'- is the role as recycle equipment which revives memory of term that roots music was filled with creativity, extremely physical and shown off its heat, and also the function as lighting equipment which displays much more "the future" inlaying such roots into the modern context.
" Music which is hot as blood and transparent as water" This is the word that Yoshihiro Hanno who symbolized, blessed and sticked to "diversity of music" itself without fear in his various musical styles had explained in his own words placing the word as common feeling through all of his works.This word is brilliantly penetrated also on this album. I think it will be "hotness of blood" indicates "thickness with history of black music" and "transparency of water" does "to progress it boldly without limitation of its roots". Of course, "hotness of blood" and "transparency of water" is wonderfully breathing also on this music not only as making sense for background of this work but also as its image and it is exactly the core of "the music": Yoshihiro Hanno.
Finally, I am putting profile of 2 artists:rapper and vocalist-BLACK CROM and TERRY, who both play important role in this album as follows.

BLACK CROM:
BLACK CROM is from Gabonese Republic, Africa. He had moved to France at age of 10 after parents died.Since then, he has been there and lives a small town called amiens, where locates a little further north than Paris at present.He had entered world of rap about 8 years ago and organized rap team called BLACK BIZAR and started live performances. Last year, In 2003, he had made his debut maxi single which includes 6 tracks getting cooperation of Yoshihiro Hanno. It is released in France in 2004.

TERRY (Terumi Shoji):
TERRY had studied in the US when she was student and touched black music of the place. Yoshihiro Hanno who is attracted by her nature deep and heavy voice and way of sensual expressing featured his own work and she is also participated in Lido Ensemble.
