Boleria, Solea y Rumba- Maria Schneider Orchestra

[AmirAmiriAmirAmiri]

Killer! Thanks.

[WHACKBUSH]

I have to be honest, I've never even heard of Gisbert, but that is one sick solo he just took. WOW! What a flight....

[intlprofs]

Symphonic jazz masterpiece, sorely wounded by the trumpet's first 2/3 of his participation

[intlprofs]

Almost Speechless.

[SALLEMJAZZ]

Yeah Gisbert, you monster.

[bonettilucas]

Maria!!

[aarongodin]

I played alto 2 on this song at UW-Eau Claire last year. There's been no creative experience in my life to match it yet. What a masterpiece.

[LPKlugh]

This boggles my mind. After all the juke box music, music amplified to make up for lack of content, music lacking dynamics, and so much more that has made me pessimistic about the direction, I am reborn with wonder and awe at this bright lady. Yes, there is a god in heaven and I have heard the echo of his music in the distance. I promise I'll be listening to more of Maria Schneider.

[LEONCODAJJ]

La SOLEÁ que dije existe en esta pieza, se puede considerar mejor como BULERIAS POR SOLEA. al ser una soleá algo más rápida que la soleá propiamente dicha , que es algo más lenta.

[LEONCODAJJ]

No es BOLERIA ( REALMENTE BULERIA sería) . Es un ritmo de TANGOS FLAMENCOS. A partir de minuto 5:00 o un poco antes sí aparece un ritmo de SOLEÁ . De RUMBAS no hay nada.

¡¡FORMIDABLE MARIA SNEIDER!!

[marduk111]

boleria :P  that made me laugh

[FizzyBoo15]

i love this song so much! it makes me feel good(: and when the conductor gets that proud look on her face, it reminds me of all the concerts i've been in. i could recognize that expression anywhere. :3

[kzm25697]

great!

[pierofala]

I love this tune!

[ylia88gon]

La vi hace 2 años en Barcelona y fue increíble!!

[BeaGagli]

Lindo! Belo! Superbe!!! Thanks thanks for this!!!!

[macatcas]

Is there a difference between "boleria" and buleria, the Spanish rhythm?

[chopsofsteel37]

I've got a copy of the score to this, and it definitely says "bUleria, solea y rumba" at the top. I think this is just the rumba, though. Y que linda!

[macatcas]

Gracias. Yo estaba confundida. Si, creo que es una musica maravillosa.

[EJRodriguez58]

This is extraordinarily beautiful!

[boyke09]

The great music i've ever heard...

[conoroneil]

Seeing this band in concert is one of the musical highlights of my life.

[diogoarrebola]

Sem comentários!!!

[henrysinaga]

So Rich

[shuki09]

I'm 78 years old. listened to American Forces Radio Jazz in Europe WW1 as a boy. Grew up with all the big bands, Ellington /Stan Kenton Miles Davis etc. and then heard this on my car radio 3 years ago and it stunned me, I had to pull up on the side of the road. I bought the disc. Maria's music is the greatest I ever heard. So exciting. I wish she would do a concert here downunder.

[Superphilipp]

@shuki09 I don't think your age and the dates of WW1 overlap.

[darsiempredar]

Amazing!!!!!!

[Rono49]

Absolutely exquisite.

What a pool of talent on that stage!

Bravo!!!

[unalegeli]

dinlendirici

[Bopeliano]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful tune ...

Maria Schneider is a GREAT composer !

[ecotts]

This sounds great... :)

[magkalosz]

BEAUTIFUL TRUELY BEAUTIFUL!

[bassboner]

Does anyone know where these videos are from, or if they're available anywhere?

[comedon]

Those videos have been shot by mathias Ledoux for his last film "New York jazz ballad" (2005) dealing with NY jazz clubs.

It was produced and broadcasted by the french division of the french&german channel "Arte", one of the finest channel on earth.

Sadly, I don't think it's available on video.

[ErictheJazzer]

Those of you in 'the know' and with tastes for modern European jazz will know that Maria has here been heavily influenced by the compositions and big-band arrangements of British based Kenny Wheeler. Kenny has employed Norma Winstone's voice in his arrangements for decades.

No criticism of Maria's work intended. Her work is immaculate in its conception.

[trumpetsav]

ps. this recording does not do Gisberts tone justice and I personally prefer him on trumpet.

[trumpetsav]

This is my favourite of her tunes. The orchestration is brilliant- i love the yearning of the bass with the dark reed tones and transcendant voice.

[kaloebone]

Maria number ONE!!!!

[Raidrone]

Great Performance by a great writer and orchestrator.

[jazzmanta]

Gisbert for president!

[theskankinponch]

hell yeah

[ManOfRhythm]

That was a great musical/visual journey that I will soon take again. Will make a point to experience it live. Fantastic!

[sidthinker]

is maria, or is she not, really and truly, one of the sweetest, and most beautiful women god has ever thought to produce? shewie.

[Jazzguitar00]

I don't know about most beautiful, but anything that's lacking is surely made up for the fact that she organizes, conducts, and writes for arguabley the best big band in the world and she studies with Bob Brookmeyer.

I need a woman like that in my life.

[TonyBurrell2]

Impressive!

[GLQSAX]

Have you the DVD? Where you buy?

thanks

[EvanAllen91]

The best big band in the world.

[bobshishkabob05]

totally agree

[anwardrum]

Jeff Ballard on Cahon?

[bobnrio]

Yep, é ele mesmo (no cajon..

[idoneo666]

maria schneider la llea

[theskankinponch]

Greg Gis' is absolutely flawless in this

its unbelievable

the whole piece is amazing!!

[dashrood]

Wow! Well done, Maria and musicians...dreams can come true!

[tilmanr]

is this on a live concert dvd? if so, where is it available?

[supermarito79]

beautiful piece

[sandstone8]

check out wayne shorter native dancer album from the 70's with milton nasciemento instumental voice for an older example.

[sandstone8]

500 characters or less makes for chopped up posts! i also wanted to include wayne shorter's native dancer album from the late 70's which featured milton nasciemento compositions and 'voice as instrument'. there is some history for brasilian music influence in jazz music..

[sandstone8]

part 2 -this is a brasilian tradition that has influenced some jazz musicians, but i don't know if it was an influence on norma winstone/kenny wheeler material.. it might have been too.

[sandstone8]

to ericthejazzer : some of what you say is true,but you overlook the influence brasilian music has had on many jazz musicians. pat metheny was using a male 'voice' as instrument on numerous recordings from back in the 80's and he certianly was influenced by brazilian music as is maria as well. bob moses was doing this back in the early 90's as well with a female voice - luciana souza.. i think..

[idoneo666]

genial compositora

extraordinario jazz...!!!!

[ErictheJazzer]

If you jazz-loving guys out there know anything about modern jazz featuring a female voice as an 'instrument' in ensemble big-band playing you'll know that Maria Schneider has been influenced by the great British-based jazz composer, arranger and trumpeter Kenny Wheeler - and the British jazz singer Norma Winstone. Great stuff, Maria ! Good to see you paying your respects to Kenny and Norma.

[bpheard]

Response to Sean- Greg Gisbert plays the solo on the album.

[S89L]

Are you sure? I'm quite certain I've read that Ingrid plays it (my source is Maria Schneider's website) I could be wrong...

[S89L]

wait you're right, silly me.

[simguit]

You seem to know her quite a bit. What is the best album I could buy from her?

[S89L]

Sorry, I actually don't know her playing that well at all. I just thought she always had the solo chair in MSO, but it appears I'm mistaken. Go check out her website, she might have some clips of her playing there.

[simguit]

I was talking about Maria Schneider

[S89L]

Oops! Concert in the Garden and Sky Blue are available for download from Artistshare (you need to sign up) and her online CDs are about 10 bucks (american). The best albums in my opinion are the two I've mentioned above... go check it out on her site.

[LeRoyGuy]

This song is off of Concert in the Garden. But all of her music is great.

[stpd1957]

Fabulous music, thanks for posting.

[symiankrone]

greg blows circles around ingrid, gotta toss him a bone once in a while.

[maxml415]

not really

[KassPH]

Ingrid owns.

[S89L]

Both are cool.

[KassPH]

agreed.

[SeanLittle88]

How come Ingrid didn't take the solo? Greg sounded fine, just curious

[bassplaya84]

craigroth1991's right. And I agree, this is one of her best songs

[craigroth1991]

This song isn't called Pas de Deux. It's actually the end section of her chart, Boleria, Solea y Rumba. (One of her best songs by the way).
