Creole Clarinets - "Noites Cariocas"

at the New Orleans & Classics Festival in Ascona, Ticino, Switzerland

Performing dates: 29/6 - 5/7

Style: A tribute to Choro music / Traditional Jazz

France / Germany / Switzerland / England / Sweden

The project "Noites Cariocas" was born through an initiative of clarinetist/saxophonist Thomas L'Etienne, one of the main exponents in Europe of New Orleans Jazz and a great lover of Brazilian music. "Noites Cariocas" pays homage to "Choro" music, a genre developed around 1870 in Cidade Nova, a quarter of Rio de Janeiro inhabited prevalently by blacks, and, like jazz for African American culture, this music represents a synthesis between European dance music (polka, waltz, mazurka) and African rhythms. The connection between this music, jazz, and the culture of New Orleans is therefore very intense. Jazz and Choro have in common, too, their 'democratic' character: rather than placing the accent on the virtuosity of individual instruments, both have at their center the group's harmonic thrust. And, just as there are jam sessions in jazz, spaces for freedom and improvisation, in Choro music the "rodas" have played an important role: social events in which musicians play together, learning from one another. This summer, with the rhythms of "Noites Cariocas", it will be impossible not to tap one's foot under the stars of Ascona...

  • @jennilou68 What ever your opinion about my music is, it doesn't change polka into samba or choro.

  • @ssmusic214 I've just checked out your videos and I think you need to look closer to home before you comment on anyone else.

  • Guys need to learn some Brazilian rhythms.

    Sounds more like polka.

  • I am. What, could you tell by my accent?

    By the way, I'm not being prudish by any standard (I like both clarinets and scantily-clad women), but I've never seen or even imagined them together before.

  • yess, i know, heheh

  • yeah, its just a weird combination (clarinets and scantily-clad women)
