Culture News. Air of 28.04.2018 St. Petersburg - Сapital of "International Day of Jazz"

Alexander Dovgopoly's debut EP album is short, it sounds a little more than 20 minutes, as if the disc were released for the ears of “fast and efficient” Internet users, but this was not the case. On the cool as in spring scene of the Jazz Day ‑ 2018 in St. Petersburg, and Alexander was among the musicians representing Russia there, it seemed that the project sounded tight and powerful, almost like jazz-rock-fusion. But the album is easier and more airy. This is music of unconditional pleasantness, functionality, made with impeccable taste. This album proves that any style can and should be creative, it’s just about hands, brains, the art of the performer. That you can play light music the way it’d seemed serious and intelligent, but could also be used as a background. Yes, and at the airports there must be something to play - so that all people are not afraid to go there, but not something “to the taste” - from chanson to Stockhausen. But smooth-jazz of Alexander Dovgopoly, music that wants to give the listener a rest and sigh, can sound in a situation, in which you need to remain calm. Dovgopoly as part of Igor Butman Big Band played a lot with the stars of world jazz and has learned good and beautiful. Adorning sound arrangement secrets, entertaining electronics, intersections of wind voices please professionals and attentive listeners. So, smooth-jazz, probably, has never been played here so relaxed and freshly, although this ratio of smooth / jazz / funk / fusion styles is quite in demand by everyone. But it works out for everyone in different ways. Dovgopoly is famous for participating in many wonderful music fusion-projects. Some friends are involved in his compositions. In “Enjoy”, Pavel Chekmakovsky’s guitar sparkles with sounds, Vladimir Galaktionov’s trumpet weaves enchanted routes with a saxophone in the title composition. Peter Ivshin's drums are various and smart, I really liked the romantic acoustic guitar of Fedor Dosumov in “Gato”, who is famous for his performance in advanced pop and cool fusion projects as well, I remember the pounding bass of Anton Davidyants, the piano of Evgeny Revnyuk and the iridescent sound of the Rhodes of Anton Baronin. In the album you may imagine the heritage of the beautiful and famous fusion shadows of the past - Sadao Watanabe or Grover Washington, Jr., other masters of saxophone beauty. It sounds easy to perceive, smiling music in such a way that it does not seem a sound wallpaper or sound background at all. You want to listen to every breath of instruments over and over again, despite the fact that this music is not overloaded with concepts and ideas. So, what, did Dovgopoly's album seem short to us? Well, that means you can listen to it again. FacebookVKTwitterTEXT: ALEXANDER V. VOLKOV 10/19/2018

All that jazz Dee Dee Bridgewater sang in Moscow 04/12/2011 Concert tour In the year of her jubilee, American jazz diva Dee Dee Bridgewater visited Russia as part of a tour dedicated to the album of songs from the repertoire of Billie Holiday . From the hall of the Moscow International House of Music - BORIS BARABANOV. Even before Dee Dee Bridgewater appeared on the scene, it became clear that it would not be boring. The orchestra of Igor Butman, appointed to accompany the singer, warmed up the audience very well before she went on stage. The musicians were clearly in shape, and besides, the leader of the band conferred in his fervent manner: “Let's meet the heroine of the evening , for real, in St. Petersburg style ! Oh, in Moscow style ...”. In May, Dee Dee Bridgewater will be 60 years old. When she appeared on the stage of the Moscow International House of Music (MIHM), many probably had a desire to check with Wikipedia. Dee Dee Bridgewater appeared in front of the audience in a bold, knee-length cutaway dress and an impressive necklace around her neck, and most importantly, the singer was absolutely bald! “The hairstyle takes too much time " - the singer admitted in a recent interview, whose indispensable part of the image, until recently, were thin African braids. Dee Dee Bridgewater’s visit was devoted to an album of songs from the Billie Holiday’s catalogue "Eleanora Fagan (1915-1959): To Billie With Love From Dee Dee", which was released last year. Billie Holiday's repertoire accompanies Dee Dee Bridgewater throughout her career. Once Mrs. Bridgewater even released a musical about the life of the great predecessor. The heroine of the evening specially noted that the birthday of Billie Holiday happened just on the eve of the Moscow concert. Obeying the conductor's passages of Dee Dee Bridgewater, the MIHM audience in the very first minutes of her stay on the stage started singing : "Happy birthday, Billy!". Also the program included songs from the repertoire of Ella Fitzgerald, for which she received one of her Grammy in 1997. Ms. Bridgewater gave brief and succinct comments on the songs of her older colleagues. Her remarks sounded as if it was a serious educational radio program - in contrast to the endless friendly jokes with Igor Butman. Sometimes Dee Dee Bridgewater frankly exaggerated the teacher's intonation, reinforcing it with some sort of Central American accent. At the moments when Dee Dee Bridgewater gave vent to her acting talents, the fact that on stage was not only a jazz legend, but also a titled actress of musicals was coming to mind. In 1975, she received Tony for her role in The Wizard of Oz on Broadway, and later, after moving to France, Dee Dee Bridgewater played in “Cabaret”, becoming the first black singer to win the role of Sally Bowles. Before the performance of Billie Holiday’s "Lover Man", the mother of three children and the wife of three husbands, Dee Dee Bridgewater, stroking her brilliant skull, told the public that she was still in search of "her" man, to which several gentlemen, present in the hall, responded with enthusiastic exclamations, and the singer sent gentle question : "Where are you, dear?" somewhere to the balcony area. But it seemed, only those who were on stage really turned her on. The chemistry that has arisen between the singer and the orchestra has nothing to do with the typical and insipid compliments which any foreign artist , performing in Russia, is armed with. Dee Dee Bridgewater has been here since 1969, and she has named the band of Igor Butman one of the two best in the world. “This orchestra is really kicks butt,” said the singer from the MIHM stage, effectively sticking out the place that Mr. Butman and his colleagues kick. Dee Dee Bridgewater called the saxophonist and conductor exclusively “Butman” and in every way she played upon words around this so musically-sounding surname. The orchestra responded with traditional febrile solos, drummer Eduard Zizak especially distinguished himself. Dee Dee Bridgewater spared no time for the hot gestures of thanks and words addressed to each of the partners on the stage. At the beginning of the second part, when Dee Dee Bridgewater was still resting behind the scenes, the big band of Igor Butman performed his version of Caravan by Duke Ellington, the number that, according to leader Mr.Butman, is usually played at the end of the evening, when both the audience and the orchestra are “ripe”. Stepping onto the stage, Dee Dee Bridgewater first of all asked the public to separately applaud the author of the arrangement, Nikolay Levinovsky, who was present in the hall. Later she commented the play of Alexander Dovgopoly: “It’s not every day you hear such a baritone sax. He reminded me of Pepper Adams.” The vocal of Dee Dee Bridgewater affects you with the range and passion, which, of course, was in abundance. The singer gave an invaluable lesson of interaction with partners, both with solo musicians, and with the ensemble as a whole. It was not a diva on the stage, in the spotlight. It was an instrument of the orchestra, with which she plays far not every day. The singer, who worked with Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie, Dexter Gordon and other jazz classics, fit into the Russian orchestra as if in life, as on stage, everyday day she walks with Igor Butman on her arm, giving him ambiguous hints.

It was a show of great competence and fluency: a couple of the Russian band's star musicians, including the baritone saxophonist Alexander Dovgopoly and the trumpeter Artem Kovalchuk, played beautiful, hard-charging solos, thoroughly within the time, tonality and gestural language of mainstream, postwar big bands. >>>
