“An intimate portrait
of the music of Earl Zindars, and of his own.
I say, Bravissimo! to this fine young musician.
Listen well, and take this refreshing musical
journey with Luciano"
Anne Zindars
Viaggio dentro la musica e la personalità
di Earl Zindars (Chicago 1927- San Francisco 2005),
importante e prolifico compositore sia per il
jazz che per la musica classica.
Quattordici
composizioni liberamente tratte dal SongBook di
Earl Zindars, alcune di esse mai pubblicate su
disco prima d’ora, attraverso la visione
personale di Luciano Troja.
Il
CD contiene anche un libretto di 40 pagine a colori,
con testo in italiano ed inglese, con foto inedite
e testimonianze di prima mano sulla vita di Earl
Zindars, sulle sue composizioni, sul fondamentale
ruolo che ha avuto la famiglia per la sua arte
e per la sua ispirazione, e sul ruolo del compositore
nella evoluzione artistica di Bill Evans.
Zindars infatti è noto soprattutto per
la grande amicizia e la speciale empatia musicale
con il leggendario pianista Bill Evans, il quale
suonò e registrò le composizioni
di Earl Zindars lungo l’intero arco della
sua carriera.
Quasi
cinque anni per completare il lavoro, fra New
York, dove è stato registrato il CD, in
quattro diverse sessioni -ciascuna ad un anno
esatto di distanza- e San Francisco, dove Luciano
ha incontrato la famiglia del compositore che,
con grande affetto e fiducia, lo ha aiutato ad
approfondirne la personalità e la sua musica:
a moglie di Earl Zindars, Anne, cantante e compositrice
a sua volta, co-autrice, peraltro, di alcuni brani
fra cui la celeberrima “How My Heart Sings”,
e .le figlie: Helene, cantante lirica molto apprezzata,
e Karen, che ha avuto un importante trascorso
di ballerina classica.
L’album
contiene “Roses For Annig” l’ultima
composizione in assoluto scritta da Earl Zindars,
pochi giorni prima della sua scomparsa e dedicata
alla amata Anne, sua moglie per 43 anni.
All
compositions by Earl Zindars
except “How My Heart Sings” written
by Anne & Earl Zindars
and “Earl And Bill” written by Luciano

Mannahatta è il nome aborigeno
di Manhattan.
Questo CD è il risultato sonoro di una esperienza
newyorkese.
Infatti nell’aprile 2006 abbiamo tenuto sette
concerti in otto giorni in alcuni dei “luoghi”
dell’avanguardia downtown di Manhattan.
Ogni concerto, pur basandosi su materiale scritto e
improvvisato, prendeva nuove forme sviluppando nuove
possibilità sonore.
Dopo appena un paio di performance avevamo l’impressione
di interagire con la Energia della metropoli.
Come se l’Energia del suolo su cui essa sorge,
pervadesse sempre più la nostra musica.
Dopo l’ultimo concerto, decidevamo di registrare
in studio, a Manhattan, una suite in 15 movimenti.
Dissolvendo ogni etichetta, abbiamo provato ad affrontare
in maniera, essenziale, primitiva, il nostro modo di
vedere e sentire New York e la sua e la nostra musica.
Mahanada.
