Living Room Color Mustard Yellow

Voices from moorland




* I recently received the following letter from my brother Dario, who moved to Derry now. Here she tells me of a walk on the moor, to Fort Greinan between Buncrana and Derry.

Mucker!

Dear Mark,

what's the craic? Halloween has its fires burned down and here is the real winter ...

Because the weather is depressing came to me wanted to tell you st'estate did a lap.

Carmela Pablo and I decide to take a ride in the countryside, on foot. We are all really taken, Roury told us "go and follow that road there we Irish walk faster than you we make it in two hours you in five." We organize and set off but there's mist Pablo, our guide, says that the weather holds, I told an old Carmela confirmation of Buncrana and on the other hand, she said the old woman Sandinos. Backpack and humus sandwich direction Greinan Fort, an ancient Celtic ruins, to say all of Pablo laundry below. Tombs, ancient walls, a fountain. It lies between here and Buncrana. Pablo goes crazy for Buncrana. He also lived when he was still a foreigner here.

After two hours of country we are asked to make an old-time, Pablo for a while 'is not only talking about the old and the old consoles us: it does not rain and the strong just two hours. Needless to say, you see 'there is hill and you reach the top split in two hours. We are all excited, Pablo takes pictures as if he had his finger automatic, and I guess I have been catapulted into the realm of Avalon is that crows and fog and you do not see a soul in the middle of the moor. Carmela is excited and happily trots, attentive to the holes, I say, that the moor is plagued start and needless to say he stumbles and falls in one of those ditches full of water called " pit" . So bring bad luck! She said.

The fort is a ring of walls and inside you snack, then off again. Quite an experience, a five-hour journey, needless to say quell'impunito of Roury was right, we realize that the way we've stretched to three hours. Beautiful countryside of Donegal, heck, I take a damn if I go back there!

And what a beautiful summer ... cold, wind, rain, only two days of sunshine!

I remember that made warmer in late May, the past week in Brook Park ... always a tremendous sun finally broke the constant cloud cover Irish, always ready to shower down like rain, the Irish Menan hands. We were just in jeans, of course we were all well equipped with beer ... Lorenzo then began to slip and I remember those guys who were going to get us the stones. At the end of that week I found myself just tanned.

Yesterday, I get a text from Luke, that friend of yours, which is: there's Patti Smith in front of me at San Severino, you are drinking a beer, what? I do ...? I replied to ask if he wants to revive the sad scene Marche with the true punk rock of yore, and even organize a party and told him not ... Then I told him to sign a bell'autografo flaws maybe take a picture and get to kiss sbirrazzato on beard. You were there? Did you see? Okay that is a genre that, with you, little quail. If you see my number from Derry, come here, you never know!

Mucker, it's time to go ... Some students are comin 'soon!

See ya!

Dario, your bro.

Greinan Fort on the hill between Buncrana and Derry. The pink you see is the heather moorland of the queen. The white things are, of course, sheep.

Bologna, November 21 - full house last night at Chez Baker . Sold out and chock full of local people slipped by all parties, to follow concert pianists Sandro Savino, Simon May and Emily Pinto with their respective groups, all jazz players of proven value, which gave birth to exciting concerts. Each group has a repertoire that ranged from a variety of rhythmic songs to ballads suggestive. You could not ask for better in the evening that it has closed a busy week of concerts.

SANDRO SAVINO

My name is Sandro Savino and I was born in Taranto on December 5, 1980. I spent my childhood and adolescence in Matera, wonderful city Heritage and great source of inspiration for me. I play the piano for twenty years and I am very happy to have known and could have chosen to become a musician for the freedom granted to me now. During these years I've learned from great musicians and had the pleasure of studying with renowned teachers in Matera, Rome and the Netherlands, where I live for six years. In Holland I have finished my studies in jazz at the conservatories of Rotterdam and Den Haag. Today I am involved in various musical projects with which I perform around Europe. I speak fluent English, Dutch, English and Portuguese. I love to travel, percussion, sociability, beautiful women and, especially, the rhythm which is the mother of life.

SIMONE May

Simon May and I was born in Grosseto trent 'years ago and do not know why I've always loved music and especially the piano ... i guess that little by little I found a clue! I did not make the conservatory, although some years studying music and composition called "classic" ... behold, I made a discovery: the music is "A" ... for me at least. Falling in love with the Jazz to 16 years; I studied a lot in Rome and in the years I've done quite a lot 'of experience related to this world, including some records, participated in seminars and concerts done, I had the chance to play with Lee Konitz in 2006. The search led me to have experiences outside the jazz composer for theater and film ... also because jazz is a word for me eclectic! Now I live in the countryside in the Marche, with my wife and many animals.

EMILIANO Pintor

I was born in Bologna in 1979 and started piano lessons at age nine. I did not follow a path of academic music studies, while the interest in jazz was born shortly after, by listening to records of the teachers and the environment through attendance jazz Bologna. The academic year had already embarked on a steady concert after graduating became my main commitment. From the educational point of view, the fundamental experiences were then meeting with the great pianist and teacher Barry Harris and his stay in New York in 2009. In recent years I spent on the case alongside the Hammond organ. Many were musical encounters, but this reference to my more conventional biography.

Livio Minafra

Daniel Pozzovivo


Bologna, November 20 - Yesterday evening local packed for three excellent concerts. The first pianist to open the evening was Sgobbi Alexander, a pianist from the heterogeneous language that seems to draw from different musical worlds, creating their own dress code interesting. The second pianist was Livio Minafra, a veritable volcano of ideas as well as technical personal style. The third was Pozzovivo Daniel, also a fine pianist from the fluid phrasing and crystal clear sound and vibrant. Were reached very high peaks of great music and interaction with the audience again responded with great participation and enthusiasm. The level of the other musicians was very high and among them there has been a special chemistry that has remained alive in all three September of the evening.



ALESSANDRO Sgobba

∂-Biography

Can I say that I really felt musician at age 23. At 25 I packed in more humid and warm Parmesan week in history, diploma and degree level in Arts.
I can say I the only one who withdrew Upim thesis: there lost and recovered two hours before the debate.
At 18 I discovered the Jazz - and then forgotten and rediscovered in the well of Parma with enough memory for r of Habsburg.
I felt more and more music through to jazz concerts, the Yamaha, the first album recorded, the recording of a song Gaslini, 2nd prize in the "Flores" and selecting the "Martial Solal" examination composition exceeded after 84 hours of confinement. At 28 I
hear me say clearly jazz, basically a pianist, composer surely.

Livio Minafra

Notes Color:

Actually I wanted to be a chef .. And if I had to be a musician - as at home my parents were musicians and I breathed music from the belly - I wanted to be drummer .. Instead they sent me did play the piano. At that point, I played with the technique of percussion and I made up my whole world differently abled there. I've never been able to play the famous jazz, that of Bill Evans or Oscar Peterson nor the most popular songs of the moment ... yet I felt like people to hear jazz or Antonello Salis Gianluigi Trovesi .. When Then I won the Top Jazz in 2009 as Best New Talent in Italy I had a joy that now I still pervades. Not so much be the first in Italy for a year (should not exist much in the jazz competition, so everyone tells her story) as being recognized in jazz but in my own way. One way I made traces of Arabic music, French Impressionist, free, melody, minimalism .. The Cook and drummer pianist abuse was not accepted, and now he also won! :)

Marinelli - Kekko Fornarelli - Simone Andrea Graziano

Emilio Marinelli

Kekko Fornarelli

Simone Graziano

Bologna, November 19 - Yesterday evening, at 22, Emily Marinelli opened the evening. The first part of his September was not linear, surly at times. The tension between the musicians was evident, even for the public. The first two pieces, in particular, have displaced a bit 'all. The energy was retained by a cap which then exploded in the last part of the first September, when the office finally suppressed invaded the room filled.

One of his piano solo, totally improvised, was the prelude to a worthy end to a jam session with the public fully participate.

September In the second group started more aggressively, seeking immediately a direct contact with the public.

Again very involved, sometimes blocked, the pianist, Kekko Fornarelli that redeems itself well in the third song, which suddenly becomes an intimate piano solo, thoughtful, attentive and excited with the public. Fornarelli at this point, it takes all its space with an actual plan itself, the premise of a Nordic track, but not icy, written by the composer Gianpaolo Venditti.

The third also seen here in September, the pianist, Simone Graziano, totally blocked, almost clumsy and awkward. The rest of the group, received the temporary impasse of their colleague, tried to fill his space, but some in the audience has probably realized that something was wrong.

The solo piano piece, Darkness, darkness, instead gave new light to Gratian, who fully recovered from the initial block briallantemente closes the evening, highlighting its language which also denotes a classical background.

EMILIO MARINELLI

I was born in Ancona for a long time and I have lived my life in Falconara Marittima (small town on the refinery), probably too time ....
Therefore, they are slow, very slow to learn and improve and also I have always done all the training courses (and not) in reverse. I started playing in public:
rock bands, then R & B and Funk (funk much), and jazz. Of course after all that I could not deal with the classical repertoire and a long, long, elephantine effort.
I graduated from the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia in Rome, my classmate was 11, I 33. In this time of life I did everything. From playing in a pickup truck in front of old fruit not too happy to see you on tour `in stadiums all over Europe, or pop stars like Williams, or theater, or concerts in the club (the taverns) with American jazz and Italian (ENRICO RAVA , Bob Brookmeyer, Kenny Wheeler, Xavier Girotto, CAMERON BROWN, JULIUS CAPIOZZO ......). I do not know if it 'good or bad move in a zig zag, but going straight has never failed. The size that I prefer, however, is that of small places, no lights or mega truck boxes, only one person and his instrument, nothing superfluous or excessive: just you and Them. A few yards of space and energy of the player and the listener. However
study a lot, be prepared to take account of the pianist in the next 20 years.

Kekko Fornarelli

Playing the piano is my karma, rather than a choice. Living 28 of my 32 years in alternation of love and disenchantment still puts me before the question of "who will I be tomorrow?". Childhood and adolescence immersed in classical music then, suddenly, jazz. I've studied, I did mine. First, devouring everything I could get my hands, then, speaking of me with my jazz, enriched by all the artists I know and with whom I have played, moved to France, recording my three disks. Today, I think that beauty is in the subjectivity of music in it and implement it. In many, jazz, have forgotten the message that he wanted to give the same: freedom. We can appeal to a thousand people or even just one. You just have the desire to seek it, this person. Wherever it is.

SIMONE GRAZIANO

My name is Simone's name, surname Graziano. I was born in Florence in the last days of the last years of the 70s and perhaps that is why I love autumn, dead leaves, and the final code, and the number 7. To my mother I love the piano and music in general. To me, the madness with which I have grown in recent years. I studied jazz at the Berklee school in Boston and I graduated in piano at the Conservatory with the highest marks. In "Lightwalls," title of the first disc in my name next to two genes such reckless Ares Tavolazzi Tamborrino and Stephen, I tried the relationship between music and light and how they affect each other. I hate to Florence, but since I am thirty years I try in vain to give up, maybe the love.
