Kaja Draksler / Susana Santos Silva — Grow (Intakt)
Grow by KAJA DRAKSLER – SUSANA SANTOS SILVA
Sometimes you have to wander in order to do what you want to do. Slovenian pianist Kaja Draksler and Portuguese trumpeter Susana Santos Silva have both gone a long way, aesthetically and geographically, from their initial, homegrown classical training. Draksler is now based in Copenhagen, where she toggles between participation in ensembles that incorporate poetry and jazz into rigorously conceived structures, and total improvisation with such highly individual players as Terrie Ex and John Butcher. Silva resides in Stockholm, where she works frequently with jazz bassist Torbjörn Zetterberg and pursues a deepening investigation into electronic and electro-acoustic music. But their duo is not the product of peregrination, nor concerned with simple opposing relationships. Grow is what happens when two purposefully flexible players bring a full range of options and abilities to the task of making music in the moment.
The two women have made one previous album, This Love, that included pieces written by each, and they are both part of Hearth, a quartet with saxophonists Ada Rave and Mette Rasmussen. But Grow is a concert recording made at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival in 2021. While it is split into four parts, they comprise an unbroken thread of invention realized in continuous performance. Draksler opens with a weave of questing right-hand keyboard phrases, which clash tonally but mesh rhythmically with syncopated prepared piano figures. Silva soon launches a series of dark growls and long, gritty cries, and as she stretches out, the pianist tests her options, proposing first long sweeps up and down the keyboard, and then intricate, changing progressions.
As the music evolves, both players seem to be listening for two sets of options — ones that enhance what the other is doing, and ones that will keep the music evolving. And they aren’t just listening to each other, but also figuring out what to add or subtract from their own playing. At some points, Draksler sounds like two different players at once, simultaneously manipulating glassy swells of resonance and an undercurrent of agitated chatter. At others, they collapse into one, such as an episode when the trumpet’s pops and the piano’s clatter sound an overheard huddle between the items on a Foley artist’s table of tools. The unusual sonorities never sound like mere novelties. Rather, they are expressions of a collective imagination, unhindered by convention or ego, but highly purposeful and satisfyingly on target.

James Brandon Lewis issues a clarion call in the name of freedom, JFDR wields the orchid as a symbol of rebirth, and Mark Kimbrell and Patrick Shiroishi elaborate the saxophone-drum duo tradition as Oort Smog. Angélica Salvi conjures the buck and brace of horse riding, Hypnotic Sleep and The Fulmars unfurl four foggy notions for Kashual Plastik, and Jesse Peterson of Turn On The Sunlight enlists Cavana Lee for an album of sweeping murmurations and cloudless exaltations which carries the life-affirming message You Belong. Felicity Mangan and Photay with Carlos Niño share a fascination with water, Enumclaw fulfill their destiny on their debut Save the Baby, and Glüme goes on the lam in a quest full of heartache and love.

DIA 16 DE JUNHO DE 2024 : MATINÉE NO TNSC COM A FASCINANTE TRILOGIA DAS BARCAS DE JOLY BRAGA SANTOS. NO CENTENÁRIO DO COMPOSITOR DEPOIS DE MUITAS PERIPÉCIAS A BELA OPERA PORTUGUESA REGRESSOU AO S.CARLOS ,36 ANOS DEPOIS. No tríptico de Gil Vicente o compositor encontrou território ideal para os contraditórios da sua obra - cromatismo melodioso versus artonalidade . É uma obra de uma modernidade impressionante. Fico feliz que depois de tantas vicissitudes esta nova produção tenha estreado no São Carlos antes do encerramento para obras que durarão dois anos …Estarei cá para me sentar na cadeira da nossa assinatura de estreia agora solitário ?.. (O TNSC é a única instituição onde eu suporto « violência doméstica « musical …..).A “Trilogia das Barcas”, com libreto de Maria José Braga Santos, a partir dos autos do Inferno, do Purgatório e da Glória, de Gil Vicente (1465-1536) foi apresentada numa versão semiencenada conseguida de Luca Aprea.O maestro José Eduardo Gomes em entrevista sintetizou “Tem uma escrita orquestral rica em cores, texturas, onde a orquestração é bastante larga, tem a escrita coral, com dois coros, com funções diferentes, e tem uma variedade de solistas que vai desde o menino, uma voz infantil, até ao diabo, passando pelas mais diversas personagens, uma produção 100% portuguesa e é nosso dever honrar o legado de Joly, nesta edição crítica que foi feita pelo [maestro] João Paulo Santos e pela Paula Coelho da Silva”. Bem estiveram o Coro do Teatro Nacional de São Carlos e a Orquestra Sinfónica Portuguesa que subiram ao palco do Chiado sob a batuta empenhada de Gomes .O barítono Luís Rodrigues, no papel de Diabo e a soprano Carla Caramujo, no papel de Anjo, lideraram um extenso elenco de personagens interpretadas pelos cantores líricos José Corvelo, Marco Alves dos Santos, João Merino, João Pedro Cabral, Ricardo Panela, Maria Luísa de Freitas, Sérgio Martins, Cátia Moreso, Diogo Oliveira, André Henriques, Tiago Matos e Susana Gaspar. Boas prestações com realce para as vozes femininas com destaque para o difícil Anjo de Caramujo e para a pastora Gaspar excelente soprano « vitima do Brexit » . O elemento mais fraco foi o barítono Luís Rodrigues com uma dicção « pastosa « e actualmente cantando em esforço . Um erro de casting . Logo no dueto com o fidalgo de Marco Alves dos Santos foi penoso …Os figurinos contemporâneos, de cor branca, exceptuando o Anjo, em vermelho, são de Nuno Velez .“Uma ópera intensa e dramática com uma ação muito viva”, afirmou José Eduardo Gomes, que considera incompreensível a ausência da ópera durante tantos anos, das salas .“desde 1988 [quando foi apresentada pela última vez no TNSC, já depois da sua estreia, em 1970 na Fundação Gulbenkian] até 2024 são muitos anos, e é uma pena, pois esta é a grande ópera portuguesa do século XX, devia vir a palco com mais frequência”.Estou inteiramente de acordo e não perdoo ao finlandês Risto a ausência de homenagem a Joly Braga Santos na FCG !.

Anthony Braxton / James Fei — Duet (Other Minds)
Duet (Other Minds) 2021 by Anthony Braxton and James Fei
Lurching starts and sudden halts — 2021 was the kind of year that could strip your transmission. The advent of a vaccine for COVID-19 made it look like things might go back to some sort of normal. The virus’s adroit pivot to a weaker, but more infectious variant, and humanity’s disinclination to let a moderately effective intervention do what it could, were enough to make anyone feel like saying, fuck it. But Anthony Braxton wears glasses that are tinted with a color that has no name, but is described by philosophers as “far brighter than seems possible, and better than we deserve.” Some guys in their mid-70s might have spent the fall of 2021 laying low. He spent it shuttling between gigs on a couple of continents in order to introduce a new musical system called “Loraine.”
I got to seen one such introductory concert at Skanu Mezs, a festival in Riga, Latvia. He, accordionist/singer Adam Matlock, and trumpeter Susana Santos Silva tore through intricate, converging figures at a daunting path, flipping madly through their respective scores while their instrumental voices forged through a flickering mist of electric sound. The next day, I got to sit in while Matlock taught a class at the local conservatory. A veteran of Braxton’s ZIM system, he described the task of navigating Braxton’s incredibly dense scores, with the composer joshingly admonishing musicians that if they play everything on the page, he’ll fine them $1000. The musician’s task, it seems, is to find a way through score, gleaning from it a passage that worked with what every other musician around them played. They improvised by navigating written material, rather than elaborating upon it.
The next week, Braxton played at another festival, Other Minds in San Francisco. His accompanist this time was James Fei, an associate since 1996. Each brought several saxophones — Braxton played sopranino, soprano and alto, and Fei played sopranino, alto and baritone saxophones — and a laptop operated by Braxton managed a program that generated long, glassy tones in response to what they played. They performed a new piece, Composition No. 429, which introduces the Loraine system to Braxton’s discography. One doesn’t need to know about all that novelty to be impressed; the experience of two masters executing precision maneuvers in close formation, then diverging, then pulling up close again, for nearly three quarters of an hours does that. Despite the pace, their progress through the piece is quite methodical, as they address passages of long tones, zig-zag melodies and prescribed attacks that range from pure tones to vocalized gargles. Phrases recur, signaling changes in approach. In one way, the music feels like it looks backward as well as forward, since the Braxton’s angular forms feel similar to music that he and Roscoe Mitchell each played during the 1960s and 1970s.
While the music’s form is rigorous, its execution is a blast to hear. It’s rather like witnessing a couple of barnstormers doing barrel rolls and buzzing pastures with their biplanes, then pulling up their noses to punch through a halo of electronic sound. Don’t say fuck it, this music seems to say. Instead, aim high, and see how far into the atmosphere a motivated human can fly.
