BASSDRUMBONE
In 2012, Jazz returns to Serralves Park on July 7, 14 and 21 always at 6 p.m. This year the stage at the Serralves Park Tennis Court will welcome a Portuguese orchestra, LUME – Lisbon Underground Music Ensemble and two groups from the United States: the quartet of saxophonist Marty Ehrlich and the BassDrumBone trio. The 21st edition of Jazz In The Park will also host a round table and a concert in homage to Bernardo Sassetti, the musician who sudden and unexpectedly died last May.
On July 7, the event opens with the presentation of Marty Ehrlich’s new group and their first recording of ‘Frog Leg Logic’, a project featured here for the first time on Portuguese stages. The following Saturday, July 14, Orquesta LUME, conducted by composer and pianist Marco Barroso, will play for the fist time in Porto. The orchestra stands out from other Portuguese big bands by drawing from multiple universal legacies in a web of sound and aesthetical intersections evoking territories that have left an imprint on jazz, rock, and pop and are now joined by memories from erudite, classical or contemporary music.
Sassetti will be remembered in an informal conversation that will bring together musicians with whom he shared the closest complicity in key moments of his jazz career. This moment takes place at the Serralves auditorium on the afternoon of July 14 at 3 p.m. The following day, at 6 p.m., also at the Auditorium, the concert ‘Pelas Mãos de Bernardo/Through Bernardo’s Hands’ will be performed, gathering five young pianists who, while still largely unknown in the main venues of Jazz, share the promise of a brilliant future. The concert will feature a repertoire of original themes by Sassetti and by authors associated to his discography and brings together two generations, with the young guest soloists accompanied by three of Bernardo’s faithful, senior companions: double bass players Zé Eduardo and Carlos Barreto, and drummer André Sousa Machado.
The 21st edition of Jazz In The Park closes off on July 21 with trio BassDrumBone, who return to Portugal to celebrate their 35th anniversary in Serralves. The trio created their name from Mark Helias’ double bass, Gerry Hemingway’s drums and Ray Anderson’s trombone.
