Guillermo Klein Y Los Guachos: Live in Barcelona

AAJ Italy Staff By AAJ Italy Staff

View read count
Un compositore e pianista argentino, una band brillante e agguerrita.

Ecco Los Guachos, che dopo un doppio acclamato album uscito cinque anni fa, tornano con questa registrazione dal vivo che sintetizza una poetica densa di elementi: un folklore tematico lontano dalla banalità; una fragranza di arrangiamenti che, se non è certo avveniristica, è comunque saggia; un insieme di interventi solistici di primo livello.

Lo stile di Klein è tradizionale nell’accumulazione di sequenze sonore che accendono il ritmo e lo rilassano, e nella preferenza accordata all’esecuzione d’insieme rispetto alla libertà individuale.

C’è uno sguardo a certo Gil Evans anche se siamo lontani da quelle intuizioni uniche. C’è l’uso della voce (Carme Canela) e una dinamica generale di gradevole scorrevolezza.

I solisti sono ottimi : Chris Cheek, Bill McHenry, Gorka Benitez, Ben Monder, tra gli altri.
