Art Davis & Max Roach

Hace algunas semanas Art Davis (contrabajista, y como deben saber, también doctor en psicología), ahora Max Roach (baterista, y una importante pieza en el movimiento musical del Bebop). Días tristes mis amigos, para los amantes de la música, especialmente en el campo del jazz, aún cuando estos hombres fueron más allá de los límites del jazz.
Fuertes músicos, con fuertes ideas, dentro y fuera del escenario y la sala de grabación.
Nombrando a los socios en sus largas carreras, la historia de la música está allí.
Art Davis, con John Coltrane, Max Roach, Dizzy Gillespie, Lena Horne, Thelonius Monk, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Quincy Jones, Judy Garland, Bob Dylan, Barbra Streisand, National Symphony Orchestra, NBC Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Radio City Music Hall Symphony, Westchester Symphony, Orange County Symphony, ¡asombroso!
Y Max Roach, con Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Clifford Brown (con el, una de las mejores bandas en la historia del jazz), Harold Land, Richie Powell, Kenny Dorham, Booker Little, George Coleman, Dinah Washington, Cecil Taylor, Anthony Braxton, Archie Shepp, Abdullah Ibrahim, Mal Waldron, So What Brass Quintet, Boston Symphony Orchestra, The Uptown String Quartet, Fab 5 Freddy and the New York Break Dancers, y conocida su colaboración con el teatro (Sam Shepard) y la danza (Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation, Dianne McIntyre Dance Company, Bill T. Jones / Arnie Zane Dance Company), y una última grabación, "Friendship" ("Amistad") - 2003 -, con su gran amigo Clark Terry, y una acotación personal, imposible para mi olvidar su maravillosa declaración musical en "We Insist! Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite" (1960).
Nombres y más nombres, para definir un concepto en la música, para ambos, Art Davis y Max Roach,
músicos insertados en una sociedad, nunca solos en una alta torre, siempre cerca de la gente, entregando su mejor arte, debo decir gracias por eso, gracias Art Davis y Max Roach,
muchas gracias por el tiempo que pasamos juntos, pero, con su trabajo en nuestras manos, este momento de excelente música durará por siempre.





A few weeks ago Art Davis (acoustic bass player, and as you may know, also doctor in psychology), now Max Roach (drummer, and an important piece in the Bebop music movement). Sad days my friends, for music lovers, specially in the jazz field, even when these men were beyond the jazz limits.
Strong musicians, with strong ideas, in and out the stage and the recording room.
Naming the partners in their long careers, music's history it's there.
Art Davis, with John Coltrane, Max Roach, Dizzy Gillespie, Lena Horne, Thelonius Monk, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Quincy Jones, Judy Garland, Bob Dylan, Barbra Streisand, National Symphony Orchestra, NBC Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Radio City Music Hall Symphony, Westchester Symphony, Orange County Symphony, amazing!
And Max Roach, with Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Clifford Brown (with him, one of the best bands in jazz history), Harold Land, Richie Powell, Kenny Dorham, Booker Little, George Coleman, Dinah Washington, Cecil Taylor, Anthony Braxton, Archie Shepp, Abdullah Ibrahim, Mal Waldron, So What Brass Quintet, Boston Symphony Orchestra, The Uptown String Quartet, Fab 5 Freddy and the New York Break Dancers, and well known his collaboration with theater (Sam Shepard) and dance (Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation, Dianne McIntyre Dance Company, Bill T. Jones / Arnie Zane Dance Company), and a last recording, "Friendship" - 2003 -, with his great friend Clark Terry, and one personal note, impossible for me to forget his wonderful musical statement in "We Insist! Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite" (1960).
Names and more names, to define a concept in music, for both, Art Davis and Max Roach, musicians inserted in a society, never alone in a high tower. always close to the people, delivering their best art, I must say thanks for that, thanks Art Davis and Max Roach, many thanks for the time we spent together, but, with your work in our hands, this moment of excellent music will last forever.
