Ritratti in Jazz

 

Ritratti in Jazz

Letture e musiche dall'omonimo libro di Haruki Murakami - a cura di Gianmaria Aprile
garbuglisonori.wordpress.com/

Murakami Haruki ha scritto un atlante sentimentale del jazz. Lo ha fatto nell'unica maniera possibile: scegliendo dalla sua collezione di dischi (rigorosamente in vinile) i musicisti indimenticabili, i brani piú preziosi, le performance storiche, e raccontandoceli con la stessa contagiosa passione di un amico con cui dividere un bicchiere in un jazz club.
A completare questo cocktail, perfetto anche per chi non conosce il mondo del jazz, ci sono la straordinaria capacità affabulatoria e la sottile malinconia dell'autore di 1Q84, accompagnate dai ritratti dei musicisti dipinti dall'artista Wada Makoto. Buon ascolto.

w/ Gianmaria Aprile

Non solo un garbuglio di suoni. Mi piace sentire l’odore del bosco, camminare, cucinare, bere, leggere, ascoltare musica e suonarla (tutte azioni da comuni mortali), ma non mi sembra di farlo mai abbastanza. Diverse volte ho registrato, altre volte ho fatto il mix e la post-produzione e a suo tempo ho curato un’etichetta - fratto9 - mentre co-organizzavo un festival - tagofest - Nel frattempo ho inciso e stampato a mano senza accorgermene - sentimento inatteso -
