@Καφωδείο Ελληνικό, Upstairs
Επιστροφή στην προσφιλή για το Duende και τους φίλους των συναρπαστικών προκλήσεων "δραστηριότητα δωματίου" στην καρδιά του Φθινοπώρου με μία κορυφαία συνάντηση γενεών και μουσικών κόσμων που μας κάνει να ανυπομονούμε για τη νέα συναυλιακή σεζόν που ξεκινάει σε λίγες εβδομάδες.
Ο Γιαπωνέζος πιανίστας Masahiko Satoh με τη θρυλική καριέρα ως leader προσωπικών σχημάτων ή ως συνεργάτης κορυφαίων ονομάτων της παγκόσμιας μουσικής σκηνής, θα συμπράξει για μία και μοναδική εμφάνιση επί ελληνικού εδάφους, με τον δικό μας Γιώτη Δαμιανίδη που ως μόνιμος κάτοικος Βελγίου, χαράσσει μία λαμπρή καριέρα στο διεθνή χώρο της μουσικής, με πολυσχιδή χαρακτήρα και συνεργασίες που δε γνωρίζουν φραγμούς και στεγανά.
Τη βραδιά θα ανοίξει ο Αμερικάνος σαξοφωνίστας και εξέχων μέλος της διεθνούς αυτοσχεδιαστικής κοινότητας Jack Wright, χωρίς να αποκλείονται ανατροπές, εκπλήξεις ή εμπνεύσεις της στιγμής!

Wright Jack (USA) ■ Saxophonist, Author
Described forty years ago as an "undergrounder by design," Jack Wright is a veteran saxophone improviser based mainly in Philadelphia and living in nearby Easton PA. In 1979, after an academic career teaching at Temple University (European History) and activist politics, he returned to the instrument of his youth. Almost immediately he discovered free improv, virtually unknown at the time and still obscure. He is one of the few who have played this exclusively since then, one of the originals of the 80s era. He plays mostly on tour through the US and Europe in search of interesting partners and playing situations. Now at 80 he is still the "Johnny Appleseed of Free Improvisation," as the late guitarist Davey Williams called him back in the 80s, continuing to inspire musicians, playing and organizing sessions and gigs with visiting and resident players old and new. His Spring Garden Music House has been around since 1977, for the past sixteen years housing only improvisers and providing space for sessions. In the early 00s it was the space for the No Nets he oganized.
He has avoided the standard career aimed at visibility and prestige, seeing it as a hindrance to musical growth. The partners he's preferred over the years have also been mostly unknown to the music press, and too numerous to list here. His current focus is sound-oriented, mostly associated the underground known as electronic noise music. His main partners the past several years have been Zach Darrup, guitar,Ben Bennett, percussion, Evan Lipson, double bass, and Ron Stabinsky. keyboards, the personnel of Wrest, Minimal Disturbance, Roughhousing, and Never.
Jack is what used to be called a "musician's musician," yet unschooled in music, learning through interaction with partners and private discipline. He's said to have the widest vocabulary of any, and still expanding--leaping pitches, punchy, precise timing, the entire range of volume, intrusive and sculptured multiphonics, vocalizations, and obscene animalistic sounds. You'll hear the most conventional jazz sound for a second or two and "post-electronic saxophone" the next. His playing sums up his 40-plus years of improvising, from lyrical, Ornette-style free jazz at first, then hard-blasting and emotive, then the opposite of that--reduced, quiet playing around 2000. The past dozen years he's come back to more physically engaged playing, but with a phrasing and variable sound unique among sax players.
In 2017 he published, The Free Musics, which has sold around 900 copies, mainly to improvisers in the US through direct contact, and often on tour. In 2022 he published another book, Shaky Ground, which combines his self-questioning and life experiences with a historical analysis of the current situation, particularly the left today. His books are available from him, info at Spring Garden Editions.
A reviewer for the Washington Post said, "In the rarefied, underground world of experimental free improvisation, saxophonist Jack Wright is king."
