Chick Corea And Béla Fleck - The Enchantment

https://www.discogs.com/release/1446687-Chick-Corea-And-B%C3%A9la-Fleck-The-Enchantment

Please join me in mourning here at the funeral for my internet music nerd cool points, because I'm about to talk about how I like this album.

The Enchantment is a 2007 collaborative album between two relatively polarizing artists in the world of jazz: Chick Corea (a virtuoso pianist best known by most for his synth-tastic 70s and 80s jazz fusion with groups like Return to Forever and his Elektric Band) and Béla Fleck (a virtuoso banjo player best known for putting slap bass together with electric banjo shredding in the 90s with his group The Flecktones). They're both solidly in the "love it or hate it" world of music. Chick and Béla both came originally from the more traditional end of their genres (jazz and bluegrass respectively) and both leapt wholeheartedly into the world of weird and generally uncool music. As an ardent jazz fusion apologist I'm naturally a huge Chick Corea fan. I also love his more avant-garde recordings, and his more straight ahead jazz. As for Béla Fleck, I've always been more partial to his acoustic work, both his early bluegrass recordings and his more out-there modern acoustic recordings.

So where does The Enchantment lie? It's all-acoustic, which by 2007 was starting to become the norm again for both players and continues to be my preference for Béla's work, and features no additional players and no overdubs. Musically, I'd say it's jazz-adjacent. The general writing style feels very reminiscent of Chick's writing on My Spanish Heart and much of his other Spanish-influenced 70s work, despite Béla having the majority of the writing credits on the album (6 to Chick's 4, with the 11th credit going to Ary Barroso for their use of his classic 1939 tune Brazil). Interestingly it also won a Latin Grammy for Best Instrumental Album, which was not on my bingo card for things that would come up on this blog but apparently should have been.

An instrumental piano & banjo duo album feels like a dangerous sort of record to try and make, especially with the goal of the album being to feel like a true duo recording rather than an accompanist & soloist arrangement. I think it's testament to the profound level of skill and experience of both players that this record sounds like anything more than a mess. While the playing is virtuosic and frequently quite busy, it's very clear that both players are really listening to and engaging with each other. I don't like to get on my high horse about listening to music ~as a musician~ (whatever that really means), but this is an album where that sort of musical synchronicity and mutual respect really sticks out to me in a way that may be less apparent to non-musicians, who may focus more on the speed and precision of many of these parts. On a related note, I particularly love the unison lines on this album. It's fascinating to me how they can both play the same thing at the same time and blend while also still sounding radically like themselves and often quite different from each other, with Chick's playing taking a more fluid, flourishing style and Béla tending more towards very tight and precise lines. You can tell there's a deep level of listening happening between the players, and it's a pleasure to hear.

Similarly, I'm really impressed by the mix on this album. While it may not immediately jump out, I can tell you from experience that this is not an easy sort of combo to mix. Piano has an extremely large sound that dominates the frequency band (particularly with a player like Chick, who tends to play wide across multiple octaves), whereas banjo has a small, clicky sound, very narrowly focused on a much smaller band of highs and high mids. It's tough to balance those in a way that sounds both even and natural, and I think Bernie Kirsch did a great job. I'm sure the legendary mastering expertise of Bernie Grundman (a double Bernie event!) helped here too.

The copy in front of me is the original 2007 US CD release on Concord. The album has never been issued on vinyl, and has never been reissued outside of a 2021 Japan-only SHM-CD release (a running theme you'll see on here with many jazz albums). The liner notes are simple but effective, with clear credits, a centerfold photo of the recording session, and some Special Thanks (including a shout-out to L. Ron Hubbard, who was also not on my bingo card for this blog but should come as no surprise since Chick was a devout Scientologist from the 70s on through the rest of his life). The graphic design and presentation of the whole thing is pretty ugly in that classic 00s way. And honestly I don't know that it looked great at the time either, but I guess Creed did mad numbers back then so what do I know? Regardless, the wacky carnival font and goofy digital collage on the front cover are sure to turn most modern listeners off right from the start. I can't imagine someone who isn't already a fan of one or both artists ever picking this up from the rack and giving it a shot.

That being said, those that do pick it up are in for a treat. There's a lot of great playing and songwriting on this, and while I doubt it would make a top 10 list for either artist involved I think that's more of a testament to the significance and reach of their careers rather than a slight against the album itself. If you like either or both artists I highly recommend giving this one a listen. If you're not familiar with them this may not be the most informative starting point, but it's certainly not a bad one. This is also an excellent listen for anyone who plays an instrument; there's a lot to learn here about top-level interplay and listening. Check it out if that sounds like your sort of thing. And until next time, may your graphic design stay tasteful and may your playing stay tasty.

Chick Corea

Biography Born Armando Anthony Corea in Chelsea, Massachusetts on June 12, 1941, Chick was studying piano by age four and enjoyed a childhood home filled with the sounds of Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Lester Young and Horace Silver - not to mention the likes of Beethoven and Mozart, who inspired Chick's compositional instincts. Chick's earliest compositions were recorded during one of his first professional stints, three years with trumpeter Blue Mitchell ('64-'66), which led up to the pianist's first project as a leader, Tones For Jones Bones. Early gigs with the likes of Willie Bobo, Cal Tjader, Herbie Mann and Mongo Santamaria instilled a love of Latin music, prevalent in much of Chick's early work. After a year accompanying Sarah Vaughan, he rose to true prominence in the jazz world by joining Miles Davis' band playing electric piano. In his years with Miles, Chick played on the groundbreaking classic fusion recording Bitches Brew and In a Silent Way. From there, Chick formed his own avant-garde improvisational group, Circle, with bassist Dave Holland, drummer Barry Altschul and sax man Anthony Braxton.

In 1971, after three years of Circle, Chick changed his focus. Jazz has never been quite the same since the birth of Return to Forever. The early edition of that group (which featured the young Stanley Clarke on bass) was a softer, samba-flavored ensemble featuring Flora Purim on vocals, her husband Airto on drums and reed man Joe Farrell. After two albums with this lineup and a few solo piano released on the side, Chick plugged in and went the electronic fusion route, incorporating into RTF the firepower of drummer Lenny White and guitarist Bill Connors. While Corea was forging a unique style on the Moog synthesizer, RTF (with Al Di Meola replacing Connors) spearheaded the mid-70's fusion movement with such innovative albums as Where Have I Known You Before, the Grammy-winning No Mystery and Romantic Warrior. When RTF disbanded in 1975, Corea delved into a diverse series of recordings -- electronic ensembles, solo piano, classical music and high-powered acoustic duos -- with artists like Herbie Hancock and Gary Burton. Other Corea projects leading up to his mid-80's formation of the Elektric Band were the Grammy winning Leprechaun, My Spanish Heart and Musicmagic, (the latter of which was a new Return to Forever project with vocalist Gayle Moran) followed by Mad Hatter, RTF Live, and work with Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Hubert Laws, Chaka Khan and Nancy Wilson, among countless others. In 1992, Chick realized a lifelong goal, along with manager Ron Moss, forming Stretch Records, a label committed to stretching musical boundaries (like its founder) and focusing more on freshness and creativity than on musical style. Among its early releases have been projects by Bob Berg, John Patitucci, Eddie Gomez and Robben Ford. "My interests change and vary as the years go along, with different emphases all the time," Chick muses. "The more I play in different situations, the more possibilities I discover for what I can do. Rather than think in terms of my music developing, I choose to bask in the glow of one thing for a few minutes, then let it go." In 1996, as the last release for GRP Records, Ron Moss produced Music Forever & Beyond a 5 disc box set of selected works from 1964-1996. Corea states, "The single emotion that this box set has left me with is a profound feeling of gratitude and thankfulness to have had the opportunity and the honor to create music with so many inspiring musicians through the years." After his relationship with GRP ended in 1996, Stretch Records became a subsidiary of Concord Records and Chick decided to be part of Stretch's artist roster. His first release on Stretch was a tribute to pianist Bud Powell. Therefore, it was suitable to contact Roy Haynes to be a part of this project, as Haynes had performed with Powell in the early 60's. Remembering Bud Powell was met with much excitement due, in part, to the participants that Corea had on the project. Along with Haynes were Kenny Garrett, Joshua Redman, Wallace Roney and Christian McBride. Corea said, "All the musicians poured themselves so unselfishly and creatively into this project…we all felt Bud's lasting inspiration during the recording and touring." That same year, Chick released a recording with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra with Bobby McFerrin as conductor. This was their 2nd recording for Sony Classical, entitled The Mozart Sessions. Their first duet recording, Play, was honored with a Grammy Award. Also, in 1997 Chick teamed up with Gary Burton. It had been over 20 years since their Crystal Silence duet recording and the two thought it was time to do another. Native Sense - The New Duets was released on Stretch Records and gave Chick his 9th Grammy Award in 1998. Moving forward is something at which Chick is well adept. Toward the end of 1997, Chick decided to once again form a new group - a base in which he could once again perform on acoustic piano. The band's self-titled debut release was a live recording at the Blue Note club in New York City. Chick's strategy behind the recording was to try to capture the band's sound and feel as it is in a live performance. "When we play to an audience, as opposed to playing in a recording studio, there's never a thought of playing perfectly or making no mistakes," Chick comments, "so the music flows more freely and there comes a comfort in stretching out. So what you hear on that recording is the unedited performances." Those shows generated so much enthusiasm that the veteran bandleader took another leap, after the initial release of Origin - Live at the Blue Note. In 1998, Chick released the six-disc set A Week at the Blue Note. The boxed set, featuring music played during three of the four evenings that heralded the debut of "Origin," caught the band in all its spontaneously combustible glory. The sextet took on Miles Davis' "Four", Thelonious Monk's "Blue Monk", "Straight, No Chaser" and "Four in One", Bud Powell's "Tempus Fugit", Charlie Parker's "Bird Feathers", the Rodgers-Hart standard "Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered" and Corea's "Matrix", "Hand Me Down" and "Sifu", not to mention alternate versions of tunes heard on the first album. In the summer of 1999, Chick released Origin's 3rd recording, Change. This was recorded within the relaxed confines of the home Chick shares with singer and wife Gayle Moran in Florida. Chick and the band went to work on a set of material written specifically for Origin since the release of the debut. "The first record was a mishmash of all kind of stuff; old tunes, standards, jam-session tunes and new written music, whereas Change is focused on music specifically written for a known group that has become an entity. With this record, I wanted to try more thorough writing with the band. Everyone responded to it very well." Change brings Origin one step closer to Chick's conception of a dream ensemble, a group of musicians unusually attuned to each other's playing, united under the like-minded goal of bringing to life the music of a leader able to compose and arrange challenging material with specific instrumental voices in mind. Chick completed a recording with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Corea Concerto, for Sony Classical, released October 1999. Back in the early '80s, Chick was introduced to Mozart's music by Friedrich Gulda. Since then, Chick was determined to write a Piano Concerto of his own. This was completed in 1984. Over a 10-year period, Chick performed the piece with various orchestras in New York, Japan and Italy but had not had the opportunity to record it. In 1998, Chick was invited to perform in Vienna with the London Philharmonic Orchestra for a special 1999 Easter event. This concert opened up an opportunity to record the Concerto. After a successful evening in Vienna, Chick, group members from Origin and the London Philharmonic Orchestra went back to London to do the recording. The recording features Piano Concerto No.1 - (dedicated to the spirit of religious freedom) and a new version of Chick's tune Spain (arrangement for Sextet & Orchestra). "I chose almost the exact same instrumentation as the Mozart piano concerto orchestrations for my concerto. I figured that I could perform the Mozart and my own piece with the same size orchestra, and that would be a good practical start for me. So, with the spirit and sound of Mozart's piano concerto music, I wrote this piece and dedicated it to the spirit of religious freedom which, for me, is on the same level as the creative freedom that is the basic right of all people." Chick also speaks about why he chose to do a new version of Spain: "If there is anyone song that listeners seem to know me best by, I guess that song is "Spain," as I get the most requests for it and hear it mentioned more than any of the others. I wrote the song in 1971 and played it frequently with RTF and many other bands of mine. I reharmonized the theme and made a brand-new arrangement of it for the Akoustic Band trio in 1988, and have generally turned the song inside out through the years. This is a final visit to "Spain" in grand fashion and with a tip of the hat to the art cultures of Spain, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina and New York."

Grammys Para Las Artistas y Canciones Latin

El Premio Grammy es un premio que otorga a músicos y hay muchas categorías en las que los músicos pueden ganar. Específicamente, hay 84 categorías y en estos, hay cuatro o cinco para música latinoamericana. Hoy, nos enfocaremos en la categoría de Premio Grammy al mejor pop latino. Un premio en esta categoría fue dado por primera vez en 1984. Desde entonces, el nombre de la categoría se cambió muchas veces como Mejor Interpretación Pop Latino, Mejor Álbum Pop Latino, y Mejor Álbum de Pop Latino o Urbano. Pero en 2012, el premio en esta categoría no se otorgó a nadie porque ese año, había muchas categorías.

Para ganar el premio, la música necesita ser 51 por ciento nuevas grabaciones vocales o instrumentales de pop latino. También, de 1984 a 1991, a los cantantes se les permitió ganar con canciones individuales o álbumes. Pero desde 1992, los premios sólo se han otorgado a cantantes con álbumes. En 1984, José Feliciano, un cantante puertorriqueño fue la primera persona en ganar el premio por su álbum Me Enamoré. José Feliciano y un cantante español, Alejandro Sanz, ganaron cuatro premios y son los mayores ganadores. El cantante mexicano, Luis Miguel, fue nominado para el premio 12 veces, que es la mayoría de las veces, pero él ganó sólo tres veces.

En el espectáculo que ocurrió en enero de 2020, había 5 categorías para músicos latinoamericanos, mejor álbum de Jazz Latino, mejor álbum de Pop Latino, mejor Rock Latino, álbum Urbano o alternativo, mejor álbum de Música Mexicana Regional (incluyendo Tejano), mejor álbum de Jazz Latino Tropical. El ganador de mejor álbum de Jazz Latino fue Chick Corea & the Spanish Heart Band con su álbum Antidote. Después, el ganador de mejor álbum de Pop Latino fue Alejandro Sanz con su álbum El Disco y una persona famosa nominada fue Luis Fonsi. El ganador de mejor Rock Latino, álbum Urbano o alternativo fue Rosalía con El Mal Querer y las personas famosas nominadas fueron Bad Bunny y J Balvin. Entonces, el ganador de mejor álbum de Música Mexicana Regional (incluyendo Tejano) fue Mariachi los Camperos con De Ayer Para siempre. Finalmente, el ganador de mejor álbum de Jazz Latino Tropical fue un empate entre Marc Anthony y su álbum Opus y Aymée Nuviola con su álbum A Journey Through Cuban Music. ¡Ahora Uddipto hablará sobre música específica!

-Purvi Jonnalagadda

El Grammy tiene 5 premios para los artistas Hispanos, 4 para la música latin y 1 para música mexicana. Uno de los premios más anticipados era “El Mejor Álbum de Latin Rock, Urbano o Alternativo.” Los álbumes nominados más famoso, eran “El Mal Querer” de Rosalía, “X100Pre” de Bad Bunny, y “Oasis” de J Balvin y Bad Bunny. La ganadora era Rosalía y su álbum “El Mal Querer.” Aquí voy a comparar los álbumes y unas canciones más reconocibles mirando la estética, el significado, el ritmo, y las letras. Las tres canciones son Malamente de Rosalía, Caro de Bad Bunny, y YO LE LLEGO de Bad Bunny y J Balvin.

Malamente (Rosalía)

Malamente es un ejemplo de un género alternativo/indie pop. Este tipo de música es clasificado por líricas y un sentimiento oscuro - este género permite a los artistas hablar de temas que los artistas de pop, R&B, y hip hop no pueden. Malamente es sobre malos augurios como “el cristalito roto” en la primera línea. El cristalito roto es un augurio que significa que algo va a suceder. El ritmo de la canción es creado por sonidos técnicos y aplausos. Esta combinación da a la música una sensación oscura y espeluznante. Rosalia añade a esta sensación con su video musical, donde hay muchas imágenes extrañas.

Escucha a Malamente aquí: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rht7rBHuXW8

Caro (Bad Bunny)

Caro se cayó en el género de música urbana específicamente hip-hop y trap. En esta canción Bad Bunny habla sobre sus gustos caros en su estilo y su vida. También la canción es un testimonio del éxito de Bad Bunny, un artista relativamente nuevo que cambió el mundo de música latín y música de hip hop . Como otras canciones de trap tiene un ritmo definido por el hi-hat y por eso es una buena canción para bailar.

Escucha a Caro aquí: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg64AFnRnkc&list=PLp0QPWSGV1ebb6dW-KbRnzL3Wg90rLSnZ&index=4

YO LE LLEGO (Bad Bunny y J Balvin)

Como Caro, YO LE LLEGO es una canción de trap y hip hop. Pero tiene un significado muy diferente. Literalmente Bad Bunny y J Balvin están hablando por llegar a lugares, pero la canción es sobre llegar a la cima de la industria. Los dos artistas aumentan en popularidad rápidamente, y la canción, también, documenta esta idea que la competición no puede para los aumentos de Bad Bunny y J Balvin. El ritmo de la canción es creado por el hi-hat y el tambor con bordón. También tiene un ritmo muy pegadizo ideal para bailar.

Escucha a YO LE LLEGO aquí: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-og30D3lxs

En mi opinión Malamente es la mejor canción de esas tres canciones porque las otras canciones son más sosas en comparación. Malamente tiene muchas capas de significado, estético, y letras pero YO LE LLEGO y Caro son más literal. Malamente es una canción para oír y entender pero las otras son canciones de bailar. Por esos razones quiero que Malamente sea la mejor canción.

-Uddipto Nandi

Chick Corea & The Spanish Heart Band at Leopolis Jazz Fest (2019)

Chick Corea – a world-famous pianist and composer, and 22-time Grammy Award winner – will perform with his project The Spanish Heart Band. The name itself brings us back to the legendary 1976 album My Spanish Heart, an explosive mix of jazz fusion and traditional Latin music. The new project by Chick Corea combines works from the albums My Spanish Heart and Touchstone. This programme is a tribute to his love of Spanish and Latin American music, which has always been an important component in work by this famous musician.

Chick Corea decided to give us a rare opportunity to hear live music that has already become history, as well as to experience the mastery of great band musicians, including a wonderful dancer, as music and dance are something that is impossible to imagine without flamenco culture.

PROGRAMMER’S NOTES: IN APPRECIATION OF CHICK COREA, TOLEDO PUBLIC RADIO/WGTE’s JAZZ SPECTRUM, 20 FEBRUARY 2021, the first hour

Chick Corea’s death a week and a half ago came as such a surprise. That we was 79 was enough of a surprise as he was quite a spry joyous sprite as when I was him in September 2018. He made exciting music and was excited by it.

And now he’s gone.

This hour skews towards trios because it’s my hour. He put together some serious trios from the early one with Miroslav Vitous and Roy Haynes and the recent one with Christian McBride and Brian Blade. They are both represented.

Crystal Silence is there and so is Spain (yes, there is a Fender Rhodes on Jazz Spectrum, folks) because there needs to be.

Our host called my attention to the live album at the Blue Note with Origin which features a front line of Bob Shepherd, Steve Wilson, and Steve Davis. Corea with horns but since the tunes are so long, I went with one with flute, probably Wilson’s.

Corea is long winded and that was a challenge to put together this hour. He’s an exuberant player, so he wants an extra chorus. He is so full of ideas that his compositions take perhaps one turn too many. Crystal Silence is a desert island tune but it could use some editing. I saw the Romantic Warrior tour from Return to Forever and that title cut stood out as a live acoustic tour de force with solos from everyone. But the album version exemplifies the prog rock excesses. It wasn’t going to be here, but alas I heard it again from the streaming service candy store and told myself I didn’t need to hear it again for another decade or so.

I made a point though to have Zyrab as that was the stunner from the Trio Vigelete gig from 2018. It’s a Paco de Lucia composition in honor of the Islamic polymath who was born in Baghdad and was a key figure in the Moorish court in Cordoba. It has so much I treasure—of course extended virtuoso playing but also some exotic cross cultural elements. In this case, it’s a reminder of just how Middle Eastern Flamenco and Spanish music is.

And Corea plays with such energy through out.

It’s hard to imagine that such a bright light has been extinguished.

First dancer to win a Grammy!

According to Dance Magazine, “flamenco dancer Nino de los Reyes just became the first-ever dancer to win a Grammy. As one of the band members, de los Reyes made dance history when the album Antidote by Chick Corea and The Spanish Heart Band won the 2020 Best Latin Jazz Album.”

Here’s the video from their performance:
