Richard Bona, Mandekan Cubano Transcend Cultures at Port-Au-Prince Jazz Festival


Posted 2/11/2013
It would be hard to think of a more challenging spot in the Americas to put on a jazz festival, but producers Joel and Milena Sandler Widmaier have done it seven times with the Festival International de Jazz de Port-au-Prince. Needless to say, the festival was canceled in 2010 after the city was devastated by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake.
The 2013 edition of the Festival International de Jazz de Port-au-Prince ensued on Jan. 19–26 and featured musicians from 13 countries. Saxophonist Branford Marsalis headlined the opening performance, which took place in the town of Jacmel, and bassist Richard Bona and his Afro-Cuban group Mandekan Cubano rounded out the lineup, closing out the fest on Jan. 26. In between, a variety of lesser-known international and Haitian artists—including the popular local guitarist Belo—appeared at free and ticketed events at multiple venues, offered daytime clinics to aspiring local players, and jammed into the night at post-show after-parties.
Apart from the physical difficulty of presenting an international event after a debilitating natural disaster, resources are scarce, and the country’s critical infrastructure is lacking. It then falls to the musicians to be border-crossers.
The festival’s final concert was held outdoors at the Parc Historique de la Canne à Sucre. The venue is a former sugar mill on the site of an 1803 military victory by Jean-Jacques Dessalines, a key figure of Haitian independence. Heavy rains had taken out the roof over the stage the night before, but the final night was a clear, warm one, the stage lit under a full moon. Amid a collection of 19th-century sugar-processing and rum-distilling equipment, Cameroonian bassist and all-around polymath Richard Bona connected with the audience through an Africanized take on Cuban dance music.
Entirely self-educated, Bona speaks 11 languages alongside his vast musical vocabulary. His band, Mandekan Cubano, consisted of five A-list veterans of the Latin music scene in New York: trumpeter Michael Rodriguez, trombonist Ozzie Melendez, tight-locked Venezuelan percussion cousins Luisito Quintero and Roberto Quintero, and mighty pianist Osmany Paredes, who packs a lot of polyrhythmic muscle. They opened with the Guillermo Rodríguez Fiffe’s chestnut “Kikiribú Mandinga,” which Bona sang in his native Bantu language of Duala. As the set progressed, he bantered between songs in French, wisecracked in English and even yodeled in the final number.
There was also another sensational Cuban keyboardist from New York on stage that night. Sporting a platinum Afro and two-toned goatee, Axel Tosca Laugart lit up an opening set by Haitian-American pop-jazz chanteuse and flutist Melanie Charles. Alongside the fine alto saxophonist Godwin Louis, bassist Calvin X Jones and drummer Gashford Guillaume, Charles poured out her soul in a splendidly passionate set, thanking the crowd in Creole and singing as if it were the most important night of her life.    DOWNBEAT.COM

Review: Monterey Jazz Festival 55th Anniversary Tour



McBride, Bridgewater, Potter and more take the festival on the road

A Philadelphia audience was treated an unforgettable evening of great jazz celebrating the 55th anniversary of the Monterey Jazz Festival, founded in 1958. The tour included a stellar line-up featuring vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater, bassist Christian McBride, pianist Benny Green, drummer Lewis Nash, saxophonist Chris Potter and trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire.

Bridgewater and McBride greeted the audience, lightheartedly sharing fond memories of Philadelphia International Records as McBride strummed a few bass lines of favorite tunes. Next, McBride shared that he was playing the legendary Ray Brown’s bass as a dedication; he and Bridgewater performed a very lively version of Duke Ellington’s “I’m Beginning to See the Light.”

When the other members of the all-star band arrived on stage, solos ensued from Bridgewater and McBride, followed by the rhythm section featuring McBride, Green and Nash, followed by tunes written and led by Potter and Akinmusire, including “The Shade of the Cedar Tree,” McBride's tribute to Cedar Walton; the jazz standard “All of Me”; Dizzy Gillespie’s “Tango,” which highlighted Nash’s brush virtuosity; and Billie Holiday’s “God Bless the Child.”

Luciana Souza/Romero Lubambo at the Jazz Standard 2/13/13



"An altogether affecting display of dramatic vocal prowess"

In 2005, when Luciana Souza’s future husband, the L.A. record producer and jazz bassist Larry Klein, came to hear her duo with Brazilian guitar virtuoso Romero Lubambo at NYC’s Jazz Standard, he wanted to like her very much. Having met the Brazilian singer briefly backstage at an L.A. Philharmonic concert where she was the featured soloist, Klein was intrigued as much by her vocal chops as by her intelligence and grace. Now he was in New York on business, but also to see Souza again.

“When people sing in multiple genres,” Klein recalled not long ago, “scary things can happen. I had heard Luciana in the context of orchestral music, and in this show she was performing Brazilian music with a guitar player. I remember going to the club and thinking, ‘Oh, I hope this is good.’ But then they started playing and … she was sodamn good I got a bit intimidated. They were amazing.”
Eight years later, Souza and Lubambo were back at the Jazz Standard and still amazing audiences with their mastery of tricky Brazilian rhythms, the depth of their emotion and their synergy as a duo.
Klein and Souza, now married and living in L.A. with a three-year-old son, are celebrating her Grammy nominations in two different categories, not to mention two different languages, for two of her albums produced by Klein and released on the same day: The Book of Chet, an homage to Chet Baker, and Duos III, the latest installment of her critically praised series of vocal/guitar duets of Brazilian songs, which features Lubambo and two other Brazilian guitar greats, Marco Pereira and Toninho Horta.
For this Valentine’s week engagement, Souza and Lubambo played love songs in Portuguese and English from both albums. Either performer could have led the date. Souza is arguably the greatest Jobim interpreter of her generation and a six-time Grammy nominee (with one win). Lubambo, a preeminent master of finger-style guitar in both Brazilian and jazz idioms, is not only Souza’s regular duo partner but a mainstay of Dianne Reeves’ rhythm section, as well as a member of Trio da Paz, perhaps the finest small group in Brazilian jazz.
They began a sprightly “Doralice” with Souza high-speed scatting in unison with Lubambo’s rush of single notes, a kind of amuse-bouche for the ears, before settling into the lively samba rhythm. Throughout the evening, Souza played percussion, sometimes a snare with brushes, sometimes wielding a mean triangle. Between the two of them they often sounded like a quartet.
The fast-paced samba mode continued with Djavan’s delightful “Maria das Mercedes,” the only song all evening not featured on the “Duos” or “Chet” albums. Introducing the Jobim masterpiece “Chora Coracao,” Souza listed great Brazilian composers—Chico Buarque, Ivan Lins, Barbosa, Caymmi—but said, “We always go back to Jobim.” Her performance of this haunting ballad—with its lyric that translates as, “Have pity on me/I can no longer live without you”—was infinitely tender, yet delivered with surgically precise intonation.
For songs from the hypnotic Book of Chet album, which features Souza’s voice backed only by an austere guitar trio led by Larry Koonse, Lubambo switched from a Prenkert classical guitar to a Godin 5th Avenue electric. On the album, she said, “We did all ballads, everything slow, slower, then slower than that.” Reproducing her haunting arrangement of “The Thrill is Gone,” Lubambo played the bass ostinato and descending fourths, and Souza provided the drowsy beat with brushes, together nailing the arrangement’s ghostly effect. The similarity to the album ended there, however, as Souza took liberties with the melody, dragging the lyric about a love grown stale as if she were lugging around a corpse, in an altogether affecting display of dramatic vocal prowess.
More wonders followed: a great performance of “Dindi” in an original Lubambo arrangement blending bossa nova and blues; and the wordless instrumental duet “Dona Lu,” a virtuoso piece written for Souza by Marco Pereira. What can you say about such mastery? Following a medley of songs by Gilberto Gil and Djavan that turned into a blazing display of technical acumen by Lubambo, Souza remarked, “We’ve been playing together since 1996, and every night I’m just … ” As her words trailed off, she just looked incredulous.
