Jacques Pellarin Quartet ‘Sup Dude’ CD Review, Grenoble – France

Jacques Pellarin Trio
French accordionist Jacques Pellarin has branched out significantly from his classical origins to front a jazz and world music influenced quartet. His latest CD, ‘Sup Dude’, was reviewed in the website All About Jazz’ by Bruce Lindsay, and is reproduced here:
?
French accordionist and composer Jacques Pellarin has the welcome ability to craft music which is technically challenging, yet immediately accessible and engaging. ‘Sup Dude’ is a joyous album, filled with refreshingly unpretentious tunes performed with skill and obvious pleasure by his quartet - a pleasure readily communicated to others. ‘Sup Dude’ follows 2010's self-produced trio date, ‘Karenita’, adding to that album's winning mix of jazz, Latin and folk music with another collection of tunes in a similar vein.

Pellarin is a superbly lyrical player, his lightness of touch showcased on the sprightly ‘Squeezebox Samba’ and ‘So Frenchy’. Pellarin and saxophonist Diego Fano form a great frontline partnership; the combination of accordion and saxophone is especially fruitful on the delightful melodies of ‘Le Temps De Souffler’ and ‘Stevenson Bossa’, where Fano's warm, reedy, tone contrasts with Pellarin's brighter sound.

The addition of Renaud Bourquard on bass helps to fill out the band's sound, giving the music more depth and richness. Most notably, his presence seems to give percussionist Yann Pajean added power and freedom when he's behind the drum kit. Bourquard's use of effects works well on the first part of the title track, when the slinky, snaky bass sound complements Pellarin's accordion; but overuse, as on the mid-section of ‘Irish Diversion’, tends to overwhelm the other instruments. The bassist is at his most effective on tunes such as ‘So Frenchy’, when effects are kept to a minimum and he focuses on anchoring the rhythm.

Pellarin and his fellow musicians imbue ‘Sup Dude’ with a great sense of fun and a welcome lack of pretension. Pellarin's writing emphasizes catchy hooks, danceable rhythms and light, upbeat, melodies. The resulting tunes have a brightness and optimism, as well as an apparent simplicity that belies both his virtuosity and the talents of his quartet.

Track Listing: Sup Dude; Le Temps De Souffler; Irish Diversion; Stevenson Bossa; CML Song; Live at Champlong; Squeezebox Samba; Tango Addiction; So Frenchy; Luz y Fuerza.

Personnel: Jacques Pellarin (accordion), Diego Fano (alto and soprano sax), Renaud Bourquard (bass), Yann Pajean (drums, percussion).

‘14 Years Ago’ – Jimmy Shand Remembered

Sir Jimmy ShandSir Jimmy Shand (1908-2000) had an exceptionally long and prolific career, which stretched from the early 1930s to the 1990s. He recorded more tracks than Elvis and the Beatles combined, and composed over 300 tunes and songs.

In 1999 he was the first accordionist to be knighted. The Accordions Worldwide news for January 23rd 1998 reported that BBC Scotland had screened a program about the great man’s life in music.

Few accordionists anywhere could match the long term success of the 20th Century’s most famous Scotsman

BBC TV FEATURES JIMMY SHAND – UK

The Herald (UK 27/12) featured an article on Jimmy Shand MBE who will turn 90 on January 28th. BBC Scotland is celebrating Jimmy Shand's life with a programme on Hogmanay called Button Box Wizard, featuring Jimmy and his band.

Jimmy's father was a keen melodeon player and Jimmy learnt to play the accordion before he went to school. At the age of 10 he was performing with a dance band. Jimmy has played the length and breadth of the British Isles, sometimes to crowds estimated at 20,000 as well as tours abroad including New Zealand, Canada and six times around Australia.

Jimmy Shand MBE has had a locomotive, a racehorse and a pub named after him, and his portrait is in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh.

Трио баяниста-виртуоза Вадима Фёдорова выпустило новый альбом "Swing for Sergey" - Исландия

CD Swing for SergeyВ составе трио вместе с Вадимом Фёдоровым играют Лейвюр Гуннфрссон (контрабас) и Гуннар Хильмарссон (гитара).
Новый альбом состоит из оригинальных сочинений Вадима Фёдорова вместе с хорошо известными произведениями цыганского джаза.

Концерты в связи с презентацией состоятся в Рейкьявике 3 и 4 февраля в 21.00 в Livemusic cafe Rosenberg и 5 февраля в 16.00 в центре культуры Gerðuberg.

,,Swing for Sergey” второй альбом трио, первый, ,,Papillons Noirs” был выпущен в 2009 году.
Началом для записи послужили произведения сочиненные руководителем трио, Вадимом Фёдоровым,одно из которых явилось также названием для альбома.
«Мой сын Сергей с раннего детства играет на гитаре и всегда восхищается игрой нашего гитариста Гуннара. Первое произведение на компакт-диске ,,Swing for Sergey” посвящается моему сыну, его интересу к музыке и к гитаре» Музыканты трио проживают в данный момент в различных странах (Исландия, Дания, Германия), но это никак не помешало созданию альбома, который был записан в августе 2011 в Исландии.
Фотографии, украшающие обложку, сделаны Франком Хёлером профессиональным фотографом из Дрездена, и имеют свою историю создания.
Во время гастролей трио по Исландии мы сделали остановку на вершине горы, достали инструменты и решили поиграть. В это время к нам подъехал автомобиль с немецкими номерами. Это были фотографы, и они предложили нам несколько фото для их выставки, таким образом, получились эти замечательные снимки.
