Había dejado el ordenador encendido, con la voz de Cécile McLorin, y a eso de las dos y media de la madrugada, un ritmo endiablado de guitarra me despertó. Diego Figueiredo interpretando Take Five. Me sorprendió ese toque que hacía vibrar las cuerdas hasta destilarlas en notas ínfimas al modo del cristal. Me remitió a tiempos lejanos y supe que siempre habría melodías renovadas por nuevas generaciones. Esto es lo esencial, el continuo rebrotar de la vida. «Cuando las ranas sueñan y la hierba ondula, los botones de oro agitan su cabeza y el calor viene a bañarse en los estanques y en los arroyos, es entonces que empieza el verano (Thoreau, Diario).
One of the most up-to-date, fluid, non-standard versions of Take 5 I have ever heard. Fresh interpretations paying tribute to the original. Thanks, it was an absolute 8 minute enjoyment!
I have heard this song in many, many versions since I first heard it on Brubeck's "Time Out" album. I was about five or six, when my dad bought it (original pressing) and taught me how to use his turntable. It is a song that has been a part of my life for over fifty years, I have played it myself, I love this version.
One of the best improv ive never heard ...just incredible !!! this dude can do anything with his guitar 'N his chromatic licks are so bouncy ...wOoW m@n !!!!! the thing i love too is that his setup is so simple just a classical guitar + a PA system = ReaDy To Go ...No shredding bullshit $$$ crazy gears whatsoever ^-6 this is real music IMO
just goes to show that there are soooooooooo many guitar players out there that are far superior then the shit that is pushed on us my the main stream music industry. THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
Of course there are. Stop worrying about what’s popular. Be thankful that you can find artists like this and enjoy. Diego can find work in commercials, movies, tv etc. But the guys playing “popular” stuff are just lucky (money) to be where they are for the moment. They cannot play going the other way. Popularity on Top 40 radio isn’t a gauge of quality. It’s music created for kids, who lack sophistication. Many of them will eventually learn to appreciate more challenging art. If you’re not familiar with these two Brazilian guitarists: Bola Sete (7Ball) and Mateus Asato.
This improvised take on Take Five is very novel and interesting... Wonderful rhythmical interplay between guitar and keyboard... Great music! Clive Davies
Diego Figueiredo GRANDE VIOLONISTA VIRTUOSE, admiro muito seu trabalho e espero um dia tocar proximo do que vc é! Parabens! Continue postando videos deste excelente show no Ibirapuera! Estupendo! O som e imagens estao ótimos!
Elongated to the extremity of jazz ! the piano almost held it together but self indulgence by the guitarist, as technically gifted as he is made this a marathon, thanks anyway guys and Never again
This is a great example of someone taking a great peice of music, and making it their own, in the best way. I think Desnmond and Brubeck would be porud of this rendition.
if I could play half of what this guy plays I would be considered a virtuoso stellar guitarrist. And the piano guy wasn't precisely walking the dog to the park...Geniuses!
