It was an honor for me to be part of this magical song with all these amazing storytellers.. I was so excited that night. Hope to be part of it again 💫
Beni ilk dinlediğim andan beri yakalamış iki şey sayabilirim Diane Reeves'in sesi dışında: Hüsnü Şenlendirici'nin performansı ve hemen ertesinde o büyük çığlığın omzuna sakince dokunarak başlayan ve onu dinlenmesi için kenara geçmeye buyur eder edayla devam eden sonra da kendine has bir şekilde hayat veren harika gitar performansınızla siz. Hayran bırakıyorsunuz. Bu cümleler umarım doğrudur ve yerinde tanımlamıştır hislerimi. Teşekkürler.
I agree, wonderful music that I get chills every time I listen to. Though I must humbly add: the percussionist Zakir Hussain is from India and his instrument (tabla) is not related to Turkish music. Amazing performance.
with all due respect do ella fitzgerald, i have never heard someone scat so clearly and as eloquently as dianne reeves. she never fails to amaze me with her colorful and powerful singing.
Once riding a bus over the cockpit country of Jamaica was surrounded by people speaking in this musical language. A fusion created by runaways from the flatland sugar plantations. What an instrument her voice…
But how is this? What I have heard from her has previously bored me. And now, good Lord, something as loose and tight, playful and masterful as this group of magicians? More! Where?
Хюсню Шенлендиричи - турецкий музыкант цыганского происхождения. Он происходит из семьи музыкантов: его дедушка Хюсню Шенлендиричи играл на кларнете и трубе, другой его дедушка Отмар Кёфтеджи играл на кларнете, а его отец Эргюн Шенлендиричи играл на трубе.
'It's Tango, Jim, but not as we know it..!' As Mr Spock might have said, one eyebrow raised quizzically... Whilst I would normally say that Dianne Reeves can do no wrong (I am a huge fan), in this particular case I fear she has stepped into unfamiliar and unknown territory. She seems to have made no effort to familiarise herself with the genre. Anyone familiar with the music of Astor Piazzolla, for example, will think of certain intrinsic factors, such as: 1) Instrumentation - normally we would expect to hear the following - bandoneon, violin, double bass (often bowed) with piano and guitar but with no drums. Instead of the bandoneon we have a clarinet - which may be spot-on for Klezmer, or perhaps Hot Club of Paris style ballad, but is quite wrong for tango. 2) Stylistic idiosyncrasies and devices - such as staccato bowed notes on the double bass, fast and high ascending glissandi on the violin, and strange rhythmic staccato bowing of the violin strings the 'wrong' side of the bridge. These devices are entirely missing here. This tune, as a vehicle for a bit of fun whilst improvising, is fine - but please, please don't confuse this with tango. I fear that the late, great Mr Piazzolla will be spinning in his grave upon hearing this. The reason for my surprise (at her complete and utter lack of understanding of tango as a genre) is that when singing jazz, Dianne chooses the cream of jazz musicians, and gets beautifully crafted arrangements of standard songs, usually with exquisite harmonies. Normally she goes to great lengths to achieve the very highest standard of performance and as a consequence is held in the highest esteem worldwide as a an artist of the highest calibre. Maybe this is the exception that proves the rule - happily, I know of no others...
@@carlcat As I said in my comment, I'm a massive fan of Dianne Reeves, and always will be. This is the only time I've ever felt the need to make any criticism, and it's only about one song. Your analogy with Van Gogh (who's work I love, BTW) doesn't hold water. It would be similar to me not liking one particular painting of his, but liking the rest of his output. Bear in mind that I am a music graduate, musician and music teacher/lecturer, specialising in jazz.I am very familiar with tango, and with the work of Astor Piazzolla in particular, so I speak from a position of both knowledge and experience of playing both contemporary jazz and of tango. I suspect that you do not.
@@timelwell7002 Just because it's named Tango, doesn't mean it has to be judged as a Tango, it's just a name. Judge it for what it is and in my opinion it's a wonderful piece of art. Your credentials are impressive, certainly better than mine but keep in mind many well respected critics did not like Van Gogh's work either which in time proved them wrong.
