Jacques Figueras e Paris Jazz Big Band em Brasília

Brasiliatur Jazz Fest faz parte do calendário do Ano da França no Brasil

Paris Jazz Big Band e o baixista Jacques Figueras fazem única apresentação no Teatro Brasília, nesta quarta, dia 16 de setembro

O palco do Teatro Brasília receberá, no dia 16 de setembro, show da Paris Jazz Big Band, grupo de 16 solistas formado em 1998 sob liderança dos músicos franceses Pierre Bertrand e Nicolas Folmer, com participação especial do percussionista basiliense Amoy Ribas. O evento será aberto pela apresentação do baixista de jazz Jacques Figueras, francês radicado no Brasil, ao lado de Toninho Ferragutti e Ted Falcon.

O Brasiliatur Jazz Fest, em sua primeira edição, faz parte do calendário oficial do Ano da França no Brasil, e propõe a junção, no palco, de músicos franceses e brasileiros, não necessariamente vindos da tradição jazzística, para mostrarem ao público novas criações.

O show da Paris Jazz Big Band é baseado no repertório original criado pela dupla Bertrand e Folmer, durante os mais de dez anos de existência do grupo. A orquestra já se apresentou com colaborações especiais com Diana Krall, Johnny Griffin, Richard Galliano, Henri Salvador, entre outros. O show que será apresentado no Teatro Brasília repercute a célebre temporada que o grupo fez no Trabendo, famosa sala de concertos parisiense, de janeiro a maio de 2007.

As interpretações dirigidas pelo músico Jacques Figueras unem um background parisiense, onde se encontra o que há de melhor na música francesa e africana, e seus estudos do jazz em Nova York, conferindo novas cores à música instrumental brasileira. “Conto também com um time ideal de instrumentistas, profundos conhecedores da música brasileira, grandes parceiros, solistas e intérpretes. Isso garante uma forte característica à banda”, diz Figueras. Além do acordeonista Toninho Ferragutti e do violinista Ted Falcon, Figueras estará acompanhado do pianista Fábio Torres, do violonista Michael Ruzitschka e do baterista Edu Ribeiro.

RIP - Marcel Jacob :-(

* January 30, 1964
† July 21, 2009

Tuesday July 21, 2009, sadly for his family, longtime friends and his loyal fans, Marcel Jacob took his own life after many years of personal & health issues he was battling.

Jeff Scott Soto, as Talisman's vocalist and longtime partner has made the following statement:

It is with deep regret & remorse I, along with fellow members of Talisman, am announcing our brother, long time colleague & overall greatest musician we've ever played with, Marcel Jacob, is no longer with us as of today, Tue July 21, 2009. Marcel took his own life after many years of personal & health issues he was battling.

We were mere days from starting what would have been our 8th Talisman studio album together, celebrating the 20 year anniversary of the band. I spoke with him just yesterday about finalizing the details that would get us started only to get the news this afternoon that my friend merely gave up on it all.

I want him to be remembered as everything I have already mentioned above but more so, he helped influence so many musicians & songwriters. He was a quiet, gentle soul with a very intense passion for his craft. I have been associated with him since 1984 but it was when we started Talisman is when he truly became a brother, one of my dearest friends.

It is far too early to say anything now but I plan to organize a memorial for his legacy, although not known by the masses, the ones who do see him as the genius I know he was.

R.I.P. my friend, you will be sorely missed, you will be in my heart forever & I'll see you on the other side...I hope now you will get your dream & jam with Phil Lynott!
