Estoy escuchando / I'm listening: Søren Bebe Trio - "A Song For You" (Spice of Life, 2012)


Hace muchos años, a finales de los años cuarenta, Europa se convirtió en un sitio especial para los músicos Norteamericanos de jazz, y los países Nórdicos estaban entre sus favoritos, sólo recuerden la demostración de cientos de jóvenes cuando el gobierno Danés se negó a dar al gran saxofonista Dexter Gordon un permiso para permanecer en el país, gritando con fuerza: "¡Queremos a Dexter!".
Bueno mis amigos. estamos nuevamente en Dinamarca, donde las viejas semillas del jazz son ahora coloridas flores y fuertes árboles en la escena Europea de jazz, y el joven pianista Danés Søren Bebe un estupendo ejemplo para ver como la magia musical aún sigue floreciendo.

El último álbum de Søren Bebe, con su trío, es "A Song For You" (Spice of Life, 2012), mayormente baladas, pero no la típica grabación de baladas, porque encontrarán espacio para la tristeza, la alegría, tensión, y la habilidad al piano de Søren Bebe siempre alerta para entregar momentos asombrosos, con la brillante colaboración de Niels Ryde en bajo eléctrico y Anders Mogensen en batería.

Como es habitual, tengo algunas impresiones muy personales sobre la bella música incluída en el álbum:

"Maria", dulce como una tierna canción de cuna.
"A Song For You", escapando de la melancolía.
"Oh Shenandoah", una soberbia interpretación de una pieza única de música.
"Hope", si hay esperanza, hay felicidad.
"Nocturne", caminando suavemente hacia los sueños nocturnos.
"Country Road", los caminos musicales son siempre elecciones saludables.
"Remembering B", blues, pero no blue (triste).
"Again and Again", para abrir esos cerrados círculos internos.
"A Song For You, Too", en el camino indicado hacia un día soleado..
"Free, Free, Set Them Free", bella libertad, finalmente.

Mis buenos amigos, el jazz está aquí para quedarse, y debemos pensar gracias a gente como Søren Bebe y sus socios musicales.
Como me gusta decir, "el buen arte debe sobrevivir", y nosotros, al otro lado del escenario, somos una fuerza esencial para mantener a estos fantásticos músicos vivitos y coleando.


Many years ago, by the end of the forties, Europe became a very special place for North American jazz musicians, and the Nordic countries were between their favorites, just remember the demonstration from hundreds of young people when the Danish government refused to give the great sax player Dexter Gordon a permit to stay in the country, crying out loud: "We want Dexter!"
Well my friends, we're again in Denmark, where the old seeds from jazz are now colorful flowers and strong trees in the jazz European scene, and the young Danish pianist Søren Bebe a marvellous example to see how the musical magic is still blossoming.

The last album from Søren Bebe, with his trio, is "A Song For You" (Spice of Life, 2012), mostly ballads, but not the kind of typical ballads recording, because you'll find space for sadness, joy, tension, and Søren Bebe's piano skills are always alert to deliver amazing moments, with the brilliant collaboration from Niels Ryde on electric bass and Anders Mogensen on drums.

As usual, I've got some very personal impressions from the beautiful music included in the album:

"Maria", sweet as a tender lullaby.
"A Song For You", running away from melancholy.
"Oh Shenandoah", a superb interpretation of a unique piece of music.
"Hope", if there's hope, there's happiness.
"Nocturne", walking gently into the night dreams.
"Country Road", musical roads are always healthy choices.
"Remembering B", blues, but not blue.
"Again and Again", to open those closed inner circles.
"A Song For You, Too", on the right way to a sunny day.
"Free, Free, Set Them Free", beautiful freedom, at last.

My good friends, jazz is here to stay, and we must think thanks to people as Søren Bebe and his musical partners.
As I like to say, "good art must survive", and we, at the other side of the stage, are an essential force to keep these fantastic new musicians alive and kicking.
