Jazz, that beautiful provocation

Jazz provokes the meeting between different styles that can be together at the time to play the music. In Argentina jazz is also played, so the question is ¿does the argentine jazz exist?


Sergio Pujol, a journalist specialized in jazz and tango, says accurately that "the jazz in Argentina always has been that music by popular root and complex syntax that defies the limits between genres. The scene of a young Gary Burton playing at Astor Piazzolla's bar is eloquent. It speaks to us of the jazz as a language played here and there, without restrictions, without borders in an incessant trip. But also it notices to us that the jazz can be a sparkle in the horizon of other music. The jazz like provocation, like sonorous hypothesis"

The music that has its cradle in the North, takes other values when it is played in the South. The people say that for "breathing jazz" is necessary to cross the small streets and to plunge itself into the bars of New Orleans, but also is truth that jazzmen given to their ambitious passion and big bands has known to demonstrate that in Argentina, the musicians can also play jazz with their own looks about it.

Jazz is the vehicle that allows the demarcations to be diluted: that is the improvisation, is the spontaneous artistic creation. That flexibility for the invention makes possible the mix with "other music". Because of that, the jazz festivals has been opened the program to the diversity. The simple and complex of the jazz obtains the answer in the fact that it is feed by other rythims and, at the same time provokes new mixtures.
