George Lewis regressa a Lisboa.

George Lewis no Jazz em Agosto

O grande concerto de abertura do Jazz em Agosto 2009 acontece já amanhã na fundação Gulbenkian, com um colectivo liderado pelo trombonista George Lewis. O projecto SEQUEL é uma homenagem a Lester Bowie e reune nomes com origens e vivências distintas que partilham o mesmo interesse pela experimentação na improvisação livre. Destaque para Kaffe Matthews (electrónica) e Miya Masaoka (koto, laptop, electrónica), sendo injusto para com os restantes elementos do super grupo liderado por Lewis. "A Composition for Cybernetic Improvisors" inaugura um festival dedicados aos "Ìcones e Inovadores" desta música que ainda se chama Jazz.

George Lewis está, portanto, de regresso a Lisboa e no Domingo apresentará em conferência o seu livro recente: «A Power Stronger than Itself / The AACM and American Experimental Music».

Iain McKell, "New Gypsies"

"Historically despised the new Gypsies are there by choice, not heritage. Unrelated to the Roma, the movement began in 1986 when a group of Post-Punk Anti-Thatcher protesters headed out of London into the English countryside. McKell followed these New Age Travellers to the West Country and over the years he watched them become a hybrid tribe - the new gypsies - present-day rural anarchists, living the subversive lifestyle in elaborately decorated horse-drawn caravans."

New Order - Video 5-8-6 [Extended 22:23 version]

“Video 5 8 6” is a song originally composed as “pap” (as Tony Wilson put it) for the opening night of the Haçienda on May 21, 1982. Parts of this pearl would become the basis for the Power, Corruption & Lies tracks “5 8 6” and “Ultraviolence”, as well as the associated 12-inch single “Blue Monday”.
