Il rapporto tra Jazz e Musica Classica rimane uno dei temi più dibattuti tra storici, critici ed appassionati. Si tratta di una relazione complessa, una sorta di incontro-scontro tra culture che si nutre tanto di differenze quanto di scambi autentici e creativi.
Sin dal primo ‘900 anche il mondo operistico a New Orleans era diffuso e conosciuto tra i primi musicisti di Jazz, che spesso avevano una formazione classica. Jazz ed Opera sono quindi legati da quel sottile filo fatto di storia e di cultura, di migrazioni e di linguaggi che hanno unito i continenti ben prima che il Jazz fosse identificato come un genere a sè stante.
Di certo esistono delle difficoltà a conciliare linguaggi di provenienza storica così diversa, ma esistono anche molti elementi compatibili che consentono una feconda mescolanza di idee.
“L’Inutile Precauzione” è una rielaborazione in 5 movimenti per quartetto jazz di parte del materiale motivico, ritmico ed armonico del “Barbiere di Siviglia", opera buffa in due atti, eseguita per la prima volta il 20 febbraio 1816 con il titolo di “Almaviva, o sia l’inutile precauzione”.Alle ore 21,30 ci si sposta sul palco centrale per ascoltare:
FRED HERSCH solo
FRED HERSCH - piano
Straordinario pianista, Fred Hersch è una forza creativa pervasivamente influente che ha plasmato il corso della musica per oltre trent'anni come improvvisatore, compositore, educatore, direttore di band, collaboratore e artista discografico. È stato proclamato "il pianista più innovativo nel jazz degli ultimi dieci anni" da Vanity Fair, "un'elegante forza di invenzione musicale" da The L.A. Times e "una leggenda vivente" da The New Yorker.
Con oltre tre dozzine di album al suo attivo come leader o co-leader, Hersch riceve costantemente elogi da parte della critica e numerosi riconoscimenti internazionali per ogni nuovo attesissimo progetto. 14 volte candidato al Grammy, Hersch ha regolarmente vinto i premi più prestigiosi del jazz, tra cui Doris Duke Artist nel 2016, Jazz Pianist Of The Year dal Jazz Journalists Association nel 2018, e il Prix Honorem de Jazz da L'Acádemie Charles Cros nel 2017 e nel 2018, il suo storico trio con con John Hébert edEric McPherson, è stato votato il # 2 Jazz Group nel sondaggio DownBeat Critics.
Oltre alle memorabili esibizioni in trio, nonché le sue collaborazioni con musicisti del calibro di Anat Cohen, Bill Frisell, Esperanza Spalding, Julian Lage e Miguel Zenon; e cantanti Kurt Elling, Kate McGarry e Renée Fleming Fred hersch, tuttavia, raggiunge la massima capacità espressiva ed emozionale durante le sue esibizioni soliste mozzafiato. JazzTimes ha acclamato il suo modo di suonare non accompagnato come "una forma d'arte completa, autosufficiente, univocamente pura", mentre All About Jazz ha osservato che "quando si parla di arte del piano solo in jazz, ci sono due classi di artisti: Fred Hersch e tutti gli altri."
Nel 2006, Hersch è diventato il primo artista nei 75 anni di storia del leggendario Village Vanguard di New York a suonare per una settimana come pianista solista. Memorabili sono le sue registrazioni in solo “Alone at the Vanguard” del 2011 e “Open Book del Palmetto” entrambe nominate al Grammy Awards.
Nel 2017 viene pubblicato il suo celebre libro di memorie, “Good Things Happen Slowly” (Crown Archetype Books / Random House). Il libro rivela in modo avvincente la storia della sua vita in musica insieme a un coraggioso ed esplicito racconto delle sue lotte e trionfi come primo musicista jazz apertamente gay e sieropositivo. È apparso sul Sunday New York Timesand su "Fresh Air" della NPR, nominato uno dei “Five Best Memoirs” del 2017 dal Washington Post e dal New York Times e nel 2018 è stato acclamato come " Book Jazz of the Year" dalla Jazz Journalists Association. La sua storia è stata raccontata anche attraverso il bellissimo documentario “The Ballad of Fred Hersch”, presentato in anteprima al prestigioso Full Frame Film Festival nel marzo 2016 e che verrà proiettato, per la prima volta in Italia, durante il nostro Festival.

The relationship between Jazz and Classical Music remains one of the most discussed topics among historians, critics and enthusiasts. It is a complex relationship, a sort of encounter-clash of cultures that is nourished so much by differences as by authentic and creative exchanges.
Since the early 1900s the operatic world in New Orleans was also widespread and known among the first jazz musicians, who often had a classical education. Jazz and Opera are therefore linked by that subtle thread of history and culture, of migrations and languages that have united the continents well before Jazz was identified as a genre in its own right.
Certainly there are difficulties in reconciling languages of such diverse historical origins, but there are also many compatible elements that allow a fruitful mixture of ideas.
"The Useless Precaution" is a reworking in 5 movements for jazz quartet of part of the motivic, rhythmic and harmonic material of the "Barbiere di Siviglia", comic opera in two acts, performed for the first time on February 20, 1816 with the title of "Almaviva, o sia l'inutile precauzione"
At 9,30 p.m. we move to the central stage to listen:
FRED HERSCH solo
