LĂGENDES DU JAZZ
PAQUITO DâRIVERA, AMBASSADEUR DES MUSIQUES DU MONDE
ââMusic was in my soul and in my heart. I never had the idea to do anything else."
- Paquito DâRivera
NĂ© le 4 juin 1948 Ă La Havane, Ă Cuba, Francisco de JesĂșs Rivera Figueras était le fils de Francisco ââTitoââ D'Rivera, un saxophoniste classique et chef dâorchestre qui vendait Ă©galement des instruments de musique. Câest aussi le pĂšre de DâRivera qui lui avait fait connaĂźtre les disques de Duke Ellington et de Benny Goodman. Le pĂšre de DâRivera lâemmenait aussi dans des clubs comme le Tropicana et Ă des concerts.
Enfant prodige, DâRivera avait commencĂ© Ă suivre des cours de thĂ©orie et de saxophone avec son pĂšre Ă partir de lâĂąge de cinq ans. LâannĂ©e suivante, DâRivera avait participĂ© Ă son premier concert et avait interprĂ©tĂ© une composition Ă©crite par son pĂšre. Ă lâĂąge de sept ans, DâRivera Ă©tait devenu le plus jeune musicien de lâhistoire Ă endosser les cĂ©lĂšbres saxophones Selmer. DâRivera avait seulement dix ans lorsquâil sâĂ©tait produit avec le National Theater Orchestra de La Havane en 1958. FormĂ© initialement pour jouer du saxophone soprano, DâRivera Ă©tait par la suite tombĂ© en amour avec le saxophone alto et avait appris Ă jouer de cet instrument en autodidacte avec lâaide dâun manuel.
Ă lâĂąge de seulement douze ans en 1960, DâRivera Ă©tait entrĂ© au Conservatoire de musique de La Havane, oĂč il avait suivi des cours de saxophone, de clarinette et de composition. Câest aussi durant ses Ă©tudes au conservatoire que DâRivera avait rencontrĂ© le pianiste Chucho ValdĂ©s pour la premiĂšre fois. Cinq aprĂšs son entrĂ©e au conservatoire, DâRivera avait Ă©tĂ© soliste invitĂ© avec le Cuban National Symphony Orchestra dans le cadre dâun concert qui avait Ă©tĂ© radiodiffusĂ© Ă travers le pays en 1965. DâRivera avait continuĂ© de jouer avec plusieurs groupes au cours de son adolescence, dont le Cuban Army Band, avant de co-fonder lâOrchestra Cubana de MĂșsica Moderna avec ValdĂ©s. DâRivera avait dâailleurs dirigĂ© lâorchestre pendant deux ans.
DĂBUTS DE CARRIĂRE
En 1973, DâRivera avait co-fondĂ© avec ValdĂ©s le groupe Irakere, qui fusionnait le jazz, le rock, la musique classique et les rythmes afro-cubains. ComposĂ© de trois membres de lâOrchestra Cubana de MĂșsica Moderna et de trois autres musiciens, le groupe Ă©tait devenu extrĂȘmement populaire aprĂšs sâĂȘtre produit dans le cadre des festivals de jazz de Newport et de Montreux.
En 1979, le groupe avait remportĂ© un prix Grammy dans la catĂ©gorie du meilleur enregistrement de jazz latin pour son premier album Ă©ponyme. La mĂȘme annĂ©e, le groupe sâĂ©tait produit aux cĂŽtĂ©s de musiciens de rock et de jazz dans un festival appelĂ© Havana Jam. Les performances du groupe avaient Ă©tĂ© enregistrĂ©es et avaient Ă©ventuellement donnĂ© lieu Ă la publication des albums Havana Jam et Havana Jam II (1979), faisant ainsi du groupe le premier ensemble cubain de lâĂ©poque post-Catro Ă signer un contrat avec une compagnie amĂ©ricaine.
De plus en plus insatisfait des contraintes imposĂ©es Ă la pratique de la musique par les autoritĂ©s cubaines, DâRivera avait expliquĂ© quâaprĂšs avoir fait la rencontre de Che Guevara, son dĂ©sir de quitter Cuba sâĂ©tait encore intensifiĂ©. Au dĂ©but de 1980, alors quâil Ă©tait en tournĂ©e en Espagne, DâRivera sâĂ©tait rendu Ă lâambassade des Ătats-Unis et avait demandĂ© lâasile politique. DâRivera avait laissĂ© sa femme et son enfants Ă Cuba, aprĂšs leur avoir promis de les faire venir aux Ătats-Unis.
DĂšs son arrivĂ©e aux Ătats-Unis, DâRivera avait obtenu un grand soutien pour lui et sa famille. Sa mĂšre, Maura, et sa soeur, Rosario, se trouvaient dĂ©jĂ aux Ătats-Unis Ă lâĂ©poque. Elles avaient quittĂ© Cuba en 1968 et Ă©taient devenus citoyennes amĂ©ricains. Sa mĂšre Maura avait travaillĂ© aux Ătats-Unis dans lâindustrie de la mode, et sa soeur Rosario Ă©tait devenue une artiste et femme dâaffaires respectĂ©e. AprĂšs avoir obtenu sa rĂ©sidence permanente, DâRivera avait jouĂ© avec Dizzy Gillespie, David Amram, Mario Bauza et dâautres musiciens amĂ©ricains bien connus.
DâRivera sâĂ©tait particuliĂšrement fait connaĂźtre aprĂšs la publication de ses deux premiers albums, Paquito Blowin' (juin 1981) et Mariel (juillet 1982). Il avait aussi Ă©tĂ© en vedette dans le Time Magazine et dans des Ă©missions de tĂ©lĂ©vision comme CBS Sunday Morning.
Avec Gillespie, DâRivera avait participĂ© Ă la fondation du United Nations Orchestra en 1988, un groupe de fusion de quinze musiciens qui faisait la synthĂšse entre le jazz et la musique latine. La mĂȘme annĂ©e, DâRivera avait jouĂ© comme soliste avec le National Symphony Orchestra et le Brooklyn Philarmonic Orchestra.
En 1991, toujours comme membre du big band de Gillespie, DâRivera avait participĂ© aux cĂŽtĂ©s de James Moody, Slide Hampton, Airto Moreira, Flora Purim, Arturo Sandoval et Steve Turre Ă lâenregistrement de lâalbum Live at the Royal Festival Hall.
En plus de ses collaborations avec lâorchestre de Gillespie, DâRivera sâĂ©tait produit avec de nombreux autres groupes, dont Triangulo, qui jouait du calypso et de la salsa, et le Caribbean Jazz Project. DâRivera avait Ă©galement formĂ© deux groupes qui combinaient sa passion pour le jazz et la musique classique, le Paquito D'Rivera Big Band et un groupe de musique de chambre appelĂ© le Paquito D'Rivera Quintet. DâRivera avait aussi commencĂ© Ă composer pour dâautres groupes, dont le Gerald Danovich Saxophone Quartet de MontrĂ©al (qui a enregistrĂ© sa cĂ©lĂšbre ââNew York Suiteââ), le Caracas Clarinet Quartet, le Cuarteto Latinoamericano, le Quinteto DâElas et le Aspen Wind Quintet.
ĂVOLUTION RĂCENTE
D'Rivera avait continuĂ© dâenregistrer et de se produire en concert durant les annĂ©es 1990 et 2000. En 1999, D'Rivera sâĂ©tait produit Ă la Maison-Blanche et au Kennedy comme artiste invitĂ© dans le cadre du concert Americanos. En 2000, DâRivera avait publiĂ© les albums Music From Two Worlds et Habanera. Brazilian Dreams avait suivi en 2002. En 2001, DâRivera avait aussi Ă©tĂ© un des principaux solistes du film Calle 54 du rĂ©alisateur Fernando Trueba.
En 2003, D'Rivera avait remportĂ© ses cinquiĂšme et sixiĂšme prix Grammy, respectivement pour les albums Brazilian Dreams et Historia del Soldado. En 2017, D'Rivera avait publiĂ© lâalbum Paquito DâRivera presents the Vitral String Quartet. Lâalbum comprenait trois compositions de DâRivera intitulĂ©es ââAfroââ, ââWapangoââ et ââKites Over Havana.ââ Dans son compte rendu de lâalbum, le New York City Jazz Record Ă©crivait:
âIn the realm of chamber music, string and brass quartets are a well-established tradition, which allow the melodic colors of their instrumentation to weave a deeply satisfying harmonic tapestryâŠThe Vitral Saxophone Quartet (Oscar Gongora: soprano; Roman Filiu: alto; Alejandro Rios: alto and tenor; Raul Cordies: baritone) is a prime example of the beauty that four saxophones can produce. Kites Over Havana is a gorgeous entry into the canon.âÂ
Reconnu pour son travail de musicien et de compositeur tant dans les domaines du jazz que de la musique classique, D'Rivera avait Ă©galement dĂ©crochĂ© plusieurs commandes, notamment pour sa composition "Gran Danzon (The Bel Air Concerto)ââ, un concerto pour flĂ»te qui lui avait Ă©tĂ© commandĂ© par le Rotterdam Philharmonic et le National Symphony Orchestra, et qui avait Ă©tĂ© prĂ©sentĂ© en grande premiĂšre au Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts de Washington, D.C., en 2002. Le critique Joe Banno avait Ă©crit au sujet de lâoeuvre dans le Washington Post en fĂ©vrier 2002: ââ... Best that night was Paquito DâRiveraâs Grand Danzon (The Bel Air Concerto) in its world premiere. A spiky and imaginatively colored piece of Latin American orchestral writing.ââ Lâoeuvre avait de nouveau Ă©tĂ© prĂ©sentĂ©e par le Baltimore Symphony Orchestra au Lincoln Center en avril 2006. En 2000, le Jazz at Lincoln Center avait Ă©galement commandĂ© Ă DâRivera une "Pan American Suite" dans le cadre de la sĂ©rie As of Now. Lâoeuvre avait Ă©ventuellement Ă©tĂ© diffusĂ©e sur le rĂ©seau NPR.
DâRivera est Ă©galement lâauteur dâune sonate pour clarinette intitulĂ©e ââThe Cape Cod Filesââ. Lâoeuvre, qui avait Ă©tĂ© commandĂ©e Ă DâRivera par le Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival en 2009, a Ă©tĂ© prĂ©sentĂ©e en grande premiĂšre par la Silicon Valley Symphony en mai 2011. DâRivera avait Ă©galement composĂ© pour le Turtle Island String Quartet, le Ying Quartet et lâInternational Double Reed Society. En 2002, la BibliothĂšque nationale du CongrĂšs avait commandĂ© Ă DâRivera ââFiddle Dreamsââ, une fantaisie pour violon et piano qui avait Ă©tĂ© Ă©crite en hommage Ă la violoniste Regina Carter.
La composition de D'Rivera, ââLady in Whiteââ a Ă©tĂ© prĂ©sentĂ©e sous forme de ballet par la JosĂ© LimĂłn Dance Company en 2012. En 2019, le concerto pour trompette de DâRivera ââConcerto Venezolanoââ a Ă©tĂ© prĂ©sentĂ© en premiĂšre Ă Mexico City par lâOrquesta de Mineria dirigĂ©e par Miguel Prieto. Le soliste Ă©tait Pacho Flores, pour qui lâoeuvre avait Ă©tĂ© composĂ©e. En juin 2022, le New Jersey Symphony Orchestra avait Ă©galement prĂ©sentĂ© un Concerto pour cor français qui comprenait des mouvements Ă©crits par quatre compositeurs, dont DâRivera. Lâorchestre Ă©tait dirigĂ© par Xian Zhang. Le soliste Ă©tait Chris Komer. Parmi les autres concertos de DâRivera, on remarquait ââConversations with Cachaoââ. Concerto pour contrebasse et saxophone, lâoeuvre qui rendait hommage au lĂ©gendaire contrebassiste cubain IsraĂ«l ââCachaoââ Lopez, avait Ă©tĂ© prĂ©sentĂ©e en grande premiĂšre Ă Caramoor en juin 2007. Une autre composition rĂ©cente de DâRivera Ă©tait intitulĂ©e "Three Poems from the New World", et sâinspirait des oeuvres de Fortunato Villarrondo, JosĂ© MartĂ et Dana Gioia. Les trois poĂšmes qui exploraient les thĂšmes de lâintolĂ©rance raciale, de la haine et de lâinjustice, tentaient de leur substituer des valeurs comme lâamitiĂ©, lâamour et le respect de la vie.
D'Rivera avait aussi été artiste en résidence au New Jersey Performing Arts Center, et directeur artistique de la New Jersey Chamber Music Society. Il a également été compositeur en résidence au Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts en 2007. Depuis 1995, D'Rivera est aussi directeur artistique du Festival International de Jazz en el Tambo en Uruguay. Il est aussi directeur artistique du Duke Ellington Festival de Washington, D.C.
ParallĂšlement Ă ses autres activitĂ©s, D'Rivera continue rĂ©guliĂšrement de se produire en tournĂ©e avec diffĂ©rents groupes Ă travers le monde, dont le Paquito D'Rivera Big Band, the Paquito D'Rivera Quintet et le Chamber Jazz Ensemble. Le groupe rĂ©gulier de D'Rivera, le Paquito D'Rivera Quintet, est formĂ© du trompettiste argentin Diego Urcola, du pianiste Alex Brown, du contrebassiste pĂ©ruvien Oscar Stagnaro et du batteur Mark Walker. Le groupe sâest mĂ©ritĂ© un prix Grammy pour le meilleur album de jazz latin en 2001.
D'Rivera a aussi fait de frĂ©quentes apparitions comme soliste invitĂ© avec des orchestres comme le London Philharmonic et la Costa Rican National Symphony. Parmi les autres orchestres avec lesquels D'Rivera avait collaborĂ©, on remarquait le National Symphony Orchestra, le Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, le Florida Philharmonic Orchestra, le Baltimore Symphony, le Bronx Arts Ensemble, le Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra, le YOA Orchestra of the Americas, lâAmerican Youth Philharmonic et le SimĂłn BolĂvar Symphony Orchestra.
D'Rivera a publiĂ© une autobiographie intitulĂ©e Mi Vida Saxual (My Sax Life) en 2005. Le prologue de lâouvrage avait Ă©tĂ© Ă©crit par lâĂ©crivain cubain Guillermo Cabrera Infante. Ăgalement auteur, DâRivera a publiĂ© une nouvelle intitulĂ©e ââEn tus brazos morenos.ââ
D'Rivera vit actuellement Ă North Bergen, New Jersey, avec son Ă©pouse, la chanteuse Brenda Feliciano. Le fils de D'Rivera, Franco, est Ă©galement compositeur et a collaborĂ© avec son pĂšre dans le cadre de compositions pour lâAmerican Saxophone Quartet de New York.Â
D'Rivera avait toujours rĂȘvĂ© de rĂ©aliser une sorte de symbiose entre ses deux passions: le jazz et la musique classique. Les prix quâil avait remportĂ©s et le respect dont il avait bĂ©nĂ©ficiĂ© tant dans le domaine du jazz que de la musique classique semblent dĂ©montrer quâil avait parfaitement atteint cet objectif. En fait, DâRivera Ă©tait devenu si renommĂ© comme compositeur classique que le Kammer Orchester Schloss Werneck avait dĂ©veloppĂ© en 1999 une sĂ©rie intitulĂ©e ââPaquito & Mozartââ dans laquelle ses compositions de musique de chambre avaient Ă©tĂ© prĂ©sentĂ©es aux cĂŽtĂ©s de celles de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ! Le point culminant du concert Ă©tait un Adagio composĂ© par DâRivera qui comportait des Ă©lĂ©ments du concerto pour clarinette en A Majeur de Mozart. Peter Linhart Ă©crivait dans le Main Echo Aschaffenburg de Montag en juin 1999: ââThe orchestra as well as the soloist executed the work with perfect intonation and precise interpretation. At no time came the impression that two different musical worlds were colliding. The concert was an offering of excellence by virtue of the soloist and the orchestra, led by Ulf Klautsenitzer. With a focused tone and intonation, he effortlessly graced through the various registers unwavering...ââ En 2000, DâRivera avait Ă©galement obtenu une nomination aux prix Grammy pour son album Music of Two Worlds, qui comprenait ses propres compositions aux cĂŽtĂ©s de celles de Schubert, Brahms, Guastavino et Villa Lobos.
Excellant également dans le domaine bebop, D'Rivera est le seul artiste à avoir remporté des prix Grammy dans les catégories de jazz latin et classique en 2003. D'Rivera a également été juge lors du 5e et du 8e gala des Independent Music Awards destinés à récompenser le travail des artistes indépendants.
Paquito D'Rivera a remportĂ© de nombreux honneurs au cours de sa carriĂšre. En 1991, dans le cadre dâune performance Ă Carnegie Hall, la National Hispanic Academy of Media Arts and Sciences avait dĂ©cernĂ© Ă D'Rivera un Lifetime Achievement Award pour sa contribution Ă la musique latine. En 1999, Ă lâoccasion de son 500e anniversaire, la Universidad de Alcala de Henares avait accordĂ© Ă DâRivera un prix spĂ©cial afin de souligner sa contribution aux arts, son humanisme et sa dĂ©fense des droits et des libertĂ©s des artistes Ă travers le monde.
DâRivera a Ă©tĂ© Ă©lu ââJazz Masterââ par la National Endowment for the Arts en 2005. DâRivera avait acceptĂ© son prix en lisant la dĂ©claration suivante:
"Since I was a kid, my father, a classical tenor who loved jazz, introduced me to the music of Lionel Hampton, Count Basie, Benny Carter and Teddy Wilson. Later on I grew up listening to the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Golson, Max Roach, Ella, Sarah {Vaughan}, Carmen {McRae}, Dave Brubeck, The Heath Brothers, Gil Evans, Clark Terry and Jackie McLean. Now, 50 years after my first public performance, it feels like an incredible dream, to share the NEA Jazz Masters distinction with these giants that gave my life meaning."
Toujours en 2005, le gouvernement amĂ©ricain avait dĂ©cernĂ© Ă DâRivera la National Medal of Arts. NommĂ© clarinettiste de lâannĂ©e par la Jazz Journalists Association en 2004 et 2006, D'Rivera a Ă©galement Ă©tĂ© nommĂ© Living Jazz Legend Award par le Kennedy Center de Washington, D.C., en 2007. DâRivera est aussi rĂ©cipiendaire dâun President's Award de lâInternational Association for Jazz Educators en 2008. En 2009, DâRivera avait Ă©galement Ă©tĂ© dĂ©corĂ© de la mĂ©daille dâhonneur du National Arts Club. LâannĂ©e suivante, le Spelman College avait dĂ©cernĂ© Ă DâRivera un African-American Classical Music Award.
En 2017, DâRivera a aussi remportĂ© un Bogomolny National Service Award de la Chamber Music America en reconnaissance de ses efforts pour inspirer les nouvelles gĂ©nĂ©rations de musiciens. La National Hispanic Academy of Media Arts and Sciences a Ă©galement rendu hommage Ă D'Rivera en lui dĂ©cernant un Achievement in Music Award. DâRivera a remportĂ© huit prix Grammy au cours de sa carriĂšre.
LaurĂ©at dâune bourse de composition de la Fondation Guggenheim en 2007, D'Rivera sâest aussi mĂ©ritĂ© plusieurs doctorats honorifiques, provenant dâinstitutions aussi prestigieuses que le Berklee College of Music (2003), la State University of New York Ă Old Westbury (2012), la Manhattan School of Music, lâUniversitĂ©Â de Pennsylvanie, la City University of New York (CUNY) et lâUniversidad de AlcalĂĄ de Henares, en Espagne.
Toujours trĂšs attachĂ© Ă son pays dâorigine, D'Rivera  avait sĂ©vĂšrement critiquĂ© le guitariste Carlos Santana pour avoir portĂ© un T-shirt Ă lâeffigie de Che Guevara lors du gala des Academy Awards en 2005. Dans sa lettre, D'Rivera  avait rappelĂ© le rĂŽle jouĂ© par Guevara dans lâĂ©xĂ©cution de contre-rĂ©volutionnaires cubains, dont celle dâun de ses cousins.
DâRivera avait toujours rĂȘvĂ© de devenir musicien et nâavait jamais songĂ© Ă faire autre chose. Comme il lâavait dĂ©clarĂ© en entrevue, ââMusic was in my soul and in my heart. I never had the idea to do anything else." DâRivera a enregistrĂ© plus de trente albums sous son nom au cours de sa carriĂšre. Sur son site internet, la National Endowment of the Arts avait Ă©crit au sujet de DâRivera: ââHe has become the consummate multinational ambassador, creating and promoting a cross-culture of music that moves effortlessly among jazz, Latin and Mozart.ââ

Batacumbele [meaning "to kneel before the drum" in Yoruba] was founded in 1980 in San Juan, Puerto Rico by master percussionist Angel "Cachete' Maldonado and is one of the leading Afro-Caribbean ensembles in the world. It is to contemporary Puerto Rican music what Irakere is to Cuba.
When Angel wanted to become more serious about native Puerto Rican drumming, he sought out Julio 'Caesar' Maco Rivera. There were the traditional congas, bongos, timbales, and other hand drums, but he was also introduced to the bata drums and their Yoruban sacred ceremonial rituals of Orisha. At the time the bata drum was rarely played in Puerto Rico, this being a strong Cuban influence that would permeate later thanks to Angel's introduction of these drums to a greater audience.
Angel was soon good enough to join up with Johnny El Bravo, who fronted one of the most popular dance groups on the island. By 1970, salsa was very popular. This introduced Angel to other musicians, such as Julito Collazo and Carlos 'Patato' Valdes, the Cuban drum masters who brought awareness of the bata drums to New York, where Angel relocated in the early 70s to join the salsa explosion there.
Angel also played for salsa bands La Conspiracion, Conjunto Libre, and Tipica 73, and for salsa pianist Larry Harlow. He played with Gato Barbieri for four years after being asked to join his band. He even did some gigs with Dizzy Gillespie.

JesĂșs ValdĂ©s RodrĂguez, known as Chucho ValdĂ©s (October 9, 1941) is a Cuban pianist, bandleader, composer, and arranger whose career spans over 50 years. An original member of the Orquesta Cubana de MĂșsica Moderna, in 1973 he founded the group Irakere, one of Cubaâs best-known Latin jazz bands. Both his father, Bebo ValdĂ©s, and his son, Chuchito, are pianists as well. As a solo artist, he has won four Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards.
In 1967, he and his bandmates became founding members of Orquesta Cubana de MĂșsica Moderna, together with many other well-known Cuban musicians.

In 1973, he along with other members of the Orquesta Cubana de MĂșsica Moderna founded Irakere, an ensemble that bridged Songo and Afro-Cuban jazz. He would continue his solo career, signing with Blue Note Records, which allowed him to get international exposure. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

I have a few recs for jazz newcomers that might be less obvious, but I think could appeal to those coming with outside tastes
youtube
Roy Hargrove - earfood [2008]
A modern classic by former new guard of the straight ahead revival in the 80s/ 90s (contemporaries include Christian McBride, Joshua Redman, et al) turned gone-too-soon legend Roy Hargrove. Strasbourg St. Denis at this point has entered the canon of Jazz standards. There's not as much swing on this record as there are other grooves that a modern audience might be more accustomed too, but every one of the musicians on here are deeply embedded in the history of the music. Also, did you know he was on D'Angelo's acclaimed 2nd Album Voodoo?
youtube
Count Basie - Atomic Basie [1958;reissue 1994]
Basie sits on the Mt. Rushmore of bandleaders. Over decades his Orchestra has embodied the essence and red-hot excitement of big band Swing music. The Atomic Basie record is a lot of people's favorite from the catalogue for a reason. The band, with Neal Hefti's charts, bring some FIRE, and even when the tempo is brought down the rhythm feels too damn good. Essential listening.
youtube
Irakere [Live 1979]
Founded and led by Pianist Chucho Valdez, Irakere represented a long-absent cultural bridge between Cuba and the U.S. Their fusion of Afro-Cuban rhythms, bebop vocabulary, jazz fusion/funk, and more was State-mandated, innovative, and captivating (also they play their absolute asses off). They represent an important, albeit less known these days, piece in the history of Afro-Cuban jazz. Many of it's core/founding members have become legends of mainstream jazz (Chucho, Paquito D'Rivera, Arturo Sandoval).
I'm all for people who wanna jump in with Kind of Blue or A Love Supreme, and there are lots of people who aren't necessarily jazz heads who love those albums, but if you find that often recommended classics are not clicking, there is definitely something out there that will.
it was international jazz day and all you guys listened to was a single album??
