Por\u00a0Enrique Farelo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"El disco fue grabado el pasado mes de marzo de 2019 en la ciudad de New York.<\/p>\n

John Scofield, Steve Swallow y Bill Stewart forman un tr\u00edo de poderosas personalidades cuya instrumentaci\u00f3n es de sobra conocida por todo aficionado al jazz moderno:\u00a0guitarra el\u00e9ctrica, bajo el\u00e9ctrico y bater\u00eda.<\/p>\n

Pero es John Scofield quien rinde homenaje a su admirado amigo y compositor\u00a0 Steve Swallow en este Swallow Tales<\/em> donde la totalidad de temas llevan la firma del bajista.<\/p>\n

No resulta ni claro y ni siquiera justo decir que el disco es obra de John Scofield cuando Steve Swallow compone la totalidad de los temas y la participaci\u00f3n de Bill Stewart es igualmente decisiva. Para m\u00ed Swallow Tales<\/em> lo firman tres grandes del jazz de hoy d\u00eda, tres m\u00fasicos que basamentan su m\u00fasica en el pasado para mirar al futuro.<\/p>\n

Nueve piezas forman parte de este proyecto s\u00f3lido y swingueante<\/em> salpicado por momentos de feeling<\/em> jazz de turbadora belleza.<\/p>\n

Con \u201cShe Was Young\u201d comenzamos a disfrutar del swing<\/em> y del feeling<\/em>, de lo intenso y de lo calmado con un John Scofield elegante y preciso que recuerda a George Benson o Wes Montgomery y con un Steve Swallow que toma el relevo con una intervenci\u00f3n oscura y apacible al que las escobillas de Bill Stewart parece marcar los pasos a seguir.<\/p>\n

En \u201cFalling Grace\u201d al inicio, la voz principal es de John Scofield que interact\u00faa con Steve Swallow en la alternancia de los solos.<\/p>\n

De mayor intensidad y pasi\u00f3n se muestra la r\u00e1pida y moderna \u201cPortsmouth Figurations\u201d donde John Scofield se acerca al rock<\/em> con un guitarreo de notas alargadas, saltarinas y distorsionadas.<\/p>\n

\u201cAwful Coffee\u201d es la canci\u00f3n de mayor duraci\u00f3n tras la inicial \u201cShe Was Young\u201d. En ella se ofrece un sonido compacto, persuasivo y constante de un tr\u00edo que fluye y hace fluir la m\u00fasica con soltura y entendimiento absoluto de las partes como si fuera uno.<\/p>\n

El siguiente tema, \u201cEiderdown\u201d, pasa por ser otro de los de mayor extensi\u00f3n. Casi como una continuaci\u00f3n de la anterior composici\u00f3n muestra sus mejores cualidades con un desarrollo sonoro que corre paralelo y donde Bill Stewart demuestra sus cualidades con los parches complement\u00e1ndose a la perfecci\u00f3n con Scofield y Swallow.<\/p>\n

\u201cHullo Bolinas\u201d se decanta por el be bop<\/em> cl\u00e1sico con John Scofield y Steve Swallow alternado en sus intervenciones que dan paso a uno de los pasajes de mayor belleza del disco en la relajante \u201cAway\u201d.<\/p>\n

No se pierde la perspectiva del swing<\/em> en \u201cIn F\u201d con un sonido controlado y comedido al que asisten las intervenciones de Scofield, Swallow y Stewart; sigue por derroteros parecidos el corte final, \u201cRadio\u201d, aunque algo m\u00e1s intensa.<\/p>\n
