Hello, hello... it's ok now? Hello... how are you?
Are you ready for the concert?
I'll put these papers overhere...
Well... I want to welcome on behalf of the SCD and ChileJazz
to this concert of Rodrigo Ratier Quintet,
so let's give an applause to the musicians back there... shall we?
Please, let's give a very special appaluse to Aristides Leal,
who came from Buenos Aires to make the sound of this concert tonight...
He's overthere! We'll meet him later because he's behind the controls.
Well, of course you know Rodrigo, but we must say briefly
that he was born in Buenos Aires in 1969,
and began playing the piano at the age of 6,
developing a significant career in the Argentine scene long before to come to Chile.
He arrives to Chile with a cultural heritage of compositions and musical research
that make part of a work that combines the Argentine folklore and Tango...
—with all contributions of Piazzolla—
...with the jazzistic improvisational language.
"Sur - Latin American Jazz Fusion"
that is his first album recorded in Chile,
appears in 2006, expanding his work
as a composer, arranger and soloist, in a musical process in which it will be also included
the Uruguayan Candombe and the Chilean Cueca
but in a more Jazzy way.
If "Sur" placed his music in the Latin American neighborhood,
and "Neurotango", his second album recorded in Chile, in 2008,
brings the urban Tango,
now, "Resonance", his third album, that releases tonight,
summarizes this dialectic in a plurality global sound
of beauty and peerless musical thought.
So, we are going to welcome tonight,
with affection to these great musicians
who are going to play for us tonight...
First of all, Nicolas Rios on drums!
let's give him a big applause!
Mr. Hugo Rojas on bass!
Daniel Roman on guitar!
Alejandro Rivas on soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones!
And finally, Rodrigo Ratier on piano!
