Angefangen hat er ganz klassisch mit Klavierunterricht, dann begeisterte er sich für Rockmusik, bis er die Jazzplatten im Elternhaus in die Finger bekam. Später studierte der 1974 in Finnland geborene Alexi Tuomarila Komposition und Jazz-Klavier in Helsinki und Brüssel und gewann gleich mehrere wichtige Wettbewerbe. Im Quintett des polnischen Jazztrompeters Tomasz Stańko spielte Toumarila bis zu dessen Tod und bewegte sich damit auf internationalem Parkett. Mit seinem eigenen Trio ist Alexi Tuomarila schon seit zwanzig Jahren aktiv. Jetzt hat er mit ihm bei dem renommierten Label Edition Records unter dem Titel „Departing the Wasteland“ eine ambitionierte Produktion vorgelegt. Ein vom ersten bis zum letzten Takt mit- und hinreißendes Album, mit dem Tuomarila als Pianist einen großen Schritt nach vorne getan hat, schwärmt unser Jazzkritiker Georg Waßmuth.

The Melbourne international jazz festival, now in its 18th year is Melbourne’s premier jazz festival which takes over the city for 9 days in june showcasing local and international talent in different concert halls, bars and occasionally laneways! This year I was lucky enough to attend three completely different yet equally exiting events: Tomasz Stańko Band, Vince Jones and the astral orchestra, and Jose James. Polish born Tomasz Stanko has been a jazz trumpeter since the 60s, touring the world time and time again and working on film scores. His performance at the Coopers Malthouse was a true testament to his experimental yet highly skilled approach to jazz. Accompanied by Alexi Tuomarila on piano, Slawomir Kurkiewics on bass and Olavi Louhivuori on drums, the four absolutely filled the space of the theatre unlike any others! Performing a total of six songs, interspersed with extensive improvisation, the band created the classic dizzying jazz atmosphere and had the entire audience bopping their heads, slapping their knees and completely entranced. The band nor Stanko virtually ever stoped throughout the performance, expect for at the beginning to introduce themselves, and seemed to be as captivated by the music they were making as the audiences were listening to that music. Over all this performance was the true epitome of jazz – dizzying and disorientating, yet completely enthralling. In contrast, Vince Jones and the Astral Orchestra presented a much more rehearsed show as they paid tribute to the music of Van Morison. Vince Jones, who has been an Australian jazz vocalist legend for over 20 years joined forces with the seven piece Astral Orchestra, which was specially brought together for the event by musical director, Matt McMahon. Together they performed, and reimagined the songs of Van Morrison from his albums Moondance and Astral Weeks. This was a very interesting and creative evening as Jones and the Astral Band covered, and put a unique jazz spin on what is typically rock music. It was very enjoyable hearing Morrisons music in jazz form! Arguably the show did justice to both genres, and to both of the legendary artists. for those who are fans of both, or even either artists or genres and want to see rock in jazz form, or jazz with the influence or rock, then Vince Jones and the Astral Orchestra will be performing at the Recital Centre tonight as part of an extended run. Finally, in a one-off exclusive evening, José Jones presented the music of Billie Holiday. American born, Jones is a well-regarded jazz vocalist but has also had great success in r’n’b and even hip hop, and you could really see this influence coming through in his tribute. Together with a highly skilled band, Jones played homage to the jazz legend that he considered his ‘musical mother’ in the same year that would have been her centennial. Jones did a sensational job performing what were the songs most important to him and his career, but adding his own unique, r’n’b influenced spin on them. His smooth yet powerful voice managed to completely fill the packed Hammer Hall, as he gave offered what was, for a lack of a better word, a sexy rendition of songs such as Yesterday I Had, and God Bless, interspersed with personal anecdotes about how Holiday influenced his career and the careers of his peers. Jones love and admiration of the great Lady Day was extremely evident not only in the way he sang her songs, but also in how he told her stories and the picture he painted of the blues legend. The show culminated in an encore which featured the most enthralling and unique rendition of Strange Fruit, arguably one of Holidays most famous songs, which Jones performed solo with the use of a loop pedal! Not only did this do true justice to an extremely controversial and sacred track, it was a stroke of genius and left the audience in awe. The Melbourne International Jazz Festival ends for another year tonight! IF you still have a chance then do your self a favour and get down to experience some local or international experimental talent.

Toda la información acerda de HDO en http://www.tomajazz.com/web/?cat=13298. Portugal tiene una actividad jazzística más que notable, no estaría de más tomar ejemplo de sus festivales y ciclos, con un buen número de músicos y grupos que trabajan con el jazz en todas sus expresiones y que no dejan de publicar nuevas referencias. Dentro de lo que se podría calificar como corriente mainstream están, por ejemplo, Espécie de Trio (Hugo Raro –piano-, Filipe Teixeira –contrabajo-, António Torres Pinto -batería) con Por outras palabras (Carimbo Porta Jazz) en el que echan mano de música de David Bowie, The Beatles, The Doors o U2 –entre otros- para armar su nueva grabación; el guitarrista André Fernandes que en Dream Keeper (Edition Records, 2015) cuenta con la colaboración de Perico Sambeat –saxos y flauta-, Alexi Tuomarila –piano-, Demian Cabaud –contrabajo-, y Iago Fernandez –batería-; el contrabajista Cícero Lee junto al pianista Carlos Garcia y el baterista José Salgueiro –y otros músicos- en Those Who Stay; o la cantante y compositora Mariana Vergueiro que en Morning Rain (Carimbo Porta Jazz) está al frente de un quinteto que completan Pedro Neves –piano-, Bruno Macedo –guitarra-, Nuno Campos –contrabajo- y Nuno Oliveira –batería-. Cuatro propuestas que bien merecen una escucha atenta.

Tomasz Stanko is not a household word among North American Jazz fans but I'm sure he'll become better known through his various concert appearances at this summer's Jazz festival season with his new band. Stanko is Poland's best known Jazz musician and he has played every kind of Jazz imaginable. He was born in Rzeszow Poland on July 11,1942 into a musical family playing piano and violin but began trumpet studies in 1959 after being inspired by Miles Davis. Stanko has carved a place for himself in Jazz history and now resides in New York. I'm sure he will become more well known to North American audiences. The album that is tonight's Jazz feature is his latest for the ECM label and is called "Dark Eyes". It presents Stanko's new band made up of himself on trumpet, Alexi Tuomarila on piano, Jakob Bro on guitar, Anders Christensen on bass and Olavi Louhivuori on drums. Of the ten compositions, eight are by Tomasz and two are by his former mentor Krzysztof Komeda. The compositions range from introspective and dark to hypnotic and declarative. The music is fascinating and very riveting and grabs one's attention. Tomasz Stanko is a true original and "Dark Eyes" is worthy of your attention.
