Nor did I | | endure discrimination". | | | | A young Lopez Ruiz had appeared on a television panel alongside | | writer, politician and philosopher Arturo Jauretche, criticising the | | Ongania dictatorship. Jauretche told Lopez Ruiz "Now say it with | | music". This was the deep inhale that lead to El Grito, literally | | "The Scream". As Lopez Ruiz later explained "Jauretche urged me that | | my protests should not remain in words and acquire the consistency of | | a work... but it was not so much what he told me but how he told me, | | what prompted me to make the work take shape, first in a live concert | | and then in a recording". | | | | As the police and military began resorting to kidnapping, torture and | | summary executions to quiet dissent, with depressing inevitability | | the artist community and their work were a particular target of the | | increasingly brutal regime. El Grito was banned not long after it was | | released and the majority of original copies were unceremoniously | | destroyed. | | | | The work of a genius artist living under an oppressive dictatorship, | | erased by the government of the time, this is buried treasure in | | every sense and it's been a rare record for over 50 years. But it | | isn't just being hard to find that has pushed up the prices of those | | few original copies that survived, this is a foundational record in | | the development of jazz in South America. | | | | El Grito (Suite Para Orquesta De Jazz) is a showcase for Jorge Lopez | | Ruiz's skills as a composer and arranger as he leads a virtuoso | | orchestra of the likes of Mario Cosentino (alto sax), Baby Lopez | | Furst (piano), Pichi Mazzei (drums), Gustavo Bergalli (trumpet), | | Oscar Lopez Ruiz (guitar), Arturo Schneider (flute) and Jorge Lopez | | Ruiz himself plays double bass on the fourth and fifth movements. | | | | As the album's sub-title explains, this is a Jazz orchestra concept | | suite. Five movements, to be heard as a whole, that end where they | | begin. | | | | "When I wrote it there was no history of a cyclical work in jazz. But | | I didn't notice that, I needed to express something and I did it. At | | that time they told me I was crazy, that such a thing was very | | difficult to do. But hey, I like challenges". | | | | Yet this is not challenging jazz. There are certainly avant garde, | | free jazz flourishes, but the hard bop characteristics make this a | | very accessible album: easy to listen to without being easy | | listening. And Lopez Ruiz's love of film brings a definite cinematic | | feel. | | | | The title movement opens the album in bombastic style. "El Grito" | | grabs you by the lapels and refuses to let go. Raw then controlled, | | it's by turns stabbing then soothing, with rage weaving in and out of | | the elegant styles. "M.A.B. = Amor" is our favourite here. With a | | tense introduction and a patient build, a gentle sax sweeps in to | | lift everything up to meet the serene piano and soft drums. Elegantly | | paced, it moves back and forth between deep contemplation and a more | | urgent call and response between strings and horns. A | | near-eight-minute, slow motion marvel. | | | | The second side eases in with the beautifully-titled "Hasta El Cielo, | | Sin Nubes, Con Todas Las Estrellas" ("Up To The Sky, No Clouds, With | | All The Stars") a relatively brief mid-tempo piece featuring Lopez | | Ruiz's insistent bass notes high in the mix, and again blending the | | sublime with the emotive with its wild horns and tight rhythm | | section. | | | | It's followed by "Tendre El Mundo" ("I Will Have The World") which | | also leads with hypnotic bass, but this time swifter, driven by | | crashing drums, rapid horn conversations and effortlessly cool piano | | flourishes. Rounding out the suite, "De Nuevo El Grito" (something | | like "The Next Scream" or "The Scream Renewed") is a stylish closer. | | Whilst Lopez Ruiz's bass shifts the track along, the horns and piano | | are more restrained, yet no less stunning. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2021-=----------------------/__\--'
