INTERVIEWS> PIAZZOLLA PEE RECORDS YOUR GRANDFATHER
Hello, Nonino

After five years of therapy and twenty as a musician in different bands, finally felt ready to play the musical heritage of his surname. Next month, Daniel "Pipi" Piazzolla Escalandrum group presented with his new album plays Piazzolla Piazzolla. Before weight Radar chatted with the name, the unusual way in which came to the percussion, the many musical paths that travels the same time and the many friends of his grandfather who pursue him.

"Yes, it's a pressure. And a broken egg. Since kindergarten I've been talking about my grandfather. Now at least there is an artistic excuse. "Coghlan in his home, surrounded by women and children, Daniel" Pipi "Piazzolla speaks with a certain resignation from the stigma of the name, so powerful that neither manages to neutralize his childish nickname. The "case Pipi" can be analyzed from the music or the psychoanalytic couch. The fact is that dodged the tango as he could, he devoted himself to the battery and only after five albums with the jazz band Escalandrum and nearly 20 years of experience in different groups (an impressive range that extends from the Tasty opossums to Lito Vitale Quinteto, through ad hoc bands such as that incorporated two weeks ago to entertain the wedding of Karina Jelinek ...!), may be interviewed by himself what it is: a Piazzolla.

In the middle, two significant aspects: therapy for five years was three times a week and she was discharged in 2008 and ran Escalandrum your script to make an album entirely dedicated to the repertoire of Astor, whichever title granted a special entity to drummer: Piazzolla plays Piazzolla. The album will be presented June 15 at the Grand Rex with the Cuban saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera invited in seven subjects and one Susana Rinaldi. Pipi said the press release: "The desire to interpret the works of my grandfather was present from the beginning of my career. Now I feel really fit and the confidence to face this challenge. I decided to do with my group Escalandrum, a 12-year career with the same lineup, records, travel, and many scenarios and shared experiences. One of the keys to my decision was the interaction and knowledge, both human and musically, that we as a group. The repertoire is chosen carefully to make music sound to rise to the occasion and Escalandrum not lose your sound. The idea was to choose some classics and other works not so well known but equally beautiful. This is a tribute to Astor Piazzolla, who is a permanent inspiration for all musicians in the world. It is a tribute that we do with love and respect. " He says now, with his daughter Mora nailed down at the computer and little Lorenzo flowing through the room with a hammer, reckless: "It started when an essay touched a theme of my grandfather, not well known, 'Slang'. We finished, we looked and said, 'Wow, how it sounded. " And most importantly, without betraying the style and spirit of the band. There is an improvised party, party outside. The version has a lot of layers ... We keep our sound and at the same time respecting the issue as it was conceived. The complex was to move what the violin and bandoneon three saxophones. Tango is very delicate melody played on saxophone tango bandoneon sounds rather fat. It's horrible. Just choose topics that do not have those things attacked hard, bandoneon. 'Slang' was the seed of this album, it was early 2008. "

The term "Escalandrum" is a neologism that plays on a variety of Astor Piazzolla Creole shark fishing in Punta liked the East (escalandrún) and the word drum (drum). The sextet is completed by Nicholas Guerschberg (drums), Mariano Sivori (bass), Damian Fogiel (tenor sax), Martin Pantyraid (bass clarinet and baritone sax) and Gustavo Musso (alto and soprano). Guerschberg also leads the quintet La Camorra, as the name implies, is piazzollian stamp. However, the director of Escalandrum is the drummer. He says an oblique way: "I am directing the music where it goes."

must have been more of a conflict with all that represents the name, weight ...

"It's incredible, but no. Yet they I want to charge more, but I refuse. In a time not only wanted to give notes, but it broke. I could not hold it. Unfortunately, the journalists want to interview me. And the band uses: suddenly you have to go to a radio at two o'clock y. .. I have to go yo! The last time in Colombia we arrived at six o'clock, eight o'clock I got into a taxi and was taking notes until six o'clock. Crazy, but ... and the shows are promoted and someone has to do. Returning: what happens between us is magical. Zero conflict. Is that beyond the name, with which surely get more work, I burned the tabs and the boys also studied. Eight years ago we tried together. I always tried to keep things clear: I wanted to be at the family level. My grandfather always told me: "study, study." My old mortgaged the house so I left to study in the United States for one year.

Astor died in 1992, 1972 to Pipi is among the teachings of his father Daniel, also a musician, he played in the 70s in the Electronic Piazzolla Octet, and the fame of his grandfather, was consuming its infancy. "The last three years are not counted Astor, had hemiplegia, could not speak. But even my 17 build a nice link. "

What jumped into therapy?

-Uff ... So ... The obsessive pursuit of perfection. It happens when I make an espresso as now or Guerschberg Nico brings a topic that is a bossa nova and I spent the whole night trying to Argentine jazz again ... My grandfather was also looking for perfection, but not because his family had someone perfect. He was well. In short, it is not easy ...

What is not is easy?

"Nothing. It is brave: I'm playing drums and there are ten guys who watch what the fuck I do. I know it was always like, live with it. It is a presence, ongoing observation. After you get off and you face: "I was a friend of your grandfather." There is always a friend of my grandfather! (Laughs). I play 250 times a year, you imagine ... You're

Astor's grandson, but Daniel is the father of Pipi ... Clearly outweigh your old musical.

"Yes, he says. What happens is that my dad will not be more devoted to music. But I forget that I'm in this because of him ... The encouraged me, gave me twine. A capo. And my grandfather too, rang the bell and shouted at my father: "Take me down to Little Daniel." And he took me to concerts, rehearsals, to the chapel ... I for example in the Columbus, in the famous 1983 concert. The relationship between my grandfather and my father was very deep. In addition to having played with him, my dad was very supportive. Astor was removed several times, had many periods of solitude ... He was able to pay my dad a ticket to Milan because they wanted to be alone. Ass and were very short.
WELL THAT YOU WILL SEE AND PLANK

Drunk Grandma gave him an organ when he was 5. With this organ, Pipi Hitachi pulled the jingle, that of "how good you look" Adriana Brodsky immortalized. "I started to get all the TV ads. I asked my old piano and I started studying with a teacher. Read a score and after a while it had it all in the head. Five years I studied piano.

How did you get the battery?

"For the fans of River ... We lived on Libertador, near the stadium. I am a fan, for I always local. Well, the thing is that the first time I went to the court saw those drums, those dishes ... Did you see when entering the drunks in the board? These drums, that sound, I took percussion. I was always interested and moved me so popular. One day I went to see a Rod Stewart concert and the drum solo I realized they were all elements of the swollen River. I jumped the tab. Look, I had been playing next to Lefty Roizner at concerts of my grandfather ... But I struck out there. I said, "Enough piano, I want that." I started studying with a very rough, Rolando "Bear" Picardi. Was three times a week. I painted for rock drummer, I liked Pink Floyd, The Police ... But the bear gave me to hear Four & More, the live album Miles Davis, 1964. And I broke his head. Tony Williams was taken that day. There I got into jazz. Was collecting the loot to buy the battery, but reached no further. In the end I gave it my grandfather.

Escalandrum emerged at a historical moment in which there was a decisive renewal in the language of jazz made in Argentina. In fact, it began to talk about "new jazz argentino", there were some clubs that hosted the move, changed the criterion standard, began to delve into a repertoire that watched the Argentine rock, folk and tango, and imposed new compositions. Mixed and sometimes scrambled names like Jodos Ernesto, Mariano Otero, Adrian Iaies, Juan Cruz de Urquiza, Sergio Verdinelli, Paula Schocron and many more native scene changed dramatically. The years passed, the scene was consolidated and, as usual, started the divisions, challenges, and internal ... Many musicians even now whistle at the mention of the label "new jazz argentino": Inflation seems to them that means nothing.

"For you there is a" new Argentine jazz?

"Of course. A tourist who comes to Buenos Aires do not buy an album by Miles Davis ... because it is absurd. Buy an album of ours and we're going to see us or other groups here. So. Here is composed, is quoted as folk, rock ... I do not know, seems so obvious. I think eventually there are musicians who are embarrassed to be Argentine. A jazz composed of Argentina, who does not have the typical jazz groove of the United States, what is? Some areas they discuss ... They also think that Latin jazz is shit. Go on, sit down to play it. In Finally, there are guys who read many books, which are very intellectual ... I am interested in what they think, oh, Guillermo Klein, Richard Nant, Juan Cruz de Urquiza. Treading

40, Pipi Piazzolla is split between the River unpredictable as a jazz solo, family, students and Escalandrum recitals or what to paint. The show at the wedding of Jelinek is an example of the philosophy that guides him: play anywhere, but to play. "I also spin with Ute Lemper, and just recorded for Sony in France for a record of a mine supercomercial, a kind of French Natalia Oreiro. Sucks do not do anything, as long as making music. I try to convey to my students. However, in Escalandrum fuck no, we do what we want, the artistic guidance only. We even play in the Personal Fest! Nico showed up with a bunch of cans of speed, we rocked our usual repertoire, and people fell on his ass ... Once we close a heavy metal festival in Moron. We are not close, but the band manages its concept. I also am going parallel to the fore with the Pipi Piazzolla Trio, with Lucio Balduini Fogiel Damian on guitar and tenor sax. "

When bored, the man obsessed with perfection writes books like the one pulled the year Past: Battery contemporary. Techniques, styles and concepts.

After "Lunfardo" How to complete the album?

-vote ": each chose their fifteen my grandfather's favorite subjects. And it was a mix of topics not well known as "Let the devil" and classics such as "Adios, Nonino" and "Libertango." Many stayed outside. I would have liked to do "Fracanapa", "La Camorra I", "Decarísimo."

Do you think in plays Piazzolla Piazzolla II?

-No. In fact we are already beginning to compose our ninth album and will be with their own songs, maybe a little more urban. We'll see. Escalandrum is a jazz band. I hear Davis, Shorter, a Mehldau ... I hear Troilo. What my grandfather took it as an exception. Although it was so different. Astor Piazzolla

A if you listen ...

"Yes.

Still?

"Yes. In the car I always have two CDs of it.

What happens when you hear it?

- Truth? It gives me goosebumps
