La fête à Wayne Shorter à Montréal

Très très fort concert, il faudrait plutôt dire sublimes et intenses moments de feu hier à la salle Maisonneuve de la PDA autour du 80e anniversaire du maître Wayne Shorter. En lever de rideau, un spectateur dans le fond de la salle a osé entonner C'est à ton tour - bien mieux que le Happy... - et la salle a suivi dans un beau brouhaha, mais plus encore, le génial pianiste Danilo Perez a capté au vol la mélodie de Vigneault comme en fait foi la vidéo ci-jointe publiée par les bons soins de SortiesJazz -TVJAzz. Magnifico! Le quartet s'est alors lancé dans une suite bouleversante. Auparavant, Joe Lovano et l'impromptu trompettiste Dave Douglas en quintette nous avaient tout de go catapultés dans une centaines de trails grouillant aux accents new-yorkais. C'était vif et saisissant après les murmures si bien tricotés de Esperanza Spalding à la contrebasse, mais un peu endormant et tâtonneux avec Gery Allen au piano et Terry Lunn Carrington à la batterie. Au total, trois grandes heures de musique caractérisée par des compositions récentes et non pas des standards. Ce qui montre bien que le jazz continue de creuser l'âme et le monde qui est le nôtre.



En supplément : Joe Lovano & le Dave Douglas quintet :


Vlà un Bouchard qui a de l'allure, bout de lulu!

Le maire qu'on voit danser
le long du golfe clair...

Au boutte du boutte c't'au boutte!




chorus 1)
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, doing the best you can
Well it's all right, as long as you lend a hand

You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
Waiting for someone to tell you everything
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring
Maybe a diamond ring

(chorus 2)
Well it's all right, even if they say you're wrong
Well it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
Well it's all right, as long as you got somewhere to lay
Well it's all right, everyday is judgement day

Maybe somewhere down the road aways
Youll think of me, and wonder where I am these days
Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays
Purple haze

(chorus 3)
Well it's all right, even when push comes to shove
Well it's all right, if you got someone to love
Well it's all right, everythingll work out fine
Well it's all right, were going to the end of the line

Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive
Im just glad to be here, happy to be alive
It don't matter if you're by my side
Im satisfied

(chorus 4)
Well it's all right, even if you're old and grey
Well it's all right, you still got something to say
Well it's all right, remember to live and let live
Well it's all right, the best you can do is forgive

(chorus 5)
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, even if the sun don't shine
Well it's all right, were going to the end of the line
