Ramon Valle - Levitando - Levitando

Artist: Ramon Valle Album: Piano Track: Levitando Ramon Valle: Piano Felix Betancourt: Tenor Sax Antonio Guillem: Bass Dafnis Prieto: Drums Ramón Valle (born 1964) was only seven years old when he started studying the piano at the Escuela Provincial de Arte in his home town of Holguín, Cuba. He graduated from Havana's Escuela Nacional de Arte in 1984. His exceptional talent was discovered in 1985 when he performed in a double concert with fellow Cuban pianist, Emiliano Salvador, who died prematurely seven years later. When he first performed in Europe invited by Barcelona's Jamboree Jazz Club critics were struck by Valle's virtuosity and technical perfection. Under the headline "Well-Earned Success", Spain's leading newspaper El País described him as: A pianist an with incredible technique. Besides being extraordinarily rhythmic, there are also depths of subtlety in his touch. His version of contemporary jazz is unexpected, versatile and seductive. A pianist with a great future. After this European debut, Ramón Valle went on to great success at other European and Latin American venues. That same year saw the release of Piano Solo, his second CD. Comprised once again of his own compositions, it was characterized by great originality and powerful lyricism, but especially by Valle's ability to evoke diverse atmospheres within a single composition. In 1998 Ramón Valle settled in Europe, where his tours of Germany, Spain and Scandinavia have elicited unanimous praise: Valle is pure energy... a whirlwind that drags along everyone and everything... Valle is risk, challenging the audience with unbounded creativity that refuses to bow to the slightest concession... Valle is Jazz... Valle demonstrates that the world of jazz needs to reserve a separate chapter just for him. In 2002 Valle met the trumpeter Roy Hargrove, and their musical rendez-vous resulted in a performance by the Ramón Valle Quitet featuring Roy Hargrove during the North Sea Jazz 2003. Hargrove commented on Valle after their first concert together: 'I was totally blown away. There is lots of sensitivity in his playing. The music was incredible. Ramón is such a great talent. He' s got a good touch and amazing dexterity and nice ideas. He knows how to play soft and he still like builds so many things. There's so many bags he can reach from. It's really a pleasure listening to him and play with him as well.' His own approach is, as he puts it himself 'not one hundred percent Cuban, but one hundred percent me, my trio. I would like to break with the label Latin Jazz that everybody knows so well and that people associate with hot congas.' In No Escape Valle explores his earlier narratives further, in close collaboration with his musicians who each have their defined role in the trio. 'That is what I am looking for in my music: three rhythmic levels, three melodic lines who meet on the way. Three communicating vessels. This album is the result of a conversation with my musicians. Music is talking, raising your voice, voicing your opinion. Every day when I sit down at the piano is another quest for new words. For my own voice.' http://www.ramonvalle.nl
