Jazz sound for the most discerning palates, not disappoint the "experiments" of Passport
Passport
"Le Querce Jazz" – Fifth Edition
Country Club "Le Querce" – Sarrottino (Catanzaro, Italy)
03/09/2011
Four characters from large individual technique performed Wednesday in the third round of "Le Querce Jazz" at the country club "Le Querce" by Sarrottino. Pietro Tonolo, Joe Chambers, Jorge Rossy, and Arnie Somogyi, Passport, can be considered a multinational, a jazz supergroup, whereas collaborations that individually have the four musicians. Names such as Gil Evans, Steve Lacy, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Bobby Hutcherson, Brad Mehldau, have left their mark in their careers.
The Passport is a particular ensemble, based on the interchanges between Chambers and Rossy, divide the battery and play respectively the vibraphone and the piano. Leader and gregarious whilst at the same time, always with the humility of musicians of great thickness, never over the top. Jorge Rossy, proves to have two different souls in the approach to his instrument, almost shy piano becomes more whimsical and impressive when taking in hand the sticks and sit behind the drums.
Conversely, Joe Chambers towers in his imposing stature, his enormous fascination of jazz icon. On his way to read and interpret the jazz is always discreet and never intrusive, precisely these qualities lead him to be an excellent drummer and vibraphonist. To be convinced of this versatility uncommon is enough to listen to the gentle "Ruth", composed by him. But it's all the concert to be a journey through the music, in which no sound is not overlooked. A successful experiment of making music without unnecessary phrases or superb technicalities.
The presence of Tonolo is as important as crucial to the melodic role that occupies. An example is the initial "Esteem", a song by Steve Lacy, who begins as if sax was seeking the right tone and then fill in a surreal dimension.Intense "Rio", composed by Wayne Shorter, "This is new", by Kurt Weill, "Not so easy", by the same Rossy and spirited bis "JJ" written by Arnie Somogyi.
"Le Querce", Jazz artistic director Giampiero Ferro, exciting performance will last on 31 March at the country club "Le Querce". Will Scott Hamilton, currently one of the most illustrious names in contemporary jazz, to vibrate his tenor sax and the hearts of his fans.

Scott Mead - Zen and the Art of Commerce
The idea that an individual can excel in several fields, or have several careers, is something of an anomaly. The ‘Renaissance Man' tag is the stuff of yore, and perhaps we, in our modernity, don't have the inner quietude or discipline to make such quantum leaps. After all, we live in an age where judging an individual's worth is relegated to armchair deliberations in front of Pop Idol (Warhol was right, except the fifteen minutes now seems an eternity). So, it's always impressive when someone like Gordon Ramsay is able to juggle Michelin stars, restaurant openings, being a father, running marathons, and finding time to yell at hapless chef's on his TV shows. When does the man sleep? I'd imagine he doesn't, and that's one of the key ingredients to his success, although there always seems to be something more than just a tireless work ethic that creates successful individuals. Trying to find out what that Zen-like ‘something' is always fascinating – and defining success is equally elusive, and can't be measured only in financial terms.
Scott Mead made his initial mark in the cut-throat world of investment banking and climbed the ranks in Goldman Sachs, where, in under a decade, he became a partner and later a managing director. It's often the case that the business world doesn't celebrate its leading players – outside of the cloistered confines of The Wall Street Journal or Fortune Magazine – and it rarely recognizes that there must be a drive that propels its successful leaders, more than just the desire to make money; like any profession, those that excel must accept the challenges and demands, both of which can be tremendous.
Mead is indeed a well known player in the financial services arena, so much so that he has even had the adjective ‘legendary' used in the press to describe his pièce de résistance – the Vodafone acquisition of German company, Mannesmann; a project headed by him in 2000, and described by the BBC as ‘the largest corporate merger in history' creating a combined value of £112bn and an estimated 42 million customers. Besides being the biggest, it was also one of the most complex and contested acquisition deals ever. Although this is the most well known example, Mead was, during his time at Goldman Sachs, also responsible for completing transactions worth over $500 billion.
The above is certainly one measure of success for sure, but Only One facet of an interesting and varied career. Besides continuing to work in the financial sector with early stage investments, Mead has recently returned to photography, which he pursued with a great passion from his early years. Having been raised in the U.S., he was able to work under the tutelage of such legendary photographers as William Eggleston and Emmet Gowin, who, like Mead, is known for using a large format camera with a smaller lens, giving the photograph a unique circular field. And after the recent rediscovery of many negatives, prints and old large format cameras from his time at university in the 1970's, Mead has just had his first solo show for over thirty years at the well known Hamiltons Gallery in central London.
The collection of photographs were taken after many hours devoted to studying the landscape of New England, and trying to capture the feel and spirit of the environment; the same area of the country that once so enchanted Henry David Thoreau. And he has already had two of his photographs shortlisted for the Royal Academy 2010 Summer Exhibition. Although this recent show entitled "Looking Back" is work from Mead's past, he always retained his ability to "see", even while not actively photographing during his years at Goldman Sachs. In the past year or so he has begun actively taking pictures and hopes to exhibit these and some additional work from the past in the next year.
There are only so many hours in the day, and to find the drive and determination to pursue and excel at very different disciplines is inspiring. The same motivation that drives someone to be successful in business also inspires one to see through a lens to try and capture the rational order of things, or to give form to the unknown; everyone has infinite capabilities, but harnessing and refining them takes craft, work and above all, desire.
