EL
ECO: Modern South Ameriacn Jazz |
|
|
El Eco comes out of the heart of South
America. The jazz ensemble, led by drummer and composer
Guillermo Nojechowicz, combines the sweet swaying tempos of
Brazil with the darker themes and complex rhythms of
Argentina and Uruguay. This is strikingly original music,
delivered with strong vocals, percussive drive and, at times,
orchestral sweep. El Eco gives us music that fuses memory with
possibility.
El Eco has shared the stage with major
jazz artists like Tito Puente, Stanley Turrentine, Tania
Maria, and Gato Barbieri. The group has also performed at the
Montreal Jazz Festival, the Blue Note in New York City, the
Boston Globe Jazz Festival, and throughout the East Coast.
Earlier this year the band released the CD "Two
Worlds."
El Eco has also influenced the shape and
sound of the Latin jazz scene in Boston, according to Bob
Blumenthal of The Boston Globe, who has described the group as
"the seedbed " of many of Boston 's current Latin jazz
bands. El Eco's lineup includes some of the most
talented and experienced artists in the Boston area,
including:
Guillermo Nojechowicz (drums, band
leader) from Buenos Aires, Argentina, has performed with
Claudio Roditi (Paquito D'Rivera) at the Blue Note in New York
City. He recently played at Symphony Hall with John
Faddis, and has also played with trumpeter Tiger Okoshi, John
Lee (Dizzy Gillespie), Lazlo Gardony, Danilo Perez, Carly
Simon, Claudio Ragazzi, among others.
Mr.Nojechowicz is a composer, arranger, studio producer
and percussionist for theater, TV, film and dance. A Fulbright
Foundation Grant recipient, he studied at the National
Conservatory of Music Lopez Buchardo (Argentina) and at the
Berklee College of Music.
Kim Nazarian (vocals)
is a founding member of New York Voices. She is featured on
the Grammy nominated CD "Brazilian Landscapes. She has also
performed with the Pittsburg Ballet Company.
Helio
Alves (keyboards), from São Paulo, Brazil, studied at
Berkee College of Music. He has performed with Claudio Roditi,
Paquito Riviera, and Gato Barbieri, among others. He
released a CD on Reservoir Records, and is featured on Yo
Yo Ma's new Brazilian CD.
Fernando Huergo (bass)
teaches bass at Berklee College of Music. He has played with
Dave Kikoski (Roy Haynes), as well as Danilo Perez, Bob Moses,
Tommy Harrel, and Tom Campbell.
Dino Govoni
(tenor and soprano sax) teaches at Berklee College of
Music, and has studied with Joe Viola and George Garzone. He
has performed with Randy Brecker, Robben Ford, and George
Garzone as well as the Boston Pops Orchestra.
In
addition, the Nov. 26 show at the Regattabar will include
special guest trombone player Jay Ashby, who
also plays
