Par GARDNER JEFF. Nous savons que Debussy, quand on lui demandait quel système harmonique il suivait pour créer ses oeuvres, répondait : 'Mon bon plaisir'. Les pièces de ce recueil sont basées sur une libre variation de motifs. Si certaines des techniques utilisées - renversement, rétrogradation, renversement rétrograde - sont associées à la musique sérielle ou dodécaphonique, ces pièces ne sont absolument pas sérielles dans un sens strict. Elles ne sont pas non plus tonales ou atonales. J'ai cherché un langage qui naît de la liberté d'expression, plutôt que de la contrainte de règles et de paramètres d'écriture. Certaines pièces sont un écho rythmique au jazz ou au blues, d'autres une couleur de 20e siècle contemporain / classique (mais qu'est-ce que le contemporain ? Quelle année ? Pour qui ?). Tempo, dynamique, articulation sont laissés à la libre appréciation de l'interprète. J'espère que ces jeux, ces voyages musicaux vous conduiront vers des terres inconnues. Jeff Gardner Saquarema, Rio de Janeiro Novembre 2009 Je prends un très grand plaisir à jouer avec ces tournures mélodiques en forme d'études ! La grande liberté 'd'habillage' qu'elles suscitent : dynamique et traitement du son, articulation et phrasé, ornementation... construit autant la maîtrise instrumentale que la créativité musicale. A l'instar des Suites ou Partite de J.S. Bach, des Fantaisies de Telemann ou des improvisations inspirées de Steve Lacy, elles peuvent donner des ailes à l'apprenti improvisateur qui les fera 'tourner' dans ses doigts et dans sa mémoire. La fantaisie ainsi éveillée révèlera alors à chacun ses propres créations mélodiques ! Claude Delangle Natif de New York, Jeff Gardner a étudié le piano classique avec Ruth Shontal et Ivan Tcherepnin, le piano jazz avec Hall Overton, Jaki Byard, John Lewis, Don Friedman, et Charles Banacos, et l'harmonie avec Nadia Boulanger. II enchaîne tournées et festivals avec des artistes tels que Kenny Wheeler, Nelson Veras, Norma Winstone, Steve Lacy, Freddie Hubbard, Paulo Moura, Eddie Harris, Gary Peacock, Bob Sheppard, Toninho Horta, Ndugu Chancler, Ran McClure, Lars Daniellson, André Ceccarelli, Hein van de Geyn, Alfredo Rodriguez, Marcia Maria, Karim Ziad, Flavio Boltro, Charlie Mariano, et le quatuor de pianos avec Jaki Byard, Martial Solal, et Paul Bley. Jeff a un total de seize CD's en tant que leader. Citons Continuum, avec Eddie Gomez et Bill Hart, Noches Habaneras, enregistré à La Havane avec Miguel 'Anga' Diaz, Julio Barreto, Felipe Cabrera, Orlando 'Maraca' Valle, et Diego Valdes, The Music of Chance, inspiré par les écrits de Paul Auster avec comme invités Rick Margitza et Ingrid Jensen, Alchemy, en duo avec Gary Peacock, Street Angels, Sky Dance avec Gilberto Gil, et Abraços avec Carlos Balla et Alberto Continentino (Terramar), tous les trois enregistrés à Rio.
