Выбивает дождь синкопы
За моим окном.
Сад не спит, ведь ставни хлопом
Разбудили дом.
.

Джаз в ночи: труба и ветер,
Прорыдала дверь.
На концерт возьму билетик, -
Не уснуть теперь.
.
Нотный стан в руках поэта
Милая игра.
Мне симфонию сонета
Дописать пора.
.

Овевает всю планету
Ритма ветерок
И осталась до рассвета
Только пара строк.
.

Я к стеклу придвину кресло, -
Сяду в свой вагон …
Гениального оркестра
Саунд – трек сведен.
.

Свинг в ночи: планета – скрипка, -
Женская натура.
Дух Гармонии с улыбкой
Правит партитуру.

А речь - и звуки музыки - сейчас пойдут о моём любимце. Джазовом музыканте-трубаче, виртуозе Chris Botti / Крисе Ботти.
.
Обожаемый музыкант! Любимая музыка. Как же здоровски, в любое время года: в морозы ли, в жару ли, или просто - прохладу ; в дождливый ли полумрак ( как сейчас) весенне-осенне-летний, заслушаться переливами волшебной, много-разносторонне звучащей - трубы!

Christopher Stephen Botti or Chris Botti (born October 12, 1962) is an American trumpeter and composer.
Coming to prominence in the mid-1990s, Botti established a reputation as a versatile musician, excelling in both jazz and pop music.
.
Born in Portland, Oregon and raised in Corvallis, Oregon, he spent two years of his childhood growing up in Italy. His earliest musical influence was his mother, a classically trained pianist and part-time piano teacher.He plays a Martin Committee Handcraft trumpet made in 1940, and uses a 3 silver plated mouthpiece from Bach made in 1926, having recently retired his 1920 3C Bach mouthpiece. He counts Miles Davis among his most significant influences.Botti attended Mount Hood Community College in Gresham, Oregon where he studied under Larry McVey whose renowned jazz program had come to be a regular stop for Stan Kenton and Mel Tormé when they were looking for new players. It was here he played alongside his friend, trombonist and future Academy Award nominated filmmaker, Todd Field.After leaving Mount Hood, Botti studied under David Baker and Bill Adam at Indiana University. Botti also studied with Fred Sautter, a Claude Gordon student.
.
CareerTo date, Botti has released ten solo albums. His first few releases could safely be classified as smooth jazz, though critic Alex Henderson argues that Botti's music was a cut above much of the genre; reviewing his 1999 album, Slowing Down the World, Henderson writes "it would be a major mistake to lump it in with the outright elevator muzak that Kenny G, Dave Koz, Najee, and Richard Elliot were known for ... Botti is capable of a lot more."

Though still featuring heavy contributions from pop music singers, Botti's more recent albums have found him exploring more traditional jazz territory, with lush orchestral arrangements earning comparisons to Gil Evans.Botti has also performed or recorded with artists such as Frank Sinatra, Andrea Bocelli, Sting, Dean Martin, Chaka Khan, Yo-Yo Ma, Jill Scott, Steven Tyler, Paul Buchanan, Josh Groban, Michael Bublé, Dave Koz, Jeff Lorber, David Torn, Roy Hargrove, Paul Simon, Rod Stewart, Clark Terry, Lee Ritenour, Renee Olstead, Burt Bacharach, Paula Cole, John Mayer, Jonatha Brooke and Brian Culbertson.Botti was also a member of Bruford Levin Upper Extremities, a more experimental, jazz fusion-oriented group. He composed the score for the 1996 film Caught.In 2005, Botti performed in the opening of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
.
Also in 2005 he performed several songs in a guest appearance on the daytime soap opera, The Young and the Restless. The episode aired on December 9, and Chris played himself performing at the wedding of the characters Michael and Lauren. He performed "Emmanuel" as the wedding processional song, which can be found as an extra song on the extended version of his album Italia. He also played "My One and Only Love" and "Someone to Watch Over Me" from the album To Love Again.In 2006, Billy Childs, Gil Goldstein & Heitor Pereira won the Grammy for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s): "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" (Chris Botti & Sting) from Botti's album To Love Again - The Duets.On September 25, 2007, Botti released his new album, Italia. The album places focus on Botti's Italian roots through such songs as "Ave Maria", "Venice", "Estatè", and the title track "Italia." In December 2007, it was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album.[edit] In mediaBotti was the leader of the house band on the nationally syndicated daytime talk show The Caroline Rhea Show (a replacement for The Rosie O'Donnell Show) for its only season in 2002-2003.
.
He was named one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People of 2004.

.
For several years, Botti also hosted a radio show called Chill with Chris Botti, that focused mainly on "chill" music, which is described as "smooth jazz with a touch of cool jazz." In 2007, saxophonist Mindi Abair took over the hosting duties, and the show, using the same format as before, is now called Chill with Mindi Abair.With the success of To Love Again, Botti hosted a special concert at the Wilshire Theatre in Los Angeles in December 2005 with many of the guest artists from the CD. It was recorded for airing on PBS in Spring 2006 as Chris Botti: Live with Orchestra and Special Guests, which also was released as a DVD.(c)

Американский трубач Крис Ботти американский джазовый трубач Крис Ботти (Chris Botti)."Трубач Крис Ботти ­­- искусный инструменталист, талантливый композитор и харизматичный исполнитель, создавший своеобразный авторский жанр, привлекающий внимание поклонников как современного джаза, так и популярной музыки.Свою последнюю программу, которая увидит свет в 2007 году, Крис Ботти создал, вдохновленный атмосферой Италии. Это импульсивная и чувственная музыка с широким диапазоном влияний - от классической оперы до Эннио Морриконе. Italia - блестящая демонстрация музыкальной гибкости и разносторонности Ботти и какисполнителя, и как композитора", - отмечают организаторы.Крис Ботти - выходец из Орегона, родившийся в Портленде. Он обратился к музыке под влиянием матери, классической пианистки и преподавателя фортепиано. "Я не могу сесть и что-то сыграть сходу, - говорит Крис, - но я знаю гармонию, и обычно сочиняю музыку за роялем, а не на трубе". Музыкальное образование он получил у выдающихся педагогов - Дэвида Фризена в Нортвесте, Дэйва Бейкера в Индиане и (в Нью-Йорке) у Вуди Шоу, одного из последних героев трубы старшего поколения.В студии и на концертах Крис Ботти работал среди прочих с такими видными композиторами и исполнителями, как Пол Саймон, Джонни Митчелл, Стинг и знаменитый кинокомпозитор Джон Барри. Как аккомпаниатор он появился на десятках альбомов, сборников, саундтреков.

Chris Botti & Shawn Colvin---All Would Envy
Words and music by Sting
.
.
Shawn Colvin (born January 10, 1956) is an American singer-songwriter and musician.
.

.

Colvin began working in the music scene in earnest in the late 1970s, first in Austin, Texas and then nationally. She moved to New York City in 1980, where she became involved with the Fast Folk cooperative in Greenwich Village......(c)
.
Шон Колвин (Shawn Colvin, род. 10 января, 1956, Вермиллион, Южная Дакота, США) - современная американская певица, автор-исполнитель в жанре фолк-музыки. Трижды лауреат премии Грэмми (1991, дважды в 1998Выросла в городке Карбондейл в Иллинойсе, училась в местном университете, с 15 лет на любительской сцене, подражала Джони Митчелл. С конца 1970-х выступала на профессиональной сцене (продюсер Джон Левенталь), но признания не добилась. Свидетельства её голоса тех лет - подпевки в записях Сьюзен Вега (Luka) и Мэри Карпентер (The Hard Way). Позже, в 1990-е, и Вега, и Карпентер принимали участие в записях сольных альбомов Колвин.Первый сольный альбом Шон Колвин, Steady On (1991), был хорошо встречен критикой и получил Грэмми по классу фолк-музыки, но продавался слабо (как и последующие Fat City и Сover Girl).

.

Коммерческий успех пришёл только в октябре 1996 года, в сорок лет, с выпуском платинового А Few Small Repairs. Альбом и песня Sunny Came Home взяли по Грэмми, а само награждение закончилось скандалом из-за вмешательства рэппера Ol' Dirty Bastard'a. Последующие записи, вплоть до последнего альбома, These Four Walls, подобного успеха уже не принесли.Шон Колвин живёт в Остине и эпизодически выступает на местной сцене, но отказалась от масштабных концертных проектов. На телевидении появляется эпизодически, дважды озвучивала роль Рейчел Джонс в сериале Симпсоны,

All Would Envy.

Old enough to be her dad

But the young men were just mad they nursed their grievances
.

.
And she was flattered by his charm

It wouldn't do her any harm they all had their chances
.

.
He sent her flowers and limousines
She was treated like a queen

Anything she ever wanted

It was no problem for a man like him
.

.
And everyone expected soon

That she could ask him for the moon?
.

.
If she would wear his ring
.

.
Knowing glances from his friends

In the homes at the weekends of high society
.

.
But he didn't give a damn

He never felt more like a man
.

.
And all the time the clock was ticking

And all would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife
.

.
Yes, all would envy
.

.
In a house upon a hill

She was there with time to kill

She lived a life she'd only dreamed
.

.
The life was never what it seemed

To all her friends that she d ignored?

She denied she was bored

She had no time for dancing, no time for dancing
.

.
But the clock upon the wall?

That was ticking in the hall

Always reminded her

That life was going on as well

But she was happy and she would swear she wouldn't change a thing
.
And all would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife

Yes, all would envy
.

.
Now it's 5 o'clock am

She must have spent the night again with that old friend of hers

She loves to dance

She's missing more and more these days

But he's still stuck in his old ways

Perhaps she needs a little more romance

But the clock upon the wall is still ticking in the hall

She must be home soon soon

Where a younger man would weep

He takes a pill and goes to sleep
.

.
Now who would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife

Who would envy?

Who would envy?

Â?
.
Вот такая вот - печальная, романтишная песенная баллада ... о ---> older man and his beautiful young wife....

Ну, кто, кто - скажите, не будет завидовать старому мужу? Ему - с его прелестной молодой женой? A?

*грустно-ироничный смайл*

И к ней , этой грустной, неизбывной джазово-песенной исповеди - должным образом - совершенно точно подходят живописные полотна: нежные лики юных Богинь - американского художника Charles J. Dwyer.



Charles J. Dwyer, Jr. was born in 1961. A Wisconsin native, Dwyer graduated from the Milwaukee School of Art, where he studied fine arts, painting and printmaking. Dwyer has shown his work in a variety of galleries across the U.S.A. In the Spring of 1992 the artist's growing reputation was underlined when his first New York exhibition sold out. Those who view Dwyer's art are captivated by the combination of the female form with autobiographical elements or hidden images. In many of the works, Dwyer combines hand-written script with the images. Working in mixed media for both his limited edition prints and unique works of art, the artist builds up a tactile surface. Style and technique enhance each other to present a romantic form of his very personal expressionism. Commissioned to create the official poster for Chicago's ARTEXPO '93 Dwyer has continued to explore our contemporary mores and milieu with his painting entitled The Three Graces of Chicago. Reinterpreting a classical theme, the artist created an image that captured the dynamics and history of the city. In addition to his own art, Dwyer has been involved with a decorative arts and restoration studio, where he recreates murals in various landmark buildings. His real love, however, remains his own work. As the artist once noted, I desire to create an art that is, at once visually exciting and thought-provoking.(c)

В корнете простом

живёт божество

не только живёт, но играет.

Внезапно для нас

является джаз

предместьем прекрасного рая.
