Estive lá há horas atrás

Estive no Teatro Sá da Bandeira a assistir ao concerto dos The Cinematic Orchestra. Um grande concerto onde os músicos transpiravam complicidade e onde se sentiu aquele saborzinho a jam session lá mais para o final. O público puxou e eles voltaram uma vez, o público continuou a puxar e eles voltaram novamente. Viu-se que eles estavam com o público e o público com eles, também numa onda de cumplicidade. Foram quase duas horas de concerto que souberam a pouco. E para quem ainda não sabe, fica aqui via wikipédia o seguinte:

"The Cinematic Orchestra is a British-based jazz and electronic outfit, created in the late 1990s by Jason Swinscoe. The band is signed to Ninja Tune independent record label. In addition to Swinscoe, the band includes PC (former DJ Food member Patrick Carpenter) on turntables, Luke Flowers (drums), Tom Chant (Saxophone), Nick Ramm (piano), Stuart McCallum (guitar) and Phil France (double bass). Former members include Jamie Coleman (trumpet), T. Daniel Howard (drums), and Alex James (piano). The most recent addition to the band is Mancunian guitarist Stuart McCallum.

The Cinematic Orchestra's sound, in both live and studio contexts, employs a live band which improvises along with a turntablist and electronic elements such as samples provided by Swinscoe. In their studio releases Swinscoe will often remix the live source material to produce a finished product that is a seamless combination of live jazz improvisation with electronica, such that it is difficult to tell where the improvisation ends and the production begins."
