JAZZIBAO for solo guitar
by Thierry Tisserand"A few months ago I extolled the virtues of
Suite Vagabonde by the same composer and publisher, so I was
delighted to see this latest work of his find its way to my
letterbox.I am glad to say I was not disappointed! It begins with a
Prelude marked Nostalgico, which immediately is slow and sexy and
very jazz-influenced in its harmonies. It is marked Quasi
improvvisando and that is exactly how it sounds. At
48-crotchets-a-minute it is not too difficult but has enough
semiquavers in it to make it sound like something of a workout for
the player, which it isn't; it is moderately difficult only. The
concluding Samba isn't so easy. Marked Sempre ritmico, it is a
full, catchy movement with loads of offbeat rhythms and accents
destined to catch out the unwary player. If is so well written
however that everything does eventually fall beautifully under the
fingers when you have got to grip with its complexities.
