A propósito del inmensurable placer inherente a la buena música, que mejor que escuchar esta pieza en la que Tony Oladipo Allen (“Tony Allen”) nos muestra lo que sucede cuando un percusionista hace de la batería una extensión de sus propias manos y, sus manos, una extensión de su propia alma musical y de su intuición rítmica al más profundo nivel.
Lo que evolucionó Tony desde su colaboración prematura con su connacional Nigeriano Fela Kuti (otro grandioso Músico) hasta su exploración jazzística, remata con la majestuosa interpretación de esta pieza autoría de William Hardman.
Nótese al inicio de la pieza el manejo único y magistral de los platillos, mostrando la misma intuición percusionista del mucho más joven y grandioso Gavin Harrison (KC y TPT). Su técnica impecable y su intuición dictan el desahogo del resto de la pieza, a pesar de ser de autoría ajena.
‘Amablemente’, así se siente “Politely”, el más que adecuado titulo de esta enorme pieza de jazz!
Stunningly beautiful. The artistry, the divine restraint, the ingenuity, the sheer massive musical intelligence. Rest in peace Mr Allen. "What comes from God, returns to Him".
Rest In Peace, Tony Allen. I heard this song for the first time this week. I like to explore all sorts of music. The first time I heard it, it resonated. It was an instantaneous love this song. Listed to it several times. The I saw the headline that Mr. Allen passed away.
I find this interesting. The pockets not bad and the rhythm is correct, however the feeling isn't jazz imo. This is basically emotional masterbation. When playing jazz music one should minimize emotion, for anything added to what is is too much. The time and pocket will be better when emotion is minimised. There's enough sorrow in the world without musicians creating more. "music washes away from the soul, the dust of every day life, and says to each one; ‘thou art now no longer in thine office, or in the barracks, or in thy workshop’." Berthold Auerbach.
Very beautiful
"Politely" is here subtlety and lucidity. Its development is organic and it articulates itself step by step. God bless Tony for this.
MAGNIFIQUE
magnificent
That has got to be the raddest sweater hoodie I've laid my eyes on yet!
Mr. Allen certainly has a way and always takes me there, where I want to go.

I have been listening to this song for over a year and I simply don't know, its a sad or happy song? it's so confusing, but amazing at the same time.
BTW, 18 people need to see a shrink.

La muerte no existe.
