Oggi abbiamo un altro paio di cosette interessanti da postare ;) Seguiteci perchè sono il tipo di post che troverete solo su questa pagina :) Cominciamo con larticolo di un blog dedicato alla scena jazz, in cui la giovane artista Esperanza Spalding viene definita la Beyoncé del jazz e si spiega perchè. Così facendo, si dicono anche delle cose sulla musica e sul personaggio di Beyoncé. E soprattutto notevole che ad aver scritto questarticolo sia stato, appunto, un conoscitore e amante del jazz. Ecco la parte dellarticolo in cui si individuano i punti di contatto tra la musica di Esperanza e quella di Beyoncé: 2. Musical Similarities Although gender and heritage play no major part in my comparison of these two artists, and I deplore any thought that this artistic resemblance goes no deeper than that, it is important to note that background, cultural or biological, can have a certain bearing on a musicians output. Being that both artists are female Americans with strong family links to African American society, it could be argued that the inherent audible homology is bought about due to similarities in the music that they were exposed to growing up, but that is speculation. Instead it is more conclusive to analyse their music aesthetically. Harmonically, for example, Beyonces later albums seem to have moved away from a safer generic R&B sound and adopted a number of chordal dissonances and funk inspired grooves, also a prominent feature of Spaldings output. The combination of the aforementioned harmonic elements in addition to the pairs not dissimilar vocal approaches, provides a Different approach to the same goal type of connection between the two musically. Its as if theyre both aiming for the same album and are moving in parallel along two different paths to get to it.
