Maria Schneider & Larry Applebaum in Conversation Jazz artist Maria Schneider discusses her approach to the creative process and her collaboration with David Bowie in an interview with Larry Appelbaum. Recorded in conjunction with the world premiere of Schneider's Library of Congress commission "Data Lords," presented in association with the Reva and David Logan Foundation.

On the agenda were explorations of the Library’s treasure trove of scores and memorabilia, plus workshops for students and conversations with curators.

the weekend Pick of the Weekend from Concerts from the Library of Congress By content.govdelivery.com Published On :: Fri, 01 May 2020 08:00:22 -0500 May 1, 2020 MUSIC NEWS CONTACT US Chucho Valdés in Conversation On Saturday, October 16, 2019, Concerts from the Library of Congress hosted Afro-Cuban jazz master, Chucho Valdés. Founder and director of the legendary Cuban jazz band Irakere, winner of six GRAMMYs and four Latin GRAMMYs, Chucho Valdés is not just an authority in the jazz world, he is a living legend. This Pick of the Week features Chucho Valdés in conversation with Music Specialist, Claudia Morales. In this fun and intimate conversation, Chucho Valdés reacts to some treasures from our music collections that include music composed by his father, one of the most representative musicians in the history of Cuban music, pianist and composer, Bebo Valdés. He also reacts to a photo of him and the American drummer Max Roach from the Max Roach Papers housed in the Music Division. Chucho’s reaction to the materials was simply heartwarming. No one talks to Chucho Valdés without talking about Irakere. I had so many questions to ask, but I was primarily interested in learning about his experience with religious syncretism, the merging of two or more religions in a new belief, as an element of his music. Chucho told me about his exposure to Santeria through his grandfather and to the Catholic church through his grandmother, and how he mixed these elements with jazz and funk to create the Timba Cubana. We concluded the interview with the question: what would you say to the new generation of musicians? Chucho’s answer was the summary of the musician that he is; he mentioned discipline as the number one characteristic a musician must have. Discipline plus passion for music have spurred this now 79-year-old Afro-Cuban jazz master to continue his musical journey that includes writing an opera, touring around the globe with a robust calendar of performances, and now, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, connecting with his audience via online recitals on social media.
