Beschreibung
Boogie Basses is based on Boogie Concertino, originally scored for solo
double bass and string quartet, and newly arranged for solo double bass and
double bass quartet by David Heyes. The original version was composed in 2012
for the examinations of the Conservatoire a Rayonnement Regional of Reims. It
is an interesting and accessible introduction into the world of jazz, using
melodic cliches and rhythmic patterns, with a groovy feeling and a great
challenge for young bassists to play their first concertino accompanied by a
double bass quartet. A passage has been left open for improvisation for the
bassist with jazz skills and the opportunity to demonstrate chord changes of
the blues, pentatonic scales or any devices that would fit the style of
boogie. This passage also includes a 'written-out improvisation' for bassists
who prefer not to improvise. Boogie Concertino can be played with solo
double bass and double bass quartet or with larger forces. Boogie Basses was
premiered at Wells Cathedral School (Somerset, UK) on 29 September 2013 by a
massed bass orchestra, directed by David Heyes. The jazz soloists were Joe
Prindl and Jim Rintoul. Sebastien Beliah was born in 1979 and studied at
the CNSM in Paris (Jazz/Improvisation) and double bass with Jean-Christophe
Deleforge at the CRR in Auberviller-La Courneuvre. He divides a busy career
between performing (classical, contemporary, jazz), teaching and composing.
For 7 years he led the quartet 'Wark', which performed at many festivals
across France, and currently playes with the trio 'r.mutt' and 'Ensemble
Hodos'. Since 2006 Sebastien Beliah has taught double bass and improvisation
at the CRR in Reims and is also an active member of the Umlaut Records crew
in Paris.
