FINALIZA LA 42 EDICIÓN

Elvis Costello y Alain Toussaint cierran el Jazzaldia de Donostia

30/07/2007

Acabado el festival, los organizadores harán hoy balance de esta edición, la más larga al haberse añadido un día a los seis habituales para celebrar los 30 años del "Peine del Viento", de Eduardo Chillida.

Ayer llegó a su fin la 42 edición del Festival de Jazz de Donostia-San Sebastián, y lo hizo a lo grande, con Elvis Costello en su nueva aventura con Alain Toussaint, tras el viaje al recuerdo de Pedro Iturralde, que rindió homenaje a Donostia-San Sebastián con un largo y emotivo recital, después de tantos años de ausencia del festival.

En la actuación del británico Elvis Costello en la plaza de la Trinidad sonaron muchos de sus éxitos, como "Chelsie", y también algunos temas incluidos en el álbum que ha grabado con Toussaint, The river in reverse, como "Freedom for the Stallion", "Wonder woman" e "Internacional echo". Y también "Sharpest thorn", como himno propicio para el punto final y para dejar con ganas de más al público de la Trinidad, que reunió a dos generaciones para un mismo fin.

Mientras, el sábado (28 de julio), Wayne Shorter estuvo inconmensurable en su presentación europea con Imani Winds, que cerró un extraordinario concierto de Pat Metheny y Brad Mehldau en la que ha sido la velada más redonda de esta 42 edición.

El gran saxofonista estadounidense de 74 años volvió a destaparse en el Kursaal como continuo descubridor de nuevas formas de abordar el jazz, esta vez amigando su música con la del quinteto de viento Imani Winds, compuesto por Valerie Coleman, Toyin Spellman-Díaz. Marian Adam, Jeff Scott y Monica Ellis.

En la plaza de la Trinidad, por su parte, Metheny y Mehldau respondieron con un fantástico concierto a sus fieles seguidores, con temas como "All the things you are" y "Veracruz". Especialmente bella fue la interpretación de "Make peace", que tocó Metheny con la guitarra acústica.

Indeed so, and at 2.30 in the morning! Those crazy Spaniards.

Nice spelling of 'Chelsie' in the above review!

Here's the "official" announcement http://www.rtve.es/FRONT_SALA_PRENSA/?g ... 8cbf8a2081
Let's hope it's the complete show. I asked one of the TV guys in San Sebastian and he couldn't confirm that.

I'll be on holidays but I'll program my hard disk. Fingers crossed.

Unfortunately not. A close friend of the missus had the bizarre idea of getting married that evening so I missed the Cap Roig show and had to drive to San Sebastian the day after (half asleep and with too much Knockando in my veins).
I'm curious about the setlist, I hope someone will post it.

Since you put me down, it seems i've been very gloomy. You may laugh but pretty girls look right through me.

Animersion seems to be closed to new registrations just now so, could some kind soul send me an invitation or, move the show to a more accessible site (e.g. dime, pirate bay)?
Thanx.

Very late to the party, but this is a great concert video, currently seeding on Dime.

I epecially like the combination of Steve's noodling around on his keys while the horns are blasting their riffs. It looks like an interesting venue. Was anyone there? How were the acoustics? The crowd seems just okay.
