Can You Fake A Abortion
One after another, the stories never failed to appear leaning out between each of the keys, writing stories that were invisible in that booklet, whose endless sheets are still today a reference point, taking as a leading figure of the skinny gold, Agustín Lara, pen and jarocho sound that accompanied so many loves, and stories. All this was played that old piano Sauter, where the left hand which was handled José Natalio swordsman in his final match with skill, with nuances and cadences Caribbean, and his right hand was pure precision and force, releasing fine complex chords and melodies on each key carving their unique stories.
Sensitivity his way from those encounters and stories full of sounds, the voices of Pedro Vargas, Tona La Negra and Juan Arvizu were frequently invited to these gatherings where they were forming all. However, those meetings in my grandfather's house had also its nuances Venezuelans. Antonio Lauro, Antonio Carrillo, Pablo Canela and Laudelino Mejías, among others, emerged as a benchmark in the landscapes that José Natalio etched on his piano for beginning the thing there.
With the passage of time, references were appearing from different corners of the globe, via Lorenzo, the old man, whose tastes ranged from colorful best known rancheras to boleros to Tito Rodriguez. Bridge, meanwhile, would come later. All this represented - and still does - a fabulous flask where different sounds were mixed uniformly, slowly, the heat of tropical sun, cooked in coconut water, allowing each of them could exist without impeding other in perfect coexistence. Rhythms arrival ticket had been doing these, appearing in all its glory, spilling secrets and flavors that came to him that special touch, the secret of the chef, the skill that was needed.
Of those tireless hands caressing black and white keys generously received the baton in the form of witness, to stay in this relentless journey in this sort of discovery of different sounds that lull my ears every time, every time I am invited to follow traveling without a passport or visa, where the labels are left behind, a sign of the universality of sound. All thanks to José Natalio, and the old piano Sauter.

Normal Temperature 6 Week Old Baby
The atmosphere looked unbeatable all - or nearly all - which had to be and were either sitting or standing, as was to enjoy a night promising jazz, a lot. The actors or, rather, that reveal the character, music, and were in position start drawing sounds with the complicity of the air, ringing of the strings or the incessant tapping of the mallets on the drums and cymbals.
Pablo Gil
With the flight of the first notes, Pablo Gil showed us their latest production entitled Suka - Live Jazz where purported to show the atmosphere created in Caracas, where was this live recording. However, this time the place chosen to open the way for expressiveness, virtuosity, talent and sensitivity was not exactly Suka, but the mythical Oh Que Bueno!, Traditional site of the city of Valencia, Carabobo state capital city in Venezuela, a sort of refuge where jazz and musical expressions iotras has managed to secure space for some years.
Robert Koch
energy emanating from the fiber of each musician was taking up space, and the music was awesome, arrogant, thick and mix with the magic large audience that was cited, and all power was made possible by the chemistry between musicians and audience, sufficient reason to reach heights never achieved.
many musical virtues arose from those responsible for taking flight. One by one, and together, showed their skills and what they can deliver when it comes to making good music. Pablo Gil air distilled in pot stills to offer high volume, with notes vaporized coming up like lights and made this kind of mix of jazz, funk and rock emerged alive own. Andrés Briceño unsurpassed, always with the humility that characterizes him, gave us good overtones of what a drummer should be: energetic, creative, full of all impeccably maintained virtuosity years in charge of drums. Carmelo Medina, the patio, wore their best clothes as a guitarist, always at your level - tall and solid - as one of the best exponents of the six strings in our country. Roberto Koch, tell apart, provides the security, skill, expertise and elegance to the moment you press the strings of his electric bass, highlighting why it is applied to many of the musical works in the country.
Andrés Briceño
An unforgettable night, with lots of lights from the union of jazz, funk and rock provided by 4 excellent musicians who gave their best, amalgamated as a single unit, but without losing the sense that only jazz available. Bravo for them.
