A One-Way Street<\/span><\/h2>\n

While walking through the field of El Sosiego, thinking about the next Festival that would take place in the first week of 2020, I felt the emotion of knowing that, once more, a contingent of the greatest jazz talents would be arriving in Punta Ballena, a sight almost impossible to see in this part of the world. And suddenly, I was struck by the amazement of the passing of time: our 20<\/span>th Festival (a number we never thought we would reach when we began in 1996) was now in the past and the 25<\/span>th \u2013 a quarter a century! \u2013 is coming up, slowly but surely. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

As previously mentioned in other opening letters of this festival, addressed to loyal attendees as well as newcomers to the International Jazz Festival of Punta del Este, <\/i>its cultural purpose \u2013 one that pays homage to this invisible art that is music \u2013 constitutes an essential part of my own existence, as well as one of my greatest satisfactions in life: more than anything, to have had the privilege to present it. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Naturally, there are many rational arguments (mostly based on material issues) that put into doubt the pertinence of continuing to present the Festival, including reasons originating from box-office numbers like those that have plagued the majority of other renowned jazz festivals of the world. But no. Consequently, a long time ago we undertook this journey with the determination to continue in a direction that would allow us to feel satisfied with ourselves.
It is not in vain that this Festival has earned its reputation with elite jazz musicians and specialized press. From there we have been traveling on a one-way street; that is to say, there is no turning back now. Among other things, we want to offer you the best of jazz music, which originated more than a century ago and is a universal language that will undoubtedly survive and will be honored by future generations, not only for its intrinsic quality but rather as a symbol of peace and unity among men.<\/span><\/p>\n

Festival Internacional de Jazz <\/span>de Punta del Este, 2019<\/span><\/h3>\n

Estando en Europa y viendo que hay un festival de jazz (pero de jazz puro, sin concesiones) en un pa\u00eds tan lejano como Uruguay, \u00a1parece algo imposible! Es que, en realidad, comparando con el Festival Internacional de Jazz de Punta del Este, no existe hoy en d\u00eda un festival en el Viejo Mundo que se le iguale en calidad y gusto, ni siquiera entre las ofertas hist\u00f3ricas. Un festival que nos da lecciones de lo que es un festival de Jazz, es decir que no se deja llevar por las facilidades del \u00e9xito comercial, incorporando m\u00fasica que no es Jazz. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo es posible? <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Solamente por la pasi\u00f3n de un gran se\u00f1or de inmensos conocimientos acerca del jazz: Francisco Yobino, creador, productor y director general del festival desde hace 22 a\u00f1os. Con todas las dificultades financieras, art\u00edsticas y t\u00e9cnicas que implica organizar un festival de m\u00fasica, Francisco ha seguido su pasi\u00f3n a\u00f1o tras a\u00f1o, presentando lo mejor de la m\u00fasica de jazz en un cuadro \u00fanico, encantador para el p\u00fablico y los m\u00fasicos invitados. Aun teniendo en consideraci\u00f3n lo costoso de los transportes a Punta del Este en un periodo opuesto a las giras de los veranos norteamericanos y europeos, Francisco nunca fall\u00f3 en traer los mejores int\u00e9rpretes de nuestro lenguaje musical. Y lo bonito es que cuando se estudia la historia de los m\u00fasicos que tocaron en este lugar, se constata que muchos han vuelto varias veces, lo que demuestra el placer que tienen en regresar a este sitio m\u00e1gico. <\/span><\/p>\n

Otra cosa que quisiera subrayar, porque es \u00fanica y muestra el amor de Francisco para esta m\u00fasica, es que generalmente un organizador y fundador de un festival de jazz escoge \u00e9l mismo a los artistas, ya que es parte de sus prerrogativas. Sin embargo Francisco, con humildad, ofrece la direcci\u00f3n musical al grandioso Paquito D\u2019Rivera, y se enorgullece por eso. \u00a1Pocos son en este campo capaces de una actitud as\u00ed para tener lo mejor de la m\u00fasica! <\/span><\/p>\n

Para este festival de 2019, Francisco ha reunido un equipo formidable. Entre ellos a David Feldman (seguramente lo mejor del piano de Brasil), el incre\u00edble Al Foster, que invita nada menos que a Chris Potter (uno de los grandes saxos del momento), y dos magos del sonido, Diego Urcola y Grant Stewart. Tambi\u00e9n estar\u00e1n Gary Smulyan (\u00a1M\u00edster Bar\u00edtono!), a quien grab\u00e9 en Paris el a\u00f1o pasado, y el pianista preferido de Oscar Peterson, Benny Green, para luego terminar en la apoteosis garantizada de Paquito D\u2019Rivera. <\/span><\/p>\n

El jazz es una m\u00fasica simple: ritmo, melod\u00eda y armon\u00eda. Pero al mismo tiempo, de mucha variedad, y esto es lo que se escuchar\u00e1 en la FINCA EL SOSIEGO de Punta Ballena, Punta del Este. Cuatro d\u00edas de swing, cuatro d\u00edas de magnifica m\u00fasica, cuatro d\u00edas de jazz puro… \u00a1y mucho m\u00e1s!<\/span><\/p>\n

International Jazz <\/span>Festival of Punta del Este, 2019<\/span><\/h3>\n

Being in Europe and seeing that there is a Jazz Festival, but of pure jazz without compromises of this art, in a country as far as Uruguay, it seems impossible! In Punta del Este, a festival that today does not exist of equal quality and taste in any of the historical offers of our music in our old continent. A festival that gives us lessons about what a Jazz festival should be, that is, it does not let go to the facilities of commercial success when presenting music that is not jazz. <\/span><\/p>\n

How is it possible? <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Only for the passion of a great lord of immense knowledge of jazz: Francisco Yobino, Creator, Producer and General Director of the festival for 22 years. With all the difficulties, financial, artistic, technical that represent to organize a music festival, Francisco followed his passion years after years, presenting the best of Jazz music in a unique and charming landscape for the public and the invited musicians. Being all the harder, because of Punta del Este, more expensive transports, period opposite to the tours of the American and European summer Festivals, Francisco never failed to bring the best interpreters of our language. <\/span><\/p>\n

And the beautiful thing is that when you study the history of the musicians who played in this event, many have returned severa! times demonstrating the pleasure they have in returning to this magical place. Another thing that I would like to emphasize, and because it is unique and that shows the love for this music of Francisco, is that usually an organizer, founder of a jazz festival chooses the artists themselves and these are his prerogatives. Francisco, with humility and rightly proud, offers the musical direction to whom more than the great Paquito D\u2019Rivera. Few in this field are capable of that devotion to have the best of music. <\/span><\/p>\n

For this 2019 festival, Francisco has put together a formidable team. With David Feldman (the best of piano in Brazil); the incredible Al Foster, who invites Chris Potter, one of the greatest saxophonists in the world; and the two sound magicians: Diego Urcola and Grant Stewart. Also Gary Smulyan (\u201cMister Bari\u201d), whom I recorded life in Paris last year; and Oscar Peterson\u2019s preferred pianist, Benny Green; to end up in a guaranteed apotheosis with Paquito D\u2019Rivera. Jazz is a simple music: rhythm, melody and harmony, but at the same time of a lot of variety and it is what you will have in FINCA EL SOSIEGO in Punta Ballena, Punta del Este: four days of Swing, four days of great music, four days of pure jazz … and much more!<\/span><\/p>\n

Jacques Muyal <\/strong>(Tanger, 1941) es una de las grandes personalidades del mundo de la producci\u00f3n y documentaci\u00f3n hist\u00f3rica del jazz. Ingeniero electr\u00f3nico de profesi\u00f3n, particip\u00f3 en el desarrollo de los famosos magnetofones Nagra, fue pionero de la digitalizaci\u00f3n de im\u00e1genes y fund\u00f3 en 1987 (junto a Norman Granz y Frank T\u00e9not) una de las primeras empresas en producir video-discos de jazz.<\/span><\/p>\n

Su pasi\u00f3n por el jazz comenz\u00f3 muy temprano, a trav\u00e9s de los programas del cr\u00edtico franc\u00e9s Andr\u00e9 Francis, quien hab\u00eda llegado a T\u00e1nger en 1955. Cuando al a\u00f1o siguiente Francis decidi\u00f3 volver a Par\u00eds, le ofreci\u00f3 al jovenc\u00edsimo Muyal la oportunidad de hacerse cargo del programa Le Club du Jazz, que realiz\u00f3 hasta 1959 en paralelo con sus estudios.<\/span>
En Par\u00eds, Muyal conoci\u00f3 a grandes m\u00fasicos que all\u00ed trabajaban, entre otros Barney Wilen, Sacha Distel, Bud Powell y Thelonious Monk. Pero sobre todo, lo marcaron ciertas amistades, como las que estableci\u00f3 con el famoso periodista y cr\u00edtico de jazz Frank T\u00e9not (que se convirti\u00f3 en su principal mentor), con Norman Granz (el productor de jazz m\u00e1s importante de la historia) y con Dizzy Gillespie, un m\u00fasico que revolucion\u00f3 la historia del g\u00e9nero y con el que tuvo una entra\u00f1able y estrecha relaci\u00f3n hasta el \u00faltimo d\u00eda.<\/span><\/p>\n

Desde su fundaci\u00f3n en 1967, Muyal estuvo muy vinculado al c\u00e9lebre Festival de Jazz de Montreux. As\u00ed, su contacto con los jazzistas de \u00e9lite fue permanente, convirti\u00e9ndose incluso en productor de algunos de ellos. Poco antes de morir, Norman Granz le entreg\u00f3 a Muyal su enorme colecci\u00f3n personal de grabaciones in\u00e9ditas (audio y video), que inclu\u00edan material de Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Carter, Charlie Parker y Dizzy Gillespie, entre otros.<\/span>
En 2017, se estren\u00f3 en la televisi\u00f3n suiza \u201cJazz, The Only Way Of Life\u201d, notable documental que repasa la extensa trayectoria de Jacques Muyal, un film que bien vale como merecido homenaje en vida.<\/span><\/p>\n
