RE: Buleria Video from Eduardo Trassiera (in reply to guitarbuddha)

quote:
Perhaps genuine improvisation is best home for this type of material and not a prearranged composition trying to sound improvised ? I am sure we all understand the difference between flamenco improv and jazz improv? In anycase, even in bulerias like Vicente's where it is all the old falsetas from the first album plus some new ones, the "improv" is more in the spur of the moment arrangement. It can come out logical and flowing, or disjointed, it depends. I have seen Paco REPEAT a falseta by accident, realize it and just stop and laugh in the middle. So it can go different ways, and that is the beauty and problem with improvisation. Point is, it is not wrong to do it in flamenco, and as a soloist or accompanist, being able to do it is important. Not everyone has to like it. As the music gets more sophisticated, evolving in the "modern" direction, sure plenty of folks are not going to like it or understand it or accept it. Not the reason to go back and play the same old stuff the same way just to make em happy. But if he does, that is fine too so long as that is what the artists WANTS to do. It is his choice. The audience does not have to like it. I have heard aficionados saying a couple years ago "i refuse to go to Paco's concert because it is the same old thing I saw 10 years ago". THen he comes with all NEW music and people go " what is THAT? I wish he would play the old stuff..." etc etc. Anyway, it is a pointless circular arguement. I just think when players are good, they are good. If you don't like it fine, but you can at least respect what they do even if you would do it different. And sure there are times that good players play like crap. Can we every forgive them? Personally, I don't forgive artists that "hold back" what they have for the sake of whatever, be it money, or commercialism, or what they think is "good taste". Life is too short to hold back what you have to show.
