The music

The music

From my childhood, the music to be present. My grandfather listened frequently classic music in the bio bio of beethoven radio, he also listened "flamenco" and playing castañuelas. My mother always listened romantic music in the radio, regrettably this music the any form stayed in my subconscious.
Years to later, my mother gift a acustic guitar. This guitar was the first approach to the music. In my puberty, I started to listen "Los prisioneros" and much later I listened "Los Tres", this band become of my favorite. At age seventeen i entered studying Contrabass with the motivate be like "Titae" (Contrabass player of my favorite band) But my study was focused on classical music. This expanded my taste for this particular style. Parallel to my study, I had a rock band called "Podría Ser", where was vocalist.
When graduates from high school, I decided to devote more professionally to music and went to study composition at the Universidad de Chile.
Although everyone always told me that they would starve, I did not care, music became a base of my life.

Chick Corea The Big Daddy, son of God.

Armando Corea was born in Chelsea, Massachusetts. His father, a jazz trumpet player who had led a Dixieland band in Boston in the 1930s and 1940s, introduced him to the piano at the age of four. Growing up surrounded by jazz music, he was influenced at an early age by bebop and stars such as Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker. (The Big Daddy)
Corea developed his piano skills by exploring music on his own. A notable influence was concert pianist Salvatore Sullo, from whom Corea started taking lessons at age eight and who introduced him to classical music, helping spark his interest in musical composition. (De aquí en adelante se pudrió todo)

It was a day while playing in a bar that appeared legend Miles Davis and invited him to join his band of jazz fussion. He has composed several jazz standards: Spain, La Fiesta, Armandos Rhumba (my favorite) and Windows.There are many things that catch my attention of Chick Corea. One of the most strikes me is his creative ability. Since I participated with Miles Davis, he has not stopped creating music. As of 76 he has not stopped making records until today. His musical language seems inexhaustible.
I share something with Chick Corea, his admiration for Mozart. Because this guy not only plays jazz, also plays classical music. Has an album called "Mozart Sessions" arranged by Mozart brought the language of jazz. Also recorded three concertos for piano and orchestra. Not any jazzy can do that. (Get down of The Pony)

If there is a god, it must be Bach and if there is a Jesus must be Mozart, and I'm sure Chick Corea is the reincarnation of Mozart only this time ventured into jazz instead of classical.

Phothographs

This photo may be a little self-referential. But it is very important to me for their lot.

This photo was taken in December 2014 by a fellow career named  Felipe Castro, better known as "El choclo" in "Thelonius" bar located in Santiago within the Bellavista neighborhood.
In this picture you can see a part of the big band of the University of Chile in which he participated as a pianist and arranger. This orchestra was born the same year and is led by Professor Carl Hammond.
This photo is very important in manny ways to me. My study in music has been classical school, but apart from this, is also my passion for popular music and particularly in this case jazz.
When I began studying music it was right through the contrabass, with which to participate in child Concepción Orchestra. When I came to study in Santiago had to leave the orchestra and me away from that way of making music. The big band came into my life at a time when I needed and missed this way of making music.Another reason why I like this picture because it is the first time we played with the big band. It is also the first jazz orchestra that has existed in the music faculty of our university. (All who participated in this concert will be part of the history).Another reason was that at that concert premiered a work of mine. The first time I played in Thelonius and premiering a work for big band.
I like this photo because it is the beginning of something new, a new learning a new language and another form of seeing and feeling the music.
