 BAGG*FISH Strikes back! 

This unique improv-noise power duo featuring Michael Fischer on tenor sax and feedback -and your truly on drums-  will play for this tour with a special guest: Vinicius Cajado on double bass.

We've been invited to play this year's edition of ArtActs Festival in St Johann (A) on Sept. 4th , at Fluc in Vienna on Sept. 8th and at Zajkert | Noice Garden Museum of Modern and Contemporary Arts in Debrecen (H) on Sept. 10th.

---------------∞¬∞-----------------

My trio Badenhorst/Baggiani/Celano have just recorded new material with a very special guest: Wolfert Brederode on piano.

please check these two beautiful videos of the recording session:

 

 

The material will come out April 2021 under Challenge Records.

We would like to thank the Bimhuis and Sena foundation for supporting this joint-venture!

"The amalgam of styles and the genre-bending are characteristic of this group of musicians. Musical categories are abandoned and boundaries overruled.

Surprisingly, pianist Wolfert Brederode has been added to the trio.

This is remarkable ... the ECM artist is a breed improviser who holds up tightly within this remarkable combo. His contributions are adventurous and effective "

HUMANES

..."This is not the usual way for latin jazz, I rather hear classical latinamerican styles such as tango and bolero mixed with contemporary and improvised music... a good example of the way in which improvisation brings new life into a tradition.

the music is greatly enriched by all these influences…  And Méndez is a beauty of a singer” 

Live @ Pletterij || Ben Taffijn - DraaiOmJeOren - Aug 2020

Working against all odds in these pandemic times we succeed to make these videos, please check them out.

 

Fuensanta Méndez (México): vocals & double bass

Guillermo Celano (Arg/NL): guitar

Marc Baggiani (Arg): drums

Where intuition and awareness play together, voices, drums, and strings mingle in a freedom dance.

Fresh, riotous, rooted, sometimes abstract, sometimes avant-garde or wacky, always beating.

Argentinian rhythms, Mexican boleros and originals seasoned with soundscapes, poetry, absurdism, improvisation and a non-challant postmodern approach.

+ last year Antimufa released a new album in a full house at Bimhuis.

The new album Grillos featuring Martín Sued on bandoneon got two more reviews:

"Antimufa brings us an Argentinian narrative in nine unique stories of contemporary fairy tales and pure passion. 

Grillos is a source of inspiration."

“…splendid melodies and beautiful interplay... a wonderful example of the relationship between Latin American tradition and jazz…”

BBC | Benitez-Baggiani-Celano

"Excellent music on this remarkable, delicate work with no empty words. 

A journey beyond talent through one of those albums that reward with unveiled surprises every new listening. 

Where is our home? BBC Trio wonders. They answered it themselves. In the music my friends… In the music."

Above all thanks to Guillermo and Joachim for the music!!

Coming September we will get in the studio again to record new material with a special guest on piano: Wolfert Brederode.

This collaboration had already being on stage last year in Paradox, Tilburg, fortunately we've got a sharp review of that concert:

"The amalgam of styles and the genre-bending are characteristic of this group of musicians. Musical categories are abandoned and boundaries overruled.

“…refined soundscapes treated in such a way that a delicious, almost non-abstract happiness remains.” Jazzism ****1/2 Ken Vos #01- 2019

---------------------

“Lili & Marleen is a beautiful continuation of a discography that these gentlemen can be proud of.
The new album, which is released by the Portuguese label Clean Feed, elaborates on previous work, but it all sounds more intense, compact and mature.
The trio is perfectly capable of turning inside out a famous song like Lili Marleen (the WW II classic ‘Lili Marleen’)...”  JazzFlits, Herman Te Loo, NL

-----------------------

“The sound of the trio is almost like their presence itself, deeply human. Together, they create a unique music world in which we can trip through time amid our own emotions”  Sightsong, (JP)

-----------------------

“Their catchy tempos and deep melodic reveries present an approachable demeanour, but it isn’t long before wild divergences and curious eruptions of volatility take over, leaving a paradoxical amalgamation of just what is what. The resulting confusion is the source of this album’s charm.The perpetual challenge of reconciling the embraceable passages with those more abrupt and acerbic is a limitless source of fun and intrigue” Birth is the worm, D Sumner, (U.S.A).

-----------------------

“This is smart and interesting music. Modern jazz with a very open perspective.
The three artists meet for a wonderful journey through the land of music, touching on a number of musical influences through their compositions, and adding joyous improvisations welcoming other cultures and people and sounds into their idiom. The music is genre-bending, with little tunes and compositions that sound vaguely familiar, as if taken from our common unconscious and reformatted into something more modern and exciting.”  Free jazz Blog ****1⁄2 Stef Gijssels, Jan 2019 (BE)




-----------------------

“You hear 3 sound magicians who, to their heart's content, search for the unexplored areas, looking for the ultimate structures that can give them and the listener the necessary pleasure. Anyone who has already wandered around the labyrinths of these borderline sound manipulators should definitely experience the band live.” Let's talk jazz G T Briquet. Dec 2018, (BE)

-----------------------

“Playful and capricious. Marcos Baggiani, Guillermo Celano and Joachim Badenhorst work together on a unique balance of composition and improvisation that feels as recognisable as strange. That in turn ensures that you, as a listener, are also forced to keep on raising your ears and discovering that special synergy.” Enola - Guy Peters - 11 jan 2019

-----------------------

“Playful Jazz from Amsterdam.
The music was eclectic and postmodern and the result was a quite blatantly applause. Some compositions come from their own pen, while others are finely crafted from pieces by such diverse authors as Misha Mengelberg or the modern classic György Ligeti.
Conclusion: A fine, in the best sense entertaining concert with musicians, which you will surely hear in the next years at the big European festivals”

Lina Allemano: Trumpet
John Dikeman: Tenor sax
Leo Svirsy: Piano
Marcos Baggiani: Drums

“Free, wild and spontaneous collective improvisations are full of different stylistic waves, unpredictable and sudden turns and surprises.

Musicians masterfully combine all these elements together in one place and create energetic, active, vivid, gorgeous and bright sound.”

AvantScena, Feb 26, 2018

+ Last year, Kuai Music released the recording of the CBG concert at Bimhuis.
I’ve just found this nice, concise review on line.
Many thanks to Bird is the Worm and Dave Summer!

C.B.G. – Una Noche en Bimhuis (Kuai Music)

"There’s an appealing casualness to this live session led by guitarist Guillermo Celano and drummer Marcos Baggiani. Melodies are drawled out slowly and tempos seem haphazardly constructed. 

The result is unmitigated personality. Songs often reveal traits not immediately hinted at, and the initial direction a tune takes is rarely the same it ends with. 

 This live set at Amsterdam’s famed Bimhuis is free and unbound and strangely tuneful when least you’d expect it. Rounding out the CBG sextet are multi-reedists Michael Moore & Joachim Badenhorst, tenor saxophonist Natalio Sued and bassist Clemens van der Feen. 

 And yet more music from the Buenos Aires scene."

---------------∞¬∞-----------------

+ This is The Ambush Party Playing cumbia. (with many thanks to Elsie Vermeer)



We did a very nice double gig at De Ruimte playing free Improv for the "dOek Series" and discombobulated cumbias for "The 2nd Stop is Jupiter"
And so is the new program we want to present: 1/2 improv and 1/2 cumbified. Check it out!
