Sebastián Duplaquet Dínamo Quinteto

By Inigo Diaz
Between 2004 and 2006 the quartet with guitar and tenor sax was a modality that many local jazz musicians used in their projects and possibly it was the hard Santiago stories (2004) sample saxophonist David Perez stronger at that time. Between 2007 and 2009 the new music of the same composers, improvisers sound took another turn and almost all chose to include a piano on that front. They multiplied the groups with five musicians and guitarist Sebastian Duplaquet stood there from an album of exquisite workmanship, in a passage that took him from the quartet (with his first album, Dreams, 2005), the quintet (through the new Best place).

The nature of this work is defined from various signals. Duplaquet is a musician who comes from academia, with a median path as a classical guitarist, so rather than sound which also hears is silence. The combination of both is in its composition, purified in the control of the intensities, volumes and disciplines. Duplaquet has a sober and sensible personality, presented here even in the most daring passages, and his personal concept of jazz has been designed primarily for the concert hall before the nightclub. This could be verified during the first presentation of this code, on 16 October in the Sala del Teatro Municipal Arrau.

In such moments of reflective, The best place is full. The segments start to pieces like "Afternoon" and "Study 2" are empirical demonstrations of how and how much you can substitute quantity for quality through a few acoustic inputs. The guitar arpeggios and delicate figures tenor saxophone (Claudio Rubio) on the ballad "Without a voice" clear the way with the help of bass (Rodrigo Galarce), who always listens on, and a battery (Julio Denis) that shines but never confuses the hearing. But above all here is the added element that determines the spirit of this music.

Duplaquet already had two seasons of collaboration with Ernesto Jodos piano teacher when winger decided to join the session. His speech is a cross-extra range for this recording, whose moments of jazz, if one can speak in this way are in the mid tempo "Soul in transit" and the downtempo "Straight" in the bop "The useless" and a piece resumes from memory, "Reflections," a revisit to the original 2005 that had been recorded in quartet. "My music is almost uterine," said Duplaquet. It's all there: the uterus was always the best place in the world to be.
