COMPLETE LIST OF INTERVIEWS IN ENGLISH

"The Bad Plus" is an orthodox jazz trio (piano, bass and drums) but unorthodox in content. Nirvana, Blondie or J.S. Bach have "suffered" their particular sound "deconstruction". Next summer they´ll play in some spanish cities (Barcelona, Vitoria...) to present their second release: "These are the Vistas". Reid Anderson (bass player of the band) has kindly attended an interview for Tomajazz V-2003

Tim Berne is one of the most personal and complex voices in music today. Diluting multiple genre-borders, he has followed an uncompromised path oscillating between jazz, improvisation and chamber music. In other words, a strictly personal language. An exclusive interview in Tomajazz by Efrén del Valle: Tim Berne Interview (in english) IIii-2003 

An interview with Dave Douglas in Barcelona, Spain in October of 2002: Dave Douglas Interview XIi-2002

Pierre Alexandre Tremblay is the bass player and artististic director of the Quebec´s group [IKS]. The band, born in 1996, mixes a whole world of esthetics (free jazz, soul, rap, african music...) to conform their particular sound world. A group whose objective is experiment with improvisation - from the different approaches to improvised music of the band members - to create a new and unique language. By Carlos Pérez Cruz. V-2003

Malia, a singer born in Malawi, is one of Sony’s new bets. Her presence in the jazz department of the label and in some of the spanish summer festivals is an example of their complete misconception. But you can judge for yourself, since she visited the "Club de Jazz". http://www.tomajazz.com/clubdejazz/entrevistas/malia_eng.htm
