Las SIBILAS
Las sibilas son mujeres adivinas capaces de conocer el futuro, inspiradas generalmente por Apolo. Este personaje de las mitologías griega y romana aparece ya en la obra de Heráclito en el s. V a. C., Platón también la menciona.
Estas mujeres vivían en grutas o cercanas a corrientes de agua, allí erigían sus oráculos y manifestaban sus profecías en estado de trance y expresadas en griego por escrito.
Son conocidas llevando el nombre de su residencia, así la Sibila Délfica (del oráculo Delfos), la Sibila de Cumas o Cumana, Sibila de Eritrea, Sibila Babilónica o Pérsica y Sibila Líbica, las cinco pintadas por Miguel Angel en la Capilla Sixtina; pero hubo también otras sibilas conocidas como Sibila de Samos, Sibila Herófica de Troya, Sibila del Helesponto, Sibila frigia, Sibila cimeria, etc.
me encanta tu forma.....
...las sombras crecen enormemente ente mis ojos,
y ellas se mueven a lo largo de la página.
Repentinamente el día se torna noche,
pero no vacilo....
...me encanta tu forma...............................
A disfrutar con Jaco Pastorius y de lo mejor en jazz-fusion
"Birdland" is a jazz instrumental composition by keyboardist Joe Zawinul that debuted on the seventh album of Zawinul's group Weather Report, "Heavy Weather", in 1977. A jazz-fusion piece, it achieved unusual commercial success and became a jazz standard, reaching number 1 on the Billboard Jazz chart as well as charting high on the Hot 100 and R&B charts, as well.
It has entered the repertoire of many groups and bands over the years, including Buddy Rich, Maynard Ferguson's big band, and The Manhattan Transfer, who recorded a vocalese take on the tune with lyrics by Jon Hendricks. An uptempo version with a rap introduction appears on Quincy Jones' 1989 album "Back On The Block", with vocals by Kool Moe Dee, Big Daddy Kane, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan.
The original version is easily recognized by an artificial harmonic intro played by bassist Jaco Pastorius.
"Birdland" was named after the New York City jazz club Birdland on 52nd Street, which in turn was named after jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker, nicknamed 'Bird'. The song is a tribute to Parker and the club that Zawinul frequented as a young musician (and where he met his future wife). "Heavy Weather" is one of the best-sellers in the Columbia jazz catalog, and is on the short list of LP's considered to be the greatest of all jazz-fusion recordings. This channel is dedicated to the classic jazz music you've loved for years. The smokin' hot, icy cool jams that still make you tap your feet whenever you hear them . . . Cool Jazz is here!
