Papo Vázquez

Trombonist, composer and arranger Papo Vázquez has 40+ years of career spanning Jazz, Latin, Afro Caribbean and Classical music.

长号手、作曲家及编曲家帕波·巴斯克斯(Papo Vazquez)的职业生涯已超过40年，涉及领域包括爵士、拉丁、加勒比黑人和古典音乐。

Vázquez一直深受爵士乐的影响，他特别提到John Coltrane和J.J. Johnson的音乐对他的影响*。此外，他对加勒比土著音乐的欣赏和了解使他具有独特的能力，能够将加勒比黑人的节奏，特别是波多黎各的节奏与现代爵士乐中更为自由的旋律和和声元素融合在一起。

在20世纪80年代，他开始尝试“Bomba Jazz”，这是一种融合了爵士乐和传统波多黎各民谣邦巴音乐的音乐。1993年，他录制了自己作为领队的*张专辑《Breakout》。他目前有8张唱片，所有的音乐都是由Vazquez创作和编曲的，除了后者和钢琴家Rick Germanson共同的编排；现在是Mighty Pirates Troubadours乐队的成员。

他是*位接受作曲家协会委托的黑人拉丁爵士乐团(Iron Jungle)的艺术家，后来成为林肯中心爵士乐团(Jazz at Lincoln Center)的常驻团员。他的*首古典作曲《Palomita – Afro-Caribbean Suite》，是与Bronx Arts Ensemble室内乐团合作的作品，并在2004年于纽约Hostos艺术中心首演。2007年，受BRAC委托，创作了《Sube el Rio (River Rising)》为他们20周年的“布朗克斯河之声”音乐会作曲。

同年，通过The Painted Bride Art Center的资助，Vázquez被邀请扩大乐队的规模，并被委托为一支19人的黑人波多黎各爵士乐团创作新音乐。2008年现场录制的演出Papo Vázquez《Mighty Pirates Marooned/Aíslado,》获得格莱美*拉丁爵士专辑提名。

2009年，Vázquez与布朗克斯区的室内乐艺术合奏团*合作创作了《Oasis》。这项工作发展成为《Oasis Project a multimedia and multicultural》项目，并在纽约普雷根斯剧院PRTT首演。

Vázquez was always deeply moved by Jazz, and specifically cites the music of John Coltrane and J.J. Johnson as having most influenced him. In addition, his appreciation and knowledge of the indigenous music of the Caribbean provides him with a unique ability to fuse Afro-Caribbean rhythms, specifically those from Puerto Rico, with freer melodic and harmonic elements of progressive jazz.

During the 1980s, he began to experiment with “Bomba Jazz,” a fusion of Jazz and traditional Puerto Rican folkloric Bomba music. In 1993, he recorded his first album as a leader, Breakout. He currently has eight recordings, and all music is composed and arranged by Vazquez except the latter where arranging is shared by pianist Rick Germanson; a current member of the Mighty Pirates Troubadours.

He was the first artist to receive a composer’s commission (Iron Jungle) for the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra, then a resident orchestra at Jazz at Lincoln Center. His first classical composition, Palomita – Afro-Caribbean Suite, a Bomba and Plena was commissioned and performed with the Bronx Arts Ensemble Chamber Orchestra and premiered at Hostos Center for the Arts, Bronx, NY 2004. In 2007, was commissioned by the Bronx River Arts Center [BRAC] and wrote Sube el Rio (River Rising) for his Mighty Pirate Orchestra for their 20th Anniversary “Bronx River Sounds” concert.

The same year, through a grant from The Painted Bride Art Center in Philadelphia, Vázquez was asked to expand Pirates Troubadours, and was commissioned to compose new music for a 19- piece, Afro-Puerto Rican Jazz Orchestra. The 2008 event was recorded live, resulting in Papo Vázquez Mighty Pirates Marooned/Aíslado, which received a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Jazz Album.

In 2009, Vázquez premiered a composition "Oasis" with the Bronx Arts Ensemble Chamber Music. This work grew into the expanded Oasis Project a multimedia and multicultural group and premiered at Pregones Theater PRTT, Bronx, NY.

Vázquez became a key player in New York’s burgeoning Latin  Jazz scene of the late 1970's, performing with Jerry Gonzalez, Hilton  Ruiz, among others. He studied with Slide Hampton, eventually recorded and  performed for Slide Hampton's World of Trombones. 
Vázquez went on to perform with jazz luminaries Tito Puente, Dizzy Gillespie’s United  Nations Orchestra, Frank Foster, Mel Lewis, Mario Rivera, Hilton Ruiz and  Milton Cardona. He toured Europe with the Ray Charles Orchestra. By the age of 22, Vázquez had traveled the globe.
