Guiro​’​s Montuno

from OTROJAZZ (Paris Bronx Connection) by ERDOS QUARTET+

/

about

Guiro’s Montuno (Laurent Erdös) began with the idea of playing the rhythm of the guiro on the piano: one scratch and two taps. Scratching reminds me of my grandmother, who used to scratch my back singing "do re mi fa sol la si do, scratch the chip on my back". Singing a bit of an ascending scale over the names of descending notes, as we do in this recording, should make any music-education teacher jump, but
it's also a reference to a Cuban rumba classic (who doesn't know?). The harmonic sequence is taken from the opening bars of Dizzy Gillespie's Groovin' High, which adds another color, different from classic chachas.
