关于托梅卡的作品
托梅卡-里德是一位爵士大提琴家、作曲家和即兴演奏家,他从一系列音乐传统中汲取了独特的爵士乐声音。在西方古典音乐传统的训练下,Reid也能流利地使用植根于非洲散居地和先锋极简主义的音乐模式。她在实践中采用了扩展技术--将铅笔或夹子固定在琴弦上,或利用大提琴身体的敲击特性,产生丰富而有质感的声音调色板。

里德是一位多才多艺的演奏家、合作者和即兴演奏者。她作为成员或乐队领队参加了多个音乐团体。她还为不同乐器组合的小型和大型合奏创作和编排作品。Old New(2019年)是托梅卡-里德四重奏的第二张专辑,包括混合的原创作品和通过后波普、自由爵士、极简主义镜头过滤的标准。在一些作品中,鼓和贝斯为电吉他和大提琴之间磁性的即兴对话提供了一个推动的背景。里德致力于集体创作的实践,她的作品经常反映她所居住的社区。在委托创作的作品《Tokens》中,她采访了芝加哥南部社区Dorchester Projects的居民,以获得灵感。她从这些采访中汲取灵感,创作了另一部名为《未来居民》的作品;这部弦乐四重奏作品探讨了居民对侵占性的绅士化可能冲淡该社区历史身份的担忧。里德曾作为芝加哥艺术团的成员演出过,这是一个有几十年历史的音乐团体,由创意音乐家促进会(AACM)产生。她与乐团的另外两名成员一起,带头录制了罗斯科-米切尔、弗雷德-安德森和穆哈尔-理查德-艾布拉姆斯等传奇人物的经典作品。在《Nicole Mitchell/Tomeka Reid/Mike Reed: Artifacts》(2015年)中,Reid对这些作品进行了新的编排,以适应她和她的合作者对长笛、大提琴和鼓的不同寻常的组合,为每首曲目带来新的视角。

2013年,里德创立了芝加哥爵士乐弦乐峰会,这是一个为期三天的年度活动,庆祝弦乐乐器对即兴爵士乐领域的独特贡献。通过研讨会、大师班和表演,里德在国际与会者中培养了一种交流和实验的氛围。该活动培养了新的听众,并为新晋音乐家提供支持。里德在向爵士乐的过去致敬的同时,也在推动这个领域的发展,扩大大提琴在即兴音乐中的表现力。

ABOUT TOMEKA’S WORK
Tomeka Reid is a jazz cellist, composer, and improviser forging a unique jazz sound that draws from a range of musical traditions. Trained in the Western classical tradition, Reid is also fluent in musical modes rooted in the African diaspora and avant-garde minimalism. She employs extended techniques in her practice—attaching pencils or clips to the strings or making use of the percussive qualities of the body of the cello—to produce a rich and textured palette of sounds.

Reid is a versatile player, collaborator, and improviser. She participates in several musical groups as a member or bandleader. She also composes and arranges works for small and large ensembles with varied instrument combinations. Old New (2019), the Tomeka Reid Quartet's second album, includes a mix of original compositions and standards filtered through a post-bop, free jazz, minimalist lens. In several pieces, the drum and bass provide a propelling backdrop for the magnetic, improvisational dialog between the electric guitar and cello. Reid is committed to a practice of collective creativity, and her compositions often reflect the community where she resides. For the commissioned piece Tokens, she interviewed residents of Dorchester Projects, a neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, for inspiration. She drew from these interviews for another commission entitled Prospective Dwellers; this work for string quartet explores the residents’ concerns that encroaching gentrification could dilute the neighborhood’s historical identity. Reid has performed as a member of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, a decades-old musical collective that emerged from the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM). With two other members of the ensemble, she spearheaded a recording of classic works by legends such as Roscoe Mitchell, Fred Anderson, and Muhal Richard Abrams. For Nicole Mitchell/Tomeka Reid/Mike Reed: Artifacts (2015), Reid created new arrangements of the works to fit her and her collaborators’ unusual combination of flute, cello, and drums, bringing fresh perspectives to each track.

In 2013, Reid founded the Chicago Jazz String Summit, an annual, three-day event that celebrates stringed instruments' unique contributions to the improvisational jazz sphere. Across workshops, master classes, and performances, Reid fosters an atmosphere of exchange and experimentation among an international group of attendees. The event cultivates new audiences and offers support for up-and-coming musicians. Reid is honoring jazz's past while driving the field forward and expanding the expressive possibilities of the cello in improvised music.
