Danilo Pérez(born December 29, 1965) is a Panamanian pianist, composer, educator, and a social activist.[1][2][3][4]His music is a blend of Panamanian roots with elements of Latin American folk music, jazz, European impressionism, African, and other musical heritages that promote music as a multi-dimensional bridge between people. He has released eleven albums as a leader, and appeared on many recordings as a side man, which have earned him critical acclaim, numerous accolades, Grammy Awards wins and nominations. He is a recipient of the United States Artists Fellowship,[5]and the 2009 Smithsonian Legacy Award.[6]
Biography
[edit]Born inPanamain 1965, Danilo Pérez started his musical studies at the age of three with his father, Danilo Enrico Pérez Urriola, an elementary and middle school educator and well known Panamanian singer. In 1967 his father wrote a university thesis which stated that the entire curriculum should be taught through music. He used these techniques to teach his son mathematics, science and other subjects through music, therefore rhythm and interconnective learning became the foundation of Perez's youth. By age 10, Pérez was studying the European classical piano repertoire at the National Conservatory in Panama. In 1985 Pérez was awarded aFulbright Scholarshipto study in the United States. After initially enrolling atIndiana University of Pennsylvania,Pérez quickly transferred to theBerklee College of Musicafter being awarded theQuincy Jones Scholarship.While still a student, he performed withJon Hendricks,Terence Blanchard,Slide Hampton,Claudio RoditiandPaquito D'Rivera.Pérez received a degree in jazz composition and upon graduation he began touring and recording with artists such asJack DeJohnette,Steve Lacy,Lee Konitz,Charlie Haden,Michael Brecker,Joe Lovano,Tito Puente,Wynton Marsalis,Tom Harrell,Gary Burton,andRoy Haynes.
In 1989, two events occurred that have proven of lasting influence on both Pérez's creative practice as well as his thinking regarding music as a tool for social change. That year Pérez became the youngest member appointed toDizzy Gillespie's United Nation Orchestra. "He really showed me the power of music as a diplomatic tool, the power of music in intercultural dialogue", says Pérez of Gillespie, "He constantly asked me who are you, how are you and wanted a non-musical answer, he wanted to hear about your life where you come from. How you speak, and how you dance. He encouraged us to use music in a creative ways to respond to all these questions". He wanted to be remembered as a humanitarian. This was my first experience with jazz as something beyond a style of music. "I remember one time playing a solo, and I was very proud of playing in the bebop language, everybody was complimenting me, but Dizzy said: 'That's good young man, but you can bring some more of your Panamanian folklore into it." I will never forget that. "
Pérez remained a member of the United Nation Orchestra until Gillespie's passing in 1992. In December, 1989 he returned to his nativePanamato perform for the first time with his own ensemble made up of musicians from theUnited Statesand Spain. About the engagement Pérez says, "The concert got cancelled because two days after the band arrived, theUS invaded Panama.The entire country was scared. We were fearful of the military intervention and the future was uncertain. But we all decided to improvise and face the unknown, as it happens in jazz, and we went forward with the concert, in the middle of theUS invasion.With our musical shield, we were confident no bullets could enter our spirit. The club was packed with people for and against the invasion who got together and decided to celebrate life. We laughed, hugged, and cried. On that day we had a country (in a small club) without an invasion for 2 hours. I learned then that the power of music could be an antidote against war, misunderstanding, hate and suffering, and that music is one of the most effective tools to redirect humanity in the quest for peace ".
Music career
[edit]Pérez started on piano when he was three years old. At ten, he studied at the National Conservatory in Panama. By age 12, he was working professionally as a musician. He moved to the U.S. to study music, attendingIndiana University of Pennsylvaniaand then switching to theBerklee College of Musicin Boston. At Berklee, he worked withJon Hendricks,Claudio Roditi,andTerence Blanchard.
In 1989, Pérez became a member ofDizzy Gillespie's United Nation Orchestra. The albumLive at the Royal Festival Hallwon a Grammy Award. He remained with the band until Gillespie died in 1992. In October 1998, he toldThe Independentthat "One of the things Dizzy taught me was to learn about my own heritage even more than I knew already. He said it was more important for jazz for you to get to what your own roots are, than to learn about other things."
In 1993 Pérez turned his focus to his own work as a bandleader and composer and has gone on to release eleven albums as a leader. Perez released his first album,Danilo Perez,on theNovuslabel. In 1994, at the age of 27, Perez released what is considered his most personal album,The Journey,[7]a musical account of the torturous tripenslaved Africansmade across the oceans in the hulls of theslave ships.The album made it to the top ten jazz lists of New York'sVillage Voice,theNew York Times,Billboard,and theBoston Globe.It also allowed Perez to become a recognizable name in the jazz community. Critics have hailedThe Journey,Perez's second recording, for its quality of composition and incorporation of Pan-African influences into a jazz context. Perez set up the album as a dream series tracing the route of slaves, stolen or sold from their homes and transported across the sea.The Journeybegins with "The Capture", makes its way through "The Taking", "Chains", "The Voyage", and finishes with "Libre Spiritus". According to Minstrel Music Network, "On The Journey, Perez... seeks to blur the distinctions between musical styles, through his all-encompassing vision, and (by implication) to eradicate the distinctions between those people native to the Americas, and the Africans and Europeans who mixed with them to cast the alloy of multiculturalism." In 1995 Pérez was appointed to the faculty of the New England Conservatory. In the year 1996 he released Panamonk,[8][9]a tribute toThelonious MonkwhichDownBeatnamed "One of the most importantjazz pianoalbums in the history ". He also performed at the1996 Summer OlympicsinAtlantawithWynton Marsalis.Mr Perez also performed as a special guest at PresidentBill Clinton'sInaugural Ball.He also played the piano on theBill CosbyTV show theme song, and participated in theArturo SandovalGrammy-winning album,Danzon.
He received his first commission in 1995 from the Concorso Internazionale di Composizione. He immediately began applying the concepts he had been working on in the jazz setting of merging the multiple musical languages and the cultural traditions they represent to large scale compositions. The resulting work, Pan-American Suite, a double concerto for vibraphone, piano and orchestra combined the musical traditions of Panamanian folk music and western classical forms and was premiered byGary Burtonand the composer in the soloist roles.
In 1998, his albumCentral Avenue,[10]placedmejoraneramusic (a style of Panamanian folklore singing) within a contemporary jazz context and earned Grammy and Latin Grammy nominations. Both albums received theBoston Music Awardsand was chosen as one of the 10 best recordings across genres byTimemagazine in 1998.[11]
A subsequent commission from theChicago Jazz Festivalin 1999 for the saxophonistSteve Lacy,Suite for the Americas incorporated American and Latin American folk music with the traditional elements of jazz and was scored for jazz quartet and the American folk instruments of blues guitaristJohn Primerwith the Latin folk singerLuciana Souzaand bata drums. Pérez later recorded the piece for his 2000 releaseMotherland.That same year he received the first of two commissions fromLincoln Center.
In 2000, he joinedWayne Shorter'squartet withJohn PatitucciandBrian Blade.Pérez appeared on all four of the recordings the group made:Footprints Live!(2002),Alegría(2003),Beyond the Sound Barrier(2005), andWithout a Net(2013). The ensemble received theJazz Journalists Associationaward for Small Ensemble of the Year six times between 2002 and 2015. The ensemble's first releaseFootprints Live!received the "Album of the Year Award" in 2003 from theJazz Journalist Associationand theDownBeatCritics and Readers polls. The ensemble's second releaseBeyond the Sound Barrierreceived a Grammy award for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance Individual or Group. The ensemble's most recent release Without a Net received "Album of the Year" honors from the Jazz Journalists Association, theDownBeatandNPRJazz Critics polls. The performance techniques of the ensemble have formed the basis of new pedagogy for the study of the relationship between improvisation and composition and is the subject of numerous research studies in jazz. Regarding Shorter, Pérez says, "Wayne has encouraged me to write what I hope for and what I wish the world to be."[This quote needs a citation]
In 2003, Pérez foundedPanama Jazz Festival[12][13]with the stated mission of bettering the lives of people through shared musical experiences as listeners, on stage and in the classrooms. About the festival Pérez states, "By offering performances and educational activities of the highest order, as well as practical, hands on training in the music business, the Panama Jazz Festival[14][15]aims to inspire and educate while providing tools and opportunities to build a better future for individuals and their communities. "As such, while the festival annually offers a rich program of concerts by leading international jazz musicians, the emphasis is on music education. It has become the largest music education event in the region and includes classical programs as well as the Latin American Symposium on Music Therapy and an annual symposium on AfroPanamanian traditions. The festival also supports the year-round educational programs of Danilo Pérez Foundation,[16][17][18]which brings art and music to children living in communities of extreme poverty throughout the Republic ofPanama.
In 2008Berklee College of Music[19][20]approached Pérez with opportunity to design a curriculum that could serve as a platform for his work as an artist and humanitarian that could be taught to generations of gifted musicians for years to come. In 2009 he was named the founder and artistic director for theBerklee Global Jazz Institute;[21]a creative music institute with a progressive vision to develop the artist of the new millennium. About the Institute Pérez states, "the practice of sharing humanity through performance experience is the core of the curriculum and I work with gifted musicians to become leaders in the world community to affect positive social change with one common goal: to develop the creative cultural Ambassadors of the new millennium.
In the year 2008 the albumAcross the Crystal Sea[22]was released. A collaboration between Danilo Perez and the prolific composer and arrangerClaus Ogerman.Praised byThe Guardian[23]as "So ultra-smooth it achieves something like a state of grace".Claus Ogermansaid "This is a record I wanted to make before I leave the planet".[24]
In the 2010 Perez releasedProvidencia,[25][26]which was also nominated for aGrammyAward in the category of "Best Instrumental Jazz Album". Regarding Pérez's 2014 release Panama 500,[27]HarvardProfessorDavid Carrascoremarked "Danilo's musical vision says 'Presente' to the musical tones, timbres, lips and dedos who discovered what only this year we learn while listening to Panama 500, the truth that what we think of as modest, little Panamá, IS also the center of the world,' our becoming world of music, human dialogue, human possibility and pleasure."
Pérez[28]has received commissions from many chamber groups and his work often finds inspiration in the people, journeys and events that shaped the origins of the Americas. In 2011 theImani Windscommissioned Pérez as part of their legacy commissioning for his composition Travesias Panameñas.[29]In 2012 Pérez was commissioned byCarnegie Hallto compose an octet for members of theSimón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela.Pérez describes the work, Cuentos del Mar, as, "a brushstroke of the oceanic museum of life-the place where we see ourselves depicted, hopeful or mistaken. It is a story of ambition and colonization, a new world that is full of hope and ready to change the course of humanity.
Another commission in 2013 by theBanff Center[30]for his piece Camino de Cruces, written for theCecilia Quartet.[31]A three-movement crossover work for piano andstring quartet.About this work Pérez states, "Camino de Cruces[32]tries to create a personal journey that captures the different challenges the Spaniards, native Indians, and slaves may have faced during their journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific during colonization. At the base of the piece is folkloric counterpoint: native Indian, African, and European cultures blending their influences to create a hybrid form in order to represent Panama as a melting pot ". Perez continues" This piece is based on my concept called three-dimensional music that combines jazz, Pan-American folklore, and classical music. It has melodic references to traditional Panamanian folklore mixed with North American blues and improvisations, fused with harmonic language from my background in classical music and jazz. "- Danilo Perez.
In 2015 Pérez was commissioned by the Museum of Biodiversity in Panama designed by architectFrank Gehryto compose a site specific work. For this occasion Pérez developed a tridimensional music concept where three different musical stories could be heard individually and/or together depending on where the listener stood in the gallery. The four-part composition was intended as a soundtrack for one of the museum's permanent exhibitions The Human Path.[33]with each movement of the work corresponding to one of four key eras: the beginning of man, the development of the native culture, colonization, and modernity. Perez once dreamed of bringing a world-class jazz club to Panama and the dream became realized as the opening of Danilo's Jazz Club[34]on Sunday, February 23, 2014.
In 2015 Pérez premiered two brand new commissions. In July, his composition "Expeditions- Panamania 2015"[35]was performed at thePanamerican gamesinToronto.The same year in September, he also premiered his "Detroit World Suite- La leyenda de Bayano at the Detroit Jazz Festival. Some of Perez's accomplishments include The Legacy Award from theSmithsonianLatino Center, the ASICOM International Award from theUniversity of Oviedoand the Gloria Career Achievement Award from the International Latino Cultural Center ofChicagoare among the significant acknowledgements he has received for his work.[36]Pérez previously served as Goodwill Ambassador toUNICEFand currently serves as anUNESCOArtist for Peace and as Cultural Ambassador to theRepublic of Panama.In 2016 Pérez received an honorary doctorate[37]from theUniversity of Panama.Mr Perez's work continues to receive recognition all around the world and in 2017 the Puerto Rico Heineken Jazz Festival[38]dedicated its edition in honor and the work of Panamanian pianist Danilo Pérez.[39]In 2018 Danilo Pérez won the United States Artists Fellowship[40][41][42]and theVictoriano LorenzoAward.[43]

He performedThe Journeyin concert with the Panamanian Symphony Orchestra the same year.[44]The album is a musical account of the trip enslaved Africans made across the ocean, beginning with "The Capture", through "The Taking", "Chains", The Voyage ", and ending with" Libre Spiritus ".David SanchezandGiovanni Hidalgoplay on the album, which was recorded in two days at the Power Station in New York City. The album made it to the top ten jazz lists inThe Village Voice,The New York Times,The Boston Globe,andBillboardmagazine. It was named one of the best albums of the 1990s byDownBeatmagazine.[44]
In 1998,Central Avenue,Pérez's fourth album, received a Grammy nomination forBest Latin Jazz Album.Central Avenueis a blend of influences fromblues,folk,andCaribbeanandMiddle Easterngenres. It was produced byTommy LiPuma,who worked with Pérez onPanaMonk.Pérez arranged the ensemble of bassistsJohn Patitucciand Avishai Cohen, and drummerJeff "Tain" Watts.The songs were done in one take, except for "Panama Blues". For this song, Pérez recordedRaul Vital,a Panamanian folk singer, and a chorus ofmejoranasingers in Panama, then returned with the recording to New York City, where the ensemble contributed. Mejorana is an improvisational style of singing. Pérez told Graybow ofBillboard,"[I heard] the blues in their voices, much like the blues down in Mississippi", and instantly wanted to record them.
