I Dischi del 2024 secondo Ludovico Granvassu
Posso capire quel disagio. Ci sono passato. La consapevolezza di aver escluso tantissimi album meritevoli rende il piacere di indicare dieci album amati piuttosto sterile. Ahia...
Quest'anno, però, credo di aver cambiato prospettiva. Come ci sono arrivato? Riflettendo sullo stato d'anico con cui affronto, da lettore, questi articoli di "fine anno." Se li leggo con aspettativa e curiosità, anche se con le dovute pinze, ci sarà qualcosa di utile in questi articoli, no? Ci sarà per lo meno qualcosa di divertente. Ma cosa? Cosa?
Dal momento che la musica non è uno sport, non può essere la scoperta di quale album ha ricevuto il numero più alto di riconoscimenti. Quanti capolavori sono stati trascurati e fraintesi al momento della loro pubblicazione? Quello che questi articoli offrono—almeno per me—è l'opportunità di non farsi sfuggire album che meritano di essere ascoltati. Sì, perché alla fine di ogni anno mi rendo conto che, nonostante abbia dedicato un'incredibile quantità di tempo a setacciare ogni angolo della jazzosfera, ci sono ancora centinaia di dischi che non ho ascoltato, per vari motivi. Non sapevo fossero stati pubblicati. Mi sono sfuggiti. Li ho messi da parte per un momento, e poi sono stati sommersi dalla valanga di nuove uscite quotidiane, ecc...
Quindi, ciò che questi articoli fanno davvero, almeno per me, è ricordarmi di fermarmi e guardare indietro, per una volta. Mi spingono a crogiolarmi nella bellezza jazzistica che l'anno ci ha offerto. E questo è, forse, il modo migliore per ricaricare le batterie in vista del nuovo anno. Con la consapevolezza che, come appassionati di jazz, possiamo contare su un mondo jazzistico che sembra più accogliente del mondo reale, un luogo dove musica progressiva e conservatrice, musica suonata da persone di tutte le provenienze e convinzioni, jazz eseguito da musicisti di ogni età e provenienti da tutto il mondo, si uniscono per creare qualcosa di più grande della somma delle sue parti. Ed è per questo che, affinché una retrospettiva dell'anno sia significativa, bisogna gettare una rete ampia (ho cercato di gettarla il più ampia possibile, ma sono pienamente consapevole che non è ancora abbastanza ampia, dato che album sia tradizionali che completamente improvvisati raramente sono finiti nella mia pila di CD).
In quest'ottica, ho elencato i numerosi album ai quali sarò felice di tornare in futuro. Perché un altro aspetto di questi articoli è che funzionano come le briciole di pane di Hansel e Gretel, grazie alle quali—col tempo—possiamo ripercorrere i nostri passi e ricordarci come eravamo e come suonava il nostro mondo.
Se non avete avuto la possibilità di ascoltare questi album, dategli una chance. Se non avete abbastanza tempo, ascoltate gli episodi del mio programma radiofonico in cui ho raccolto alcune delle migliori canzoni del 2024, scelte da questi album (e non solo): Parte 1, Parte 2, Parte 3, Parte 4, Parte 5, e Parte 6. Come sempre, spero che piacciano anche a voi!
