    Jazz mediterraneo al femminile. Artista appassionata ed eclettica, Daniela Schächter si inserisce nel panorama jazzistico newyorkese mantenendo una forte personalità italiana Ciò che la differenzia dagli altri jazzisti americani, a sua detta, è la grande ed ostinata determinazione dovuta all’esser “nata in una terra ostile al jazz”; certamente è molto motivata e lavora con grande impegno, ma ciò che maggiormente cattura, ascoltandola suonare il piano, è la forte personalità del suo tocco. Daniela Schaechter, minuta e delicata, davanti alla tastiera produce infatti un’energia insospettabile, ed ogni singola nota che ne deriva sembra imprimersi con forza nell’aria: la sua musica ha un gran carattere, senz’ombra di dubbio. La giovane compositrice suona il piano in modo appassionato e coinvolgente, con un tocco potente e leggero al tempo stesso, unendo al talento musicale una voce limpida, profonda e suadente. L’avviata e promettente artista messinese, di formazione classica e cultura statunitense, si è esibita a Roma sul palco Acousticampus in occasione della “Estate alla Sapienza” (2007), presso l’omonimo ateneo romano. Affiancata sul palco da due compagni altrettanto giovani e parimenti dotati: l’ottimo Massimo Pellitteri alla batteria ed Olec Osenkov al basso. Ambizioso, oltre che "energico", il programma della serata, che spazia da Telonius Monk a Miles Davis, passando attraverso una splendida reinterpretazione di “E se domani” di Mina. Oltre naturalmente alla sua produzione: eclettica successione di pezzi a ritmo sostenuto e brani dalla dolcezza struggente. La sua musica è incisiva, con una precisa identità e capace di trasportare lo spettatore in un mondo ricco di vibrazioni e colori. Una personalità che è legata in modo evidente al suo essere italiana, e siciliana, come appare evidente nei titoli di brani e CD e come emerge dalla passionalità della scrittura e dell'interpretazione. Inserita nell’ambito della rassegna Le donne e il jazz accanto alle più note (in Italia) Patrizia Scascitelli e Ada Rovatti, Daniela rappresenta uno dei molti artisti italiani che hanno scelto di vivere la scena statunitense senza scendere a compromessi con le proprie radici culturali: una soluzione che paga, a giudicare dai molti premi vinti e dall'apprezzamento riscosso in America e non solo. Fra i molti pezzi in repertorio, non a caso il brano più toccante scritto ed interpretato dalla compositrice si chiama “Terra Madre”: perché la Sicilia, forse più che ogni altra isola al mondo, resta nel cuore. Indelebilmente. Donatella Codonesu Copyright © TeatroTeatro.it. Tutti i diritti sono riservati. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Susan Frances - JAZZREVIEW: Purple Butterfly, the third CD from singer-songwriter Daniela Schächter is like manna to jazz fans ears. Her vocal palate satisfies the listeners craving for emotive-inspired swing. Schächter sings without any pre-conceptions about what these songs were like before she touched them. She does not follow other singers style, she makes her own lettering. Schächter focuses on how she can move the vocal melodies to fit her own disposition, and release her emotions through her vocal expressions. Her singing truly exhibits her own freedom of expression as she applies her own rules to where she takes her vocals. Her vocals move outside of the melodic frames in tracks like “Autumn Leaves” and “Promise” erecting elegant arcs and graceful back-bends. The malleable turns and gingerly beaded tones in the melodic patterns produce attractive landscapes as a backdrop for her vocals. Her band which comprises of Alex Sipiagin on trumpet and flugelhorn, Joel Frahm on tenor saxophone, Massimo Biolcati on acoustic bass, and Quincy Davis on drums keep to Schächter’s vocal stride and measurements with surgical precision. Schächter also plays the piano on these tracks which adds to its manna-like bliss. Her sweeps are immaculate and the control she has over her vocal movements is pristine. Her voice is relaxing in tracks like “I Will Wait For You” and “The Days Of Wine And Roses,” exhibiting a soft temperament, and the meadow-like coloring of the title track is warm and comfy rolling through the ear passages. “The Peacocks” have a nocturnal glow, and the sprightly swagger of her vocals in “Lo Sguardo della Luna” produce a weightless vibe. Her vocal dimensions are expansive, taking them over the top at times and stretching her chords beyond the parameters of the melodies. Daniela Schächter’s talents have been well received by the jazz community. Over the years, she has won several prestigious awards and has been the recipient of several scholarships. She has performed at a number of music festivals including the Brass Group Jazz Festival, the Umbria Jazz Fest, the Cape May Jazz Festival, the Sarasota Jazz Festival, and the Cape Cod Jazz Festival to name a few. Three albums into her solo career and Schächter is still going strong and making her mark on jazz music one that lasts. http://www.jazzreview.com/cd/review-20528.html
