Pues la traemos aquí porque nos enorgullece que Susana que ha estado tocando en elcercano hace tres meses triunfe nada menos que en Nueva York donde pasará toda la semana tocando en distintos lugares. Nos enorgullece porque la modestia y no salir en los medios no significa que no haya VALOR sino que los circuitos pueden ser distintos y alternativos. Es difícil, claro está, porque hay demasiado amigo del flash y oropel que convierte el medio en el fin último cuando lo importante es el producto. En fin, que sacamos pecho por haber apostado por Susana en su día y ver como se está abriendo camino en la música a nivel mundial. No nos extrañaría verla repetir pronto en Ourense, aunque no fuera en elcercano porque ya sabemos nuestro papel…

Susana Santos Silva, a young trumpeter from Porto, Portugal, is a fearless jazz musician who can determine a context for herself wherever she is. She plays with a warm tone and a mute until she wants to recast it for the ensemble and the space she’s playing in; she’s equally comfortable with carefully measured phrases as she is with relaxed free improvisation. She’s in town as part of the Orquestra Jazz de Matosinhos, a big band that works with the jazz guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel at the Blue Note through the week leading up to Sunday, May 22, and then she’s doing a run of small Brooklyn gigs with some of the best improvisers in town. On Monday, she’s at 65 Fen, with the bassist Pascal Niggenkemper and the drummer Carlo Costa; on Tuesday, at Korzo, with the bassist Thomas Morgan and pianist Craig Taborn; on Thursday, she’ll play in a duo with the saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock at Manhattan Inn; and on May 29, she’ll play in a trio with the pianist Kris Davis and the violist Mat Maneri at IBeam.

An earlier version of this article misstated the circumstances of one of the trumpeter Susana Santos Silva’s appearances in New York City. She will appear in a duo with the saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock at the Manhattan Inn on Thursday, May 26. It is not the case that she will sits in for one set with the trumpeter Jamie Branch’s trio, then in another set with the trumpeter Peter Evans and the drummer Levy Lorenzo.
