Requirements of the
musicians in Savore
All musicians involved with Savore must be able to
perform improvisation as a standard requirement to be part of the trio.
We are purely instrumental and have endeavoured to
create specific feels for the specific styles of Latin we perform: Samba,
Bossa, Bolero, Rumba, Cha Cha and Tango.
Each song we play will have a portion of improvisation
included to add flavoured contrast and character to the melody and style. Most
songs will last from 5 to 10 minutes in duration.
About
the musicians in Savore
Owen Thomson
Owen on nylon string guitar is an extraordinary player,
capable of performing superb melodies and exhilarating improvisation. He is a
master of the guitar and a gifted natural as well as being fully trained with
his Masters in Music.
Owen is quick to pick up ideas and make them flow
through to his guitar like it is an extension of his soul.
He is adept at sight reading and capable of memorizing
a piece of music on the night making it flow as naturally as a river flowing to
the sea. You can play a melody line and he will mimic it without hesitation (if
requested to do so).
His playing ability is unique and a must to listen to
if you find the chance and occasion. www.owenthomson.org
Owen has composed a number of Latin tunes, all of
which are performed as repertoire in Savore.
Raju
Sharma
Raju on congas is a gifted percussionist/drummer who
has been an integral part of Savore keeping the
groove to enable the guitarists’
freedom to experiment and move around in a piece of music.
Raju is trained on many different types of percussion and
drums and is more than capable of performing some stunning solos in the middle
of a piece of music and requested to do so by either Owen or Chris.
With Savore he mainly plays congas and uses the
instrument to it’s extreme at times that other players would not be capable of
doing (or would not think of doing – must be the lateral thinking kicking in).
He will use whatever he needs to bring out an idea or
sound, be it tapping on the metal tuning keys of the congas or the metal rim.
When you get Raju excited, watch out because he will
bring the house down with his superb and exciting ideas and grooves. Well worth
his Indian blood in gold.
Chris Gogerly
Chris also on nylon string guitar is one of the founding
members of Savore and crossed over to Latin music without looking back when
offered the position as guitarist about six years ago.
Chris plays mainly by feel and soaks into the pieces
with a smooth laid back feel enticing and also exciting. Of course if the piece
is up tempo, Chris will accommodate with his improvisation and create some
superb ideas.
Chris has fallen in love with Latin music and (also like
Owen) enjoys composing tunes for the trio.
