king ubu Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 Seems Bumi Fian has left us on January 5, much too young. (I got the news off Austrian radio, so it's reliable.) He was a great trumpet player and long-time member of Matthias Rüegg's Vienna Art Orchestra. Quote
mikeweil Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 Much too young indeed! RIP. I saw him twice with the VAO - he was bad! and a great high note squealer! Quote
king ubu Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Posted February 20, 2006 A partial concert recording of Fian's quintet with Clemens Salesny (as,bcl) from last night can be heard here for the coming week: http://www.radiofrance.fr/listen.php?pr=rt...probablement.rm France Musiques: Le jazz, probablement (Dimanche 19 février, minuit) Le quintette du trompettiste Bumi Fian, avec Clemens Salesny (saxophone alto, clarinette basse), Clemens Wenger (piano), Bernhard Osanna (contrebasse) & Thomas Froschauer (batterie), enregistré le 14 mai 2005 au festival Intönne à Diersbach (Autriche). Pretty nice band, I must add! What a pity about Fian Quote
