Tony Pusey Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 And there was me thinking that Bethlehem was under the nominal control of the Palestinian Authority, but Jazzis living in Israel must know better, or have they diverted the wall, er, security barrier again?

J.A.W. Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Two brilliant jazz items added today: KOLLER, HANS ~ KUNSTKOPFINDIANER (MOST PERFECT SOUND EDITION) Austrian saxophonist, composer and bandleader Hans Koller was one of the most important European jazz musicians and one of the forefathers of the European modern jazz movement. This is his most legendary album (recorded 1974) and for years an impossible to find rarity among collectors. The quintet includes some of the most important European jazz players: German pianist Wolfgang Dauner (who is also one of the European jazz giants), Polish violin virtuoso Zbigniew Seifert (whose untimely death at a very young age prevented him from achieving the status of the greatest jazz violinist ever), superb Polish drummer Janusz Stefanski and Austrian bass genius Adelhard Roidinger. Together they play some of the best European jazz ever recorded, which can be described as free melodic sketches and structures. The music was composed by the quintet members (as each of them is also a gifted composer in addition to being an exceptional instrumentalist) and is full of passion, lofty inspiration and pleasurable sophistication. The German MPS label, which was active in the 1960's and 1970's, was the first and most important independent European jazz label (before ECM, Enja, Steeplechase and scores of others), setting incredible high standards both for the musical contents and the revolutionary audiophile sound-recording quality. This album is essential to every jazz enthusiast on earth! KOLLER, HANS / FREE SOUND ~ PHOENIX (MOST PERFECT SOUND EDITION) Hans Koller was the most internationally famous Austrian jazz musician. Born in 1921, he was active on the European scene since the mid-1940's, playing mostly jazz modeled on then contemporary American jazz. However by the mid-1950's Koller already established a new European jazz vocabulary, like some of his pioneering European peers: Lars Gullin in Sweden, Krzysztof Komeda in Poland, Martial Solal in France and many others. By the end of 1950's Koller almost completely removed himself from the musical scene, devoting his life to painting, which was his alter-ego vocation. Only a decade later, when the free jazz movement started to spread in Europe, he returned to active performing and recording, finding this new style challenging enough for him to contribute his input. This album, recorded 1972, marks his return to full-time jazz duties and is a pivotal step not only in his personal career, but also in the entire European free jazz movement. Koller clearly defines the basic difference in approach to free jazz between the American "school", which is highly emotional, wild and often purposely excessively chaotic and extremist, and the European "school", which is more subdued, elegant, delicate and firmly connected to melodic structures. The entire quartet - sax / piano / bass / drums - (with three musicians much younger that the leader) performs music composed mostly by Koller and bassist Roidinger, which retains enough melodic contents to be coherent, but adds incredible intensity and tension. A true must for serious jazz connoisseurs. ===================== Have Fun! I didn't know these recordings had Bethlehem links... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
