Spontooneous Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 When it comes to alphorn players, I wish they'd stop stealing Arkady Shildkloper's shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Yup, Shilkloper was what I thought of reading the thread title. That lady - jazz? Hell no! Stupid crap... I once saw her do a "song" in a TV comedy show, she goofed quite a bit and she's oh well... just another bad entertainment character. No way I'd call this jazz. If you'd be interested in some kind of jazz/swiss folk fusion, I'd recommend searching for something by Hans Hassler (on Intakt records), Töbi Tobler (check my blog for some), or Roland Schildknecht (who takes part in various projects, but had an important - at least for Swiss jazz - album out in the 80s with a band called "Schildpatt", the album was called "Bunju" and is on CD). Hassler plays accordion and is no jazz (but an improvising musician), while both Tobler and Schildknecht play the hackbrett (hammered dulcimer). Tobler more folksy, but with lots of improvisation and some astonishing ideas, while Schildknecht does many things, from "salonmusik" to jazz to electronic/ambient (of the good kind, in my opinion, with quite some illustruous folks collaborating, including Barbara Dennerlein).

cliffpeterson Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 hans kennel used one or more alphorns on a couple recordings on the HatArt (now HatHut) label 15-20 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I vaguely remember some German freejazz great using one in a concert - Günter "Baby" Sommer ? Can't remember ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted O'Reilly Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Somewhere on my shelves, among the 3,000 or so alphabetically-filed jazz CDs, is a pretty good jazz alphorn record but damned if I can remember the guys name! He's Austrian, rather than Swiss, and it's a bit of a bogus alphorn, because he's added keys, giving it more notes than the seven of the natural horn. Sounds like a combination of a french horn and trombone. Can anyone jog my memory as to who it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can check him out on his website and at MySpace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, that's not it. I think this guy's usual horn is tenor sax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 hm, tenor? there some swiss trombone players also making use of alphorn (roberth morgenthaler would be one, I think), but tenor and from austria? not one of wolfgang puschnig's projects?

Ted O'Reilly Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Okay, I had to search from A to G, but there it is: "Alfons Gaisbauer und Band". (TMK 010892). Not Austrian, but not Swiss, either. The label's TMK Musikvertrieb, Sebastianstrasse 141, D-50735 Koln. Anyone in Deutschland know Alfons Gaisbauer? CD bandmates include Felix Astor, drums; Dietmer Fuhr, bass; Michael Weiss-Wittig, piano; Klaus Osterloh/Martin Auer, trumpet; Jens Neufang, saxes; Bjoern Strangman, trombone. (All liner notes in German. I know enough German to get into trouble, not enough to get out of trouble, so I'll avoid any bad translation). I'd put this at about 10 years old, but it doesn't appear in Lord 6.0, published around 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a picture of the French horn section on their website (Alfons Gaisbauer is on the left). You can read some (German) info about the alpine horn player Alfons Gaisbauer here. Some brass and reeds players of his group are/were members of the WDR Big Band. You can see them on the website of the WDR Big Band. btw, I never noticed Alfons Gaisbauer and his band.
