king ubu Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Track 13 - 'Top Secret'– Barbara Dennerlein. From 'Hot Stuff'(Enja) Never liked her - no real organ sound there, all too clean (and I don't dig her electronic extensions of the organ) - sorry. Ok, now on to disc 2... and hopefully soon on to BFT #61 as well! Wow - I thought she was pretty big in Germany/Austria/Switzerland ! She seems to be big in Germany, don't know about Austria and not really about Switzerland either.... she once played the prestigious Berne jazz festival with Rhoda Scott in a special ladies ogun night, of course Rhoda smokes! No way for me Dennerlein comes even remotely close. But then this is just my opinion, and being of that opinion, I don't really care to know if she's "big" here or not... Quote

Niko Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Track 13 - 'Top Secret'– Barbara Dennerlein. From 'Hot Stuff'(Enja) Never liked her - no real organ sound there, all too clean (and I don't dig her electronic extensions of the organ) - sorry. Ok, now on to disc 2... and hopefully soon on to BFT #61 as well! Wow - I thought she was pretty big in Germany/Austria/Switzerland ! not so sure; my impression is that the big media attention, now that mangelsdorff is gone (who was widely respected though few knew his music i guess) lies on till broenner, klaus doldinger and on (to varying degrees) jazz based entertainers like goetz alsmann, roger cicero and helge schneider... [schneider is the only one of these five that i can identify with at all, doesn't play jazz most of the time (unless he is pissed at the audience and plays what he calls "punishment jazz", but i always like to hear him on piano or saxophone; this one could be titled )]; ten years ago, dennerlein seemed to be up there with them but then it seemed broenner took her place (the position in public that's reserved for a jazz instrumentalist under the age of 60) Edited January 14, 2009 by Niko Quote
king ubu Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 ah well, Brönner... he's a mighty fine trumpet player, I once heard a complete set with a classic late-Chet accomopaniment of just guitar and bass (Dieter Ilg on bass, some scandinavian guitar player, Leonhufvud or something like that, never heard of him but he's fine, too, Ilg is great of course!). In such a setting, he can do some nice things, but his usual pop-jazz stuff has no appeal for me, at all. Quote
