mspepper Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Hello, all! I'm about to release the fifth album (2 disc set) in the Unreleased Art Pepper series on Widow's Taste. It includes both sets of the concert in Stuttgart on May 25th, 1981. The music is sublime. I was there, but my memory bank is empty. I have no photos of this concert featuring Milcho Leviev, Bob Magnusson, Carl Burnett. It sounds like a big concert hall. Was anybody there? Does anybody know where the concert was held? Any memories whatsoever? Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) Very honored to provide what little information I can come up with so here is what I posted in early March here in a related thread: The May, 1981 issue of the German jazz mag JAZZ PODIUM had a note in its concert agenda stating that the 25/05 concert would be held in the BEETHOVENSAAL of the LIEDERHALLE (a somewhat smaller hall inside that Liederhalle venue that was most often used for this type of concert. In fact other - larger - halls of the Liederhalle would really be a bit overwhelming for anything but a symphonic orchestra or otherwise quite large event). The same issue of May has a 2-page feature summing up the career of Art Pepper but though I've searched high and low through the subsequent issues of 1981 strangely enough no review of the concert was to be found! Sorry I cannot provide any other input (though I am a local). Maybe you might want to contact Mr WOLFRAM KNAUER at the Jazz Institut Darmstadt. He is the curator of the #1 public jazz archives in Germany (that also hold the archives/estates of several German jazz personalities, including those of a local jazz photographer - in fact my former boss's brother - who might have attended the event and taken pics): http://www.jazzinstitut.de/ Good luck!
