Clunky Posted March 25, 2004 Report Posted March 25, 2004 Picked this up on 2 LP the other day ( it has a track not on the CD) Its very good indeed. Sound quality is fantastic and playing excellent. Don't know a whole lot about any of the players but this is a winner. Th e whole thing is well programmed. I usually avoid compilations but this is highly recommended. Quote
Gary Posted March 26, 2004 Author Report Posted March 26, 2004 Thanks Adrian (it looks like its just me & you on this one ). You've tipped me over the edge - I'll order it today. How did you find out about this one ? I heard a track on Gilles Petersons show from Wednesday. Quote
Claude Posted March 26, 2004 Report Posted March 26, 2004 (edited) Thanks for the information. This is a good complement to the recent MPS reissues by Koller, Pauer, Dauner etc. German/austrian jazz at it's best. Detailed information and soundclips (2 minutes for every track) are available here: http://www.sonarkollektiv.de/releases/SK019CD/ The same label also released "Forum 60", a compilation of jazz recordings from the east german Amiga label, and a Polish jazz sampler.

king ubu Posted March 26, 2004 Report Posted March 26, 2004 This has been discussed or mentioned someplace else on the board. Here you can find a bit of information on Hans Koller. He appears on this great Oscar Pettiford album: Joe Haider, the Kühn brothers and Fritz Pauer are pretty well-known names around here. I got an itching feeling that this might be the next one I'm going to order despite my famous buying freeze... ubu Quote
Clunky Posted March 26, 2004 Report Posted March 26, 2004 How did you find out about this one ? Impulse buy, saw it in Fopp, I was attracted to hear more Koller also its was on vinyl and I have been having great fun from my new turntable/phonostage. Quote

couw Posted March 26, 2004 Report Posted March 26, 2004 this is a compilation from the Wewerka CDs, found here I still need to find out how to get my mits on these CDs Quote
Late Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 It's very good indeed. Sound quality is fantastic and playing excellent. ... The whole thing is well programmed. I usually avoid compilations but this is highly recommended. Playing this right now, and it is a brilliant compilation, perhaps one of the best compilations I've purchased. Some stunning Benny Bailey trumpet solos with Joe Haider's orchestra. My guess is that a lot of the Americans on this board have (so far) missed out on this. Don't! Not only is the music impressive, the sound is fantastic — no, amazing! Really. And, for $14.99, it's a relative bargain at over 73 minutes of music. Check it out! A list of Wewerka titles currently available from you-know-who. Quote
Gary Posted October 21, 2004 Author Report Posted October 21, 2004 Yep - a great CD , I still play this regularly. Quote
DrJ Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 Hey, this looks cool! Thanks for the heads up. If anyone now remembers (it was what, 18 or 19 Blindfold Tests ago!) I was able to put together the first Blindfold Test disc and it focused on jazz from around the world, mostly outside the U.S. and the U.K. I have become a huge fan of some of the great Polish artists and so I'm very keen to hear this stuff. I just friggin' placed an order with The Bastards and wish I'd seen this before doing so! Quote
Late Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 The "partner" set to Forum West, entitled Formation 60, can be heard here. I don't know if it's officially out-of-print, but it looks like it can still be purchased Stateside. Quote
sidewinder Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 (edited) Up again with this thread. This CD is friggin' fantastic. 'Hymnus for che' features a wonderful group and great performance by Benny Bailey - what a discovery. I wonder how you get hold of those individual Wewerka discs?

Claude Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 Maybe just ask the label Wewerka http://www.wewerka-online.de/Website_engli...logues_4_1.html Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 Dusty had these for a time and even had a special on them(?). Today's selection is a bit more limited b@$+@^D$ The two Pauer's - 'Beat the Beat' and 'The Rambler' are a couple of fantastic piano trio sets. Makes that later day 70's Pauer "Blues..." on MPS look dim. :tup Also recommended is the Ronnie Ross. And the comp 'Night Bounce' has a rollicking short take of "Cleopatra's Needle" with some Wes-ish comping. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 Makes that later day 70's Pauer "Blues..." on MPS look dim. :tup Really? Coincidentally, I received from Mr. Tanno the 'Blues Inside Out' title yesterday and enjoyed the first spin. First exposure to Pauer....guess I'll have to check out one of those non-"dim" ones. Quote

clifford_thornton Posted May 26, 2005 Report Posted May 26, 2005 This does look pretty good. I assume the source material is from NDR Jazz Workshops? That ZoKoSo is a great little record, I might add. As for Dauner, he's a friggin' nut! Anybody here ever heard that record on Calig? Makes the Bob James ESP sound like cocktail music... Quote

You may consider to call them up. Very friendly lady with a Bavarian accent puts you through to someone in the know. BTW, these are NOT the NDR jazz workshops AFAIK. I wonder what the common source of this material is as the Mangelsdorff album is actually the same as Now Jazz Ramwong (CBS). Quote

sidewinder Posted May 27, 2005 Report Posted May 27, 2005 Did I tell you about those Dutton Vocalion Brit-jazz reissues yet? Quote
king ubu Posted May 27, 2005 Report Posted May 27, 2005 Did I tell you about those Dutton Vocalion Brit-jazz reissues yet? ← I think I dimly remember that threa(t/d) but quick-mindedly decided to ignore it... I have almost succeeded... Quote
king ubu Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 Glad to report that Amazon came through on this order, finally... the ML Williams is cool (and obviously available again - it was not available from any Amazon when I wanted to buy it a year or two ago). Now sidewinder can be relieved taht I also got the Forum West disc, even though my credit card ordered it without my knowledge... maybe I should look at it as the property of my credit card, and look at the Williams as a token of gratitude from my credit card? Wierd things happen, I tell you! Haven't given the Forum West a spin, but read the introductory part of the liners... pity they weren't able to hire a professional translator, otherwise it all looks very nice. And after having read part of the liners, I wonder how anyone could believe at all that these recordings have anything to do with any radio sessions... they come from Mr. Wewerka's (what's his name again? Or is that the name?) private vault of recordings. PS: What/who is "dutton" again? Quote
