“Years Of A Trilogy” by the Henning Wolter Trio is like an exciting short vacation of the most exquisite kind - full of experiences and adventures, exciting but still relaxing!

Musicians: Lajos Dudas cl, Toto Blanke g, Ali Haurand b, Albert Mangelsdorff tb, Tommy Vig vb, Attila Zoller g, A.O. Artists

Vom Swing bis hin zum Free-Jazz ist hier wirklich alles enthalten. Dudas ist in der Musik zu Hause, nicht in einer Stilrichtung. So abwechslungsreich wie das Leben, und hervorragend gespielt!

Musicians: Muneer B. Fennel cello,voc,ballaphon Jean-Paul Bourelly g, John Blake v, Dwight Adams tp,fl-h, John Betsch dr, Toru Tenda alto-fl,b-fl,Japanese & piccolo Flute

With the album „An Encounter with Higher Forces“, Muneer B. Fennell and his Rhythm String Band have created a unique intellectual and highly sophisticated work of art which stands out from the mass of jazz publications with its originality.

Musicians: Chico Freeman ts,ss, Franco Ambrosetti tp, Reto Weber perc, Muthuswamy Balasubramoniam Mridangam, Djamchid Chemirani zarb, Mustapha Tettey Addy african perc

Das Percussion Orchester bildet eine Grundlage bei der auch schon mal Steeldrums ond Gesang zum Einsatz kommen. Darüber spielen die beiden doch aus recht unterschiedlichen Stilistiken kommenden Bläser ihre Soli. Da es keinerlei Harmonieinstrumente gibt, sind diese völlig ungebunden und nutzen diese Freiheit auch voll aus. Freeman und Ambrosetti interagieren hervorragend, auch wenn Ambrosetti eher aus dem Hardbop kommt und freeman freier improvisiert, was auch deuttlich zu hören ist, haben sich die beiden viel zu sagen, und das mit mitreißenden Rhytmen im Rücken, Klasse!

Musicians: Johannes Mössinger p, Wolfgang Lackerschmid vib

“Joana’s Dance” is valuable album with the brilliant interplay and exciting interaction of two great musicians. Vibraphone and piano blend into a natural unity of sound and rhythm thanks to the balanced modes of playing of Wolfgang Lackerschmid and Johannes Mössinger. A feeling of well-being is guaranteed - playful, relaxed and hip!

Musicians: Marion Brown as, Michael Möhring g,berimbau,balafon,perc, Peter Krug b, Bernd Nawothnig dr, Wolfgang Kropp congas,perc

After a break of several years without a release, the American alto saxophonist set off on an – for him – unusual path with the ensemble JAZZ CUSSION. ECHOES OF BLUE is Brown’s first (although it is hard to believe) purely standard album ranging between ballads and Latin classics.

Musicians: Lee Konitz as, kenny wheeler tp,fl-h, Frank Wunsch p, Gunnar Plümer b

Kenny Wheeler is one of the jazz trumpet players who have a very lyrical way of expression. On this recording he found in saxophone player Lee Konitz someone who is speaking a similar langugage. Together with Frank Wunsch und Gunnar Plumer they are celebrating classical jazz of ist best.

Musicians: Anke Helfrich p, Johannes Weidenmueller b, Jochen Rueckert dr, Mark Turner sax

The fruit of all these experiences can now be heard in this well-rounded, multifaceted production in which Anke Helfrich cultivates the tradition of an integrated piano trio with humor, occasional program-musical accents and dazzling artistry.

Musicians: Lajos Dudas cl, Philipp van Endert g, Leonard Jones b, Kurt Billker dr, Jochen Büttner perc, Karl Berger vib

"Talk of the Town" – the clarinetist Lajos Dudas presents his own, very intimate and extremely intensive style, ”the latest and hottest in the city,” from his native metropolis of Budapest.
