Heiner Stadler

[slide_advantage_redoux]

I came across an odd LP while organizing and sorting this collection. It is called Brains on Fire and it is under the name Heiner Stadler. The label is The Musical Heritage Society.

On "The Fugue #2 - take one" and "Heidi":

Jimmy Owens

Joe Farrell

Garnett Brown

Don Friedman

Barre Phillips

Joe Chambers

On "All Tones":

Tyrone Washington

Heiner Stadler

Reggie Workman

Lenny White

Any thoughts on this release/composer? I have been so busy organizing these LPs that I haven't taken time to play anything yet.

Ha! Funny that MHS would've re-released this.

Originally on Labor records - German bandleader and composer.

Outside jazz charts with hints of classical avant-garde

is probably the best way to describe it. I think it's one of his best,

if not, the best recording of his.

Heiner Stadler is definitely a cat worth checking out.

If you ever come across this one, carpe diem:

Featuring Thad Jones, Georges Adams and Lewis, Stanley Cowell, Reggie Workman, Lennie White (sic), and not a cliche in sight.

.... and not a cliche in sight.

... not on any of his recordings. Stadler's musical vision is a totally unique brand of Third Stream, in some way, but with a lot more meat to it.

Jim's right - that Tribute to Monk and Bird is a gas!
