brownie Posted August 11, 2007 Report Posted August 11, 2007 (edited) Stumbled upon this Joe Zawinul CD 'Mauthausen. Had never heard about it. The brand new copy was on sale for a few euros. This is what AMG says about it: Mauthausen mauthausen - album reviews A little-known anomaly in the Joe Zawinul discography, Mauthausen was a multimedia event in which the Austrian-born composer/keyboardist tried to come to terms with some of the darkest hours in his country's history. It is a troubling, at times eloquent electronic tone poem that depicts life within the concentration camp near the small Austrian town of Mauthausen, where approximately 120,000 people lost their lives between the years 1938 and 1945. Anticipating limited appeal for such a project, ESC released the album only in Austria and a handful of other Central European countries. Originally presented in the camp itself in 1998 with holograms, lighting effects, and 50 speakers placed around the audience, Mauthausen is mostly a one-man show on CD; Zawinul commanding his symphonic arsenal of keyboards, with occasional narrations in German by actor Frank Hoffmann. As have a number of recent Zawinul albums, this one opens with a deep, moody pedal point in the bass, but the mood stays dark and threatening most of the way through -- a stark contrast to the bubbly, life-affirming rhythms that Zawinul had been pumping out on his jazz/world music recordings of this time. Once in a great while, a semblance of the Zawinul groove breaks out, but always in a subdued way. Mixed in are collages of storm-troopers, trains carrying the prisoners to the camp, prison doors slamming, commands of the guards, and other sound effects from wartime. As in Zawinul's symphonic poem Stories of the Danube, echoes from his jazz past turn up; this time, we hear spliced-in recordings of "Walking on a Nile" from Zawinul's Dialects. and "The Orphan" from Weather Report's 8:30 album. The latter insert is particularly appropriate, with Wayne Shorter's tenor sax and a children's chorus shouting "No More! No More!" contributing beacons of hope before Zawinul's final hymn of benediction. Obviously, for non-German speakers, some of the meaning of the piece will be lost; the booklet contains no English translations other than a brief history of the camp and the titles of the selections. But the inhumane, brooding atmosphere of the camp comes through powerfully enough in the music via a stereo CD. Although Mauthausen is not something one is likely to pull off the shelf too often, it is essential for those who want to understand all of Zawinul's long musical odyssey, and it deserves a wider release. ~ Richard S.

mikeweil Posted August 11, 2007 Report Posted August 11, 2007 Visited the Red Octopus store during our anniversary vacation week in Vienna to buy the second volume of the Erich Kleinschuster Sextet with guests Art Farmer, Jimmy Heath, and Slide Hampton: Their store is nice with an excellent selection, but not cheap. Bought several reduced items at Extraplatte: The Herbie Nichols Project - Dr. Cyclops' Dream (Soul Note) Tom Varner - Long Night Big Day (New World Records) Don Braden - The New Hang (High Note) ... and, most importantly, a rare and hard to find CD with organ works by Jehan Titelouze played by Jean-Charles Ablitzer on a recently restored organ at Finistère, Brittany (audiophile recording on Harmonic Records, sounding terrific!) (Titelouze was the first French organ composer of note - the more surprising it is there is no CD devoted to his works available.) A visit at Vienna's prime classical store, Gramola, unearthed: Handel, Harpsichord works Vol. 3 - Sophie Yates (Chaconne) Darius Milhaus, Organ works - George Baker (Solstice) Quote

mikelz777 Posted August 19, 2007 Report Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) The Best Of Chet Baker Sings: This was a nice find at a Half Price Books store. Anouar Brahem-Le Pas Du Chant Noir: This one popped up randomly as a suggestion on Amazon based on my past browsing/purchase history. It had unusual instrumentation (aud, piano and accordian) and I listened to the samples and really enjoyed them. I'm looking forward to hearing this CD in full. Tord Gustavsen Trio-Being There: I enjoyed the first two Tord Gustavsen Trio's CDs and have little doubt I'll enjoy the third of the trilogy. I love the drummer's contributions on snare and high hat.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 20, 2007 Report Posted August 20, 2007 Well, two orders turned up this morning. From Dusty Groove a couple of LPs Paul Bryant – Burnin’ – Pacific Jazz mono (sorry, no pic on the web) I’m quite pissed off with myself at buying this, because I already had a copy! But it had no sleeve, so it didn’t get out much. I expect, now I’ve got a sleeve, it’ll get much more frequent airings (yes, I’m consoling myself). Howard Roberts - Color him funky - Capitol orig mono This was a real bargain at da barstids, and as it has Paul Bryant on organ, I snapped it up. It’s the only album I’ve ever bought by Roberts. Quite probably I shan’t feel the need to buy another. But now I have everything Bryant ever recorded! And a CD I had this before, but I’m pleased to have upgraded to a CD. It’s probably my favourite GM McGriff (and nearly my favourite McGriff of all) – with Conrad Lester on alto, what else would I be saying? And from Amazon.com Now this is really interesting. I’m about three quarters through disc 1. This is VERY restrained jump music which sounds to me like it might have been a big influence on the early R&B jump band leaders like Jordan, Liggins and Milton (but they weren’t restrained). Very enjoyable! MG Quote
