PREIS DER DEUTSCHEN SCHALLPLATTENKRITIK: JIM BLACK TRIO

Die CD Jim Black Trio: Reckon. Jim Black, Elias Stemeseder, Thomas Morgan. INTAKT CD 334 ist mit dem Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik ausgezeichnet worden (Bestenliste 2/2020).
Die Jury schreibt: «Das ist die Neuerfindung des Klaviertrios aus dem Geiste des Instant Composing. Störrische HipHop-Rhythmen, klapperndes Schlagwerk, dann wieder metronomische Präzision: Die Trommeln Jim Blacks öffnen Räume der Imagination. Der Pianist Elias Stemeseder entpuppt sich als ein Multistilist, er surft durch Romantik, Minimalismus oder Bebop-Anleihen , und selbst in freien Passagen schafft er eine Atmosphäre kommunikativer Vertrautheit. Wo andere mit ihrem Bass nur Lücken füllen würden, legt Thomas Morgan einen roten Faden für die Improvisation aus. Aus bloßen Versuchsanordnungen entstehen so integrale Kostbarkeiten.» (Für die Jury: Peter Kemper)

50 YEARS BARRY GUY LONDON JAZZ COMPOSERS ORCHESTRA

The adventure began in 1970. Some of the most innovative musicians of a new generation centred around the London
bassist and composer Barry Guy: pioneers who were developing a kind of music in Europe which abolished the distinctions
between Modern Jazz and New Music, between improvisation and advanced compositional techniques. Beginning
as a collective endeavour, over the years it evolved into an independent orchestra, buoyed by Barry Guy's charisma and
his talent for gathering outstanding musicians around him, integrating their individuality into his compositional forms.

Intakt Records produced many of Barry Guy's greatest works with the London Jazz Composers Orchestra and has
reissued the most important early works. The LJCO CD collection contains some of the most significant, as well as the
most beautiful and touching, orchestral works of our time. The fiftieth anniversary commemorations aim to bring some
of these musical treasures back into the spotlight, so that this music, which has already influenced the work of generations
of musicians can benefit many more listeners.
