2. INTERNATIONALES NEW JAZZ MEETING AUF BURG ALTENA 1971

Rare performances by: Peter Brötzmann Trio, Alan Skidmore Quintet and Michael Osborne, Tomasz Stanko Quintet,  New Jazz Ensemble and Karin Krog, Albert Mangelsdorff Quartet & The Trio (Surman, Phillips, Martin).
Although the sound is not the best - like a bootleg - to my knowledge it is a bootleg - this double LP offers a glimpse into an otherwise insufficiently recorded phase of European Free Jazz .

My appreciation goes to J. for ripping his LPs for me and now then for you - please say thanks to him.

JURE PUKL QUARTET "JAZZ GALLERY - NEW YORK, 2011"

Most of you won't know Jure Pukl. But after you've heard this live recording by his new quartet you will recognise a great new talent!

This post is approved by Jure Pukl himself - my thanks goes to him and Igor.






A CD with this quartet is available at  Storyville and here.







From Jure Pukl official website
"Pukl is one of the most profilic and creative saxophonists of the
younger Slovene jazz generation, Pukl obtained university education
abroad. He studied classical saxophone at the Vienna Music Academy,
and jazz saxophone in Vienna as well as at the Haag Conservatory of
Music. Jure then won a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music,
where he pursued his studies with masters such as Joe Lovano and
George Garzone. He completed his masters degree in music at the Graz
Academy of Music. Throughout his studies Pukl performed and recorded
extensively, being engaged in his own projects, as well as working
with a number of European and foreign jazzmen, such as Maceo Parker,
Esperanza Spalding, Vijay Iyer, Damion Reid, Joe Sanders, Aaron
Goldberg, Marcus Gilmore, Jeremy Pelt, Jamire Williams, Howard Curtis,
Johnatan Blake, Renato Chicco, Bosko Petrovic, Francisco Mela, Miles
Griffith, Aruan Ortiz, Jason Palmer, Mike Janisch and orchestras like
Big Band RTV Slovenia, European Jazz Orchestra, European Movement Jazz
Orchestra, Vienna Saxophone Quartet, Nouvele Cousine and many others.
He has been touring extensively throughout USA, Asia and Europe

music has won him many awards; among others the 2005 first Jury Prize
and Best Composition Audience Award at the Jazzon International Music
Workshop and Festival in Novo mesto, Slovenia. In his auctorial
projects, such as the Virus quintet (receive rave reviews, among
others on the influential AllAboutjazz Web portal) Pukl dedicates
himself to modern interpretations of jazz. What he creates is a unique
type of modern jazz, avantgarde, free jazz and impressionistic
contemporary music performed with a great deal of knowledge and love,
giving prominence to the interplay between band members. He already
published 6 CD’s under his own name. The last one called Abstract
Society was recorded in New York with some of the finest musicians and
got rave reviews all over the globe and features Vijay Iyer, Damion
Reid and Joe Sanders.It has been released by the oldest european

ERICH KLEINSCHUSTER SEXTET & JOHN SURMAN "WIEN, JUNE 1969"

Erich Kleinschuster maybe isn't well know outside Austria and Germany but he's a musician who's played with many better known musicians.

From 1968 up to 1971/72 he made several studio recordings. Most of them were never released. And the two double CDs which were issued in 2005/07 in Austria only dissapeared soon after the release.

Among the featured guests were Dusko Goykovich, Clifford Jordan, Joe Henderson, Karin Krog, Charles Tolliver, Phil Woods, Slide Hampton, Art Farmer, Carmell Jones, Carl Drewo and John Surman...




Robert Politzer, trumpet, flugelhorn
Erich Kleinschuster, trombone

Recorded June 13, 1969 at Austrophon Studio, Vienna (unreleased studio session).

NOTE: Most collectors list this as June 13 1968, with Rudolf Hansen on bass.
However, the correct details from a copy of the original session log in the possession of a collector,  gives the correct date and personnel as above.
