  4. Hi Ernst Do you think you could provide a new rip in stereo, even without editing track by track it would be ok for me. But perhaps i'm the only one who care about it?

  5. oh yes Ernst it would be great, and once again if it is too much to edit track by track, it is ok for me side by side. You can even send it to me directly and I can edit and re-post it if you want.

  10. Hi Ernst. I appreciate the recent evening homework that you gives: discovering Michael Sell's music. I knew the man but didn't really took time to listen to his music and it is a real and pleasant discovery. This one provide once again sophisticated compositions without being too hermetic. I thought that I read somewhere that he was not so satisfied by his work on the Free Jazz Group Wiesbaden? Am I right?

  11. Hi Correct Silence, it would be more correct to say he wanted to have more control over the (his) musical output.
    Over the years he became a conposer only.
    Only about two or three years ago he started to play trumpet again. The main reason was his grand-daughter.
    She started to play trumpet as well and he wanted to give a good personal example - and he rediscovered the pleasure to play an instrument.
    When I asked him about a reissue he was quite content. So I assume that the musical merits of the FJGW weren't totally lost on him even after many years being a composer only.
    Not at least Malte Burba - his trumpet player of choice for his compositions - did his job very well.
    It somehow boils down to Sell's personal preferences. Surely the exposure to the music of Bach and also protestant spiritual music during his infancy shaped his path more as he grew older.
