Excerpt
from the booklet:
Initially at the workshops with the BERLIN CONTEMPORARY
JAZZ ORCHESTRA founded in 1988 with the artistic goal of "performing
new works by contemporary jazz composers and making them ready
for recording" - I usually worked with pieces by other musicians
such as Misha Mengelberg, Kenny Wheeler, Carla Bley and Willem
Breuker. My own work as a composer and arranger strongly benefited
from the insight and experience gained.
This time - presumptuously, but with the encouraging support
of friends and colleagues - I used the 1993 workshop to concentrate
exclusively on my own pieces. Having made that decision then
it seemed natural to integrate my trio of more than twenty
years standing with Evan Parker and Paul Lovens into the band,
thus benefiting from the rich material and the strong foundation
we have built up over the years. The long-standing duo with
Aki and Ino forms the ideal contrast in this constellation.
The wind section was made up of old comrades-in-arms such
as Henry Lowther, Thomas Heberer, Walter Gauchel and Utz Zimmermann
who have been around more or less since the beginning, and
also a group of younger musicians - most of them from Berlin
- who joined us for the first time.
The six pieces selected for this production are from the period
1983-1993 and vary strongly in form, structure and content.
