Excerpt
from the booklet:
ALEXANDER VON SCHLIPPENBACH, a Free Jazzer from the outset
and, back in 1966, co-founder of the most famous big band
in Free Improvisation, the Globe Unity Orchestra, has always
been attracted by large formations and, in particular, the
possibilities of improvisation within the context of an orchestra.
(...)
SCHLIPPENBACH and RIVERS, who, in the 60´s, has worked with
Miles Davis and Cecil Taylor amongst others, didn´t actually
know each other before rehearsals began. And still, apart
from sharing an understanding of the relationship between
composition and improvisation,, both have been appointed as
music educators. (...) In 1992 SCHLIPPENBACH was given an
appointment of lecturer for ensemble playing at the Art School
in Berlin. The graduating class of the HdK, at that time,
consisted of highly motivated young musicians, who had not
only developed an interest in SCHLIPPENBACH´s jazz-arrangements,
but were also performing with him as the IMPROVISORS POOL.
On the initiative of drummer JOHANNES BOCKHOLT-DAMS the IMPROVISORS
POOL invited SAM RIVERS along to a workshop. (...)
After a short and tough period of rehearsing, they concluded
the workshop with a presentation, which was an impressive
testimony to SCHLIPPENBACH´s free-jazz oriented orchestral
work together with the IMPROVISORS POOL and which was, at
the same time, inspired by the spiritual power of the unshackled
soloist SAM RIVERS. (...) |
