Andy Lumpp · Adelhard Roidinger - Parusia II (February 8, 2022 Nabel Records)

For many years, Adelhard Roidinger has been involved in developing new sounds based on micro-tonality. With his 7-string tenor bass and state-of-the-art electronics, he has created an exciting and wide-ranging musical dialogue in partnership with pianist Andy Lumpp, who, with his classic touch and extended harmonies, turns in a performance truely typical of his work.

The five spontaneously composed pieces included on this album showcase a new kind of audio experience, neither free jazz nor within the mainstream tradition.

This CD presents the second part of the May 2019 recording session. Jazz music with unmistakably European roots!

Klaus Ignatzek Trio - Airballoon (Remastered) January 31, 2022 Nabel Records

The Romanian singer Anca Parghel, who sadly died much too early, was one of the most remarkable voices in European jazz. Her voice is remarkable for its sureness of intonation, fantastic range (four octaves) and diverse shades in her expressive possibilities. In addition, she had an exuberant temperament.

At the beginning of her international career, she toured the European jazz clubs in the late 80s/early 90s with the German pianist Klaus Ignatzek in various formations. In 1992 she recorded the studio production Airballoon with standards and compositions by Klaus Ignatzek.

On Airballoon, Anca Parghel interprets jazz standards in a very personal and incomparable way.

She pays her masterly reminiscence to the great ladies of jazz. Anca Parghel swings, scats and interprets heartrending ballads - live she infects the audience and fellow musicians with her exuberant cheerfulness.

Ekkehard Wölk Trio - Pictures in Sounds (January 31, 2022 Nabel Records)

This new trio CD by EKKEHARD WÖLK consists entirely of his earlier compositions. His experience in the field of multistylistic jazz is what lies at the heart of the compositions and arrangements and also the sense of togetherness heard in the band’s improvisational performances.

The trio, having played together over a considerable number of years, successfully manage to connect concepts of modern jazz (tonal-bound or free collective) in a context in which influences from other musical styles are convincingly mingled.

Many of the compositions feature extra-musical ideas and images which appear in the compositional texture and are developed in an improvisationally arresting style. This creates, particularly in a live concert setting, a “jazz programme music” inspired by classic models, seeking to combine poetic musical sequences in the mind of the listener.

One feature of the band’s tried-and-tested concept is to create ever more open sound spaces within the context of the individual compositions, using free improvisation to open up spaces in which the listener's individual associative powers can be released on hearing this music.

This eclectic style is combined with the special powerful vitality and rhythmic finesse of “contemporary jazz”.
