TRAILBLAZER –WEGBEREITER NEUE 2 CD und 2 DVD von

GUNTER HAMPEL EUROPEAN-NEW YORK QUINTET

birth 12o311-2CD-2DVD

Gunter Hampel, zweifelos einer der weltweit WICHTIGSTEN jazz musiker,

komponisten, instru-mentalisten, bandleader der aus der deutschen

jazzscene hervorgegangen ist und auch in den usa entscheidenden

einfluß auf die entwicklung der jazzmusik nimmt,

(beweise :seine seit dem 8th of july 1969 auf dem musikerlabel birth records erschienenen über 16o meister-werke als LPs,CDS u DVDs) die durch die bank höchstwerte an musikalischen ereignissen , sternstunden des jazz, auch jederzeit von der jazzkritik als entscheidende jazz meisterwerke bezeichnet , weltweit einen ruf besitzen, der denen von US firmen wie blue note,impulse,esp, atlantic u a musikalisch und jazzgeschichtlich nicht nachsteht.
Hampel, der auf grund seiner fähigkeiten 1969 den sprung nach new york wagte und dort eine der führendsten rollen im erfinden von neuen strukturen und jazz material übernahm und weltweit ein neues repertoire von kompositionen für improvisatoren weiterentwickelte, hat in seinen bands de creme de la creme des jazz , in europa wie in den usa beschäftigt, nicht als star addierungen sondern als integrierte jazz ensemble mitglieder, gleich welchen alters oder herkunft in seine musik ,seine ensembles eingebaut, die auch immer aus jungen vielversprechenden talenten bestand. sein geschick und erfahrung hat z b in seiner erstproduktion auf birth , so unterschiedliche meister+ ensemble spieler und solisten wie jeanne lee voc, anthony braxton reeds, willem breuker reeds, arjen gorter b, und den chicagoer über-drummer steve mc call zu aufnahmen zusammen geführt wie birth oo1 THE 8th OF JULY 1969 DIE ZU DEN CREATIVSTEN UND neuen schöpfungen der geschichte des jazz zählen und entscheidende wendungen in den weiteren verlauf der entwicklung des jazz hervorgerufen haben.
vorausgegangen war ebenso die bei SABA/MPS herausgebrachte LP/CD HEARTPLANTS ,eine J.E berendt Produktion in der das GUNTER HAMPEL QUINTET den europäischen neuen jazz als erstkreation EINFÜHRTE MIT EINER BESETZUNG deren mitglieder heute alle zu den altmeistern des deutschen u europäischen jazz geworden sind, manfred schoof,alexander v schlippenbach, buschi niebergall,und pierre courbois drums,oder die bei ESP , new york durch den einfluß von Benny Goodmans einbeziehung der damaligen GUNTER HAMPEL GROUP in seine nationwide ausgestrahlten TV show herbeigeführte erste USA LP Hampels (1966)
Hampel hat ungefähr 3ooo und mehr kompositionen geschrieben, die alle eine kreative ausgangsgrundlage für improvisierende jazzmusiker darstellen, ein nährstoff für eigene improvisations ideen vorgeben und nicht nur die einzelnen musiker antörnen sondern darüberhinaus das einzigartige system der hampelschen TEAMARBEIT vorzeichnet.d.h. es sind nicht kompositionen die für solisten platz hat, sondern seine gnialen werke führen die kollektive TEAMARBEIT herbei, grundlegend, spirituell und kraftvoll und sinnlich zugleich, d.h. der grundlegenden jazzqualität von „body and soul“ beteiligung bei der schaffung von echtem , inspiriertem , originalen jazz. geschichte schreibend. neu. wagemutig und fördernd. für jeden jazzmusiker unentbehrliche grundlagen, großes und großartiges zu leisten, fordernd für junge und willkommen für alte erfahrene. erfrischend für publikum und zuhörer, an kreativen , spontanen ,aus dem augenblich heraus frisch entwickelten jazzvorgängen teilzunehmen. nicht festlegend sondern grundlegend gefestigte qualität.
kein wunder dass sich so ein kreativer gunter hampel frisch und willkommen auf der internationalen jazzscene behauptet, ist er doch ein ständiger jungbrunnen mit neuen , spontanen ideen für musiker und zuhörer,schreiber und radiosender und jazzmagazinen, da ständig neue qualität in den ergebnissen, seiner auftritte , CDs, und DVDs (und LPs) verzeichnet werden, zumal er sein 1969 gegründetes label –birth records– wacker durchhält. es zeigt sich , dass wirklich gute musik auch überlebt ,dass wirkliche kreative qualität auch ein dauerbrenner sein kann. aus new work kommen wertschätzungen wie die des all about jazz ,wie: „gunter hampel continues to be active at jazz leading edge“oder“each new Gunter Hampel CD and DVD are bulletins from the frontline of jazz“
seit 4o jahren gibt hampel aber auch seine jazzkreativität, das jazz improvisieren an kinder weiter und hat einzigartige 3 tages kurse entwickelt,mit denen er kindern, jugendlichen und erwachsenen das improvisieren weitergibt und nun mehr als 45 ooo kindern den weg in die jazzmusik geöffnet hat und sein neuester auftrag in texel, beim dortigen jazzfestival gipfelt in einem workshop der 1ooo kinder in einer woche in improvisations übungen zusammenführen wird und als höhepunkt auf dem jazzfestival präsentiert werden soll.
vor 1o jahren setzte hampel eine idee in die welt des jazz,damals missverstanden aber wie sich herausgestellt hat, ein weiterer geschickter und notwendiger schachzug der ständigen erneuerung in seinem kreativen musikalischen leben. er fand bei diesen workshops talente von solcher vielversprechenden qualität ( z.b. auch den improvisierenden breakdancer prince alegs aus tadchikistan, dass er sich ab dem jahre 2ooo entschloß neben seinen bewährten mitarbeitern eine band aus 17 jährigen zusammenzustellen, und brachte bernd oezsevim drums und johannes schleiermacher ts,bs in seiner band european trio/später mit dem dänischen bassisten andreas lang zu einer „jungen band“ zusammen und nahm sie sehr mutig als seine working group auf die internationalen plattformen, ja er nahm sie sogar mit nach new york und anstatt mit seinen nahmhaften kollegen aus new york aufzutreten, warf er diese junge band auf die internationale szenerie (alles dokumentiert auf birth) und hat nun seit 1o jahren ein herzerfrischendes kollektiv team aufgebaut, das seinesgleichen sucht.welche erfahrungen dahinterstecken, in einem 17 jhrigen bereits zu erkennen, was der als 27 jähriger mal vorzeigen wird,braucht ja nicht weiter unterstrichen zu werden.das was zählt sind die resultate und die begeisterung die aus solch einer band strömt, und die spieler und das publikum erfasst und dem jazz und seinem publikum neue kräfte verleiht.dieser ganz normale gig im b-flat, der hier auf den neuen 2 CD oder 2DVD veröffentlchungen auf birth 12o311 , also v 11.märz 2o12, vorliegen spricht für sich selbst,vom ersten bis zum letzten ton.
wer sich auch für mannschaftsspiel im sport interessiert,weiß dass heute borussia dortmund ein quicklebendiges fussball team entwickelt hat dem zuzusehen freude pur ist. von den beiden DVDs und CDs springt eine gleiche spielfreude ans ohr und ins auge ,ein neues meisterwerk aus den tugenden des jazz entsprungen, frisch , mitreißend und von nachhaltiger tiefe und delikatesse, wie es hampel mit seinen kompositionen und seiner bandleader führung nun seit über 54 jahren gelingt meisterarbeit abzuliefern :gekonnt, beseelt, mitreißend frisch und nachhaltig. aber nicht nur das, hören Sie sich die werke und einspielungen seit 1964 hampels an, die klingen genau so frisch, als seien sie erst heute morgen aufgenommen. es gibt einen begriff dafür : zeitlos. und wer das schafft , mit 75 jahren mit solch einer qualität un d frische und einer solch meisterlichen band so ganz nebenbei ein konzert solcher qualität abzuliefern, beweist dass er das vertrauen seiner zahlreichen fans sich erarbeitet un d verdient hat. unglaublich .aber wahr und real.lebendig.einfach allererste weltklasse. bezugsquelle : email gunthampel@aol.com , auch für bookings o177 26 28 o12 www.gunterhampelmusic.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WILLEM BREUKER dies at 66 in Amsterdam

gunter hampel :  willem breuker: I remember playing 1966 at the Roermond Jazz Festival in the Netherlands. my band had nedley elstak tp, me on bcl,flute and vibrafon , victor kaihatu bass, Loek Dicker piano, and Pierre Courbois dm , 1964 i had my first German band being rated to be the first avantgarde group in Europe to have the potential to initiate a european identity of jazzmusic, with myself on vibes,fl,bcl, manfred schoof tp, alexander v.schlippenbach p,buschie niebergall bass and pierre courbois on drums ( SABA-MPS HEARTPLANTS LP + CD) the ROERMOND FESTIVAL performance was a triumph. while i was packing up a wild looking,heavily bearded , young Willem Breuker made himself known to me and while we started a challenging conversation, he offered me to stay in his fathers house , because i had mentioned, i wanted to stay a few days in amsterdam, to check the dutch jazzscene, which was , like the german jazzscene heavily influenced by my new european jazz music , it was the sixties, we wanted to have our own identity as composers and musicians .so far, european jazz musicians had been copying the latest usa jazzrecords and that was it. no one thought of having the power to get away from this, because that was, what the audiences wanted to hear. they actually came to the concerts to hear the music they knew, from louis armstrong to miles davis. ( that sounds like we have it now again , doesn't it ?) so, the first thing, what willem and me did, arriving at his home, was to unpack our horns and blow some. well that went so good that i hired him right away into my GUNTER HAMPEL GROUP . after a few gigs, nedley elstak and victor kaihatu quit, because the music had gotten too wild for them. but i rather stuck to the evolotionary kick i got , when playing with willem. since i was living in düsseldorf at the time, i was only 1 1/2 hours car ride away from amsterdam and became pretty much, a dutch speaking inhabitant of the amstedam city, i even had a flat there and i started with willem to get involved , same as in germany to organize events, where our new music was the focus. we organized a 3 day and night jazzmarathon to show what power of music we were unleashing and had success in getting money from the government, a prince bernhard stichting  for the entire dutch jazzcommune. and i had moved to antwerp, belgium, because i also had become very active in the french and the belgium jazz scene, getting our NEW THING organized all over europe, i was in italy and left some seeds there. while i was till 1969 very active in performing allover europe , spain,portugal,east germany, poland, CSSR, etc. i had next to my GUNTER HAMPEL GROUP , with Willem, i also hat created a group with GUNTER HAMPEL_MARION BROWN QUARTET with Barre Phillips bass and Steve McCall drums + a very hip ensemble, the group TIME IS NOW  with John McLaughlin , no one knew of him, then,i ran into him in London. so that scenario was sometimes, i played in the morning with Marion Brown in Paris, had an afternoon concert in Antwerp , Belgium and a night concert in Amsterdam with willem. what an active time. one of those days , the GUNTER HAMPEL GROUP was playing at the Comblain la Tour JazzFestival our performance was from 7-8 and while we were performing Benny Goodman was storming the stage with his filming director from the ABC TV USA and Benny was asking me, while we played, if he could record our performance.i stayed cool and asked back, what about a contract."we do this all later" sobut the fact was,Benny Goodman was so bewildered about our playing with 2 bassclarinets. ( i didn't now at that time,  that he already had recorded ,playing bassclarinet 1934 on a disk with Red Norvo. so ABC filmed it. when i went to sign a contract, open air festival- Stan Getz,Gary Burton, Roy HAYNes were in that room and cAME over to tell me, how much they enjoyed our set and what a great band that was, revolutionizing and adding a new way of listening and new images etc...and wherever i looked , smiling faces.AND : benny actually ,a few month later, started his TV on nationwide USA ABC BENNY GOODMAN SHOW with my GUNTER HAMPEL GROUP  and was telling the USA that the jazzmusic is evoluting, because of groups like mine. that saw Bernhard Stolman , who had just founded ESP and i was the first EUROPEAN to be asked to publish a LP on his only avantgarde jazz label in the world (then) ESP 1o42 MUSIC FROM EUROPE when we recorded this, i met my future wife and mother of our 2 great children, Ruomi and Cavana, JEANNE LEE at that recording session, which then influenced my move to NEW YORK in 1969 after we recorded that MASTERPIECE -THE 8TH OF JULY 1969- with Jeanne Lee, Anthony Braxton,WIllem Breuker,Arjen Gorter and Steve McCall in Baarn,NL which is still unsurpassed even today. But until i formed my GALAXIE DREAM BAND in NEW YORK , Willem and me were still involved with my Gunter Hampel GROUP n performig all over europe , we had sometimes John Tchicai  playing with us, until 1972. 1997 we did a reunion of our Group at the MUSIC TRIENNALE in cologne, and i have a great tape from that concert ready to be published, whenever there will be the demand and the money. on june 23 rd , 2o1o i had a great concert with my fabulous EUROPEAN QUARTET at the bimhuis in Amsterdam. after the concert someone told me that Willem was very sick. so , before we continued to go to Texel to record a new CD and have a great concert there . i called willem , to may be visit him. but since no one took the phone , i had had no chance to say goodbye to him, because our tour schedule was too tight to stay in amsterdam. i am shure, wherever he is now , he will be having a lot of fun teasing Gabriel in heavan.he was one of the greatest musicians and composers i had he honnor to share my life with and he will have his favored food : Spiegelei mit Schinken. he is leaving a great documentation in his music about his people behind PS the documentations of our collaborations can be heard (and obtained) on birth records birth oo1 the 8th of july 1969 birh oo5  people sinfonie, frankfurt jazz festival 1971 wergo gunter hampel group (first recording with Jeanne Lee) avalable through birth deutsche grammphone  Hans Werner Henze : der langwährige weg der natascha ungeheuer ,with GUNTER HAMPEL GROUP ,perf at the deutsche staatsoper in Berlin globe unity orchestra , incl.gunter hampel bcl,fl and willem breuker reeds birth CD gunter hampel group at the trienale köln 1997 CD birth DVD gunter hampel group at 6o th birthday celebration in hometown göttingen 1997 ------------------------------------------------------------

MAKE LOVE NOT WAR success story : gunter hampel's ESP-MUSIC FROM EUROPE re-issue of a 42 year old recording on the US-ESP label ------------------------------------------------------------- JAZZ-ICON GUNTER HAMPEL   recorded 1966 in the netherlands a superb recording for the avantgarde label ESP. it was his second LP in his professional jazz career and his first for an US label. the first was his famous HEARTPLANTS LP with the GUNTER HAMPEL QUINTET , with Hampel on vibrafon and flute,Manfred Schoof trumpet, Alexander v, Schlippenbach piano, Buschie Niebergall bass and dutch masterdrummer Pierre Courbois, which is the first european outing on LP where europeans start to incorporate their own heritage, in this case it was the integration of the findings of the vienna new music legacy of schoenerg,webern und berg who influenced the improvising jazzgroup GUNTER HAMPEL QUINTET (from 196o-1966 )to discover the atonal music areas and going away from the 32 bars and 12 bars material to improvise in and from. Hampel started the jazzscene , the free jazz scene in europe and continues since then to explore the "infinity of NOW"( coda jazzmagazin,canada)

Don Ellis tp remarked on the ESP 1o42 MUSIC FROM EUROPE. (actually don ellis had been sitting in with the gunter hampel quintet back in 196o at the Hamburgh Jazzclub -barret- where gunter had month-long enegagements:)

"FIRST OF ALL; IT IS REFRESHING TO HEAR SOME EUROPEANS going their own way,and not merely trying to copy the latest thing in american jazz. all in all it is good to see some europeans getting over their inferior complexes and starting to stretch out and create their own music without  worrying about just copying the latest record from the USA. THIS WAY THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY OF REALLY CONTRIBUTING SOMETHING TO JAZZ: DJANGO DIT IT- IT IS TIME SOME OTHERS TRIED SERIOUSLY:     DON ELLIS

So ,what happens next :   . non other than BENNY GOODMAN heard the GUNTER HAMPEL GROUP playing at the COMBLAIN LA TOUR JAZZ FESTIVAL, comes totally enthusiastic on stage while Hampel' s group is playing and asks for permission of his NBC TV camera-team to tape Hampel's performance. Benny loved the frontline with the 2 bass clarinets (Hampel and Breuker). so, the next BENNY GOODMAN SHOW on NATIONWIDE TV starts with a 1o minute excerpt from Hampel's Group playing this new mindblowing stuff with Hampel's compositions and excursions into impromptu collective improvisations.  that was in 1966. bernhard stolman from ESP saw that and sent Hampel a telegramm: produce a recording for my ESP label.! in that recording session a further influence in Hampel's carreer took place. one audience member in that recording session was JEANNE LEE, and her 2 year old daughter Naima kicked a beer bottle to a microphone and Hampel had to erase a few notes from the recordings, but:

2 weeks later, Jeanne was singing wih the GUNTER HAMPEL GROUP on new years eve in Amsterdam and was not only THE VOICE   in his groups, like the GUNTER HAMPEL GALAXIE DREAM BAND,his ORCHESTRA and countless small group recordings on birth records, but they also have 2 children, RUOMI and CAVANA.

   2oo8: But it is this ONE SONG: MAKE LOVE NOT WAR on the ESP recording that thrills young audiences in SOUTHAMERIKA and the USA. AIR-play on many radio stations and multiple requests for more airplay are encouraging the station managers to send Hampel emails FOR MORE OF HIS MUSIC .

so the re-issue of this ESP recording shows, that even after 42 years, how timeless Hampel's music is. and it sounds fresh, as if it was recorded an hour ago, like all of his recordings on birth records, and that are about 12o CDs-DVDs-LPS

which all have made jazz history and are introducing new works, pieces of incredible far seeing ways how to communicate with each other in the band and with the attending audience, and then ALL TOGETHER explore the still unexplored.

 Hampel's contribution to jazz goes that far, that he has invented,extended, composed,explored,a field of creative energy with which the improvising musician can go beyond. beyond that horizon as a limitation fence.

the young audiences seem to catch up with the man and his music and his incredible working units who are up to this day experiencing in each concert new dimensions of creativity as a  hard working collective TEAM .the GUNTER HAMPEL MUSIC+DANCE IMPROVISATION COMPANY and the GUNTER HAMPEL EUROPEAN TRIO +bass

are the rightful heirs of a music, gunter hampel started to perform in 1958 and is a continuous progression of our lives in our present days.

        all about jazz : gunter hampel continues to be active at jazz-leading edge.

:" his notable career involves encyclopedic collaborations with North Amercan and continental jazz legends, as well as much younger generations of players.Hampel wisely surrounds himself with young musicians hat can both: keep up with him as well as push the proverbial envelope.TO GREAT EFFECT. His new works aren't a rehash of previous music, as Hampel's compositional well never dries up, though his characteristic jazz flavor is still evident. one can readily ascertain why his young companions are regarded as some of the best jazz musicians and why their leader is such an estalished musical figure." by Javier Antonio Quinones Ortiz  all about jazz nyc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the ESP and BIRTH -recordings of gunter hampel can be ordered by eMail: gunthampel@aol.com

The Volume

• Giuseppi Logan and Gunter Hampel at Bowery Poetry Club

  Posted in The Volume by Hank Shteamer on February 18th, 2009 at 2:26 am

  Not to sound dramatic, but I learned a little lessonn

• at the Gunter Hampel (left)/Giuseppi Logan gig at Bowery Poetry Club tonight:

• Namely, don't privilege a great story over great music.

  I had attended the ESP-Disk -sponsored show mainly to hear reed player Logan, whose improbable comeback story I recount briefly in this week's TONY. Logan's set was rocky — he seemed reluctant (or just plain unable) to blow for more than a minute or so at a time. Fortunately his sidemen — flügelhorn and bass clarinet player Matt Lavelle, bassist Francois Grillot and drummer Warren Smith — played with grace and patience, filling in the copious empty space. The notes Logan did squeeze out were compelling ones: smeared, almost sobbing. (It was hard not to think of veteran saxist Joe Maneri, who has spent decades perfecting a similarly slurry sound.) But Logan was clearly struggling, and it was probably best that his set lasted only about 20 minutes. An inauspicious reemergence, perhaps, but there was some potent raw material there, and if Logan sticks with it, he might be able to harness the vulnerability of his current sound into something special.
  
  But back to that lesson business.…  So I previewed Logan mainly on the basis of his somewhat sensational prodigal-son story — “Back after decades of homelessness and addiction!” — but neglected to mention that one Gunter Hampel was also appearing at the gig.A highly skilled German multi-instrumentalist ig. A highly who has worked steadily since the late '50s, Hampel offered a thoroughly outstanding solo turn in tonight's opening slot. Playing bass clarinet and flute, as well as vibes (sometimes two instruments simultaneously) — and looking like some sort of lanky biker punk in his leather jacket —

• he was a model of dexterity, soul and concentration.

• His work on vibes was particularly stellar: swinging, tender, joyous, not to mention dauntingly virtuosic. There was no fanfare or fuss to the set, just that life-affirming feeling you can get only from watching a real improvisational lifer at work. The moral here is a simple one: Yes, there's a story in Logan's comeback, but maybe there's a more compelling one in Hampel's never having left.
