Joe Fiedler
Plays the Music of Albert Mangelsdorff
Clean Feed CF 049CD
Generally credited as the first European trombonist who by the 1960s had talents that were equal to or superior to American jazzers, Frankfurt native Albert Mangelsdorff (1928-2005) evolved from being a top-ranked bopper to flirting with the avant garde and fusion in the 1970s, The result by the time of his death, was a matchless amalgam of all those styles in his playing.
Although acknowledged as a major stylist as early as 1962, when he recorded with the Modern Jazz Quartets pianist John Lewis, this CD by New York trombonist Joe Fiedler is the first recorder tribute the German master of multiphonics. Its no macabre cash-in either. For Fiedler, whose experience encompasses bands as disparate as Latin- Jazz group Timbalaye, pianist Andrew Hills sextet and Philip Johnsons Fast and Bulbous, recorded the just-released session in November 2003.
