The American drummer is one of the originators of jazz-rock, the fusion of jazz and rock music; “Incest is best” was German rocker Udo Lindenberg’s comment on the coupling. No one had a better understanding of this melding of jazz polyrhythms with rock’s pulsating beat than Mouzon; with his furious propulsive style, he was welcome in both camps. Weather Report founders Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, and Miroslav Vitous brought him into the premier edition of the band. Mouzon and bassist Vitous made up the rhythm section. From Prague, Czech, Miroslav had also played in Miles Davis’ band. As he had already shown with Weather Report, he demonstrates how well he could integrate acoustic bass into a jazz-rock concept. In duo with Mouzon, Vitous bows the deep tones on his composition “The Light”; he grabs the electric bass on the other compositions. Vitous as well as saxophonist Bob Malik and keyboard player Stan Goldberg were all part of the 1977 version of Mouzon’s touring band. Pianist/keyboarder Joachim Kühn and guitarist Philip Catherine joined the troup for the recording of “In Search of a Dream”. Thus, the session was a sort of summit meeting of the jazz-rock elite of that time.

Indeed, from a position of relative obscurity when he arrived in New York in 1959, he went on to become one of contemporary jazz’s most prolific and commercially successful composers. The main focus of this dissertation will be Zawinul’s rise to prominence in American jazz during the 1960s and 1970s.

[I] LYNDON REYNOLDS Ill Miles et Alia The list of musicians who have played with Miles Davis since 1966 contains a remarkable number of big names, including Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, Chick Corea, Joe Zawinul, Jack de Johnette, Dave Hol l and, John McLaughlin and Miroslav Vitous. All of these have worked success fully without Miles, and most have made a name for themselves whilst or since working with him. Who can say whether this is due to the limelight given them by playing alongside , Miles, the musical rewards of working with him, or Miles's talent-spotting abili- ties? Presumably the truth is a mixture of all these. What does Miles's music owe to the creative personalities of the musicians working with him? This question is unanswerable in practice, for one cannot quan- tify individual responsibility for a group product - assuming that is what Miles's music is. It is obvious that he has chosen very creative musicians with which to work, and yet there has often been an absence of conspicuous, individual, free solo playing in his music since about 1967. It would appear that Miles can absorb musical influences without losing his balance. What we find then, is a nexus of interacting musicians, centring on Miles; that is, musicians who not only play together in various other combinations, but influence each other as well. Even if the web could be disentangled (I know not how, save with a God's-eye-view), a systematic review of all the music that lies within it would be a task both vast and boring.

There's magic in the air, or at the very least a common ground of shared values that makes this combination of two great musicians turn everything golden. That's not to say their progressive ideas are completely harnessed, but this recording is something lovers of dinner music or late-night romantic trysts will equally appreciate. McCoy Tyner.

McCoy later said, Bud and Richie Powell moved into my neighborhood. He also befriended saxophonist John Coltrane, then a member of trumpeter Miles Davis' band. A flow of adventurous, eclectic albums followed throughout the decade, many featuring his quartet with saxophonist Azar Lawrence, including 's Song for My Lady, 's Enlightenment, and 's Atlantis.

Throughout his career, Tyner continued to push himself, arranging for his big band and releasing Grammy-winning albums with 's Blues for Coltrane: A Tribute to John Coltrane and 's The Turning Point. However, after six months with the Jazztet, he left to join Coltrane's soon-to-be classic quartet with bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones.

  • Knut Rössler Johannes Vogt
    KNUT RÖSSLER Knut Rössler was born in 1945. For him the jazz of the late ’and early ’(jazz as he first got to know it) was the music of the young generation. The freedom of improvisation fascinated him from the outset. After playing a number of different instruments, and venturing into pop and rock in the late ’and early ‘– more a lifestyle choice than a musical decision, Rössler only began to seriously devote himself to the saxophone and flute and the fundamentals of music, at age thirty. In the following years, he became involved in all forms of music making, from duo, trio, quartet and quintet to big band. Festival gigs, radio recordings and tours throughout Europe followed, as well as an East- Asia tour for the Goethe-Institute. His work is documented on ’ and ’ with Joachim ü Hal Galper, Janusz Stefanski, Alphonse Mouzon, Christoph Spendel, Pax Wallace, Christian Scheuber, Christoph Kaiser, Werner Goos, Joachim Fuchs, Georg Lawall, and many others. His sound on the saxophone is strongly influenced by South-Indian classical music, as well as some European musicians such as Jan Garbarek. The happy encounter with lutenist Johannes Vogt triggered a strong fascination for old European music and the European music traditions. A fascination that is reflected and brought into a harmonious balance with his other interests, influences and roots in the group “the Timesú. JOHANNES VOGT Johannes Vogt was born in 1953 in Bochum, where he gained his first stage experience as an electric guitarist. He later studied classical guitar, lute and musicology in Heidelberg, where he lives and works today.
