  • JUBILEE EDITION to His Artistic Choice
    WINTE R&WINTER JthUe fBirsIt L30EyE earsE1D98I5 T–I2O01N 5 SOUND JOURNEYS 30 Years of Music Recordings by Stefan Winter It is a kind of stage anniversary behind the scenes: 30 years ago Stefan Winter founds the JMT (Jazz Music Today) label and records the debut production of the young saxo - STEFAN WINTER AND MARIKO TAKAHASHI phonist Steve Coleman . The starting point is the new Afro-American conception M-Base . The protagonists of this movement are Cassandra Wilson (vocals), Geri Allen (piano), Robin Eubanks (trombone), Greg Osby and Gary Thomas (sax ophones). In antithesis to this artistic movement Winter do cu ments the development of the young jazz avant- garde and produces path-breaking recordings with Tim Berne (saxophone), Hank Roberts (cello), Django Bates (piano), Joey Baron (drums), Marc Ducret (guitar) and the ensemble Miniature . After 1995 his working method changes fundamentally from a documentarist to a sound director. This is the actual beginning of WINTER&WINTER. Together with Mariko Takahashi he dares to implement a new label concept. At the end of the 80s, Stefan Winter and Mariko Takahashi meet in Japan. Under the direction of Mariko Takahashi the festival »Taboo-Lu« is initiated in Ginza in Tokyo (Japan), a notable presentation with live concerts, an art exhibition and recordings. With »Taboo-Lu« the idea of and for WINTER&WINTER is quasi anticipated: Border crossing becomes a programme. Art and music cooperate together, contemporary meets tradition, composition improvisation. Mariko Takahashi and Stefan Winter want to open the way with unconventional recordings and works for fantastic and new experiences. Stefan Winter has the vision to produce classical masterpieces in radical new interpretations.

  • New York Quartet
    NEW YORK STANDARDS QUARTET Tim Armacost David Berkman Gene Jackson Ugonna Okegwo 1 "Power of 10" is notable for its powerful music, intelligent interactions, excellent solos...The New York Standards Quartet takes music many listeners are familiar with, styles we can put a name to, and creates a program that illustrates just how alive jazz can be. RIC Richard Kamins, Hartford Courant 2 new york standards quartet biography When we formed the New York Standards Quartet (nysq) ten years ago, the concept was a straightforward one: play jazz standards in our own way. After playing a lot of original music (we all compose and lead bands that do that) we thought it would be fun and liberating to play music based on simpler, standard jazz tunes that we had grown up playing. By playing jazz standard tunes like “Confirmation” and “All the Things You Are,” we put the focus on the playing of the tune—what we do with it, not so much the tune itself. These tunes are blank slates to write on, with a lot of freedom and room for interpretation. We’ve expanded our approach to include arrangements and reinventions of these tunes, as well as original compositions that have a close connection to forms and harmonies derived from standards. The band has been touring and developing together for ten years, and it shows in the music. Audience response has been phenomenal, and bookings are pouring in from festivals and venues around the world. The New York Standards Quartet is Tim Armacost (Billy Hart, Ray Drummond, Kenny Barron) on saxes and flute, David Berkman (Tom Harrell, Cecil McBee, Vanguard Orchestra) on piano, Gene Jackson (Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland) on drums, and Ugonna Okegwo (Brad Mehkdau, Tom Harrell, Kurt Rosenwinkel) on bass.
