  • 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.

    Contact: Glenn Siegel, Ken Irwin, (413) 545-2876 www.fineartscenter.com/magictriangle THE 2010 MAGIC TRIANGLE JAZZ SERIES PRESENTS: STEVE COLEMAN & FIVE ELEMENTS The Magic Triangle Jazz Series, produced by WMUA-91.1FM and the Fine Arts Center at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, concludes its 22nd season on Thursday, April 26, at Bezanson Recital Hall, at 8:00pm with a performance by Steve Coleman & Five Elements. The group features Coleman on alto saxophone with Jonathan Finlayson (trumpet), Tim Albright (trombone), Jen Shyu (vocals), Thomas Morgan (bass) and Tyshawn Sorey (drums). A mentor and something of a pied piper, Coleman is a hugely influential figure who has aided the careers of peers like Geri Allen, Greg Osby and Cassandra Wilson, as well as nurturing the development of such important younger musicians as Vijay Iyer, Steve Lehman and Rudresh Mahanthappa. Over the past two decades, he's turned his band Five Elements into an improviser's academy, attracting a steady flow of exceptional young musicians. “To me, Steve Coleman is as important as John Coltrane,” says pianist Vijay Iyer, “he has contributed an equal amount to the history of the music. He deserves to be placed in the pantheon of pioneering artists.” Born in Chicago in 1956, Coleman moved to New York City in 1978 and has been identified with the City ever since. Initially influenced by saxophonists Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Von Freeman and Bunky Green, Coleman has performed and recorded with Thad Jones, Sam Rivers, drummer Doug Hammond, Cecil Taylor, Abbey Lincoln and Dave Holland. One of the founders of the so-called M-Base movement, Coleman has led several groups and has 25 recordings under his name.

Frink, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Ornette Coleman (1930-2015) is frequently referred to as not only a great visionary in jazz music but as also the father of the jazz avant-garde movement. As such, his work has been a topic of discussion for nearly five decades among jazz theorists, musicians, scholars and aficionados. While this music was once controversial and divisive, it eventually found a wealth of supporters within the artistic community and has been incorporated into the jazz narrative and canon. Coleman’s musical practices found their greatest acceptance among the following generations of improvisers who embraced the message of “free jazz” as a natural evolution in style.
