When someone such as Ry Cooder, who delved deeply into traditional sources, just names his LP "Jazz", it is unlikely that one will hear avant-garde music. Actually, in the numbers gathered together here the investigative guitar man dedicated himself more or less to almost forgotten music. Historically informed, yet not adhering to the original instrumental ensemble, this ostensibly antiquated music enjoys a brilliant renaissance. Just like in an album of charming black and white photographs, the old-fashioned style shines out brightly, such as in "Big Band Bill", which (hardly by accident) is modelled on the jaunty swing of Django Reinhard, but does not imitate him. Cooder’s slightly acidic-sounding guitar mixes homogeneously with the delightfully rustic sound of the tuba and a bluegrass mandolin ("Face To Face…"). The typical Caribbean rattle of the marimba enters into a pleasant dialogue with the warped sound of the slide guitar. Folksy bliss in three-four time ("Happy Meeting In Glory") stands confidently on a par with the merry, self-willed saxophone ("In A Mist") and with the poetic, dreamy and meditative guitar ("Flashes"). And just listen to how the classic number "Davenport Blues" – with its emphasis on the woodwinds – grooves along with the vibraphone and tingly inner parts. This sound is both filled with the spirit of Bix Beiderbecke and, based loosely on Mingus, will sooth the Jelly Roll Morton-soul of its fans. This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head. More information under http://www.pure-analogue.com.

Wenn ein verdienter Ausgräber traditioneller Quellen wie Ry Cooder einen Plattentitel schlicht "Jazz" tauft, erwartet wohl niemand avantgardistische Töne. Vielmehr widmet sich der forschende Saiten-Praktiker in den hier versammelten Stücken manch vergessener Musik. Historisch informiert, aber frei vom Zwang nach originalen Besetzungen, erlebt scheinbar Museales seine Renaissance in frischem Glanz. Wie aus einem Sammelbuch würdiger Schwarzweiß-Fotografien erhebt sich hell belichteter old fashioned Stil, der in "Big Band Bill" kaum zufällig den flotten Swing eines Django Reinhard zum Vorbild nimmt, ohne ihn zu kopieren. Cooders gern leicht angesäuert intonierende Gitarre mischt sich homogen mit herrlich rustikalen Tubatönen und bluesgrasiger Mandoline ("Face To Face …"). Und karibisch anmutendes Marimba-Geklöppel lockt zum genüsslichen Dialog mit der eiernden Slide-Guitar. Volkstümliche Seligkeit im Dreivierteltakt ("Happy Meeting In Glory") steht in dieser Sammlung selbstbewusst und gleichberechtigt neben lebensfroh widerborstigem Saxophonspiel ("In A Mist") und versonnen versponnener Gitarrenpoesie ("Flashes"). Nicht zu überhören wie der Klassiker "Davenport Blues" im holzverliebten Bläsersound mit Vibraphon und kribbeligen Binnenstimmen groovt. Dieser Sound lebt sowohl den Geist von Bix Beiderbecke und streichelt, frei nach Mingus, die Jelly Roll Morton-Soul seiner Fans. Diese Speakers Corner Produktion wurde unter Verwendung von analogem Masterband und Mastering 100% rein analog gefertigt. Mehr Informationen unter http://www.pure-analogue.com.
