Early nineties took the Carinthian saxophonist Wolfgang Puschnig with much seriousness, heart and wit of the old and often sad songs at his home, and transformed it into the sound of the present. The final analysis, "Alpine Aspects" meant a piece of music, which to this day the most important, because the most original, Austrian jazz productions counts at all. "Alpine Aspects" was and is like a moderate, erratic block in Austria musical landscape, a brilliant milestone of European jazz as a whole. 

The project has remained without successor. It screamed then to resurrect the "Alpine Aspects" program with his plump, rousing vitality of relish out-living making music again. As an Austrian brass band to fat radio of electric bassists Jamaaladeen Tacuma fits, just sound marching clocks to oblique jazz rhythms and Harmolodik of Ornette Coleman for functional harmony of local folk songs, of which evidence can be found in the Vienna Sargfabrik on 23 November.http://www.musicaustria.at/wolfgang-puschnig-alpine-aspects/
