Once they played together in the band Mind Games , then parted ways. Now they are musically reunited for a magical evening: Lisa Wahlandt , one of Europe's most fascinating jazz voices, and Mulo Francel , multi-instrumentalist and creative whirlwind at Quadro Nuevo . Together with their congenial accompanists on bass, piano and percussion, they take us with sambas and bossanovas into an imaginary land of longing, where everything is different sensual, southern, sometimes feathery swinging and grooving, sometimes with the typical tristeza of the tropics. Brisa do Maris an intense, emotional cocktail of pure joie de vivre and velvety melancholy and the many blue tones in between. A live delight for music connoisseurs and an evening that does the soul good. Translate by Google https://www.glm.de/en/product/lisa-wahlandt-meets-mulo-francel-brisa-do-mar/

There was a time when doing something experimental in tango could not only result in bad reviews from music critics who didn't understand what you were doing it could also result in bodily harm. The late Astor Piazzolla, often hailed as the Charlie Parker of tango, was literally beaten up in the streets of Buenos Aires by opponents who disliked his vision of tango (which was a major departure from the old-school tango of Carlos Gardel, Carlos Di Sarli, Aníbal Troilo and Hugo del Carril). But these days, Piazzolla-minded tango is very much the norm and tango enthusiasts are unlikely to resort to fisticuffs even if an artist does something expansive that they don't comprehend. The word "expansive" easily applies to Quadro Nuevo, a European tango-oriented quartet that takes a lot of chances on their 2006 recording Tango Bitter Sweet. This 69-minute CD has a strong Piazzolla influence, which is hardly unusual in the 21st century; the tiny, insignificant minority of people who still consider Piazzolla a musical heretic are like the tiny, insignificant minority of people who still believe that Dixieland is the only legitimate form of jazz. What makes Tango Bitter Sweet unusual is the way Quadro Nuevo combines that Piazzolla influence with so many non-tango influences; during the course of the album, elements of Piazzolla are blended with everything from Brazilian samba to French chanson to Italian and Mediterranean folk to jazz. One of the selections, in fact, is an intriguing arrangement of Sidney Bechet's "Petite Fleur"and there are plenty of other songs on this disc that originated outside of tango but receive a tango makeover, including Michel Legrand's "The Windmills of Your Mind" and Rezso Seress' "Gloomy Sunday" (a Hungarian gem that found its way to jazz after receiving English lyrics and being recorded by Artie Shaw and Billie Holiday in the early '40s). But Tango Bitter Sweet, for all its risk-taking, is ultimately a very charming and accessible album. The solos are quite lyrical, and Tango Bitter Sweet is happily recommended to anyone who is seeking something fresh from tango. ~ Alex Henderson https://www.allmusic.com/album/tango-bitter-sweet-mw0000559509

Quadro Nuevo - Impala (Parts 1 & 2)

Mulo Francel: Saxophone, Klarinetten; D.D. Lowka: Kontrabass, Perkussion; Andreas Hinterseher: Akkordeon, Vibrandoneon, Bandoneon; Evelyn Huber: Harfe, Salterio; Chris Gall: Piano.

Quadro Nuevo is the European answer to the Argentine Tango. Arabesques, Balkan swing, ballads, daring improvisations, melodies from the old Europe and Mediterranean lightness are condensed into fairytale sound fables. These tell of the vagabond life, the experiences and encounters on the great journey of life, the small coincidences and the great moments, delicacy and wild temperament, always driven between easterly and westerly winds, between consuming desire and enjoyable fulfillment - between the bitter and the sweet.


Quadro Nuevo has been touring the countries of the world since 1996, giving over 3000 concerts: Sydney, Montreal, Ottawa, Kuala Lumpur, Istanbul, New York, New Orleans, Mexico City, Beijing, Seoul, Singapore, Tunis, Tel Aviv. From contemplative Upper Bavaria over the Alps to Porto, from Denmark via the Balkans to Ukraine across Europe. Always on the road, the instrumental quartet has developed a very special language of sound poetry, apart from the usual genre-drawers. It is characterized by the passionate love for the instrument and the greatest joy of playing. The secret is dedication: Rarely has it been experienced that music is presented to foreign cultures with so much excitement, verve and empathy. The venues of the four musicians are as diverse as the roots of their music: Quadro Nuevo is not only a guest in concert halls and at festivals. The playful virtuosos also travel as street musicians through southern cities and demand dance as a nocturnal tango band, performing in jazz clubs and New York's Carnegie Hall.

Mulo Francel - Mocca Swing (2-Disc Set)

CD1: Mulo Francel Quartet Recordings: Mulo Francel / tenor saxophone, clarinet; David Gazarov / piano; Sven Faller / bass; Robert Kainar / drums. CD2: Orchestra Works: Mulo Francel & Münchner RundfunkorchesterEnrique Ungarte / conductor, accordion; Quadro Nuevo; Café del Mundo; Paulo Morello / guitar; Max Klaas / percussion; David Gazarov , Robert Kainar & Sven Faller. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Stefan Gienger at Mastermix Studio, Munich, Nov. 2016 & May 2017.

Many people who have never heard the name of Mulo Francel will nonetheless be aware of his playing, because the saxophonist is one of the founder members of Germany's most successful world music group Quadro Nuevo, which has been in existence since 1996. For Francel, this band provides the ideal means to channel any need he might have for travel, and also to give musical expression to his innate curiosity about other cultures. Quadro Nuevo brings him into contact with musicians, myths and melodies from all over the world, and these encounters happen “in the spirit of jazz”: freely, spontaneously and non-judgementally. That said, Francel’s musical roots are unquestionably in jazz. His legacy from a father who died too soon was a collection of jazz records, which became the door to a new world for the young Mulo.

In January 2016 we recorded our debut album "Marais". As the main soloist we were able to win our longtime friend, Diknu Schneeberger, who continues to accompany us on as many concerts as possible. You can hear standards from the Gypsy Jazz Canon (Swing Gitan, Swing 39, It was always so beautiful with you), traditional folk songs (Miserlou) and an original composition by Diknu Schneeberger (Middle Ages). Even Mulo Francel from Quadro Nuevo can be heard on a piece that he has specially arranged for us (Mocca Swing) and for which we made a video. Thanks to Tom Peschel and Erdem Enging for the recording and Sebastian Vogel for the cover artwork.

Mulo Francel, Martina Eisenreich, Wolfgang Lohmeier and Stefanie Boltz are the inventors of this original session. What better way to celebrate 25 years of GLM than with an anniversary CD? So it came that various artists from the GLM roaster got together to compose new original tracks, that were recorded in numerous, diverse formats. Originally, it was planned to record 12 songs with a vintage analogue 24 track tape machine, which was provided by sound engineer Wolfgang Lohmeier, however the final track list contained 18 songs. The musical influences are widely spread from World Music to Jazz, musical idols of the artists, the beauty of nature and life itself. Sometimes in a big constellation, sometimes in a duet, instrumental or with vocals, all of the compositions have a few things in common: They were created with the emotion and feel of the location, everybody was highly motivated and curious to explore the collaboration with the colleagues of the label.

The music of the album shows a connection and openness of the musicians. You can feel that GLM is more than just a label, it feels as if it is one big family, which can be experienced through the booklet and video recordings of the event. Ideas, conversations, collective lunches, exchange of emotions and especially good music were at the heart of this five-day adventure. The result: A CD of highest musical talent, incredible tension and variety and exceptional passion from all the participants.

The tenor saxophonist Stan Getz, who died in 1991, was one of the first to combine North American cool jazz with the vibrant pulse of Brazilian rhythms. The result was Bossa Nova, whom he and singer Astrud Gilberto helped gain worldwide fame. Tailored to the title selection one hears on this publication of the Mind Games a cast with reduced brass section and additional guitar. "One of the finest jazz orchestras of our day" (WOM Journal) has put together a program that includes the highlights of Latin American music. (Translated from German.)
