Wolfgang Puschnig and Duos: A deja vu. An album full of dialogues with changing musical partners - like the time 1988. "Pieces of the Dream" was the plate. She was a special: Puschnig debut under his own name. 32 years old, he was at that time, known as one of the leading soloists of the "Vienna Art Orchestra", the internationally successful big band flagship of young Austrian jazz postmodernism. Wolfgang Puschnig should be a year later, in 1989, left to to embark on a solo career paths. Well prepared by band projects like "Part of Art", "Air Mail" and the "Pat Brothers", which were hailed in the 1980s in Europe Festival stages, and where Puschnig played a leading role. "Pieces of the Dream" signaled departure, initial spark, joy to our future.
28 years later, the signs are different. "Faces & Stories" sounds left, almost sober. The view is partly a retrospective, rekapitulierender. Wolfgang Puschnig is gone his way, has left deep marks in the European jazz course. Projects such as "Red Sun & Samul Nori" are on record, mainly in the 1990s, caring furore cooperation with master drummers from South Korea. The groundbreaking confrontation of deep black, from Ornette Coleman's "harmolodics" Funk-influenced jazz and traditional Austrian brass music in "Alpine Aspects". From the recent past was "For The Love of It" called a many-voiced, genre cross-experiment in musical poetry, the sounds of jazz, folk and classical music combined - and Puschnig there led back to where he himself and much of the comes from, which makes it unmistakable as a musician: Are his cantabile lines and sigh on alto saxophone but deeply marked by melancholy Slavic Melos of songs Carinthia. Wolfgang Puschnig, which is now the wonderful model case of a European musician, reflecting its origins in the rapidly identifiable sound and yet proves cosmopolitan openness. Successively it has mutated over the years and the much respected "elder statesman" of the Austrian Jazz, who willingly Younger passes on his knowledge.
A full circle. Duo is the most intensive form of interaction, because one relatively 'naked' is in this constellation. One must with much more energy act as in the context of a band, so Wolfgang Puschnig said years ago. And also that it is the most intimate, most personal form of musical exchanges. "Faces & Stories" because also has something of a sounding Photo Album, are in the meetings held with close people. A collection of acoustic stories and memories. Some of DuopartnerInnen were already present on "Pieces of The Dream": The legendary pianist and composer Carla Bley, Puschnig participates in the Big Band since the 1980s as a soloist. Singer Linda Sharrock, with many years linked him an equally intense as fruitful partnership. The once active in Ornette Coleman electric bassist Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Puschnig "twin brother" from Philadelphia. Or saxophonist Hans Koller, 2003 82-year deceased father figure of modern Austrian Jazz.
Other pieces with the New York violinist Mark Feldman, the Moravian singer-violinist Iva Bittová, the once living in Vienna Tunisian singer and oud player Dhafer Youssef or the late Indian master percussionist Pandit Arjun Shejwal who raises his voice brittle here - are Puschnig overgrown over the years. In still another is long-standing and still current companion: The 75-year-old electric bassist Steve Swallow poet should be mentioned. Or Jon Sass, who lives in Vienna, New York tuba, the Puschnig still knows "Vienna Art Orchestra" days. The Armenian pianist Karen Asatrian and his Viennese colleague Paul Urbanek. . And also the Carinthian vocal quartet "intersection vowel" Puschnig would not however Puschnig, were it not for some new faces at his side: Approximately Croatian cellist Asja Valcic, known from the "radio.string.quartet.vienna". A native of Burkina Faso balafon virtuoso Mamadou Diabaté. As Puschnig 17-year-old son Samo Weidinger. There are very personal, almost private snapshots that divides Wolfgang Puschnig here with the audience. Where a part of the message in the openness and respect are, with the alto saxophonist and flutist such different characters on opposite eye level occurs. Original sound Wolfgang Puschnig: "What is most important for me, and what is hopefully also be felt in the music, this is the love - as energy. The need to be there. She gives the music an extra dimension.” Translate by Google https://www.amazon.de/Faces-Stories-Wolfgang-Puschnig/dp/B01E9N1HFK
