Reviews

"Barbara Thompson schreibt und spielt für das Saxophon wie keine andere. Mit Liebe und unerschütterlichem Respekt hegt und pflegt sie das Instrument, wenn es nötig ist, fordert es heraus und treibt es über seine Grenzen hinaus und zeigt uns, dass das Saxophon in den richtigen Händen wirklich großartig ist."
Fiona Ross, Jazz in Europe

Wonderful

This monumental anthology does a great service to fans of British Jazz and to lovers of a musician of great value such as Barbara Thompson. This woman burst onto the London scene in 1964 at the age of only 20, already endowed with considerable technical knowledge and, as evidenced by Dave Gelly in the precious 36-page booklet accompanying the 14 CD box, of unparalleled beauty. Gelly recalls how he and Jon Hiseman that Sunday morning were on a sidewalk in front of a series of shops including the Irish Pub where the rehearsals of the New Jazz Orchestra would take place when this creature landed from another world leaving them ecstatic: Jon Hiseman would become her husband and lifelong companion. Multi-instrumentalist of tenor saxophone, soprano and flute, he also knew how to play two instruments at the same time and was able to quickly carve out a space as a protagonist in a musical scene in total ferment where powerful and vital influences flowed more than anywhere else in the world.
The 14 CDs tell in a strictly chronological way between 1969 and 1990 Barbara's musical adventure through her participation in BBC programs but also depict the evolution of an important part of British Jazz. It begins with that New Jazz Orchestra by Neil Ardley in which gifted musicians such as Ian Carr, Dave Gelly, Dick Eckstall-Smith, Henry Lowther, Derek Watchins, Mike Gibbs and Jon Hiseman played. The atmospheres are sophisticated and complex, unlike the Big Bands in vogue at the time, here the gaze is evidently turned to the works of Gil Evans from the beginning of that decade, evoking their smoothness with a skilful use of tuba and brass. Moreover, at that time the large English formations were writing memorable pages by artists such as Mike Westbrook or Graham Collier. This scarce half hour of music would already be enough to justify the purchase of the box set (really well done by the commendable record company Repertoire).

Großes Werk einer großen Jazz Musikerin...

Diese fantastische 14!!Cd Box der britischen Sopran,tenor und alto Saxophonistin sowie Flötistin-Barbara Thompson.Viele ihrer Solo Alben ab 1978 sind bis heute nicht auf CD erschienen...warum auch immer.Sie waren recht erfolgreiche Fusion Alben dieser Zeit,vorallem in Europa.Diese Aufnahmen nun sind alles Radio Aufnahmen für BBC,Jazz Broadcast Shows,meist live im Studio ohne Publikum aufgenommen.Der Sound ist großartig.Thompson ist seit den spät 60ern aktiv in der britischen Szene.Neil Ardley,New Jazz Orchestra oder mit Don Rendell zeigen ihre musikalischen Anfänge im Modal Jazz,Big Band und vertrackte,orientalisch angehauchte Kompositionen.Jubiaba war einer ihrer ersten Formationen mit größerer Brass Sektion und Percussion.1974 bis 1977 waren die besten Aufnahmen dieser Group.Schade das es zu dieser Zeit kein Album dieser Tunes auf den Markt schaffte.Danach kam die bis heute noch bekannteste Quartet bzw Quintet Formation zum Tragen:Paraphernalia.Peter Lemer am electric Piano ist großartig.Jon Hiseman,Drummer und Gründer von Colosseum sowie Colosseum 2 und Ehemann von Barbara,stieß ab 1979 dauerhaft bis zu seinem Tode der Group bei.Insgesamt ein wirklich wunderbares Werk dieser Jazz Musikerin,von der man die Frühwerke ihrer Aufnahmen sowie Kompositionen so gut wie nicht kannte.Modal Jazz,Oriental Jazz,Brazil Fusion,Jazz Funk sowie eine Prise Rock zeichnet den Weg dieses Box Sets.Ein nettes Booklet mit Fotos,Liner Notes etc.ist mit dabei.Die bekannten Jazz/Rock Alben der 70er von Ian Carr,Nucleus,Don Rendell,Henry Lowther oder Alan Skidmore und Neil Ardley sind mit diesen Aufnahmen auf einer Augenhöhe anzusehen...
Absolute Entdeckung bzw. Wiederentdeckung.
