Bilder: oben Middleton, unten Feinig
Tonc Feinig (A)-Hammond organ
Robert Jukic (SLO)-bass
Janko Novoselic (CRO)-drums
special guest:
Andy Middleton (USA)-sax
Das International Quartet ist vom 1. bis 7. März auf Tour und die erste Station ist das Künstlerhaus in Klagenfurt.
Tonc Feinig ist zur Zeit meist an der Hammond Orgel zu hören-so auch hier.
Robert Jukic wird nicht nur am Kontrabass sein Können beweisen, sondern auch als Komponist-seine Songs, mit welchen er schon Preise gewann, werden auch gespielt werden.
Janko Novoselic-in Graz studiert und mittlerweile in der Jazz-Szene etabliert, wird am Schlagzeug sein Klagenfurt-Debut geben, und das gleich mit einem Saxofonisten der Spitzenklasse-Andy Middleton!
Hierzulande ist Andy Middleton noch ein Geheimtipp, aber ein Blick auf seine bisherige Arbeit mit Dave Holland, Ralph Towner, Renee Rosnes, Kenny Wheeler, Lionel Hampton, Bob Mintzer, Randy Brecker, Maria Schneider, um nur einige zu nennen, lässt uns ein aussergewöhliches Konzert erwarten!
Hier noch detailierte info zu den Musikern:
ANDY MIDDLETON /USA/ sax
has been garnering attention for years for his imaginative, sincere, lyrical and adventurous solos which never resort
to cliche or empty virtuosic display. Saxophone Journal writes that Middleton “is a great example of a ˘best kept secret˙, a wonderful, ingenious, melodic musician whose playing is often ˘under the radar˙ and under-recognized by the media”, while Jazz˙n More of Switzerland has noted
that “Each single tone comes from his heart”.
In recognition of his compositional acheivments Jazz Times has written that “Middleton … writes in a broadly euphonious harmonic language, with a natural tunefulness that engages the ear with exotic airs”,
Time Out New York has written that he is “an ace saxophonist, a generously skilled arranger and a socially dedicated artist”, while the New York Times hails Middleton as “an accomplished composer as well as a smart post-bop
tenor saxophonist.”
As a leader he has had the great pleasure to record
with jazz greats Dave Holland and Ralph Towner (Nomad˙s Notebook, Intuition Music and Media), Renee Rosnes (Terra Infirma, Owl/EMI France), Joey Calderazzo (Acid Rain, Owl/EMI France), and with Kenny Wheeler, Reinventing
the World (Intuition Music and Media), a lament to the world˙s threatened environment which firmly establishes Middleton as a musician of extraordinary sensitivity, ability and talent, both as a composer and a performer. He has also worked extensively as a sideman with the likes of
Lionel Hampton, Bob Mintzer, Randy Brecker and Maria Schneider, among many others. He has toured Europe widely, performing at many of the major jazz festivals and in clubs in almost every European country. Andy˙s book,
Melodic Improvising (Advance Music, 2005) is a guide/ play-along CD that offers many effective approaches to developing a strong sense of melodic invention. He was a regular contributor to Jazz Player and recorded an improvisation Masterclass CD for the Jan/ Feb 2002 issue of Saxophone Journal. As of September, 2006 Andy resettled in Vienna, Austria to teach Jazztheorie, Composition and Arranging at the Konservatorium Wien, the most
prestigious music school in Austria. Middleton is also a highly regarded jazz clinician, presenting workshops and performing as a guest artist and conductor throughout the United States and Europe. Middleton was awarded a highly prestigious composition grant from Chamber Music America’s New Works: Creation and Presentation Program in 2004, a National Endowment for the Arts Performance Grant in 1996, and grants from the Fund for US Artists at International Festivals in 1992, 1993, and 2003.
In the words of master saxophonist, composer and educator David Liebman: “Andy Middleton represents the best of a new generation of jazz musicians.”
