Kenny Werner - Meditations - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Kenny Werner - Copenhagen Calypso [COMPACT DISCS] date 11/08/1994

This is the first commercial issue of the complete Lang-Worth Recordings of the legendary Fats Waller, and the sessions took place on Nov. 20, 1939 under the supervision of Cy Langloi, co-owner of Lang-Worth. Fats recorded the 20 selections included here, performing nearly one hour of music at one sitting, playing solo piano, organ & vocals.

As far as German bands that were actually influenced by the Krautrock sound of the late 1960's and 70's, Mouse on Mars are one of the most successful and influential children of that scene. Formed in the early 90's the Dusseldorf based twosome use dub, rock, jazz, and electronic music styles as a base to create experimental soundscapes and progressive dance tracks, the result is a style of music that is as baffling and high concept as it is pleasurable.
