About this product
Did you ever hear an 18th century fortepiano, a violone from 1560 and a historical drum and percussion kit playing contemporary music full of improvisation and groove? On the latest of the Rembrandt Frerichs trio this unlikely combination has come together. And how! This mix of sounds has never before been heard, certainly not in jazz. The chosen repertoire is equally unorthodox the trio play original compositions, baroque repertoire, modern improvisations and even Herbie Hancock's jazz-rock hit InchButterfly.Inch Piano pioneer Rembrandt Frerichs developed a unique playing style on the fortepiano, an idea that was spawned by the many collaborations with musicians from the Middle East. The National Musical Instrument fund had such an instrument built for Rembrandt by Chris Maene in Belgium. In response to this, Tony Overwater started to master the violone, precursor to the double bass. Vinsent Planjer complements this with an unconventional collection of percussion instruments from all over the world. The Trio demonstrates that instruments from centuries gone by can sound totally modern when placed into a new context. The listener experiences a sound palette like they have never heard before, but is still somehow strangely familiar. Album Tracks 1. Elf 2. Escher 3. Butterfly 4. Maqam Bayati 5. Snip 6.

While this CD examines the music emanating from Cambridge University much of the pioneering sounds were the work of Fred Elizade. The music here follows the Quinquaginta Band through the years. Elizalde played piano and arranged from his arrival at Cambridge in 1924 until his talents were recognized by Ambrose whose Savoy Orpheans were headquartered in London. In 1929 the recordings featured George Monkhouse and His Cambridge Quinquaginta Ramblers. The leadership passed on to pianist Richard Philpott whose six solos are included on this CD. The final two tracks feature Alec Gracie And His Varsity Madhatters who recorded for the obscure Girmac tag. Album Tracks 1. High-High-High Up in the Hills 2. Muddy Water 3. Ain't She Sweet 4.

Hardly anyone knows Damia today, a famous French singer and actress who is considered the model of later world stars such as Edith Piaf, Barbara or Juliette Greco. In her chansons, Damia almost exclusively sang the life that in her case had tragic elements, which is why she received the nickname Inchla tragedienne de la chansonInch (the tragic figure of the chanson). The singer was idolized between the world wars, but increasingly forgotten after the occupation of France by the Germans. InchDamia's story and her repertoire touched me very deeply. She had her own style and was the first 'Chanteuse realiste' in our country,Inch Elodie Lauton explained the motives for InchOriginis,Inch her second album after the much-respected crossover project InchTerminal B,Inch which she released in 2012 with the group Goldamour. For the homage to her idol Damia, Elodie assembled a number of outstanding European musicians. The result touches and goes directly to your heart. Chansons in her native language with this very special, subtly swinging jazz touch.
