A sharp moti\u00adve on the elec\u00adtric gui\u00adtar, cym\u00adbal hits, a mild wind from the Ham\u00admond organ. Then Muri\u00adel Gross\u00admann began with an urgent tone on the tenor saxo\u00adpho\u00adne and took off straight away\u2026 \u201cHap\u00adpi\u00adness\u201d is the name of the pie\u00adce. Based on clas\u00adsic blue note hard bop aes\u00adthe\u00adtics, the saxo\u00adpho\u00adnist quick\u00adly moves in the direc\u00adtion of spi\u00adri\u00adtu\u00adal jazz \u00e0 la Ali\u00adce and John Col\u00adtra\u00adne. The com\u00adpa\u00adri\u00adson with the\u00adse legends of the 1960s, which is often expres\u00adsed by inter\u00adna\u00adtio\u00adnal experts, is annoy\u00ading and flat\u00adte\u00adring at the same time. In an inter\u00adview with the \u201cPres\u00adse\u201d, Gross\u00admann says that she does not mas\u00adter her instru\u00adment as per\u00adfect\u00adly as John Col\u00adtra\u00adne, but if her music reminds of him, she is very happy.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
She also has joy with her band: the Serbs Rado\u00admir Milo\u00adj\u00adko\u00advic on the gui\u00adtar and Uros Sta\u00admen\u00adko\u00advi\u0107 on the drums have been play\u00ading with her for almost 20 years. You can hear that. New in the com\u00adbo is the Ham\u00admond orga\u00adnist Llo\u00adren\u00e7 Bar\u00adcel\u00f3. Again and again he for\u00admed inau\u00addi\u00adble syll\u00adables with his lips, as if he wan\u00adted to sum\u00admon his rap\u00adtur\u00adous his\u00adsing instru\u00adment. Becau\u00adse bas\u00adsist Gina Schwarz was unavailable for the last recor\u00adding ses\u00adsi\u00adon, he got his chan\u00adce. And he took it, lea\u00adding the band into new, more world\u00adly waters. That evening Gina Schwarz was only \u201cSpe\u00adcial Guest\u201d on two tracks from the album \u201cGol\u00adden Rule\u201d, released in 2018, which has pro\u00adven to be a key work in Grossmann\u2019s career.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Until 2018, Gross\u00admann only released CDs on her own label. Then Esto\u00adni\u00adan Dmi\u00adt\u00adri Kali\u00adnin began releasing their music on LPs. The vinyl pres\u00adsings with new visu\u00adal aes\u00adthe\u00adtics and audio\u00adphi\u00adle sound qua\u00adli\u00adty fue\u00adled inter\u00adna\u00adtio\u00adnal inte\u00adrest. The Bri\u00adtish BBC<\/span> man Gil\u00adles Peter\u00adson cele\u00adbra\u00adted them big in his radio broad\u00adcasts. Bri\u00adtish label owner Gerald Short soon released a sin\u00adgle and seve\u00adral com\u00adpi\u00adla\u00adti\u00adons. No won\u00adder, sin\u00adce the idio\u00adsyn\u00adcra\u00adtic sound fits per\u00adfect\u00adly into the cur\u00adrent renais\u00adsance of spi\u00adri\u00adtu\u00adal jazz, which his label Jazz\u00adman is promoting.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Of cour\u00adse, Gross\u00admann was never inte\u00adres\u00adted in fashion. She sim\u00adply plays what comes out of her: flam\u00adboy\u00adant, inten\u00adse and in seve\u00adral voice ran\u00adges, i.e. on tenor, alto and sopra\u00adno saxo\u00adpho\u00adne. She now has the most fans in the USA<\/span> and Gre\u00adat Bri\u00adtain. This puts her in the pan\u00adthe\u00adon of the few inter\u00adna\u00adtio\u00adnal\u00adly acclai\u00admed jazz musi\u00adci\u00adans from Aus\u00adtria. The\u00adre are\u00adn\u2019t many becau\u00adse local mas\u00adters like Erich Klein\u00adschus\u00adter, Fritz Pau\u00ader and Karl\u00adheinz Mik\u00adlin pre\u00adfer\u00adred to seek the secu\u00adri\u00adty of radio orchestras and jazz uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adties ins\u00adtead of ven\u00adtu\u00adring out into the world. Only Hans Kol\u00adler, Joe Zawinul, Micha\u00adel Man\u00adt\u00adler, Wolf\u00adgang Muth\u00adspiel and, to a les\u00adser ext\u00adent, Karl Rat\u00adzer, who inci\u00adden\u00adtal\u00adly will be award\u00aded the title of pro\u00adfes\u00adsor this week, did that. Per\u00adhaps also as a con\u00adso\u00adla\u00adti\u00adon for not ful\u00adly rea\u00adli\u00adzing his potential.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Is Ibi\u00adza a jazz island after all?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Gross\u00admann does the same thing in prac\u00adti\u00adcal\u00adly every one of their con\u00adcerts. This evening espe\u00adci\u00adal\u00adly in \u201cTran\u00ade\u00ading In\u201d, to which Gina Schwarz con\u00adtri\u00adbu\u00adted a won\u00adderful\u00adly ela\u00ads\u00adtic bass figu\u00adre. When she com\u00adpo\u00adsed hers, Gross\u00admann had no idea that John Col\u00adtra\u00adne had a pie\u00adce of the same name in his reper\u00adtoire. In the Por\u00adgy she cele\u00adbra\u00adted this win\u00adding excur\u00adsi\u00adon into the open for almost a quar\u00adter of an hour, start\u00ading with an ori\u00aden\u00adtal melo\u00addy on the sopra\u00adno saxophone.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In \u201cAfri\u00adcan Dance\u201d, which is backed by a den\u00adse car\u00adpet of rhythm, she show\u00aded that she also mas\u00adters the ear\u00adthy. The lyri\u00adcal high\u00adlight of the evening was the year\u00adning melo\u00addy of \u201cSun\u00addown\u201d. She con\u00adju\u00adred up Ibi\u00adza in front of the inner eye. What a striking melo\u00addy! Not to be com\u00adpared with the nar\u00adco\u00adtic sun\u00addow\u00adner ambi\u00adence of a Jos\u00e9 Padil\u00adla. Sun-satu\u00adra\u00adted, maje\u00ads\u00adtic jazz that streng\u00adthens ins\u00adtead of seda\u00adting. May\u00adbe Ibi\u00adza is a jazz island after all?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
