Liner Notes from the CD:
"With O-Moon My Pin-Up, Koglmann has undoubtedly enriched his
multi-facette oeuvre. Out of the characteristic synthesis of Cool Jazz
idiom and Wiener Schule expressionism which had its inception with the
founding of the 'Pipetet' has grown over the years a microcosmos of
manifold structural links to the entire (western) world of music ranging
from Renaissance to improvised music which transcend the co-ordinates
of the historic 'Third Stream', not to mention the new dimensions with
the tapping of vocal music opens up for Koglmann's soundworld. O-Moon My
Pin-Up is not a musical 'judgement' on Ezra Pound, is is neither a
condemnation nor an apology. On the contrary, it's a sensitive
reflection of the fragile polyphony of speech levels and inflections in
Pound's poetry at the time of an existential crisis which is directly
connected with the political events surrounding the end of the war."
Peter Niklas Wilson
This magnificent production joins a beautifully designed 125-page
oversized paperback (with informative notes, photos, an interview with
composer/trumpeter Franz Koglmann, and more) and an outstanding musical
interpretation by the Franz Koglmann Pipetet of a portion of the Pisan
Cantos by Ezra Pound. Meant to be a serious work of art, this recording
combines elements of opera, classical music, and jazz improvisation to
produce, if not a synthesis, then at least a studied détente among
seemingly disparate elements. The success of this project lies not only
with the strong musicians, who include vocalist Phil Minton (reciting
Pound), clarinetist/tenor saxophonist Tony Coe, and string bassist Barre
Phillips, with the leader doubling as trumpeter and composer. If the
jazz element is less than on some other recordings led by Koglmann, no
matter: the recording succeeds on multiple levels and is an important
work of twentieth century culture.
