One of the most important trombonists in the history of jazz and an original player of multiphonics, Albert Mangelsdorff has been the leading figure in German jazz for decades. Back in 1958 he played in Marshall Brown's International Youth Band at the Newport Jazz Festival, and from that time on he performed throughout Europe as the leader of quartets and quintets. Initially influenced by the cool jazz of Lee Konitz and Lennie Tristano, he recorded with Konitz, Attila Zoller, John Lewis and others and developed his highly individual style in the sixties. A long-time member of the Globe Unity Orchestra and the United Jazz & Rock Ensemble, Mangelsdorff is still an adventurous player and always open to new challenges.
Probably the most innovative ensemble he currently works with is Movin' On, based in Switzerland. When this quartet came to life in 1990 (then with Dutch cello player Ernst Reijseger), they got lots of fantastic reviews for their concerts and their first CD "Movin' On". In the band's musical concept, acoustic instruments and electronic devices are mixed naturally. Swiss artist Bruno Spoerri, a local pioneer in jazz and computer music and one of the leading saxophone players in Europe, has developed a very personal style of using electronics in a musically meaningful and inventive way. With versatile guitar player Christy Doran (who replaced Reijseger) and original percussionist Reto Weber, Movin' On presents a surprising mixture of modern jazz, new sounds, breathtaking tempos, and global grooves. It's a pure pleasure to hear Albert Mangelsdorff's unique trombone playing in this outstanding computer-assisted context.
Albert Mangelsdorff
Active Decades: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Sep 05, 1928 in Frankfurt, Germany
Died: Jul 25, 2005 in Frankfurt, Germany
Genre: Jazz
Trombonist Albert Mangelsdorff pioneered the art of jazz polyphonics, introducing to the avant-garde the symphonic tradition of playing multiple notes simultaneously. Born in Frankfurt, Germany, on September 5, 1928, Mangelsdorff grew up enthralled by jazz, devouring his older brother Emil's record collection. His uncle, a professional violinist, gave him music lessons as a teen, but the rise of the Third Reich forced him to keep his passion for jazz in check. Over time Mangelsdorff taught himself guitar, but following World War II he managed to acquire a used trombone in exchange for cigarettes -- he often played for audiences comprised of the American soldiers who remained stationed overseas, finally performing to crowds who shared his appreciation for jazz. Word of Mangelsdorff's prowess on the trombone soon reached his fellow musicians, and in 1952 he made his recording debut in support of saxophonist Hans Koller. He also worked in small groups and with the Dance Hesse Radio Orchestra throughout the decade, and in 1958 was selected to serve as the German representative for the Newport Jazz Festival International Band, an opportunity that resulted in collaborations with U.S. giants like Gerry Mulligan and Louis Armstrong.
Upon returning to Germany, Mangelsdorff inaugurated a prolific recording period that included collaborations with sibling Emil, Modern Jazz Quartet pianist John Lewis (the 1962 Atlantic LP Animal Dance), and his own quintet featuring his longtime associate, saxophonist Heinz Sauer. As the decade continued, Mangelsdorff moved increasingly into the realm of free jazz, culminating in his first unaccompanied solo performance at the Munich Olympic Games in 1972. He made solo trombone -- a heretofore unknown concept in jazz -- a reality via multiphonics, the physically and technically demanding simultaneous blowing and singing of notes into his horn; the method opened vast new dimensions like harmonies and chords, and over the years Mangelsdorff also incorporated modal improvising and even rock & roll elements into the equation. In 1980, the American magazine Down Beat named him the world's best trombonist -- from there, he worked with the NDR Big Band, the Manfred Schoof-led Old Friends, and the United Jazz + Rock Ensemble, and in 2003 celebrated his 75th birthday with an all-star celebration at Frankfurt's Die Alte Oper. Mangelsdorff died on July 25, 2005.
