On the occasion of the 40th birthday of Frank Gratkowski in 2003, the Moers Jazz Festival and The Loft Koeln put together The Loft Exile V project in which Frank Gratkowski could realise his ideas. For this project Frank invited a dream line-up: Herb Robertson on trumpet, Wolter Wierbos on trombone, Dieter Manderscheid and Wilbert DeJoode on basses, Gerry Hemingway and Michael Vatcher on drums, and Tobias Delius and himself on saxophones. The result is 138 minutes of music to be heard to be believed.
This double-CD documents two concerts held to celebrate multi-reedist Frank Gratkowski's 40th birthday. The music is comprised of free improvisations, with the nearly 64-minute "The Morning Beckons" performed one night by a septet and saxophonist Tobias Delius making the group an octet for three pieces on the next night. The three (sometimes four) horns leave space for each other and mostly engage in sound explorations. The most interesting playing is usually by the two bassists, who are supported by two drummers. Sometimes they walk and keep time but other times they play very freely and create unusual sounds. Due to the length of the music and the fact that everything is freely improvised, there are stretches where not that much is happening and the performance meanders. But in general there are enough moments of interest to keep followers of avant-garde jazz alert and stimulated. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
