Dazwischen bewegt sich der gebürtige Grazer stilistisch vom Ragtime bis zum modernen Mainstream. Als Multiinstrumentalist, der vier verschiedene Instrumente beherrscht, kann er dabei auf eine breite Palette von Klangfarben zurückgreifen. ..daß die vorliegende CD nicht zur Ein-Mann-Show wird, dafür sorgt Kleins hochklassiges, international besetztes Quartett...(Jazzpodium/Andreas Beyer) CD jp 1043 The music on this CD has been produced by artists from different backgrounds - Oscar Klein, a Jew who was interned in fascist Italy during World War II; ROMANO MUSSOLINI, the youngest son of the former fascist dictator of Italy; JAN JANKEJE, a Slovak, and GREGOR BECK, a German. Klein performs technically well and expressively on all of his trumpet solos, he blows a gutsy clarinet on his "Blues for Peter Schilperoort," he is best on guitar on "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," and his harmonica is truly jazzy on his "The New Harmonica Shuffle." Mussolini has brought together elements of the blues, stride and swing into a unique style of his own. Mussolini's stylistic modernity is displayed on his solo rendition of "To My Mother," which he composed, and Jankeje takes a long, interesting bass solo on his "Bratislava Fantasy". The best rendition is " The Sheik of Araby," with splendid solos from Klein, on trumpet, Mussolini and Beck, a swing drummer who also displays his outstanding technique on" Bye, Bye, Blackbird." These excellent musicians, coming from diverse backgrounds, have given us some very enjoyable jazz on this CD. (Cadence/George Borgmann 6/1995) Our price: 13,45 EUR incl. 19.0% MWSt. / VAT
