Groove Reloaded You only live twice … mit diesem Slogan warben vor einem halben Jahrhundert die Kinotrailer zum gleichnamigen James-Bond-Klassiker.

Zur gleichen Zeit stiess Joe Zawinul am Fender Rhodes zur Band von Miles Davis, der damals mit Wah-Wah-Trompete gerade sein zweites oder schon drittes Leben als stilbildender Künstler begann. Der E-Bass war neuerdings im Jazz etabliert, das Zeitalter der Fusion eingeläutet. Alles längst Geschichte, werden manche sagen. Aber vielleicht trotzdem nicht zum Vergessen, möchte man einwenden. Denn trotz beängstigender Mengenausweitung im Jetztjazz schaffen es immer weniger Künstler, aus dem Schatten der Überväter herauszutreten, und nur ein noch erlauchterer Kreis lässt uns dank Authentizität und Identität auch im Nachhall grosser Tradition hinhören.

Groove Reloaded
You only live twice … Half a century ago this used to be the slogan with which movie trailers were advertising the eponymous James Bond classic. At the same time Joe Zawinul joined up, on Fender Rhodes, with the band of Miles Davis who was about to start his second or third life as a trend setting artist playing his trumpet through effect devices. The electric bass was recently established in jazz music and the era of fusion music was launched. One could say that all this is ancient history but some might argue that it should nonetheless not be forgotten about. Because despite the vast mass of jazz productions in present time jazz only few artists are able to emerge from the shadows of jazz icons. And only a very small circle of artists is capable of catching people’s attention through authenticity and musical personality, in the echo of the great traditions.
