De-Phazz was founded by Pit Baumgartner as an "open-band-concept"
in 1997. The band was formed by the musicians who participated in
the Detunized Gravity album: Karl Frierson, Barbara Lahr and Otto
Engelhard.:
"As regards the members of the new album, there has been a marked
change from our first projects. With the help of Pat Appleton we
produced two "shrill pop songs", and more of a melancholy ballad,
which obviously differ from the present TripHop style of the band.
Personally I like this development, because I feel my musical roots
have taken shape in these pop songs of the 50ies and 60ies (or am I
mixing up my musical roots with my psychosis)?
What I like most about GODSDOG is the fact that we are not
repeating what we have done in the past - you could say copying
ourselves - yet still keeping our identity.
Through the live appearances over the year, Roy Randolph
(percussion) has managed to play his way into the band. Together
with Jan Friede he will take over the rhythm section of the band on
stage. In the studio, Roy brought in this special South American
flair (he is half Cuban), which can be distinctively heard in
"Havana Moon".
One who has certainly had more influence on this project in
contrast to the debut album is Otto "Sugarlip" Engelhardt (muted
trombone - an art of its own). For me he is the "guardian of
classical Jazz" and keeps complaints from jazz purists off my back.
The easiest person to classify is Karl Frierson - the classical
Jazz singer (or Soul singer /or Pop singer) - he makes for the main
ingredient bringing all the other elements together (one could tune
a piano to his voice).
De-Phazz is known to be an "open project". Therefore one should
also mention Gospel singer Charity D.Sanders. She is mainly on tour
with her choir, however whenshe is involved she brings the
religious or rather mystical elements to De-Phazz".
