████ Blue delights: IF (BLUE) THEN (BLUE) - for the ████
████ first time, Heinz Sauer has recorded with ████
████ Joachim Kⁿhn. Together ████
████ with Michael Wollny, they have created an ████
████ exciting homage to Kind Of Blue. ████
████ ôJazz is here alive again.ö ôMagical miniature ████
████ versions for eternity.ö ôA strong duo!ö û this ████
████ is how the press ████
████ celebrated the two most recent ACT CDs from ████
████ saxophonist Heinz Sauer and pianist Michael ████
████ Wollny û Certain ████
████ Beauty (ACT 9442-2) and Melancholia (ACT ████
████ 9433-2). A duo which caused a furore not only ████
████ because of the 46 year ████
████ age gap of both musicians but also because of ████
████ the wide creative scope captured in this ████
████ encounter. On the one ████
████ hand, the wise and experienced saxophonist ████
████ (born 1932) with the concisely dazzling sound ████
████ and on the other, the ████
████ young ôconqueror of the keysö (born 1978) with ████
████ a broad musical vocabulary going in all ████
████ directions. It wasnÆt by ████
████ chance that Melancholia won the ôGerman Record ████
████ CriticsÆ awardö and Certain Beauty won the ôCD ████
████ of the Year ████
████ awardö from the French Jazzman magazine in ████
████ 2006. ████
████ For Heinz Sauer both of these CDs were an ████
████ important late success in a rich, yet rarely ████
████ so highly awarded, long ████
████ musical career û they were in fact his most ████
████ successful CDs. To continue the exciting and ████
████ sprawlingly-beautiful duo ████
████ aesthetic of these recordings, producer ████
████ Siegfried Loch put the idea of an expanded ████
████ version into reality. He brought ████
████ in a further partner for Heinz Sauer who here ████
████ alternates with Wollny û pianist Joachim Kⁿhn ████
████ (born 1944) who had ████
████ only just previously had a huge success on ACT ████
████ together in a duo with Michael Wollny (Live At ████
████ Schloss Elmau, ACT ████
████ 9758-2). ████
████ Like Sauer, Kⁿhn has established himself as ████
████ one of the great figures of German jazz for ████
████ decades yet both these ████
████ figureheads have never recorded together. Now ████
████ they are finally joining forces, and in a ████
████ particularly inspired way. In ████
████ the year of the 50th anniversary of the great ████
████ jazz classic, Miles DavisÆ Kind Of Blue, ████
████ Siegfried Loch suggested they ████
████ both do a recording in response to the special ████
████ workshop atmosphere and musical density of ████
████ this milestone work. IF ████
████ (BLUE) THEN (BLUE) is their joint venture, ████
████ musically as profound and spectacular as the ████
████ artist consortium itself. ████
████ Yet you will not hear a trio play here. ████
████ Instead, the pianists are heard alternating ████
████ with each other when playing ████
████ alongside Sauer. The back-and-forth nature of ████
████ this alternation is not competitive; rather ████
████ they mutually and ████
████ respectfully complement and inspire one ████
████ another. Heinz Sauer talks of a ôsession with ████
████ many spontaneous ████
████ moments.ö The recordings with both partners ████
████ were not made on separate days but instead, ████
████ the three musicians ████
████ were always present, and in this way Kⁿhn and ████
████ Wollny were always able to respond to what the ████
████ other had played ████
████ previously. Sauer: ôThe order of the tracks on ████
████ the CD is in the order in which they were ████
████ recorded and so the listener ████
████ is able to experience the adventure of the ████
████ workÆs unfolding.ö As a very specific homage ████
████ to Miles DavisÆ Kind Of ████
████ Blue, three tracks from that great classic ████
████ also appear here: ôAll Bluesö, ôFlamenco ████
████ Sketchesö and ôBlue In Greenö. ████
████ Heinz Sauer is presented here in a brilliantly ████
████ exciting juxtaposition, with two partners with ████
████ very distinctive profiles. ████
████ On the one hand you have Wollny who subtlety ████
████ combines universal piano nuances ranging from ████
████ romantic gloom ████
████ to the brusquely clanging new sound world. On ████
████ the other, you have Kⁿhn û full of energy, the ████
████ eternal ôSturm und ████
████ Drangö musician, expressing strong emotions ████
████ and a master of the explosive turbulence and ████
████ heartfelt beauty of ████
████ sound. ████
████ Both musicians are far removed from being ████
████ streamlined. They are characterised by ████
████ intensity, by expression without ████
████ compromise, and by their very own sounds. Yet ████
████ there are differences: ôFor Michael the word ████
████ jazz is far too ████
████ confined; when I play with him everything is ████
████ open. With Joachim, on the other hand, you can ████
████ feel the old jazz ████
████ tradition more,ö says Heinz Sauer. ████
████ In their unwillingness to compromise and the ████
████ intensity of their expression, both pianists ████
████ join separately but amiably ████
████ with the saxophonist. Sauer is a musician who ████
████ is able to change the tonal nuances of his ████
████ tenor saxophone in a split ████
████ second. His sound flows like lava û glowing ████
████ red, then cold, forming craggy formations. His ████
████ instrument rumbles and ████
████ cheeps, bells and ôsandsö, whimpers and ████
████ shrieks. He is able to conjure the full volume ████
████ of a foghorn as well as an ████
████ effervescent warbling gentleness, both arising ████
████ so quickly and succinctly from his instrument ████
████ that the listener is forced ████
████ into changing paths of emotions. No other ████
████ saxophonist in the world plays like Sauer. ████
████ The peer of musicians such as Albert ████
████ Mangelsdorff, but also of Michael Wollny, this ████
████ long term contemporary, who ████
████ understands how to condense a career spanning ████
████ half a century into only few sounds, is truly ████
████ unique. And he is here ████
████ at his best û in an exciting union of world ████
████ class German musicians, at a summit of the ████
████ generations and inspired by a ████
████ great classic. IF (BLUE) THEN (BLUE) û if ████
████ youÆre going to do something like this then ████
████ you might as well go all the ████
████ way! ████
