Marion Brown
In Sommerhausen
Moosicus 1219 - import re-issue LP on "RANDOM" colored vinyl 

     Historical live recordings from 1969, affectionately mastered by Johannes Scheibenreif, limited to 500 copies in random color.
     Alto saxophonist Marion Brown was an initially underrated hero of the jazz avant-garde. It was only after he moved from Atlanta to New York and joined John Coltrane that audiences and critics took notice. Dedicated to discovering the far-reaching possibilities of improvisational expression, Brown possessed a truly lyrical voice. In the early seventies, he played with Anthony Braxton, Andrew Cyrille, Bennie Maupin, Jeanne Lee, and Chick Corea, among others. On this recording, he was accompanied by the German jazz musician Gunter Hampel (composer, vibraphonist, saxophonist, flutist, pianist, and bass clarinetist).
     His son Djinji remembers his father by saying, "The way he played sounded like his speaking voice, the way he held his horn reminded me of the way he held my hand, the way he walked was in the same rhythm as his songs, and then everything made sense. His music was first and foremost who he was. It was the purest expression of his soul, and everything he did had the same gentle power as his music. He was truly one with his art; there was no separation between the two."
     Super-star band includes: Jeanne Lee, Gunter Hampel, Ambrose Jackson, Daniel Laloux, & Steve McCall.
