about

Intakt CD 182

What with its idiosyncratic music, the anarchistic humour, its intelligent arrangements and original sounds, Der Rote Bereich passes for one of the most exciting bands of modern German jazz. Founded in 1992 by guitarist Frank Möbus and the bass clarinetist Rudi Mahall, the band went through several metamorphoses until finally the Berlin drummer Oliver Bernd Steidle proofed to be the convincing percussionist in this trio. The press celebrated Der Rote Bereich as “the most important representative of German avant-garde jazz”. The “Jazzpodium” states: “In Germany you can barely find music that is comparably complex, surprisingly simple, refreshing in its self-mockery and interesting in every second.”

Der Rote Bereich is back now, after a creative pause. This fall the band will be on tour with a new program, presenting their seventh CD release, the first on Intakt Records. Frank Möbus once said: “Music has to do with life, but life not necessarily with music”. The music of Der Rote Bereich is very up to date, it is full of instancy and realism. Yet they know the true promise and fun of musical seriousness that makes their music an intellectual as well as sensual jazz adventure.

This record has such a magical flow to it, it seems to capture so directly the ups and downs of life, the joy of music and dance, and it's just so damn catchy and fun to listen to as well. Giles

This quintet has acquired legendary status as a working unit...all the musicians are exemplary at their craft and DD is one of my 'Big5'...he is an exquisite composer of both depth and breadth of vision...you can instantly recognise Dave's DNA in a tune...what's more, you feel there is also so much more to come!;his powers of expression are so special.

THE COMPLETE IN BERLIN '88 (BOX SET)
by CECIL TAYLOR

supported by 8 fans who also own “Der Rote Bereich 7”

The music of Cecil Taylor is, in my mind, a grand codex to the hidden (occult) corners of the universe and mind. He had this ability to tap into what appeared to be chaos but in truth was not. We, the listeners, are invited to welcome the challenge of understanding his decryption. This monolithic slab of recordings is evidence of the incite and talent he possessed. Challenging is a word I don't use lightly and this comes from a lover of extreme metal. But, without challenge life is bland. Obstacle of Affliction
