Mariano di Nunzio: trompettist
START: To the latest blog Naar de laatste blog
( To the English part which commemorates the Norwegian reed player Kalle Engstrøm)
Dankzij het Centro Studi sul Jazz Arrigo Polillo ( Het Siena Jazz Archief) kan ik jullie een paar bijzondere uitgaven introduceren rondom de Italiaanse trompettist Mariano di Nunzio. De eerste CD is eenvoudigweg getiteld Kurt Weill en wordt uitgevoerd door een kwintet, genaamd Il volo di Lindbergh, wat refeert aan de legendarische overtocht van The Spirit of St. Louis, gevlogen door Charles Lindbergh. De groep bevat Raffaele Brancati op fluit en rieten, Mariano Di Nunzio op trompet en bügel, Sergio Corbini aan de piano, Amedeo Ronga op bas en Daniele Fusi op slagwerk. Het werd opgenomen maart 1999 voor het Le Carrozze label ( CARR 10004).
Bedankt Francesco dat je me op deze twee mooie albums wees.
NARCISSUS QUARTET.
Vanmiddag om 16.00 uur treedt in de Porgy en Bess Jazzclub het kwartet van Robin Verheyen op, onder de naam van het Narcissus Quartet. Dit kwartet bestaat uit Robin Verheyen op sax, Jozef Dumoulin op piano ( die Harmen Fraanje op piano heeft vervangen), Clemens van der Feen bas en Flin van Hemmen op slagwerk. Robin Verheyen won onlangs de Django d'Or, de prijs, die toegekend wordt aan jong Belgisch talent. Clemens van der Feen speelt bijna een thuiswedstrijd; hij is geboren en getogen in Middelburg.
KALLE ENGSTRØM ( 1908 - 1955 )
Hundred years ago, on the 5th of October 1908, Karl W. Engstrøm, better known as Kalle Engstrøm, was born in Oslo - Norway. As a young adult he started to play the clarinet and alto saxophone in local bands around Hamar, where he raised, before he returned to Oslo. Late 1920s he was one of the most gifted Norwegian jazz soloists in bands like the Willie Vieth's Kaba-orchestra (photo on the right). In 1934 he founded, together with Gunnar Sønstevold, Svein Øvergaard and guitarist Finn Westbye, a quartet that was called The Funny Boys. (photo on the left). With this group he made four trips along European venues in the 1930s. In the early 1940s he became a member of the Bristolorkestret directed by Øivind Bergh, a dance and light music orchestra which played at the Hotel Bristol in Oslo. In February 1940 he recorded with Jack Butler and his Swing Patrol, in which also Robert Normann, the great Norwegian guitar player, participated. In November 1941 Kalle Engstrøm arranged and recorded with the Øivind Berghs Bristolorkester the tune Pål sine høner and recorded it for Columbia. Like in Holland the German forbid to play "jazz" and music with English titles, so this was a camouflaged song. He also played in Oslo at the Restaurant Humlen as part of the Alf Søgaard Quintet. After the war he wasn't very active in music anymore. I found the above mentioned recordings at the Robert Normann - definitive collection 1938-41 vol. 1, released by Normann Records and the latter at Sigarett stomp - Jazz in Norway 1940-1950, released by the Norsk Jazz Arkiv (= Norwegian Jazz Archive ) in Oslo on Herman records (HJCD 9002 ).
Kalle Engstrøm passed away in Oslo, January 1955.
