Theo Jorgensmann: Sheep with Two Heads
by Noel Taylor
Theo Jörgensmann, the German free jazz clarinet maestro likes to quote the Austrian cultural historian, Egon Fridell: “pure originality has no great value--it is like a sheep with two heads." Fridell, who committed suicide in 1938 as the SA arrived at his door, was fond of illustrating his thinking with vivid and elliptical images of this ...

Theo Jorgensmann & Oles Brothers: Alchemia
by Chris May
Clarinetist Theo Jorgensmann's Alchemia is the third Hat Hut release in a row in which a free improvising, progressive musician has woven overt and telling references to past glories of the jazz tradition into his own, singular style. Cellist Daniel Levin's Blurry (Hat Hut, 2007) evoked the chamber jazz of the 1950s and 1960s ...
Theo Jorgensmann & Oles Brothers: "Alchemia" on Hatology 646
Theo Jorgensmann & Oles Brothers: Alchemia Hatology 646 “Perhaps surprisingly for a conceptualist like Jorgensmann, 'straightahead' jazzers Tony Scott and Buddy De Franco now seem even more relevant to our updated perception of Alchemia. Both were powerful clarinetists who brought idiosyncratic phrasing and a harmonic bite to solos that balanced on the cusp of ...

Theo Jorgensmann: Fellowship
by Brad Glanden
Free jazz arrangements often spurn the development of form and structure, deriving their complexity from inter-ensemble relationships. The specter of 1960s collective improvisation looms large over Theo Jörgensmann's Fellowship. Though the compositions are founded on epigrammatic themes, they weave an intricate framework for moment-to-moment interaction. The members of the clarinetist's conceptually sophisticated sextet bring six different ...
Theo Jörgensmann: Fellowship
by AAJ Italy Staff
La prima cosa che colpisce di questo album è l’organico, fatto di musicisti appartenenti a generazioni e geografie diverse dell’avanguardia (ammesso che questa parola abbia ancora - se mai ne ha avuto - un senso). Tutti musicisti dallo stile personalissimo ed allo stesso tempo ricco di influenze del passato e del presente del jazz (ma non ...

Theo Jorgensmann Quartet: To Ornette - Hybrid Identity
by Glenn Astarita
Clarinetist Theo Jorgensmann’s discography, namely for the “hatOLOGY” record label, speaks intrinsic volumes. The title of this effort might intimate an obvious Ornette Coleman tribute, but the quartet merely skirts the fringes of Mr. Coleman’s pronounced musical ideologies. In fact, none of these pieces were written by Coleman, as the Hybrid Identity implications simply signify the ...
