Recorded at the 2019 Salon fur Klang+Kunst, in Krailing/Munich, this consummate and creative meeting of multi-reed & brass improviser Udo Schindler and double bassist Thomas Stempkowski was performed as a dedication to bassist Simon H. Fell who passed from cancer in 2020; sadly Stempkowski also died during the production of this album, making this both a farewell and a memorial.
Format: CD Condition: New Released: 2021 Country: UK Packaging: Digipack - 3 panel Recorded at the Salon fur Klang+Kunst, in Krailing/Munich, Germany, on October 26th, 2019; and at the Galerie Artoxib, on October 25th, 2019, by Gottfried Duren.
"Thomas Stempkowski and I agreed to dedicate these recordings with double bass to the memory of our colleague Simon H. Fell.
It could hardly be more tragic and macabre, because Thomas died unexpectedly (for me) on June 12th, 2021 during the production of this CD.
I never would have thought that the recordings would be a farewell and memorial album. We had plans. The first meeting stimulated us, the interpersonal and the inner sound was right. A strong voice is silent, not only will I miss it!
The music is dedicated to the British bassist, composer & label head SIMON H. FELL who died on June 28th, 2020, a valued colleague whom I wanted to invite for my concert series 'low tone studies' in 2021 in Munich."-Udo Schindler
