Quatorzième album solo de la diva fantasque du punk allemand, Nina Hagen. Accompagnée par le Capital Dance Orchestra, l’artiste y reprend des standards du jazz, interprétés en allemand et en anglais
What is obviously a very ambitious effort on Ninas part, she brings to life a collection of songs spanning from the early 1920s to the early 1950s, done in the ‘swing’ style along with the amazing Capital Dance Orchestra. Nina sounds wonderful (a vocal coach is credited in the booklet by the way) and is having a great time here. She makes these songs hers in true Nina Hagen fashion and is having fun with them. Whether its the very rousing ‘Bei Mir Bist Du Schon’ ‘Flat Foot Floogie’ ‘Yes Sir’ or ‘Halli Hallo’, or the more meloncholy ‘But Not For Me’ or ‘Happiness(done both in German and English versions)’. After her unusual departure in “Big Band Explosion” I was a little surprised to see her do another collection of ‘vintage’ music. But this time around she kicks it up a few notches and really hits the nail on the head. If you liked “Big Band Explosion” then you will love “Irgendwo Auf Der Welt”. I highly recommend this CD of very infectious music that Nina has made timeless. The CD also comes in a very nifty ‘super jewel box’ jewel case, and includes a glossy booklet with lots of great pictures of Nina, plus all the lyrics to the songs. Buy and enjoy!!
Mit ihrem demnächst erscheinenden neuesten Werk »Irgendwo auf der Welt« präsentiert Nina Hagen zusammen mit dem The Capital Dance Orchestra eine Interpretation. nein es ist viel mehr, eine Liebeserklärung auf ihre Art an die Klassiker und Songperlen der Vergangenheit.
The Capital Dance Orchestra gehört bereits seit einigen Jahren zu den besten Big Bands des Landes – und über die Grenzen hinaus. Das Ergebnis dieser mitreißenden Kollaboration ist kein gewöhnliches Album oder die schnöde Ansammlung von Coversongs. Nina Hagen & The Capital Dance Orchestra greifen die Klassiker an ihrer emotionalsten Seite, arrangieren sie neu und holen vergangene Zeiten auf höchstem Niveau in das Hier und Jetzt zurück.
Herzblut, Spaß und die Liebe zum Swing machen »Irgendwo auf der Welt« zu einer mitreißenden Zeitreise zu den Highlights und Songperlen der Vergangenheit. Spannend, wie jedes Nina Hagen Werk!

Drummer and multi-instrumentalist Salah Ragab was a central figure in the history of jazz in Egypt. A sometime collaborator with Sun Ra, Ragab founded the Cairo Jazz Band in 1968, the same year that he became the head of the Egyptian Military Music Department. The Cairo Jazz Band was Egypt’s first big band, mixing American jazz with North African music, combining jazz instrumentation and musical style with indigenous melodies and instruments, like the nay (bamboo flute) and the baza (ramadan drum). Such musical cross-fertilization was not unusual in itself; American musicians from Sun Ra to Yusef Lateef had long been fascinated by the music of Islam and North Africa, incorporating both the instruments and musical forms of the Fertile Crescent into their work. But Salah Ragab’s music presents a topsy-turvied perspective, a view from the other side of the musical equation of West meets Middle East.
More importantly, however, The Cairo Jazz Band seriously swings. While there have been some tantalizing tidbits from Ragab available in the past, such as the Sun Ra Arkestra Meets Salah Ragab in Egypt release on Leo Records, this reissue is the first time such a wide variety of Salah Ragab and the Cairo Jazz Band’s music has been made available outside Egypt. Collecting material from 1968-73, Egyptian Jazz is published by the UK imprint Art Yard, who have hitherto exclusively released an outstanding series of vinyl-only Sun Ra recordings. It’s no surprise, then, that there’s much here to appeal to Sun Ra aficionados, but with songs like the swaggeringly cocksure “Egyptian Strut” and blow-outs like the scorching “Ramadan in Space Time” and the ultra-groovy “Neveen,” this record more than stands on its own. As head of the Egyptian Military Music Department, Ragab had access to some of Egypt’s finest instrumentalists, and he drew deep from this pool of musical talent. The ensemble playing is top-notch throughout and there are stand-out solos on flute, sax, and keyboards, notably on the percussion-heavy “Neveen.” Susanna Bolle, Dusted

Francy Boland (полное имя François Boland) - бельгийский джазовый композитор и пианист, сотрудничавший со многими известными джазовыми артистами. Одним из самых известных его проектов был биг-бэнд, организованный совместно с барабанщиком Кенни Кларком, по праву считающийся одним из лучших образцов жанра. В данном релизе объединены три альбома, выпущенные в 1976 году. Отличный подарок для любителей мощного и легкого джаза в исполнении оркестра. Наслаждайтесь! =))

The second of two Circle CDs featuring the 1944 Boyd Raeburn Orchestra’s transcriptions for Lang-Worth has arrangements by Eddie Finckel, George Williams, Milt Klee, Johnny Mandel and one from George Handy. Raeburn’s big band would become much more adventurous later in 1945 but there are some strong moments throughout this set, particularly “Is You Is or Is You Ain’t Ma Baby” (which features the vocal of trombonist Trummy Young), “Two Spoos in an Igloo” and two appearances for guest trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie (“Barefoot Boy with Cheek” and a vocal version of “A Night in Tunisia” called “Interlude”). There are also some period vocals by Don Darcy and Marjorie Woods and a few features for the Johnny Hodges-inspired alto of Johnny Bothwell. This is fine late period swing music although not as unique as Raeburn’s recordings of the next two years.
