A
homage to the legendary „Four Brothers“ (Stan Getz, Zoot Sims, Herbie
Stewart and Serge Chaloff) of the 2nd Herd Woody Herman Band and
comparably to the Eddie „Lockjaw“ Davis Very Saxy four
tenor band featuring Coleman Hawkins, Arnett Cobb and Buddy Tate.
We started this project for the first time in Bingen/Rhein (GER) for
the Jazzfestival „Bingen Swingt“ in June 2010. Heinz v. Hermann
together with Wilson „Yiye“ de Oliveira, Jürgen Seefelder and Peter
Weniger. In Berlin at the Bad'schen Hof we repeated this project in
Oktober of 2014 with Wilson „Yiye" de Oliviera, Walter Gauchet and
Peter Weniger and because of the overwhelming feedback, it was a
no-brainer to bring this project to Vienna. The rhythm section
consisted of Wolfgang Köhler p, Lars Ghlke bass and Felix Astor drums.
The Vienniese colleagues were immediately enthused and we proudly
presented at Zwe's in Vienna the „4 very saxy brothers“ with Herwig
Gradischnig, Martin Fuss and Bernhard Wiesinger. The rhythm section
features Markus Gaudriot on Piano, Alexander Lackner on Bass and Tom
Henkes on Drums.
The name of the band is a little bit misleading, it should rathe be „4 generations of tenor-saxophone“!
The program contains the pieces out of the repertoire of above mentioned
bands (of course) plus a few extra written compositions and
arrangements for this lineup.
