Fasten your seatbelts and put your ears in an upright position!
Barbara Dennerlein welcomes you on bord of BEBABALOO to an enjoyable roundtrip over her wide-ranging musical landscape.
With the 25th CD the artist is celebrating her 35th anniversary as a jazz organist and composer. The unique atmosphere of the Heidenheim Engine Shed, the irrepressible spirit of the musicians and the enthusiastic audience made the concert evening in May 2009 a magic moment of Jazz.
The intensive involvement of the organist with the entire recording process -- she personally did all the editing and mixing in her personal recording studio with the painstaking and meticulous care she is known for -- resulted in a recording that is a special treasure in both musical and technical sound aspects.
The interaction between the three musicians (sounding like a quartet with Barbara's mastery of the footpedals) is inspired and confident ...a musical dream-team. On her new CD Barbara Dennerlein presents nine originals in a wide range of styles. She is accompanied by Peter Lehel (sax) and Marcel Gustke (dr).
At age 11, Dennerlein began playing electronic organ
After starting organ lessons, she learned to play the two manual organ with a bass pedalboard. After one and a half years of lessons she continued to study without formal instruction. At age 15, she played in a jazz club for the first time. When leading her own bands, Dennerlein was often the youngest musician in the group, and she cooperate with more experienced musicians. Her local reputation as the "Organ tornado from Munich" spread after her first TV appearances in 1982[2].
[edit]Recordings
When her third LP "Bebab" was issued, Dennerlein established her own record label in 1985. She received the German jazz critics award. Next, she did three recordings on Enja Records[1] and three on the international jazz label Verve Records. On these recordings she worked with Ray Anderson, Randy Brecker, Dennis Chambers, Roy Hargrove, Mitch Watkins, and Jeff 'Tain' Watts.
Performance set-up
Dennerlein's performances on the Hammond organ include solo performances as well as quintets (e.g. her "Bebab" band). She has MIDI interfaces[1] and triggers built into pedals and manuals of her Hammond B-3 organ, which allows her to add synthesizers and samplers to her sound.
After a variety of projects and after playing with renowned unconventional musicians, such as Friedrich Gulda Dennerlein started playing the pipe organ in 1994. In 2002, she recorded the first of her two (to date) jazz albums on church organ. Since 2003 she has also developed jazz projects with symphonic orchestras.
[edit]Compositions
Dennerlein's first album included four of her own titles. Her compositions vary from traditional schemes, romantic, melancholic ballads to tempo driven compositions with elements of swing, bebop, funk and Latin rhythms. The fast tempos and rhythmic figures she uses in her interpretations of well-known standards, and in many of her own compositions, requires fast bass pedalboard foot work . Dennerlein often uses changing meter (e.g., 3/4 to 4/4), as well as unconventional harmonic changes to add expression to her compositions.
