WAYNE SHORTER – Moto Grosso Feio
toll, oder?
und falls interessiert, wer die drummerin ist, hier mal ein rechercheergebnis aus dem toten destination-out-blog:
Micheline Prell aka Micheline Pelzer was the daughter of Belgian saxophonist Jacques Pelzer. There’s an interview with her on the What Music label’s site (whatmusic.com) for their resissue of the Open Sky Unit lp (not the Dave Liebman group). She specifically mentions how she came to play on the Moto Grosso Feio session:
“Back in Belgium I then had a few concerts under my own name with a trio comprised of Johnny Dyani on bass and Mongezi Feza on trumpet, and I asked my father to join us for that ‘free adventure’. In 1969 we opened for Miles Davis at the Liege Festival. That evening, Wayne Shorter heard the group and asked me to come to NY to record with him.
“I arrived in New York in December 1969 and then recorded Wayne’s Blue Note LP “Moto Grosso Feio” in April 1970 with Chick Corea, Dave Holland, John McLaughlin, Ron Carter and Miroslav Vitous. New York was a big shock for me; I’ve never felt such strong vibrations anywhere else. I think that every jazz musician in the world must go to N.Y. at least once in their lifetime, as it is the foremost jazz town in the world.
“When I arrived there I was invited to a 3 storey house on 19th St. and 7th Ave. Chick Corea lived on the 1st floor, Dave Holland on the 2nd and Dave Liebman on the 3rd. Liebman opened his place for rehearsals and jam sessions everyday – so many musicians passed by that I cannot remember them all! Very often I jammed with Bennie Maupin, Steve Grossman, Richie Beirach and Chick Corea. Living in N.Y. was the richest experience of my life – when I returned from the U.S., Belgium seemed sad to me!!”
