ALLEGRO WELCOMES ENJA RECORDS TO ITS ROSTER! Two jazz fans, Matthias Winckelmann and Horst Weber, recorded US ex-patriate Mal Waldron in July 1971 at the famed Domicile jazz club in Munich, Germany. Encouraged by the internationally positive reaction to the LP, they founded ENJA Records in March 1972. In 1986, Winckelmann intensified the label’s output, adding worldmusic-inclined musicians to the steadily growing roster. In 1996 M.W. was awarded the Honors prize of the German Phonographic Critics for “succeeding with ambitioned projects in a market swamped by mediocrity.”

ENJA is successfully distributed today in nearly all global territories by independent distribution.

Selling points • Lee Konitz (who turned 80 just three weeks after this recording) was a key figure in the innovations of 1949 that became known as the birth of the “cool school.” Over decades, Konitz stayed true to his cool message: a mobile magician of the saxophone inventing new melodic lines on the spot, again and again and again.

• Half a century later, three young students at Berklee College of Music found themselves in the process of forming an extraordinary trio: Minsarah (Hebrew for “prism”). Like a prism, this trio breaks up conventional structures to bring dramatic, lyrical, melodic, and rhythmic facets to the surface.

• The trio’s pianist, Florian Weber, is a multi-award winner and a renowned classical player. American bass player Jeff Denson received the Berklee Outstanding Performer Award in 2002. Born in Israel, Ziv Ravitz was the house drummer at Tel Aviv’s Camelot Jazz Club and a recipient of the Zildjian Scholarship Award in 2003. In 2006, the group received a German Record Critics Award for their outstanding self-titled album.

Selling Points • A professional trumpet player since 1961 and an ENJA recording artist since 1980, Franco Ambrosetti is hailed among Europe’s most prolific jazz musicians, with a string of great, individual, and highly acclaimed albums. th • The Wind, Ambrosetti’s 13 ENJA album as a leader, is named after its opener, an outstanding Russ Freeman composition that Chet Baker made famous in 1952. Other bows to fellow musicians include a new version of Sonny Rollins’ 1954 classic “Doxy” and the leader’s own “Mike On Wings,” a re-working of his collaboration with the late Mike Brecker back in 1984.

• After three leader albums in a row featuring his son Gianluca on soprano sax and Dado Moroni on piano, The Wind presents the trumpeter in a new surrounding, accompanied by the current all-American trio of pianist Uri Caine, who also contributed two great tunes to the album (“Otello” and “Stiletto”).

• Concentrating on the trumpet and fuelled by the cooking energy of Uri Caine, Drew Gress, and Clarence Penn, Ambrosetti’s playing radiates a power and youthfulness that belie his age of 66.

Featured Artists Franco Ambrosetti: trumpet Uri Caine: piano Drew Gress: bass Clarence Penn: drums Track Listing The Wind • Doxy • Otello • Stiletto • Frasi • I’ve Never Been In Love Before • Lyrical Sketches • Mike On Wings • African Breeze

Introducing THE In the ’70s the major labels tended to lose sight of acoustic jazz and a vital jazz market developed in Europe and Japan. Many American artists badly needed this input from abroad in order to continue playing their music. ENJA Records was among the first

labels to catch acoustic jazz in its unpredictable evolution. ENJA documented the most enthralling soloists and bands, building the basis for its long success story. These early recordings did not only record complete bands, but also combined innovative duo or trio

Eric Dolphy Stockholm Sessions Selling points Recorded on Eric Dolphy’s first visit to Europe, this album features the strongest pieces from his previous records and playing by some of Scandinavia’s best, plus US expatriates Idrees Sulieman and Jimmy Woode.

Most fascinating are Dolphy’s bass clarinet features in the slow blues “Serene” and the unaccompanied Billie Holiday tribute “God Bless the Child.”

Introducing THE ensembles. In the first days of digital technology those ENJA milestone albums were sometimes treated a bit unkindly. We were LP people, and digital mastering was a far cry from today’s advanced technology. So, the label decided to give new life to

important recordings and established the “ENJA 24bit Master Edition,” re-mastering from analog sources with state of the art technology, including bonus tracks (if existent), and featuring fresh, updated design and beautiful digipak packaging.

Chet Baker Peace Selling points Recorded in 1982, Peace is a lovely example of Chet Baker’s intimate combo work. The uncommon instrumentation with marimba and the original, somewhat challenging music by David Friedman inspired Baker to record one of his most intense and thoughtful albums. “Lament for Thelonious” is the highlight: written and recorded directly after Thelonious Monk’s death, the song cries tears of joy as well as sorrow. New Chet Baker recording coming in October 2008.

Featured artists Chet Baker: trumpet/David Friedman: marimba, vibraphone/Buster Williams: bass/Joe Chambers: drums Track listing 3 + 1 = 5 • Peace • Lament For Thelonious • The Song Is You • Shadows • For Now • 3 + 1 = 5 (alternate take) • Peace (alternate take previously unreleased)

Kenny Barron Scratch Selling points A highlight of the ENJA catalog, this trio recording received the prestigious Prix Bud Powell de l’Académie du Jazz in 1986. Scratch is still one of the finest and most challenging recordings Kenny Barron has ever made. A multi-poll winner, Barron has accompanied Abbey Lincoln, Barney Kessel, Chet Baker, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, and many others. Sensing the soloist’s potential, Matthias Winckelmann called the pianist in early 1985 to propose this trio recording with bass champion Dave Holland and drum wizard Daniel Humair.

Selling Points • An incredibly gifted composer and guitar player, Cam Newton reflects on the beauty and silence of Oregon’s High Desert. This is a “soul-touching” listening experience.

• Newton’s music reflects a deep love of, and commitment to, the natural world and the environment. Indeed, much of his composing has taken place in the high desert, mountains, and other remote environments, which can be felt in this recording.

• The Basin and Range country of Oregon’s High Desert has always been a touchstone and a source of solace, clarity, and inspiration for Newton. When one is immersed in the peace, expansiveness, and wild beauty of Oregon’s Outback, the Triple Muse appears: meditation/ memory/song.

Featured Artists Cam Newton: acoustic and classical guitars Mark Schneider: bass Tim Connell: mandolin Track Listing • Open Country (Improvisational) • Accepting What You Can’t Change • Inextinguishable (Duo) • Spring Melt • Rimrock (Improvisational) • Where Water Once Was # (Trio) • A Quick Glimpse • Nocturne • Hint of Blue # ^ (Trio) • Loading Wood • Sky Cam • In the Presence • Desert Solitaire • Reflecting Sky

press quotes “Newton conveys a lust for life via passionate and primarily upbeat choruses that often bespeak a world beat groove amid peaceable melodies … much of it could be associated with new age or radio friendly fare, yet the artist’s often expressive, prismatic aural canvasses translate into ethereal, soothing, and moderately energetic motifs.”

Selling points • Not since Lucinda Williams debuted with an all-acoustic solo album of traditional country blues in 1979 has an artist appeared on the folk-blues scene with the immediate authority of guitarist Kelly Joe Phelps. Equally indebted to traditional pioneers of Delta-style country blues like Leadbelly and Blind Lemon Jefferson as well as more exploratory visionaries like Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder, Phelps sings with dusty wisdom and plays like a master.

• Lead Me On opens with the traditional gospel tune “I’ve Been Converted” but focuses almost exclusively on magnificent originals from then on.

• Engineered by Mike Moore. Recorded at Dead Aunt Thelma’s.

• This debut evergreen has scanned over 25,000 copies.

selling points • Gorgeous deluxe digipak features gold & silver embossed design.

• After recording with jazz greats, traditional Arab musicians, and classical string quartets—as well as writing symphonic orchestral works for the BBC Orchestra and the Ensemble Modern—what would a Lebanese composer do next? Of course he would go to Portugal and record the songs a young fado singer from Lisbon!

• Rabih Abou-Khalil discovered Ricardo Ribeiro, a young singer from Lisbon who had already established a reputation for himself. He sings Abou-Khalil’s compositions as if they were his own, mastering the complicated rhythms and unusual melodic lines with absolute ease.

• The result is an “imaginary folklore”; a music that sounds new and strange, yet familiar and natural, as if it had always existed. Perhaps it is the missing link between East and West, classical and modern, folklore and art music, deeply rooted in the everywhere and the nowhere.

• Born in Tunisia in 1967, composer, singer, and oud player Dhafer Youssef has been living and working in Vienna since 1990 with such artists as Sainkho Namchylak, Paolo Fresu, Arto Tuncboyacian, Linda Sharrock, Wolfgang Puschnig, Christian Muthspiel, Jamey Haddad, Iva Bittova, Tom Cora and other great improvisers.
