| Born in the Swiss canton Wallis in 1972, trumpeter and part-time mountain
guide Mengis probably is virtually unknown to most people. It thus comes
as a surprise that his first release is for a label that has not pledged
itself to promote and encourage local young talents but to track down
adventurous and ambitious music of our time. Which, however, is another
sign that the world of jazz has been undergoing fundamental changes for
the past couple of years. Whoever still believes that New York is the
hub of the jazz world is on the wrong track. Unfortunately many
influential CD producers, festival organisers and music critics are
still barking up the wrong tree (even in Europe), thus it will take some
time for innovative impulses from regions which so far have been
regarded as the periphery to be duly recognised. Globalisation, which
has often been demonised, could turn out to be a truly positive force in
this respect. – Tom Gsteiger |
