| Born in the Swiss canton Wallis in 1972, trumpeter and part-time mountainguide Mengis probably is virtually unknown to most people. It thus comesas a surprise that his first release is for a label that has not pledgeditself to promote and encourage local young talents but to track downadventurous and ambitious music of our time. Which, however, is anothersign that the world of jazz has been undergoing fundamental changes forthe past couple of years. Whoever still believes that New York is thehub of the jazz world is on the wrong track. Unfortunately manyinfluential CD producers, festival organisers and music critics arestill barking up the wrong tree (even in Europe), thus it will take sometime for innovative impulses from regions which so far have beenregarded as the periphery to be duly recognised. Globalisation, whichhas often been demonised, could turn out to be a truly positive force inthis respect. – Tom Gsteiger |
