Alfred Vogel - Vogelperspektive, Vol. 1 (feat. Billy Martin, John Schröder, Kalle Kalima & Christian Lillinger A.M.O)(boomslang records 2011)

the VOGELPERSPEKTIVE Vol 1. is a compilation of several musical projects of austrian drummer Alfred Vogel such as the band the MAGNIFICANT SEVEN, INTENSIVSTATION, LE NOIR, HELLHOUND & BIRD, a Duo with Billy Martin, a.m.o. Renown music journalist Wolf Kampmann quotes, that he never have heard avantgard music being played in such a relaxed and soulful way before. All the projects will be featured and focused on the follow up albums to come, such as VOGELPERSPEKTIVE Vol 2 to 5 in 2012 starting with the band the MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (feat. Kalle Kalima guitar, Christian Lillinger drums, Alfred Vogel drums, Flo Götte, bass). Those cowboys take an amazing improvisational approach on western movies such as ´once upon a time in the west, bonanza, a fistful of dollars´ a.m.o with the wide accoustic landscape that only 2 (!) drummers can create. Vol 3. will represent a mutant of the big names of blues history such as Skip James, Robert Johnson, Billie Holiday and others. The free experimental blues of LE NOIR is dark, hip, loud and sensitive all at once with a growling and electric modulated violine (Simon Frick), low end (Lucas Dietrich) and a 1953 bashing Gretsch drum kit. INTENSIVSTATION is a crazy trio formed around multi instrumentalist John Schröder, the free jazz pope of Berlin, who plays guitar, fender rhodes and drums simultanously. Together with swiss Wolfgang Zwiauer and Alfred Vogel the three men sound like a quartett, sometimes like a quintett, always on an adventurous surgery for new sounds. the duos with Billy Martin (MMW), hellhound & bird (with David Helbock on keys) or the trio with Andreas Schreiber and Angelika Hagen, both violine, announce Vol. 5 (SOLO, DUO, TRIO) to come later on 2012 and promise another acoustic trip besides mainstream jazz music.
