Oscar Peterson Trio, 1961 Cologne Gürzenich Concert Hall, 2011 on Jazzline

Part of a series of Jazzline releases called WDR The Cologne Broadcasts, which collects concerts recorded by Westdeutscher Rundfunk (German public radio), including this 1961 appearance of the classic Oscar Peterson Trio with Ed Thigpen and Ray Brown.

Recorded at the Gürzenich on April 11th, 1961 by an unkown recording engineer and mastered by Thomas Sehringer for release in 2011 on 180g vinyl. As with most (all?) Jazzline recordings in the WDR series, liner notes in German and English.

They fill out side two of the second LP with songs from other Jazzline releases: John Coltrane, Bud Powell, Dave Brubeck, and Modern Jazz Quartet recordings from 1960 and 1959 in West German cities. (Better than having an etching of the Gürzenrich or something on the fourth side).

Great sounding concert – wonderful versions of “My Funny Valentine” and “Con Alma” in particular.

My copy via private sale.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge April 16: Cash for #NationalCashDay

Good-for-nothing Willi (Charly Wierzejewski) is in trouble. After yet another run-in with the law, and yet again meeting the wrong people at the wrong time, he falls in love with a destitute street worker (Eva Mattes). Now he really needs #money so he can support himself, her, and her kid. He tries his hand at renting himself out to a rich homosexual [homosexuality was illegal in 1970s W Germany], then moves forward to robbing the money transporter of a local supermarket with his pimp buddy. But as usual, Willi is in trouble.

Shot on location in #Hamburg's red-light district St. Pauli, Supermarkt (Roland Klick, 1974) is gritty, unpleasant and has an authenticity rarely seen in other films of this genre. An absolute recommendation.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge April 6: Someone is rejected on #SorryCharlieDay

A scandal, that's what it was! In the late 1960s, Peter Fleischmann picked the picturesque Catholic village of #Landshut as the backdrop for Jagdszenen aus #Niederbayern, the #film adaptation of Martin Sperr's #TheatrePlay with the same name.

A young man named Abram – played by Sperr – returns to his family village. Soon the townspeople's thorns move from the in their eyes other disgraceful villagers to the much-needed mechanic.

Where did he return from? He was in prison. What for? For being a homosexual. He's a #Drecksau (a dirty pig), his mother says. The village whore can't turn him around. A sow is slaughtered in real time in celebration of a successful #harvest and plans for the town's future are forged.

While created when West Germany's #Paragrafen175 was in place [1872–1994], illegality of same-sex relations], the homosexual aspect wasn't the main cause of the outrage. Some of the Landshutter villagers who played alongside the professional actors felt they were depicted as being backwards. This isn't a movie about hunting, sigted some. Lifting the veil of the prevalence of, a #Fernweh in a sense, *that* Germany (hush) was another.

Catholic Mass is a theatrical re-enactment of the life and suffering of the son of God. When rites outstay their meaning, when invocations turn routine, the worshippers lose sight.

#OnThisDate, March 21, Grauzone [Zones] (Fredi M. #Murer, 1979) is the #FilmDuJour. #film #Switzerland #WestGermany #Ballardian ★★★★½

This is a fascinating in-depth news story from 1977 about #WestGermany dealing with dissent & #violence aimed at the #state apparatus. Many questions are asked that are with us today, such as what are the limits of the state, the limits of #HumanRights, and what is the #CostOfPeace if that peace requires draconian measures, and, of course, what is the state to do with domestic #terrorists in a highly charged #political situation.
