As it is, the highlight of my 1990s jazz listening was to be in the audience ten years ago when this trio played the closing set of the Bath Festival jazz weekend, so my favourite 90s recording is my tape (now wearing rather thin) of the radio broadcast of this gig. I expect there is an archive tape gathering dust in a BBC vault somewhere.

Following is a list with some european musicians that were not mentioned yet & because I'm Swiss I did throw in a lot of Swiss stuff - not because I'm a chauvinist pig but because I really think that Switzerland has a very diverse, wonderful and unfortunately not very well known jazz scene.

Irène Schweizer (Piano): Theoria (Intakt Records 1991) a very special recording feat. the "first lady" of european improvised music (see: http://www.intaktrec.ch/theoria-a.htm) Franz Koglmann: L'heure bleue (Hat Hut Records 1991) the Austrian "white line" trumpeter with his Monoblue Quartet and in Duo with Dutch pianist Misha Mengelberg Edward Vesala Sound & Fury: Nordic Gallery (ECM 1993/94) the great late Finnish drummer was an odd ball and his band a strange community; they made some very special recordings for ECM; this one is my favorite one because of the first tune: "Bird In The High Room" Misha Mengelberg Trio: Who's Bridge (Disk Union 1994) with Brad Jones on bass and Joey Baron on drums Mr. Mengelberg recorded some his early compositions - very funny and sometimes quite strange - produced by John Zorn Koch-Schütz-Studer: Hardcore Chambermusic (Intakt Records 1994) the first recording of Switzerland's most daring electro-acoustic band (Sampling-Extravaganza meets free playing meets weird structures meets freaky sound ...); John Zorn freaked out when he heard that one Michael Gassmann / Stefano Battaglia / Wolgang Zwiauer / Roberto Gatto: An Italian Affair (Unit Records 1994) two Swiss and two Italian musicians in a gorgeous, very lyrical live recording - a lot of Interplay going on; Gassmann plays "more" trumpet on this recording than on Battaglia's new Pasolini-homage on ECM Bobo Stenson / Anders Jormin / Jon Christensen: War Orphans (ECM 1997) I was really shocked when I saw that this piano-player from Sweden was not mentioned in "your" lists, he still seems to be a well-kept secret in the States (even after several years in the band of Charles Lloyd); his playing is so deep and so unpretentious and this was one of the great trios of the epoch; Norwegian drummer Jon Christensen shapes the music in some very unusal ways Day & Taxi: About (Percaso 1997) Sax-player and composer Christoph Gallio (who runs his own label) with his sax-bass-drums-trio; I would say this music is somewhere between Lacy and Ornette; John Corbett wrote great liner notes for this CD GAS: Great American Songs (Musikszene Schweiz 1999) I wrote the liner notes for this piano-trio-gem so maybe I should better shut up ... my favorite Swiss band, no question about it ... Piano-player Hans Feigenwinter developed his own, very idiosyncratic vocabulary, in my opinion he is besides Mr. Mehldau the most interesting pianists of this generation (he was born in 1965, so he is actually some years older than "wunderkind" Brad) ... and let's not forget Bänz Oester (bass) and Norbert Pfammatter (drums): one of Switzerland's really great Groove-teams Andy Scherrer Quartet: Second Step (TCB 1999) the late debut of tenor-player Scherrer who belongs to the category of "musicians' musician" - he plays in the tradition of Henderson, Shorter, Coltrane et al., but really strong and in his own way & some hip American shit: if I remember correctly nobody mentioned those two killer recordings: John Scofield Quartet: What We Do (Blue Note 1992) John Scofield Quartet: Meant to Be (Blue Note 1990) Sco & Lovano: Wow!!!

Enrico Pieranunzi / Charlie Haden / Billy Higgins: First Song (Soul Note 1990)
this “dream team” also made a nice recording with Chet Baker, but this trio-session is the real deal; there was much more fantastic music played and recorded by Italian pianist Pieranunzi in the 90s (i.e. Flux and Change, a duo-concert with Paul Motian from 1992, also on Soul Note)

Barry Guy & London Jazz Composers Orchestra feat. Irène Schweizer (Piano): Theoria (Intakt Records 1991)
a very special recording feat. the “first lady” of european improvised music (see: http://www.intaktrec.ch/theoria-a.htm)

Franz Koglmann: L’heure bleue (Hat Hut Records 1991)
the Austrian “white line” trumpeter with his Monoblue Quartet and in Duo with Dutch pianist Misha Mengelberg

Edward Vesala Sound & Fury: Nordic Gallery (ECM 1993/94)
the great late Finnish drummer was an odd ball and his band a strange community; they made some very special recordings for ECM; this one is my favorite one because of the first tune: “Bird In The High Room”

Misha Mengelberg Trio: Who’s Bridge (Disk Union 1994)
with Brad Jones on bass and Joey Baron on drums Mr. Mengelberg recorded some his early compositions – very funny and sometimes quite strange – produced by John Zorn

Koch-Schütz-Studer: Hardcore Chambermusic (Intakt Records 1994)
the first recording of Switzerland’s most daring electro-acoustic band (Sampling-Extravaganza meets free playing meets weird structures meets freaky sound …); John Zorn freaked out when he heard that one

Michael Gassmann / Stefano Battaglia / Wolgang Zwiauer / Roberto Gatto: An Italian Affair (Unit Records 1994)
two Swiss and two Italian musicians in a gorgeous, very lyrical live recording – a lot of Interplay going on; Gassmann plays “more” trumpet on this recording than on Battaglia’s new Pasolini-homage on ECM

Bobo Stenson / Anders Jormin / Jon Christensen: War Orphans (ECM 1997)
I was really shocked when I saw that this piano-player from Sweden was not mentioned in “your” lists, he still seems to be a well-kept secret in the States (even after several years in the band of Charles Lloyd); his playing is so deep and so unpretentious and this was one of the great trios of the epoch; Norwegian drummer Jon Christensen shapes the music in some very unusal ways

Day & Taxi: About (Percaso 1997)
Sax-player and composer Christoph Gallio (who runs his own label) with his sax-bass-drums-trio; I would say this music is somewhere between Lacy and Ornette; John Corbett wrote great liner notes for this CD

GAS: Great American Songs (Musikszene Schweiz 1999)
I wrote the liner notes for this piano-trio-gem so maybe I should better shut up … my favorite Swiss band, no question about it … Piano-player Hans Feigenwinter developed his own, very idiosyncratic vocabulary, in my opinion he is besides Mr. Mehldau the most interesting pianists of this generation (he was born in 1965, so he is actually some years older than “wunderkind” Brad) … and let’s not forget Bänz Oester (bass) and Norbert Pfammatter (drums): one of Switzerland’s really great Groove-teams

Andy Scherrer Quartet: Second Step (TCB 1999)
the late debut of tenor-player Scherrer who belongs to the category of “musicians’ musician” – he plays in the tradition of Henderson, Shorter, Coltrane et al., but really strong and in his own way

& some hip American shit:

if I remember correctly nobody mentioned those two killer recordings:
John Scofield Quartet: What We Do (Blue Note 1992)
John Scofield Quartet: Meant to Be (Blue Note 1990)
Sco & Lovano: Wow!!! Marc Johnson or Dennis Irwin & Bill Stewart: Wow!!! – this was one of the bands that “defined” 90s jazz …

I'm very comfortable with the top 3, even though it's very possible Douglas & Vandermark did better things in the 90's. Here are the best ones I have (in order): 1) Charms Of The Night Sky - Dave Douglas 2) Single Piece Flow - Vandermark 5 3) Toys - Uri Caine 4) Reincarnation Of A Love Bird - Paul Motian 5) Conversin' With The Elders - James Carter 6) Beyond The Missouri Sky - Charlie Haden 7) All Kooked Out! - Stanton Moore 8) Like Minds - Gary Burton 9) So Near, So Far - Joe Henderson 10) Have A Little Faith - Bill Frisell I've ordered a Lovano and Lan Xang CD to help start beefing up the '90s.
