Tone Jansa
'Bouyancy'
(CS-15)
Musicians:
Tone Jansa - sax, flute
Ewald Oberleitner - bass
Andre Jeanquartier - piano
Johann Preininger - drums
This CD release features material recorded by Jansa in 1976 and 1978 for two albums on the Yugoslavian RTB label. Slovenian
Tone Jansa studied jazz at Berkley College Of Music, Boston US in the 70s, and in the 80s played with American musicians such as Woody Shaw and Freddie Hubbard on their European tours. Yugoslavian rare groove it is, but certain tracks point to the influence of such luminaries as John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders and the soul-jazz
vibe of the 1970s.
Extract from notes:
'In 70's Pharoah Sanders wasn't listening to Tone Jansa, neither Tone was listening to Pharoah but two musicians at two different parts of the world were creating at the same time unbelievably similar music. It is obvious where both of them got inspiration - Coltrane. Two albums that Tone recorded in 70's for RTB label are masterpieces of Yugoslavian Jazz. The third one that he did at the same time and in a same quality came out on Helidon label and is well worth checking. Tone's music is not worth explaining, it has to be heard. It is very spiritual at the moments, very deep and soulful and sometime just cheerful and moving, giving you urge to dance or just wiggle. Couple of the tracks might sound to long for you but if you listen to them carefully, when they finish you want more and the main theme stays in your had all day long.'
Recorded in 1976/78 and selected by Zeljko
Kerleta.

REVIEWS
PETER JOPPICH (Spinning Wheel Records)
A real strong and deep spiritual record and really worth to give him a place in your cosmic series !
MIKE CHADWICK Jazz FM, Cutting Edge
"Yugoslavian rare groove. 'Vision' instantly reminded me of Courtney Pine new album, kind of soul jazz vibe going on and yes, very nice indeed. The rest of the album is very straight ahead, very spiritual, very much in a kind of John Klemmer, Pharoah Sanders kind of mid 70's vibe..."
RONNIE SCOTT'S magazine, Chrissie Murray
Yugoslavian hard-bop (late 1970s) from super-saxophonist Jansa to make your hair curl, your heart beat and the earth move. This label should by rights be receiving state funding for its services to it's nation's heritage.
STRAIGHT NO CHASER, CC
Slovenian saxophonist, Tone Jansa studied jazz at Boston's Berkley College Of Music in the 70s and in the 80s he played with musicians like Woody Shaw and Freddie Hubbard on their European tours. 'Bouyancy' consists of two albums he recorded for RTB in 1976 and 1978 when he returned to Yugoslavia and started to play his own compositions. His music has a strong and spiritual quality which owes on obvious debt to John Coltrane. The opening track 'Yudach', with excellent double bass by Ewald Oberleitner is reminiscent of the Pharoah Sanders soul-jazz sound of the mid Seventies. Another track, 'Vizija' would not sound out of place on the new Courtney Pine album. Yugoslavian rare groove worth investigating on Cosmic Sounds.
