‘Live at Audi Forum Ingolstadt’ features the classic and timeless compositions of Tadd Dameron, a truly innovator of bebop, well-known and appreciated for his beautiful lyric melodies. The pianist Tadley Ewing Peake “Tadd” Dameron was one of the great composers and arrangers in jazz history. He worked for Count Basie, Artie Shaw, Jimmy Lanceford, Dizzy Gillespie, Billy Eckstine and Sarah Vaughan. He also led various groups with musicians like John Coltrane and, more specifically, the drummer “Philly” Joe Jones. “Philly”, so called because of his Philadelphia roots, was a member of Miles Davis’s first great quintet and one of the most influential drummers of his time. In the 1980s he founded the group Dameronia Ensemble as a tribute to the time when he performed with his good friend Tadd Dameron. Drummer Bernd Reiter (Austria) is the driving force behind the octet project. He studied in Graz and New York and after several years in Munich he now lives in Paris. He was awarded several prizes, including the Hans Koller Prize, the Austrian Jazz Prize, in 2006, and has already worked with many international jazz greats. It was his long wish to present the music of Tadd Dameron and “Philly” Joe Jones, he put together a real ‘All-Star’ octet with outstanding jazz soloists from New York and Europe. Jim Rotondi (USA–trumpet) and Dick Oatts (USA–alto saxophone) are among the most outstanding musicians of the New York jazz scene. Jim Rotondi has worked with artists such as Ray Charles, Lionel Hampton, the Toshiko Akiyoshi Jazz Orchestra, Lou Donaldson, Curtis Fuller, George Coleman, and many others. He is also professor for jazz trumpet at the University of Art in Graz. Dick Oatts has been part of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Big Band (now the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra) since the late 1970s and has also worked with musicians such as Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, Chick Corea, Tito Puente, B.B. King, and Diana Ross.
