double - 50 years in jazz is a 1997 retrospective of Coco Schumann's work in the form of a double CD, which includes recordings from 1947 to 1997. The focus is on his first album Rhythm Cocktail , released in Australia in 1952, and a number of recordings from Berlin in the 1950s and 1960s that were produced for radio . The titles are almost exclusively instrumental numbers, including various jazz standards and several original compositions as well as some private live recordings from Berlin.
Music genre
As a teenager, during the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin , Schumann came into contact with swing music, which was tolerated on the occasion , first learned to play the drums and then discovered the guitar for himself. After the war Schumann was one of the first owners of an electric guitar in Germany, the pickup of which had been constructed in 1946/47 by Wenzel and Roger Rossmeisl from parts of Wehrmacht headphones. The electric guitar has remained his trademark to this day. Returning to Berlin from Australia in 1954, he was stylistically versatile and took on the fads of the time such as Latin American rhythms and in the 1970s also played on cruise ships and dance events. After a break, he returned to classical jazz in 1990 with a trio formation.
Emergence
When Kalle Laar , publisher at Trikont-Verlag , presented Schumann with a specimen copy of the second La Paloma compilation on which Schumann is represented, Schumann invited him to his private archive, which also contains copies of the 1952 vinyl record from Australia as well as a single and numerous shellac records and radio studio tapes. From this, the two put together the present CD.
