Otto Bredl

Otto Bredl is a German jazz trombonist whose stable presence for the Western european music picture began in the years rigtht after the finish of the next World Battle. His horn playing, enthusiastic and juicy to a near-slobbering stage, was an atmospheric feature of several American night clubs that sprung up in Munich during this time period. Between 1948 as well as the middle ’80s, Bredl made an appearance on at least 100 recordings, including some collaborations between Western big rings and going to American jazz celebrities. The view of Bredl inside a brass section was an indicator of quality, sure to increase to the additional trombonists flanking him — great players such as for example his regular associate Jiggs Whigham, or the flashy Stan Kenton alumni Bobby Burgess. Ahead of discovering trombone as well as the music of Jack port Teagarden, Bredl performed a straight weirder device, the bassoon. His early teaching is at the traditional academy, a predicament he was yanked from by the possibilities in night clubs and following grander publicity over German radio. From 1949 he was gradually used in the well-financed broadcasting studios by radio bandleaders Kurt Edelhagen and Eddie Sauter. By 1961, he previously become from the fantastic Clarke-Boland Big Music group, a collaborative work between French pianist Francy Boland as well as the American bebop drummer Kenny Clarke. Bredl continued to be versatile as the genre he adored went through intervals of adolescent angst; fusion, for instance, arrived in the ’70s and may be straight blamed for the trombonist’s participation with projects like the recording Illusions on the Double Dimple from the group Triumvirat. Hard blowing was also necessary for his ’70s task with bandleader Peter Herbolzheimer, who, it should be assumed, understood how exactly to torture trombonists since he performed the device himself. No reflecting on dimples right here; a retrospective of the band offers of including Powerhouse Sounds from the ’70s. Bredl, whose name appears like something one might purchase within a Munich bakery, in addition has documented with vocalist Sarah Vaughan, tenor saxophonist Stan Getz, as well as the ’50s pop vocalist Caterina Valente.
