June 2020 III
It is an extraordinary work: bassist Matthias TC Debus, saxophonist Lömsch Lehmann and drummer Erwin Ditzner have taken on the work of Richard W. The abbreviation suffices to suggest that it is about the musical work of Richard Wagner. As a human being, Wagner was known to be an extremely repulsive journeyman, both the musicians and the label boss agree. However, his music cannot be erased from the history of music and deserves a discussion. The trio has approached Wagner’s musical motifs meticulously and with an elaborate production, penetrating them and interpreting them uniquely.
This release will be the first double LP on fixcel records and will be released in a limited edition as coloured vinyl: Debus / Lömsch / Ditzner – Die Motive des Richard W. (fixcel 21), release date November 2020.
June 2020 II
It is almost a tradition that Erwin Ditzner’s carte blanche concerts at the Enjoy Jazz Festival appear on fixcel records. Not all of them, but every now and then, when the conditions are right and the fellow musicians play along. The series started in 2010 with the recording of Crispell / Ditzner / Gramss on CD. The great performance of Takase / Eberhard / Gramss / Ditzner from 2017 has already been pressed in vinyl and now the duo concert of Chris Jarrett and Erwin Ditzner is also released as LP (fixcel 20). The work is in production, release: October 1, 2020.
June 2020
The latest news are slightly outdated, but pleasingly expanded. It smuggled itself a further CD production, about which I am very pleased: Kirsch / Hein / Ditzner – live @ Hack (rel. July 2020, fixcel 19). This is not only musically an excellent production, recorded live by Niels Reckziegel in the Wilhelm-Hack-Museum in Ludwigshafen at the release of the studio production Kirsch / Hein Ditzner – NERVOUS in 2019, it is also an extraordinary CD, because there are more released records of this band than public appearances. In fact, the three musicians have not yet met again on stage, mainly due to the many international commitments of guitarist Nicola Hein. Let’s see when these three musicians will meet again for a sparkling encounter – the recording from the Hackmuseum is convincing proof that it is absolutely necessary. Release 1.10.2020.

In the May issue of notes you can read about Schwoine: “…bundle of energy from music is the… Very dynamic and yet airily produced…we also hear a lot of our own – in the truest sense of the word. Anyone who gets carried away by “Schwoine” should definitely also check out the “Klingeltöne” album by the creative duo … check out.

On 7.12.08, 17.00, the Ditzner Lömsch Duo will play in Mattl Dörsam’s studio stage in Fürth. Music is of course the most important thing, but next to it there is a small jazz photo exhibition by Frank Schindelbeck on the walls. With the concert in the studio stage the duo quasi returns to the scene of the crime, because the recordings for “Klingeltöne” and “Schwoine” took place right next door in Matthias Dörsam’s Laukas recording studio.

“Schwoine” is presented in the World of Music at Radio Tonkuhle – Feien Radio Hildesheim by Juli Ndoci.
She already said in advance: “I like it very much, very much even”. We think: the woman has a fine taste and who has the opportunity, should not miss the show – which can also be received over the Internet via live stream
2008/10/08
The CD release of “Schwoine” and “Klingetöne” at the Mannheim Klappsmühl was a complete success. The concert was well received, as were the CDs. You can read about it here and here at u1amo01. “Klingeltöne” was CD of the week at Charakterschutz.de – but the review seems to have disappeared again.
