Trombonist Albert Mangelsdorff pioneered the art of jazz polyphonics, introducing to the avant-garde the symphonious tradition of playing multiple notes simultaneously. Born in Frankfurt, Germany, on September 5, 1928, Mangelsdorff grew up delighted by jazz, avid his sr. brother Emil's track record collection. His uncle, a professional violinist, gave him medicine lessons as a teenager, but the jump of the Third Reich constrained him to keep his passion for jazz in checker. Over prison term Mangelsdorff taught himself guitar, just following World War II he managed to acquire a secondhand trombone in exchange for cigarettes -- he a great deal played for audiences comprised of the American soldiers wHO remained stationed oversea, finally performing to crowds world Health Organization shared his perceptiveness for malarky. Word of Mangelsdorff's art on the trombone soon reached his feller musicians, and in 1952 he made his recording debut in support of saxist Hans Koller. He too worked in diminished groups and with the Dance Hesse Radio Orchestra throughout the x, and in 1958 was selected to help as the German illustration for the Newport Jazz Festival International Band, an chance that resulted in collaborations with U.S. giants like Gerry Mulligan and Louis Armstrong.


Upon reversive to Germany, Mangelsdorff inaugurated a fertile recording period that included collaborations with sibling Emil, Modern Jazz Quartet piano player John Lewis (the 1962 Atlantic LP Brute Dance), and his own quintette featuring his longtime associate, saxophonist Heinz Sauer. As the 10 continued, Mangelsdorff affected progressively into the realm of release jazz, culminating in his first unaccompanied solo performance at the Munich Olympic Games in 1972. He made solo trombone -- a up to now unknown conception in malarkey -- a reality via multiphonics, the physically and technically demanding co-occurrent blowing and vocalizing of notes into his saddle horn; the method opened brobdingnagian newfangled dimensions like harmonies and chords, and over the years Mangelsdorff too incorporated modal improvising and fifty-fifty rock & roll elements into the equation. In 1980, the American cartridge clip Down Beat named him the world's best trombonist -- from in that location, he worked with the NDR Big Band, the Manfred Schoof-led Old Friends, and the United Jazz + Rock Ensemble, and in 2003 celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday with an all-star festivity at Frankfurt's Die Alte Oper.
