In the jazz populace, Vienna is around as far from New York's Lincoln Center as you can buoy get. It follows that Mathias Rüegg's Vienna Art Orchestra has around as much in common with Wynton Marsalis' Lincoln Center crowing ring as a Sacher torte has with a Hostess Cup Cake; piece they share some ingredients, the Austrian mathematical product satisfies on a more than profound layer. By the grow of the century, the Lincoln Center paradigm defined the jazz large stripe as a finished concept -- locked into the past, portion mostly as a repertory ensemble. The VAO, on the other paw, spell hardly ignoring traditional jazz verities, lives in the stage and looks to the next. Rather than relying on a narrowly taken variation of malarkey chronicle, they piddle their own, combine elements of jazz (mainstream through avant-garde), definitive (Erik Satie is a Rüegg front-runner), and patois music with intelligence and not a lilliputian mood. Rüegg was born in Zurich, Switzerland. He ascertained jazz in secondary schooling and he stirred to Austria and attended the Musikhochschule in Graz in the early '70s. He affected to Vienna and worked as a solo piano player in a nightspot. Solo became a twain with the addition of saxophonist Wolfgang Puschnig. The ensemble grew further; finally it was comprised of as many as 16 musicians, and the VAO was born. The band ne'er adhered to ceremonious large stripe orchestration. Rüegg regularly incorporates instruments such as marimba, bass clarinet, piccolo, bass horn, and regular alphorn into his arrangements and compositions. Neither does the band stick to a distinctive public presentation format; for model, they've worked with choirs and establishment bands, for television system and film. By 1980, the band had developed a reputation, receiving invitations to perform at festivals in Cologne and Zurich; that year, the ring as well signed their number 1 recording contract with the Swiss hatART pronounce. In 1984, they toured the U.S. and finished starting time in the Down Beat magazine publisher critics' pate for Talent Deserving Wider Recognition. By the late '80s, they were firmly established as one of the world's finest large ensembles, a condition they kept up into the next century. Rüegg was the band's sole author for the number one 15 years of its creation. In 1992, he began catching turn to other composers and arrangers, although the dance band continued to bear his unerasable stamp.
