Liner Notes for Würzburg Jazz Orchestra - Artistry in Rhythm - The Music of Stan Kenton - feat. Ed Partyka:
In spring 2005 I founded the ‘Würzburg Jazz Orchestra’ (WJO), which was meant to be the
successor of the ‘Big Band der Jazzinitiative Würzburg’, for a special project namely the ‘Tribute
to Don Ellis feat Thomas Gansch’. Looking at it back now the development of the band has been
outstanding and, even for us, rather surprising. After the ‘Don Ellis’-concert and besides several
other performances, we experienced another heyday during the jazz festival in Würzburg 2005
when we performed the suite ‘Continental Call’, composed by Ed Partyka. Since January 2006
we have made regular guest appearances in ‘Würzburger Bockshorn’.
All these experiences and the positive critique have encouraged me and the band to continue. It
is an absolute pleasure introducing you to this Live-CD, which is our first contribution via a sound
carrier. Herewith, I would also like to promise to you that the WJO will do its best to still perform
extraordinary concerts and work on unique projects. However, for the time being,
I hope you will enjoy ‘Artristy in Rhythm – The Music of Stan Kenton’ and am looking forward to
greeting you at one of our up-coming concerts.

(founder and leader of the ‘Würzburg Jazz Orchestra’)

As everybody knows, Europe has now become the creative center for large ensemble in jazz
(big band to the more mature generation). Germany has developed an especially healthy big
band scene and one of the most exciting additions to the scene is the WJO.
What sets the WJO apart from the rest is the band’s ability to master a multitude of styles,
from the historical program presented on this recording through to very modern music written
specifically for the band. I’ve had the pleasure of working with the WJO on several occasions
and I’m always impressed with the tight section work, outstanding soloists, musicality and the
enthusiasm of Markus Geiselhart and the entire WJO.
I’m sure you’ll be equally impressed – enjoy!
