DUSSELDORF, GERMANY October 1998
"It's a Trio" Part III
"A TRIBUTE TO DENIS CHARLES"
     Thomas Borgmann (sax)
     Wilber Morris (bass)
     Reggie Nicholson (dr):
Free, spontaneous music, which made its greatest impact in Free Jazz of the sixties and seventies, is represented today by a small group of musicians. Thomas Borgmann's trio is unusual in that there is an entire generation ( and more) between the two Black musicians from New York and Borgmann himself. The Berlin sax player first heard Denis Charles in a 1955 recording- the year he was born!! Denis Charles is found on recordings with Cecil Taylor, Sonny Rollins, and Don Cherry, to mention a few. A long musical friendship connects Denis with Wilbur Morris who has been heard in Europe  playing with David Murray and Charles Gayle.
