Seldom do I dare to leave my downtown library and even more seldom do I appear in photos, but for the crew of Root70 and the final photo of this collection I made an exception. After writing nume­rous Liner notes for this burning combo through out its 20 years of history, the band’s tour of Central America in 2016 was my first chance to hear them in the flesh on stage. And boy was that a gig and a half! The wooden theatre in downtown Guatemala City was almost scorched and charred black by the hot jazz that was served up to a rap­turous crowd who were surely tasting the Root70 songbook for the first time. Backstage I had a chance to share a wine with the men and meet face to face the stalwart swingers I had so long admired. And indeed it is from that long memorable night of stories from the road that I could craft some petite

anecdotes to prelude this photographic essay of an endangered species: a true working band.

Kalchreuth-Wernigerode I’ve noted before that Root70’s exhaustive years of touring have featured a plethora of German towns that are neither possible to pronounce nor remember. It is in the once smoky depths of their respective Jazz cellars or «Caipi Bars» that the band cut its teeth and formed the sound that has made them instantly recognisable today. Chisholm seems to stand proudly in front of the deserted train station of Kalchreuth, yet the deserted, Kafka­esque surroundings of these settlements, the solitary light from the unassailable castle overlooking the cold village, and the lonely quiet evenings in sordid and decrepit inns with sawdust floors must

surely have taken their toll on these road warriors. It was something I caught more in the hue of their eyes than from the lines on their faces and on that particular night in Guatemala, it was above all else related by the raw immediacy and graceful depth of their band sound. Yes, the band sound.

Mexico The members of the combo are portrayed individually in an airport waiting lounge with the blue Mexican sky extending endlessly behind them. Penman is checking his phone, Rückert sipping a beverage, Chisholm gazing into space, and the band leader Wogram is deep in his thoughts with a beer. As a simple fan and critic, we can only guess as to what it really means to clock up hundreds of thousands of miles touring the world over. These portraits exude a zen­like quality of travellers who have walked literally for days in the post­9/11 zig­zagged cattle ­like pre­immigration waiting zones and been packed tightly into runway transport buses as the airbridge stands emtpy

so often that their only option was to expect the very worst and hold tight to their childhood dream, in this case jazz, whatever the cost.

Berlin But there is sunlight in between the cruel drudgery of modern travel, and the black and white studio photos from the sadly now defunct yet once legendary Nelepa Strasse studios in Berlin in which several Root70 sides were cut bring us close to a place where they really shine: up­close and intimate in a great sounding room. The Luxury Habits recording shot gives us a precious glimpse into a type of Jazz recording that has sadly ebbed in popularity (for reasons to be dis sected another time) in which the musicians set up closely together with no headphones and record directly to tape. This can only be done when the band sound is in itself perfectly balanced and several of the groups albums were made this way. To this day, Wise Men Can be Wrong re mains one of my all­time favourites.

Maastricht to Masada This photo volume reveals some of the personal stories of the band as they collectively age like a fine wine through the years. In Holland we see them congregating at one of the infamous through­the­wall eateries in which the crab sticks must be a wicked chemical assault to the stomachs of men who all pride themselves as being very decent cooks. Searching for the right sustenance on these arduous tours, I learned, be came an immutable ritual of sorts that could make or break the day off­stage.

High on Masada in Israel under the gla­ring heat the band poses with the Dead Sea in the distance. No one in that moment could have guessed that the fine lass who out of goodwill clicked the shutter would one day become the bassist’s beloved wife. Surely many other priceless moments like this one were shared by this Quartet who, beyond the music, strike me as sharing a deep friendship far beyond the stage.

New Plymouth to New YorkChanging continents like they do haircuts in this collection, the captioned place names reveal the extensive touring of this band. Nils himself was unable to put an exact number on the gigs but with 20 years of touring now under their belt, the two Kiwis and the two Ger mans will surely have more than a few stories to tell. In the sax man’s home town of New Plymouth, we see the Rhythm section relaxing on the black volcanic sand. And in the now hometown of the Rhythm section in New York City, we see the band at work at Avatar Studios – another legendary studio also fallen prey to development and to be remembered only in sound. This reason makes albums like Fahrvergnügen all the more prized in my collection.

Hannover The photos from Hannover way back in 2002 reveal another two important facets to the band: education and a healthy dose of humour. Throughout their strenuous

ROOT_FOTO_BOOKLET_12.12.DEF.indd 9 12.12.19 12:09

Page 8: ROOT FOTO BOOKLET 12.12.DEF - uk-promotion.de

concert programming, the men from Root70 have always striven to share and teach whenever possible, fully aware that some of these young upcoming jazz talents from Russia or Honduras could well become the downtown cats and session kings of the coming decades. In the Hannover workshop concert we see the band in drag clothing, a provocative gesture which was employed on several tours, most notoriously in Russia where security teams were once at hand to protect the jazzmen from jazz fans unwilling or unable to swallow a dose of irony blending with the hot jazz. As the story goes, to break the monotony of touring European jazz clubs, theatrical elements like moustaches, sunburn, drag clothing and Chisholm’s erotic Tai Chi announcements were thrown into the concerts, sometimes sending them swiftly into the realm of performance art, something this critic is not qualified to comment on.

CodaThe beginning quote is not necessarily meant to insinuate that the characters of this band were forged in the oftentimes dark and lonely world of jazz touring, but we can clearly observe in sound and pictures the unrelenting brush of time painting away through these pas­sing decades. If I have tried throughout the years with my humble Liner notes to get a little closer to the essence of the music made by these men, then these photos reveal a more personal side to their story. It’s a story worthy of telling, full of delightful sound and fury and peppered with that elusive thing we like to call jazz. Ahmet Shabo, NYC 2019
