AL BLATTER DUO, “The CERN Concert”
Recorded LIVE at CERN--GENEVA, SWITZERLAND--September 8, 1998
This
is my first CD. Jean-Yves Petiot and I had been enjoying playing in
duet together for about a year. My late student / CERN Scientist -
Inventor / Co-Producer Jean-David Pahud organized this event in
September, 1998. We taped the Concert LIVE to DAT, with no plans for a
CD release. However, this recording began taking-on “a life of
its own” in early 1999 when Jean-David had the tapes mixed and
engineered into a CD format. Afterwards, my good friend José
Miguel Ferreira (JMF Photography
& computer consultant) began playing with CD packaging design. We
eventually “arrived” at the present Cover Art and produced
a few copies for a small group of friends and supporters towards the
end of 1999. Eventually, more people began inquiring about purchasing a
copy. One thing led to another and after some further production
revisions, we finally released “The CERN Concert” officially in March, 2000.

GA-BLA! “Edition One”
Recorded at STUDIO ARTEFAX; Lausanne, Switzerland
January 14, 2000
Chronologically,
this is my second CD though it is my first Studio Recording. Christian
Gavillet and myself had been writing music together for about a year at
the time this was recorded. We decided to record a DEMO CD to document
our Music. After preparing diligently for about 2 months, we recorded
all the tracks in one day. Everybody played great, the energy level was
extraordinarily high, and we produced a solid first CD together. As a
result, we decided to release this as a “Mini-CD.” We like
to call the style of these Compositions--and the GA-BLA!
concept--”World Jazz.” We are presently in
“Pre-Production” for our next CD with GA-BLA!: “Edition Two.”

AL BLATTER TRIO, “Dumont 18”
Recorded LIVE at Galerie Dumont 18--GENEVA, SWITZERLAND
June 13, 2000
Chronologically,
this is my third CD and my first Trio CD recorded LIVE. This recording
was hastened by the unexpected permanent departure to the U.S. of our
Bassist at the time, Peter Bouteneff. We had been playing together as a
Trio--with Jean-Philippe Larpin on drums-- for about a year. This
recording most sincerely documents our Music together. It was a great
evening and the subsequent “feedback” has been most
positive. “Dumont 18” was released in October of 2000.
