A Father and Son Dialogue
Father: Joerg Widmoser, jazz violinist
Son: Leander Widmoser, striving young drummer: hip hop, rock, pop and more…
Father hears his son in his practice room, listens, snaps his fingers and then knocks.
Son: Come on in, Dad.
Father: Quite impressing what you’re doing there on the drums. I have to admit. You made a good decision at the age of five to give up the violin and beat around on our pots and pans – your first drums. Rhythm is what you’re all about!
Son: (grins)
Father: How about doing a jazz CD with me?
Son: Sure! I’m game! Who’s in the band?
Father: It’s just you and me, father and son. When I was in the US years back, I had the chance to play with the great jazz violinist, John Blake and his son drummer, Jonathan Blake. He had also changed over from violin to drums as a kid.
Son: (grins again). But there’s just one thing. You’re old-fashioned and that “golden age of jazz” is just the jazz that I can imagine playing to. Yeah, I want to play to a sort of tunes. And you really like standards!!!
Father: That’s me. “Kind of Blue”! I’m planning to compose my own pieces where listeners could say,“Hey, this one is My Favorite Tune.” Just like to a famous standard. Mmmhhh,.. Like Standards!
Sometime later. The son hears his father playing.
Son: That blues sounds awesome on the piano! Aren’t you glad you took my advice to do some piano playing on our CD? (They both grin). Is that the tune for mom, Misses BC?
Father: I put her right up there with Coltrane’s Mr PC.
Son: Tell me about one of your challenges playing jazz violin.
Father: John Coltrane’s Giant Steps with its exceedingly fast and complex chord changes!! Just as Coltrane always did, I practiced hard till I got it. At the moment I’m writing Another Steps of my own. I’m curious to hear what you will be doing with it!
Son: Right! A challenge for me and now a modern challenge for you! Do something on the synthesizer, Dad! (He grins.)
Father: That’s a deal. The Devil In Me will do just that.
Now the moment has finally come.
Son: Let me turn on your recording and now you listen to me and my part, Dad.
(Amongst it all, he passes through the jazz waltz Lost without losing a step. He takes his father on the Downtown Train, masterfully mixing its harmony of I got Rhythm with funk and plays soft brushes so fine and sensitive to the ballad My Secret Love.)
Father: That is not just my son playing. That is you, the drummer Leander Widmoser himself developing his style of interpretation. And this music really does swing!
Leander smiles.
