The tunes we recorded in may were meanwhile mixed and masterd by Werner Angerer. My Sister Anna Zangerle will do the Artwork and i’m happily looking forward to it. We’ll release the eight newly recorded tracks on my own label “Listen Closely”. The CD will be presented on two Tours in April and May. Stay tuned for more updates!
edit: We stopped organizing the sessions in the end of 2011.
Yes, i’m again involved in a weekly jazz session. The Talkin’ Jazz! Sessions, though quite succesfull were to loud for the neighbours of the Cafe Schmid Hansl.
Together with Christoph Mallinger and Chris Kronreif, who both returned from Barcelona, my Talkin’ Jazz Companion Johannes Propst and I share the duties of the session host. Before Christoph and Chris went to Barcelona, they already hosted the Session, then it was the session to be. We are hoping the session regains its former status.
So, drop by. The Coco session takes places every wednesday at 10pm, except in case there is a Champions League-Game we start at 10:30pm. You can find the Coco Club in the Stadtbahnbögen 34-35 at the Lerchenfelder Gürtel.
When i’m playing you can find it here on my page under Concerts, the weekly schedule is, as of now, only available on our Facebook Page.
For some time I’ve been involved in organizing concerts under the name Jazzdienst, which means something like Jazz Service. I’m Secretary in the registerd association and I’ve been helping with general organizing, eg. I’m writing our promotion texts.
Bella Edlinger, the head of Jazzdienst, had been curating a series of concerts in the Rote Bar in the Volkstheater. I played there two times and got to know her a little. The series of concerts came to an end, an event which caused quite some stir in the local scene, because the series was known for openness and quality.
Some of us decided to help to start a new series and concerts and, voila, Jazzdienst was born. Looking for a Venue we finally found the Jazzcafe Bird in Vienna. Starting with Autumn 2011 we’ve been organizing concerts there. Some very good bands could be heard there already and it is still going on.
You could find information about Jazzdienst and the upcoming concerts on our homepage, you could also friend us on Facebookpage werden.
See you there!
After our Gig in Vienna, i shall have some video footage of them available soon, we spend some time with Werner Angerer in his Studio in Stockerau. We recorded 8 Tunes in two very intensive days. Thanks to Werner Angerer and my fellow musicians the tracks sound fantastic even as a rough mix.
The CD shall be out in Spring 2012.
In Spring we did some Concerts/dramatic Readings with Author Bodo Hell. The texts that Bodo read were all more or less in the context of “ambiguous figure”. Beeing on stage with this collaboration was a very rewarding experience that i enjoyed greatly.
Some Footage was recorded in Ottensheim, you can watch it on Youtube.

This very nice review of our recent CD can be found in the current freiStil magazine.
ZAVOCC
on tour
Zach / zach-records.com / rec: 10
Werner Zangerle (sax), Raimund Vogtenhuber (e), Christoph Cech (p)Der in Wien lebende Salzburger Werner Zangerle hat mit Christoph Cech am Klavier und dem für Dicht- und Kittmasse zuständigen Elektroniker Raimund Vogtenhuber mit ‚ZaVoCC on Tour‘ ein erfreuliches Tondokument auf den Markt gebracht. Das wirklich schöne CD-Cover (Artwork: Anna Zangerle) verspricht allerdings mehr Idylle, als dann tatsächlich geboten wird. Und das ist gut so. Es gibt schon genug von diesen ironisch herabgebrochenen Hybriden aus Volksmusik & der Zutat von ‚Was auch immer‘. Da sind 15 hochkonzentrierte Details einer Erforschungstour der Innenwelten eines Improvisationsensembles entstanden, die beim Hören Aufmerksamkeit und Ruhe voraussetzen. Dafür wird man dann jedoch reich belohnt mit liebenswert vertrackten, unüblichen Klängen, die sich im Ohrgang verhaken und lange dort bleiben. Die Hörerwartung wird unterlaufen, nicht als Gag, sondern mit sinnhafter Notwendigkeit, einer wirklich stringent nachvollziehbaren Entwicklungsreise auf der Suche nach der Essenz des musikalischen Miteinanders. Eine lohnende Klangreise an die Gestaden der Kompromisslosigkeit und Integrität. (Ernst Mitter)

After we recorded in July 2007 (!) it took us really long, Braaz-style. Over a year ago we finished the mix.. After we had done the mastering we started looking for a label. Read More
The tunes we recorded last year with Braaz ist finally mixed (Goon-Studios in Linz) and nicely mastered by Martin Siewert in Vienna. Now we are looking for a label, not an easy task for this crazy music. You can listen to 6 tracks. Enjoy!
A little Concert Review of our Gig in the Kunstbox Seekirchen. Nice.
Pulsierend selbstgemacht
Die kleinen runden Tische waren locker im Saal verteilt. Teelichter und Weingläser standen darauf. Das leise Murmeln der Zuhörer vor dem Auftritt tauchte den dunklen Raum in genau jene Clubatmosphäre, die ein Jazzabend braucht. Werner Zangerle 4 begann… Read More
In the middle of April we recorde a Demo with “Jazz of three Cities”. Besides the regular staff, which is Peter Massink who flew in from Paris, Dusan Novakov and Wolfram Derschmidt, Nikola Stanosevic helped us instead of Pandelis Karayorgis on the piano. Read More
