Onde sul Muro, Berlino 25 anni dopo

Onde sul Muro, Berlino 25 anni dopo
di Giulia Nucci
Nel maggio del 1959 in piena guerra fredda a Berlino Est venne creata una stazione radiofonica che si occupava di trasmettere all’estero. Era Radio Berlino Internazionale. La voce della Germania Est viaggiando sulle onde corte trasmetteva in più di dieci lingue dallo swahili al francese, dall’arabo al danese e dall’indonesiano allo spagnolo, raggiungendo 5 continenti. Poi arrivò il 1989 e la Cortina di ferro diventò più permeabile, tanto da portare alla caduta del muro nella sera del 9 novembre. Dopo il 3 ottobre 1990 giorno dell’unificazione tedesca anche Radio Berlino Internazionale come la Repubblica Democratica Tedesca sparì.

It can now be revealed that one (in reality, two - ed.) of the four songs written was by Gennadi Golstein, a well-known composer and saxophonist. 

Joseph Valerio, a Radio Liberty producer in my New York division, had contacts in the jazz world and arranged for some of the Goodman group and other well-known performers to record the forbidden music from Russia in our studios, taking strict precautions to protect the identity of the Soviet composers. The noted jazz expert George T.Simon reported the unique "jam session" and the program series that evolved, which was inaugurated on June 30 [1963]: Radio listeners who tune in Radio Liberty will hear the modern swinging sounds of eight American jazz musicians on a new show called THIS IS JAZZ. But they won't be playing the usual American fare. Instead they'll blow four jazz pieces composed by Russians which they recorded exclusively for Soviet consumption.The octet is headed by Bill Crow, bass, and alto saxophonist Phil Woods, members of the Benny Goodman band that toured the Soviet Union last year. Playing with them are two other Goodman alumni, tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims and pianist John Bunch, plus trumpeter Art Farmer (using mostly the fluegelhorn) trombonist Bob Brookmeyer, baritone saxophonist Nick Brignola and drummer Walter Perkins. The songs were sent in rough form to Crow and Woods who assigned them to Al Cohn, a top jazz arranger, to score for the octet...liner cover carries a photograph of the Radio's transmitter site in Spain, along with Simon's review, and pictures .
