Web Web – Oracle LP 1st Press German Import Tony Lakatos Mint Awesome Underground jazz release from Germany
The first album of Web Web is very uncut, raw, live and direct. „Oracle“ is the first output of a German Supergroup. Check the musician credits below and you’ll get the score. The initial idea was to record a spiritual- jazz type of album, with all its imperfection as far as intonation, sound, influences of tunes... just like from their big jazz-heroes in the 70ies (e.g. Strata East, Black Jazz).
Web Web’s idea was to record a jazz jam session while to found and proclaim being a fictive band, a formation, which did not exist, while telling people, it would be a secret jam session recording of the Seventies. The prompt problem they were facing: Oh, we never would be able to play concerts, doing interviews, or placing photos on sleeves or post likeness images online. So they decided to reveal their real identities:
Web Web are: Roberto Di Gioia (Piano, Synth, Percussion), Tony Lakatos (Tenor- and Sopranosaxophone), Christian von Kaphengst (Upright Bass) and Peter Gall (Drums).
Antal "Tony" Lakatos (born 13 November 1958 in Budapest) is a Hungarian Jazzsaxophonist (tenor, soprano saxophone), who currently lives in Frankfurt (Germany).
Lakatos attended the Béla Bartók Conservatory in Budapest from 1975 to 1980, then moved to Germany, where he worked with Toto Blanke's band, Uwe Kropinski, Jasper van 't Hof, and Wolfgang Haffner. He has been leading his own ensembles since the late 1980s, including a group called Things; his sidemen have included JoAnne Brackeen, Terri Lynne Carrington, Al Foster, Billy Hart, and Anthony Jackson. He has also worked with Randy Brecker, Kevin Mahogany, George Mraz, the Mingus Big Band, Chris Hinze, Kirk Lightsey, Dusko Goykovich, Michael Sagmeister, Roberto Magris, Art Farmer, and Kenny Werner.
