Zum Sammeln von Platten des Musikers Chris McGregor bin ich durch seinen Auftritt mit den Brotherhood of Breath beim Altenaer Jazzfestival 1972 gekommen. Dieser Auftritt hat einen so nachhaltigen Eindruck hinterlassen, dass mich der Free Jazz nicht mehr los liess. Auf dieser Seite habe ich die mir bekannten Schallplatten und CD´s aufgeführt, auf denen Chris McGregor entweder federführend oder als Musiker mitgewirkt hat. Neben diesen Schallplatten und CD´s gibt es noch eine Menge Radioaufnahmen oder Recording-Sessions, welche unter Fans kursieren. Die Tonträger sind in chronologischer Reihenfolge aufgeführt, und zwar nach Entstehungszeit der Aufnahmen. Die Veröffentlichung der Tonträger geschah zum Teil erst viele Jahre später. So erschienen die Cd´s Our Prayer und Up To Earth erst 40 Jahre! nach Aufnahme. Das zeigt, welches Interesse die Musik von Chris McGregor heute noch hervorruft.

Eine excellente Webseite zum Thema gibt es unter http://www.mfowler.myzen.co.uk/. Hier ist wirklich alles an Informationen zu Chris McGregor zu finden. Dreh- und Angelpunkt dabei ist die Gruppe Blue Notes.

The Start of collecting records of Chris McGregor was a concert, that the Brotherhood of Breath did in Altena 1972. This Concert was so impressioned to me, that the free jazz became an obsession. On this site I present the records and CD´s, on which Chris McGregor was the leader or a sideman. There also exists a lot of radio broadcasts or recordings sessions I do not present. The list follows the chronicle of his musical work. Some records were issued forty years after recording. This testifies the interest in the music of Chris McGregor today.

An excellente website about Chris McGregor is:  http://www.mfowler.myzen.co.uk/. The main path on this site is Chris McGregors legendary group, the Blue Notes.
