„Lasting Love“ ist das einzige und späte Solo-Werk in Attila Zollers über 50-jähriger Musikerlaufbahn. Die Aufnahmen fanden im Sommer 1997 in New Jersey statt, produziert von seinem Freund Woody Mann. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt war Attila Zoller bereits todkrank. Er starb am 25. Januar 1998 und überlebte die Veröffentlichung seiner letzten Platte nur um einige Wochen. So ist diese CD das Vermächtnis, ja das Testament eines Musikers, der zeitlebens nie im Rampenlicht der Öffentlichkeit stand, von Kollegen aber stets hoch geschätzt wurde. "Eine herausragende Aufnahme von einem herausragenden Künstler. Ein Freund seit langer Zeit und einer meiner Lieblings-Gitarristen ...,“ so Jim Hall. „Attila ist einer meiner Helden,“ ergänzt Pat Metheny.
„Lasting Love“ enthält elf Eigenkompositionen Zollers, eindringlich, intensiv und tiefempfunden. In dieser Musik erkennen wir seinen Blick nach innen: intim, direkt, unmittelbar, unausweichlich. Im reifen Alter wurde Zoller, der auch schon ungestümen Free-Jazz und lineare, kühl-intellektuelle Experimente gespielt hatte, wieder zum Lyriker und Puristen. So ist „Lasting Love“ mehr als nur ein akustisches Dokument, es ist der letzte Dialog eines beseelten Musikers mit uns, seinen Zuhörern. Zum letzten Mal erhebt Attila Zoller seine Stimme, originell und expressiv, jenseits aller Trends.
“Lasting Love” is the only and late solo work in Attila Zoller's musical career that spans over 50 years. The recordings were made in the Summer of 1997 in New Jersey and were produced by Zoller's friend Woody Mann. At the time, Attila Zoller was already fatally ill. He died on January 25, 1998, surviving the release of his last album by a few weeks only. This CD therefore represents his legacy, indeed the testament of a musician who during the course of his life never stood in the public eye, but was always highly esteemed by his colleagues. “An outstanding recording by an exceptional artist. A long-standing friend and my favorite guitarist...,” were the words of Jim Hall. “Attila is one of my heroes,” Pat Metheny added.
“Lasting Love” contains eleven compositions by Zoller himself, penetrating, intensive and deeply felt works. In this music, we can hear his introspective eye, its intimacy, directness, its immediate and inevitable quality. In his late years, Zoller, who had already played unbuttoned free jazz and coolly intellectual linear experiments, once again became a lyricist and a purist. “Lasting Love” is more than a mere acoustic document, it is the last conversation an inspired musician conducted with us, his listeners. For the last time, Attila Zoller made his voice known, a voice that spoke beyond all trends.
,,Er spielt einfach und doch auf höchstem Level, versonnen, in sich gekehrt, wie unter Ausschluss der Öffentlichkeit, hinreißend intensiv, geradezu virtuos. ,Lasting Love'- die leise Bilanz eines großen Musikerlebens." (Jazzthing)
"The feel is warm and relaxed throughout, and there is some rewarding blowing, but the focus is squarely on the compositions, which range from blues and hard-boppish lines to bossas to ballads." (JazzTimes)
