Wütrio is the first in a series of re-issue albums curated by legendary German DJ, producer and rare vinyl collector Rainer Trueby. ‘Wütrio’ is the critically-acclaimed album first released in 1987 on the Bremen based label, Thein Records . A label started by Friedrich Thein whose musical pedigree includes links to the world class and world famous Thein Brass instrument makers and retailers.’Wütrio’, the band, originally formed in the Bavarian city of Würzburg and went through lineup changes before recording this album with founding members Robert Schulte Hemming and Rudi Engel complemented by Wolfgang Pusching, Martin Kübert, Peter Wirth and the amazing vocal talents of Beate Kynast.
The album is a work of art; Jazz it certainly is, but it is so much more than this one genre as it moves like a cabaret aboard the Trans-Europe Express travelling across genres and changing tracks as it picks up Samba, Jazz-Rock, Fusion, Electro-Funk and the New York Avant-Garde on its journey.
From his time as one half of production duo ‘A Forest Mighty Black’, Rainer Trueby has been at the forefront of cutting edge Black music as creator, disseminator and curator. Previous releases through BBE include the must have 2020 compilation ‘Soulgliding’ and coproductions with DJ Kon on the ‘Kon and the Gang’ album from 2016. It is worth noting that it is Rainer himself who gave the name ‘Soulgliding’ to a genre of certain paced and soulful groove of music that now bears that name. His selection of the ‘Wütrio’ album to kick off a highly collectable series of re-issues is an inspired choice.
