Avec Welcome to the Black Forest (compilation en qualité Hi-Res 24-Bit exclusive pour Qobuz !), MPS Records offre un superbe panorama de son éclectique catalogue. Depuis 1968, le label allemand fondé par Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer est une véritable caverne d’Ali-Baba pour les amateurs de jazz dignes de ce nom. Une écurie aussi active dans la sphère du jazz rock (alors en pleine ébullition à l’époque de la naissance du label) que dans le swing, le free, le hard bop voire l’ethno jazz ! Comme ceux réunis sur Welcome to the Black Forest (The Sounds of MPS) le prouvent, MPS a attiré des très grands noms : les pianistes Oscar Peterson, Mary Lou Williams, Monty Alexander, Bill Evans (ici dans une fascinante composition lyrique dont les cordes sont arrangées par Claus Ogerman) et Malakoff Kowalski, les guitaristes Joe Pass, Jim Hall (bouleversant Young One for Debra extrait d’un live à Berlin) et Robben Ford, les saxophonistes Dexter Gordon, Joe Henderson et « l’autre » Bill Evans, le claviériste George Duke (un smooth et funky Capricorn), les trompettistes Freddie Hubbard et Don Ellis (à la tête de son big band 5 étoiles pour une version ultra-cuivrée et psychédélique de Whiplash), le violoniste Stéphane Grappelli, le vibraphoniste Dave Pike (direction l’Inde avec Mathar !), le clarinettiste Rolf Kühn ou les chanteuses Malia, China Moses et surtout Ella Fitzgerald (étonnante reprise en live du Sunshine of Your Love du groupe Cream !). Mais si MPS signifie Musik Produktion Schwarzwald, c’est aussi Most Perfect Sound ! Et à l’écoute des vingt titres de cette compilation, la qualité de la prise de son saute aux oreilles.
