All Decks by OLIVER LAKE - CHRISTIAN WEBER - DIETER ULRICH feat. NILS WOGRAM

Intakt CD 222

After a first successful studio recording of Oliver Lake, Christian Weber and Dieter Ulrich «FOR A LITTLE DANCIN'» (Intakt CD 172) follows a live recording at Zürich jazzfestival Unerhört 2011 with guest trombone player Nils Wogram.

Christoph Wagner writes in the liner notes: «Wide-awake, highly disciplined and with a pronounced sense of theatre, these four musicians increase tension and boost intensity as required: one minute a powerful flare-up, the next a descent into more peaceful tones. Thus the music opens up an imaginative space, building a bridge not only across the Atlantic, but also between white and black culture and across generations.

A richly coloured arch of tones, harmonies, sounds and rhythms emerges, stretching from Duke Ellington to the free improvisation of loft jazz, echoing everything current in jazz today.»
