SWEET REASON by Uwe Oberg Heinz Sauer
SWEET REASON is my long-desired album with Heinz Sauer. I started to listen to him, when I was 18, there has been many opportunities, as we live in the same aera. In 2002 we've had our first encounter, and it was thrilling.
Later Heinz joined my trio, but playing duo with him is the best thing. There's always this vibrant and hungry attitude of him, his shining sound, where every tone seems to be telling a story. And his absolute openness.
For SWEET REASON we decided to play some originals, as well as free improvisations. Playing live, we always include some classics (Monk, Billie Holiday, Coltrane) but only one standard made it on the CD, Strayhorns "Bloodcount".
