Austrian Jazz
Upcoming Wolfgang Muthspiel Tour
Press Quotes Dance of the Elders …the beauty is found in the nuances. […] There are no wasted notes, no overt showmanship, just intimate trio interaction that yields beautifully flowing, mesmerizing music. Sometimes it conjures such inexplicable curiosity, that you’ll return thinking you may have missed something the first time through. Jim Hynes, Glide But what a trio this is. Colley and Blade, who made ’Angular Blues’ with him five years ago, are effortlessly musical. Together they have something of the empathy of the Bill Evans trio […] The synthesis matters more than the elements, and the synthesis here is hugely confident and successful. Brian Morton, Downbeat Not that any validation of these delicately-nuanced forty-four some minutes is necessary —the harmonic notes that most appropriately decorate this title song come from all three instrumentalists—but co-production and mixing by the label founder himself Manfred Eicher, along with with the artist and Gérard de Haro — stands as affirmation of the unity of effort on the part of all involved. Both acoustic and electric textures benefit from the sonic definition and, as a result, the album conjures an altogether mesmerizing effect Doug Collette, All About Jazz One of our great contemporary formations. Barney Whittaker, Presto Music Muthspiel’s music is full of quiet invention, drawing the listener in to a world of musical grace and beauty. Mike Gates, UK Vibe
