Description
With Wu Wei, Ingolf Burkhardt and Florian Weber, three outstanding musical personalities have come together in the Silk Jazz trio.
The Sheng (the Chinese mouth-blown organ) is one of the oldest instruments in Chinese music. Together with the trumpeter Ingolf Burkhardt and the pianist Florian Weber Wu Wei, this new recording shows that this 3000 year old instrument still has a place in the music of today. The three musicians invite you on a musical road trip; for their means of transport the trio have chosen the art of improvisation, of listening and then diving into the quite diverse musical ideas of their colleagues; in other words, the very essence of jazz.
Their music is created freely - no agreements, no notes, just pure listening and interaction. Over 90 tracks of freely improvised music were created during the recording session. With Into the unknown, the trio succeeds in developing a musical narrative from the sheer endless material that conveys the naturalness of playing together as well as the adventurousness and enthusiasm to search for and find new colours.
