  • Description

    In October 2007, Austrian guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel invited Swiss pianist Jean-Paul Brodbeck to join his band and perform a new repertoire of songs Muthspiel had written for a quartet. On this new album the two men engage in a constant harmonic dialogue. The new pieces - at times leaning towards hip-hop and rock grooves - create a dense and earthy band sound, both inviting and daring. Add the fine rhythm section of the Pichler brothers on drums and bass, and compositions like "Jackson's Pocket", "Earth Mountain" and "Radiohead" naturally unfold with an ecstatic energy.
    Never abstract, the music has all the twists, turns and intricacies that Muthspiel's music is known for. In the context of the composed pieces, the flight of improvisation takes on a major role. With Brodbeck's subtle and inventive accompaniment, Muthspiel's free-ranging solos are carried and supported more than ever before. This is the kind of the modern jazz music that can transcend genres.
