Description
Simply put, Klaus Koenig is a humorist. Autumn Girl, is his 6th CD release with his 'Jazz Live Trio'.
Klaus, who seems to complain in the liner notes about the difficulty of composition and improvisation,
laments about his struggles with harmonies. And yet, he delivers a moving and lyrical tour de force,
borrowing as he states, 'the practical procedure' from Felix Mendelsohn's Song's Without Words.
There are numerous emotional twists and turns, the ballads have splend id improvisations. There are
pure gems here, Autumn Girl, dedicated to his wife; has such delicacy that even the touch of Andi
W ettstein's cymbals hug you; the playful yet thought provoking Song For A Child that bassist Patrick
Sommer 's virtuosity is on display; and the inspiring IRACI, a solo piano composition that closes out
this feast. Truly, for all his complaining and lamenting, he seems to have hit on a formula that works.
