The Claudia Quintet

The Claudia Quintet is proof positive that the pessimists were wrong: jazz is not dead, despite being embalmed by major labels and confined by the narrow-minded to dead-ends. The stunningly original and lyrical works of this NY based ensemble, led by composer/drummer John Hollenbeck, reveal breathtaking new vistas for jazz beyond genre walls. In compositions that meld mental challenge with charm, captivating audiences with austere beauty or propulsive grooves, jazz breaks through its rigid shell, recombines with a myriad of other musics, and is reborn in a transcendent new form.

Rusconi

Drei Mannen aus Zürich fabrizieren Jazz mit Spannkraft. Musik die federt, niemals hampelt oder luftig hübsch verpufft, sondern vielmehr kerzengerade auf dem Wellenspitz des Alpenfoehns hinunter in die Talkessel surft und dort die Äcker und Scheitel neu bestellt mit kantiger Rhythmik und seeltiefen Sounds. Das Rusconi Trio ist DIE Alternative zu Kernkraft und Fernwärme, ein musikalischer Hochofen, ein Hochdruckgebiet auf dem Weg zu DIR. (David Hesse, Quelle: www.rusconi-music.com)
