: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: The music and style of ôFirst Springö is a marked departure from :,
: earlier releases. :
:' ':
,: ôI wanted to create something different from the music on my :,
: quartet albums. As much as I love the sound of the quartet and :
:' hope to return to that medium soon, I was looking for something ':
,: fresh and a new challenge. In recent years, I have been :,
: listening more and more to records by folk and country artists :
:' like Sam Amidon, Levon Helm and Chris Thile. I explored what ':
,: made this music so compelling and how I could transfer it to the :,
: setting of a jazz piano trio without losing its original vibe. :
:' ':
,: A common denominator in a lot of this music is the sound of the :,
: fiddle. It occurred to me that with the double bass I have a :
:' string instrument in the trio that I can use for exactly this ':
,: purpose. So I started arranging some of my favourite songs for :,
: piano, bass and drums, often using the bowed bass as an :
:' additional melody instrument.ö û Florian Hoefner ':
,: :,
: The often swinging and sometimes sedate pulsating heartbeat for :
:' this music is provided here by drummer Nick Fraser while Andrew ':
,: Downing brings his contrabass û frequently wielding his magical :,
: bow as he plays con arco û to augment the rhythmic realm and :
:' join Hoefner in exploring the melodic content of the music as a ':
,: kind of second lead-voice. :,
