Release Notes:
The members of Trio Minsarah met in September 2000
while all three attended Berklee in Boston, and
soon developed an intense musical connection which
produced an exceptionally unique trio sound.
Concerts in Germany followed, at prestigious
venues, and the following year saw a tour in
Florida, another three-week tour throughout Germany
and an East Coast tour of the USA including
Washington D.C. and Boston. The word Minsarah is
Hebrew and means "prism". Like a prism showing the
colors in light, the trio goes for new sound colors
and new ideas in band playing. A team of densely
interacting improvisers, the three play with power
and dramatic intensity, fresh lyricism, and a sense
of melody thats all their own. German native
Florian Weber has toured as a soloist with the
Russian Philharmonic Orchestra, studied with Paul
Bley, John Taylor, Richie Beirach, and performed
with Albert Mangelsdorff and Benny Bailey. In 2001
he was awarded the Steinway Prize at the Montreux
Jazz Festival Solo Piano Competition. American
bassist Jeff Denson, of Arlington, Virginia, grew
up in the Washington, D.C. Hes worked with Lee
Konitz, Joe Lovano, Charlie Byrd, Kenny Werner and
others, and received the Berklee Outstanding
Performer Award in 2002. Israeli drummer Ziv Ravitz
started his professional career as a drummer at age
13. Hes worked with Joe Lovano, Mick Goodrick,
George Garzone, Lee Konitz and received the
Zildjian Scholarship Award in 2003.
