This transnational quartet with musicians from Germany, Latvia and Poland proves that jazz is a universal language.

It is not a simple gathering of four individuals, but a complete entity dedicated to intuitive and collective free improvisation. Does this mean that it is non-idiomatic improvised music, to use the term invented by Derek Bailey? Not quite: the band Mount Meander uses musical idioms to break down the boundaries between jazz, avant-garde, world music, rock and pop, precisely because their music is not about genres. It is about unity, equality, trust and communication.

“This quartet shows us that there need not be a compromise when it comes to jazz that is both bold and enjoyable to listen to. Here, stunning melodies go hand-in-hand with restless experimentation, and the end-result is music that is endlessly alluring.”
