Edgar Knecht Trio at Jazzahead! at Haus Im Park

About

A breathtaking tour through the ›OLD GERMAN SONGBOOK‹. The pianist Edgar Knecht and his trio have managed to find a sensational new approach to the seemingly lost tradition in a mixture of gripping rhythms and touchingly beautiful melodies. ›Maria durch ein Dornwald ging‹ becomes a ballad that gets under the skin, ›Es war ein König in Thule‹ a virtuosic piece between Beethoven and Cuban salsa.
Line-up: Edgar Knecht (p) > Rolf Denecke (b) > Tobias Schulte (dr)
