Matthias Spillmann Trio
Matthias Spillmann: trumpet, flugelhorn
Moritz Baumgärtner: drums
Andreas Lang: bass
The instrumentation of this trio, consisting of trumpet, drums and bass represents the quintessence of the music called jazz. The trumpet player from Zurich and the rhythm section from Berlin are in search of the DNA of this music. Compositions by Monk, Ornette, Strayhorn and others are interpreted with creativity, courage. and devotion. Personal expression and passionate research of unknown territories inside the compositions we thought we all knew before: those are the central ingredients of this band. In a raw and uncut fashion they get to the core of the matter.
"Live at the Bird's Eye Jazz Club" appears on Clean Feed Records.
