Tabeling Oliver & Andy Scherrer - "hippocampus Valley»

The themes - Oliver Tabeling & Andy Scherrer - "hippocampus Valley»

In December of last year, the pianist and saxophonist Oliver Tabeling Andy Scherrer in Zurich went into the studio to merge nine exciting musical dialogue. Or rather - and in the words of the two protagonists words "Nine snapshots on a journey into the hippocampus Valley - that border area between the unconscious, mythology, experience and inspiration - to take."
All nine tracks are composed and arranged by Oliver Tabeling. Or perhaps one should say: nspiriert and designed. Because often is the basic musical material of known works such as the Tommy Dorsey-MGM movie hit "I Should Care," the jazz classic "Blue in Green" by Miles Davis and Bill Evans, a classic motif of the "Holberg Suite "by Edward Grieg, or as in" Behemots Dance "even in the literature for a mythical figure from Mikhail Bulgakov's novel" Master and Margherita. "

From these basic artistic elements, the two jazz musicians develop spontaneous and exciting musical dialogues. Piano virtuoso raging lines of Oliver Tabeling be taken up quickly by Andy Scherrer and then woven into deft saxophone cascades. Attackierend sharp inden-blown sax sounds by Homophones rhythmic chord progressions and a compression of the Pianos increase until the quiet dialogue with weakening momentum and then relaxes smooth tone curves. The astonishing thing that the music creatively and courageously in the modern world is moving, however, characterized by an almost parallel to traditional auditory sensations oriented sounded beautiful aesthetics.

No uncontrolled wild against each other, but a subtly coordinated, always full of ideas and inspiration moving together, making music, the musicians and listeners alike enthusiastically heard and felt.
