With a relaxed flow of play and experienced virtuosity, the band around André Weiß is impressively fresh for a jazz trio.
STUDIO KONZERT is the audiophile Direct-To-2-Track fully analogue recorded concert series, produced by the Bauer Studios since early 2013 and available in shops as numbered and limited 180g vinyl records with a premium-quality packaging. With a relaxed flow of play and experienced virtuosity, the band around André Weiß is impressively fresh for a jazz trio. The influence of the legendary pianist Oscar Peterson, who was known for his groove and ornamental play, is particularly evident.
The sound of the trio is enriched by the sparkling ingenuity of Ralph Moore, who is described as one of the most convincing and individual saxophonists of our time. The American played in the band of Horace Silver and J.J. Johnson, he has also worked with Freddie Hubbard, Kenny Barron, Roy Hargrove, Cedar Walton, McCoy Tyner, Ray Brown, Dizzy Gillespie, Roy Haynes, Oscar Peterson and many more.
The Stuttgart pianist André Weiß is one of the greatest talents on the modern jazz scene. With his always swinging playing, he makes a convincing plea for the beauty, power and elegance of "Straight Ahead Jazz".
The foundation is laid with strong rhythms and warm sound by bassist Jean-Philippe Wadle. Wadle's skills brought him to concert stages all over the world with musicians such as Dee Dee Bridgewater, Patti Austin, Ack van Rooyen and the hr big band.
The drummer Dominik Raab is equipped with perfect technique and excellent swing. He has played in concerts, studio and radio productions with musicians such as Don Braden, James Morrison, Jim McNeely, Tony Lakatos and Norma Winstone.
With Ralph Moore as a guest, the trio succeeds in a grandiose concert that makes the rooms of the Bauer Studios remind of its long history of jazz. From the first note on, the quartet transports its audience to a classic jazz evening, which does not lose quality as a result! Pushed by Ralph Moore, the quartet convinces in musical unity. Titles such as The Kicker make BeBop the best.
