De Heney/Ericson
Nina has distinguished herself as one of the main exponents of contemporary improvisation on double bass. With a broad musical reference as a starting point, she has formed a personal expression, with great sensitivity to the situation in the present. She has manifested this in countless international collaborations.
Sture, who is based in Copenhagen, and thus close to a local cat, is on a long musical journey of discovery. In addition to various regular bands such as The Electrics, Bagman (Pat Thomas and Raymond Strid), he has experienced and been inspired by a myriad of Ad Hoc meetings.
Both musicians stretch the instruments tonal possibilities with various techniques and preparations combined with more conventional playing.
A meeting that they both have had on their wish list for a long time - A Playground For Two!


Riis/Lindsjö
Jakob Riis and Anders Lindsjö are making a comeback as a duo. Carrying the luggage of the two previous duo records, WRRP and TACK!, these gentlemen meet again in their typical setting where Riis collects, manipulates and modulates his colleague's sound and music. Together it will be a journey to the outer edge of our flat earth.


Jazzpool NRW - "Ganz unten, oben im Norden"2021/11/4-7

Tour, Germany 4-7 november 2021

Wolfgang Schmidtke and Peter Weiss presents the latest project of the Jazzpool NRW - “Ganz unten, oben im Norden”, for which they have put together a first-class ensemble of seven musicians. Three of the musicians comes from the far north, where the sun is known to stay low - which explains the title in a playful way.

The core of the project is to re-explore the relationship between composition and improvisation. Two forms are to be exemined: First, the classical jazz composition, which consists of a continuously repeated and improvisationally varied theme and mostly follows the form of the rondo - ending where it began. And second, the completely free improvisation, which unquestionably arose from the urge to leave the constantly rotating rondo. In the project “Ganz unten, oben im Norden”, the musicians practice a way of dealing with form that contradicts clichés. Compositional elements not going around in circles and still relating to improvisation in terms of ideas and form.

Improvisation within a determined framework with the greatest possible freedom, offering musical direction and form.

Stephan Meinberg - trumpet, euphonium

The music borders between improvisation and composition, created in a collaboration between composer Ole Lützow-Holm and Stefan Östersjö. Originally written for Östersjö’s 11-stringed alto guitar, this piece of music has been expanded and developed like a Pandora’s box, with twists and turns over the course of several years. Traces of Oblivion is not a traditional composition with a beginning and end, but rather an archive of sketches and score pages with electronic and acoustic sound recordings. Östersjö and Riis have created a truly singular album based on these raw materials. With careful processing of the guitar’s acoustic sound, strands and traces are woven in twirling arabesques, interrupted by explosive disruptions and ethereal reflections.
