But this Cd by Lajos Dudas proves once again that the clarinet deserves much more appreciation. The possible quality of tones ranges from obstinate, even somewhat unwiedly, to a soft, ingratiating sound. Dudas controls the complete range ,which could trigger a renaissance of the clarinet as a jazz instrument.

Musicians: Karl Berger p,vib, Peter Apfelbaum ts, Peter Einhorn g, Frank Möbus g, John Lindberg b, Tani Tabbal dr, Ray Spiegel Tablas, Annemarie Roelofs v, Ingrid Sertso voc,poetry

Karl Berger has created a great work with “Stillpoint”, whose contents he describes as follows: “The reverse point of all vibrations, the end point of exhaling, the crevices between trains of thought.” You could also say a result of the unbelievably multifaceted experiences of a man, which he collected into a project. You might be tempted to say a summarization and a retrospective of his life’s work, but once you have heard the CD, you’ll want lots more chances for retrospectives.

Musicians: Cécile Verny voc, Bernd Heitzler b, Torsten Krill dr, Andreas Erchinger p

The Cécile Verny Quartet is presenting its third album with Kekeli on Double Moon Records. Following Got A Ticket and Métisse, the band has matured even further with its own musical language.

Musicians: Wolfgang Lackerschmid vib, Walter Lang p, Stephan Holstein cl,as

The way in which the ”Full Moon Trio” deals with its material demonstrates the ability to start over with the apparently well known and to branch off and out and deepen it. Two hours in a dull light: a bridge between night and morning: not just chamber music, but great art coming from it on tiptoes.
