about

In films, time and place are used to ground a story in a particular atmosphere, to give it emotional background – but they reveal little about the story itself, about its meaning or eventual resolution. The compositions of the Vienna-based ensemble «Tree» serve a similar purpose: they provide a setting, but it is during the process of improvisation and interaction that they truly unfold into living, breathing stories.
Georg Vogel, Andreas Waelti and Michael Prowaznik play jazz in all its various forms, devoting themselves to the interplay of conceptual and intuitive ideas, elaborating or contrasting them in the course of their improvisation. The trio’s approach is refreshingly undogmatic: anachronisms are cleverly updated, liberated, and merged with the modern to form new hybrids. «Tree» works as a unit in the best sense of the word, showing conclusively that even in postmodern times, music can retain a special vitality.

Georg Vogel – piano
Andreas Waelti – bass
Michael Prowaznik – drums

about

TREE Vienna, Austria

«Die Chemie, die die Musiker innerhalb dieser fordernden Kompositions-komplexe entwickeln, hat eine manische Schönheit, eine verrückte Spannung in sich, der sich kaum einer mit funktionierenden Ohren entziehen kann. Österreichs Jazzszene wird eine Weile suchen müssen, bis Sie ein Trioalbum finden wird, das mit diesem mithalten kann.»

Xavier Plus – Skug, Juni 2019 ... more
