Hans Lüdemann: Die Kunst des Trios 1-5 (5 CDs + DVD)

Product Information

“… In die kunst des trios I have consciously chosen to take risk to unfold these (before mentioned) secrets (of Jazz) and to create situations that, because of their uniqueness and newness would be an ultimate challenge and such create an unusual musical tension. The conditions were:

- Each trio plays its own program which is especially designed for it. Components are compositions of mine as well as of the musical partners (the only exception is the 2nd trio with compositions by Hanns Eisler).

- For each trio, there is only one concert after a short time of rehearsal. This means: there is only “one try“! All recordings of these CDs are „first takes“ from the live concerts at the Loft. Circumstances and technical conditions are the same for all 5 trios: the same room, the same piano (Steinway D), the same microphones, drum-set and bass amp, the same sound engineer. The conditions at the LOFT are extremely good - for both performing and recording.

…Now, as the result this box is in your hands containing: a lot of music and some videos, 11 musicians, 5 trios and 3 secrets. “
