Tues. 3/10

21:00 Gräwe/Reijseger/Hemingway (D/NL/USA)

"Anyone working under the misconception that all free piano must sound something like Cecil Taylor, lend an ear to German pianist George Gräwe. Forceful and deliberate, he recalls Lennie Tristano's linear fluidity and Bill Evans' harmonic delicacy, filtered through the 12-toned, tone-colored lens of Anton Webern" (Down Beat )

Cologne pianist Georg Gräwe is one of those musicians who has tried to improve inadequate working conditions through his own personal engagement and initiatives. In addition to his activities in the Loft Club, Gräwe vouchsafed his artistic autonomy by founding his own label--Random Music--which has attracted notice for its refreshing unconventionality.

Gräwe/Reijseger/Hemingway have been appearing as a trio since 1989, earning the honorific "Three-Man Orchestra," which Vyacheslav Ganelin coined just for them. CH
