Sat. 7/10

21:00 Special Reserve feat. Duckbilled Platypus

"There are hundreds of middle points at which it is impossible to say whether what you are hearing is really jazz or classical music. A talented musician always creates out of what he has heard and experienced in his own life and from that which he has found most interesting and valid. And if he has ever had a thrilling encounter with jazz, this will also be reflected later in his work. I want to be able to make music freely, totally independently of the finely boxed-in categories and styles that we musicians are always being prescribed." (Gunther Schuller, NY 1959)

Encouraging words from an American to mark the début of an Austrian trio...thoughts which are still being given too little currency here? Hopefully on this evening these three musicians will succeed in merging from their different directions -- each one bringing along his own enormous creative potential -- to make an exciting joint musical statement, totally independently of the finely boxed-in categories and styles that are always being "prescribed" to us musicians.
