For me, jazz is democracy and a game that requires the right partners,” describes percussionist and jazz musician András Dés and continues: ”like Martin Eberle, Philipp Nykrin and Kenji Herbert, who each enrich the interplay with their special musicality. This democratic playing becomes more important when we courageously admit mistakes, show our vulnerable side and become fully involved in the musical process. Trust, empathy, openness and the willingness to take risks are crucial. The free improvisations that connect our compositions arise organically and, like life itself, lead us to our goal. Because music is life.”
The András Dés Quartet's new album was released in March 2024 on BMC Records under the title “Unimportant Things” and is now coming live to Brixen.
