DrechslerStegerTanschekTrio feat. Lorenz Raab – The Monk in all of us

The Monk in all of us

Artists:  Ulrich Drechsler (b.cl/cb.kl), Oliver Steger (b), Harald Tanschek (dr), Lorenz Raab (tp)

This recording is dedicated to the music of the great Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk. His music, although recorded and written in the 60’s, still sounds fresh and modern and is full of surprises. It is music that projects uniqueness, independence and personality; qualities that have become rare in today´s music world. The musical approach of this trio to Monks music is slightly different: there´s no piano! Instead bass, contrabass, clarinet, upright bass and drums form the instrumental lineup and allow the trio to expand Monk´s music into new realms. The consummate trumpeter and Hans Koller Prize winner, Lorenz Raab rounds off this marvellous live recording in inimitable fashion.
