yesFrank Möbus - Der Rote Bereich
'Der rote bereich' is German for 'red light district'. Which insinuates that this German trio makes hot music, while going in the red, at times far beyond it! Frank Möbus is the leader. Ask a jazz connoisseur a hot list of modern European jazz greats - big chance that Möbus is one of the first he will mention. His guitar playing is original and brutal and stays far away from the sustained tone of traditional jazz guitarists. But don't think that Rudi Mahall and Oliver Benrd Steidle are blown off
'Der rote bereich' is German for 'red light district'. Which insinuates that this German trio makes hot music, while going in the red, at times far beyond it! Frank Möbus is the leader. Ask a jazz connoisseur a hot list of modern European jazz greats - big chance that Möbus is one of the first he will mention. His guitar playing is original and brutal and stays far away from the sustained tone of traditional jazz guitarists. But don't think that Rudi Mahall and Oliver Benrd Steidle are blown off the stage! Mahalls bass clarinet groans, flutters and moans – his playing has intense, deep feeling. Steidle provokes all kinds of stuttering rhythms out of his drums, only to caress them with love a moment later. This proves that in 'der rote bereich' gnarly dirtiness comes with warmth and subtlety.
