Recorded at Radiostudio Zurich by Martin Pearson July 2009
Here’s an exciting and resonant set from masters of the jazz
world’s international improvisatory school. Correction: two masters and one
newcomer. Jazz aficionados will immediately recognize pianist / bandleader
George Gruntz and special invitee saxophonist / educator Dave Liebman, but who’s
this whiz-kid on fiddle? Not such a kid, Tobias Preisig, 27, hails from
Appenzell, the violin-loving canton in the Eastern Swiss mountains. His violin
speaks with subtlety and finesse, an equal voice among his elders, as you will
hear. Preisig recalls the bluesy grit of Stuff Smith, the fantasy-inducing
elegance of Stephane Grappelly, and the eyebrow-raising élan of Jean-Luc Ponty
-- with many a dark wisp of tzigane world-weariness. These three huntsmen wield
sharp axes to whittle the changes of dashing, haunting originals, most by young
Preisig. What an enchanting debut!
