Borderlands Trio w/ Stephan Crump, Kris Davis & Eric McPherson

20:00 I Concert I 🎤 Concert Hall

After the breathtaking debut album Asteroida, the New York trio Borderlands with Stephan Crump, Kris Davis and Eric McPherson is releasing a double CD with four beautiful improvisations between twenty and forty minutes long. Recorded during the Corona pandemic in New York in December 2020, the music contrasts the New York mood of isolation and depression with a unique joy of playing, intensity and musical intimacy.

Chicago/Berlin jazz critic Peter Margasak writes in the liner notes: "The pieces float, sway, swing, breathe, rustle and sparkle without ever showing any hesitation or rut. A great play with spontaneity. These four astonishing explorations reflect a kind of total music" He writes enthusiastically: "Almost telepathically, Borderlands builds a unified sonic architecture that celebrates the act of collective improvisation as profoundly, as beautifully and as completely as anything I've ever heard."
