ClubJazz: Derek Plays Eric

In the organizer's words:

On their current, second album "A Suite of Soaps and Other Assorted Sceneries", the Berlin trio Derek Plays Eric once again renegotiates nothing less than the boundaries between jazz, free improvisation and rock, between the avant-garde and the familiar and accessible in a way that is as intelligent as it is emotional and unique.

Whether with complex and also sonically drastic means, as in the seven-part "Suite Of Soaps" by Andreas Willers, or through the unorthodox treatment of exciting originals by jazz greats Dave Holland and Paul Motian, the soul piece "Space Captain", once made famous by Joe Cocker (on "Mad Dogs & Englishmen") and recently again by Herbie Hancock, and brilliant interpretations from the oeuvre of the legendary bands Gentle Giant ("Cogs In Cogs" fromthealbum "The Power And The Glory") and The Beatles ("I Want You" from "Abbey Road").
This is made possible by the congenial interplay of a well-rehearsed trio, which is able to navigate the musical and sonic challenges of this concept at all times with technical finesse, confident intuition and explosive empathy.
