Daniel Erdmann’s Velvet Revolution
Germany, France, United Kingdom
Daniel Erdmann - tenor saxophone
Theo Ceccaldi - violin
Jim Hart - vibraphon
To mark the tenth anniversary of his “Velvet Revolution” – and a good 36 years after the “Velvet Revolution” that led to Václav Havel and the democratization of the former Czechoslovakia – Daniel Erdmann is visiting the “3 Days of Jazz” with this chamber music jazz trio. In addition to the avowed melodist and his confident sonorous tenor, the group also includes French violinist Théo Ceccaldi, who already delighted audiences in Erdmann’s “Therapie de Couple” on the main stage at the jazz festival last summer, as well as British vibraphonist Jim Hart, known from his Cloudmakers and projects with Ralph Alessi, Alfred Vogel and Bex Burch’s Vula Viel. “The unusual line-up and a striking artistic attitude make Daniel Erdmann’s Velvet Revolution a special, highly recommended experience,” wrote Norbert Krampf in the German newspaper FAZ. The music of their current album “Message in a bubble”, three compositions each by the trio members, is neither soft like velvet nor really revolutionary, but oscillates perfectly between these supposed extremes.
