Jürgen
Friedrich Quartet
"Jürgen Friedrich is the great, young composition talent. He is
the first non-american who won the Gil Evans Award. 'The Right Mistake'
and 'My Shy I' are tomorrow`s jazz standards."
– Matthias Creutziger
" 'Summerflood' is the discovery of the summer! The Jürgen Friedrich
Quartet creates an enormous depth with minimalistic structures and chamber
music-like nuances. Kenny Wheeler never acts as a guest star but plays with
like-minded companions moving, hopeful, magnificent music."
– jazzthing
"If his compatriot Johannes Brahms would arise from the dead and become
a jazz musician he would doubtlessly appreciate the astonishing architectural
logic of Friedrich`s composition "The Right Mistake." Friedrich
has huge creative potential, access to innovation, and a highly personal
concept. A fantastic CD."
– Arnaldo DeSouteiro, Tribuna Bis
For years I‘ve admired the great Canadian musician Kenny Wheeler because
of his fantastic compositions and arrangements, his incredible sound on
both the trumpet and flugelhorn, his superb recordings as well as his wide
open artistic vision. Last week I went to a big-band concert that featured
Kenny as the guest performer and composer. At 70+ years of age Kenny still
has the ability to amaze both as a player as well as composer. He sounds
as fresh as any young lion and deep as any veteran. His pieces are full
of complex harmonies and changing times and rhythms and have a wide variety
of styles from straight ahead swing to totally free. Kenny‘s playing is
completely wide open. He can go anywhere at anytime. His sound is uniquely
beautiful and his range is as high as any lead trumpet player and lower
than most trumpet players ever dare to go. His deep knowledge of harmony
is hidden by his ability to make everything sound so easy. You could only
tell how difficult some of the music was at the concert when someone else
in the band tried to take a solo and stumbled over themselves. This is a
fantastic growing improvising musician. One of the finest around!
