Wolfgang Dauner

"The boundaries in jazz have now become smoother, the horizon is expanding. Dauner, Mariano and Saluzzi anticipated these developments back in the eighties. You can hear it immediately: three world class musicians get together. Wolfgang Dauner is one of the pioneers of German jazz and is one of the first avant-garde players; he also explores classical territory on the piano. Charlie Mariano showed for decades that he had an open ear for world music influences. And the virtuoso on the bandoneon, Dino Saluzzi brings his expressive playing into jazz sessions. Together they create enchantingly beautiful and timeless music, in the sumptuous melodies, unexpected jumps in rhythm and the elegantly flowing solos. Jazz meets tango -- in a daring, as well as emotionally moving, performance."
