Projekt Beschreibung
The Andy Middleton Quartet is the band that I have developed for performing and recording that best allows me to express my musical vision as a composer and improvisor. I have played with Alan Jones and Paul Imm since 1992 and these artists create the highest level of band interactivity that I’ve experienced in a small group context, and, with the addition of Tino Derado in 2005 I found the ideal combination of historical jazz reference and modern harmonic elements. The 8 pieces on this recording all have different improvisational forms, harmonic content and melodic openness, including modal harmonic elements as well as diatonic resolutions and forms
