Project Description

No sooner do you put the new album by the Barbara Rektenwald Trio into the CD player than you find yourself right in the thick of things—somewhere between Buenos Aires and the Blue Danube—drawn into moods ranging from "Valentine's Day" to "Zerstörung" (Destruction). "Mittendrin" (Right in the Middle) is thus not merely the album's title but truly the guiding theme of a disc that leaves almost no jazz genre untouched.
