Ben Schwendener/Uwe Steinmetz
Apfelschaun (GRV 1900-7)
Recorded live in Boston, Berlin and Caux (Switzerland), Apfelschaun documents the highlights of Boston-based pianist/composer Ben Schwendener's 2001 and 2002 tours with a variety of groups featuring German-born saxophonist Uwe Steinmetz. Their collaboration on Apfelschaun ranges from duets to numerous quartet and quintet performances of Schwendener's innovative original compositions. Credited with creating "a new sound in jazz" (Boston Globe) and "developing his own language, a mix of electric fusion and free jazz that's at once meditative and expansive" (Boston Phoenix), Schwendener's trademark miniature suites draw upon influences like modern jazz, fusion, folk music, and the drama of music for film and dance.

Great new Jazz CD
author: Nate Beyer
Great CD! Schwendener and Steinmetz avoid both the cliches of modern Jazz and the fogiesm of the Jazz classics (that is, the artists who seem content to grind out album after album of Jazz chestnuts). A recording as fresh and alive as anything out there right now, in any genre. This is not your grandfather's Jazz, and not your father's either, but a real addition to, and not a rehash of, the Jazz tradition.
