Album Notes

Maurits Roes is presenting you his first CD which he recorded for O.A.P. Records. This CD takes us on a journey through a varied landscape of rich sounds, impressionistic colors and fascinating rhythms - all the way to the surprising version of Coltrane’s ‘Impressions’.
With bass player Andor Horvath and drummer Emanuel Donadelli, Roes has created a musical family that could successfully travel the road of Jazz and improvised music for many years to come. The playing and musicianship on this debut CD is very mature, rich and, as they say, separates the boys from the men. It is a rare treat to hear a young talented pianist present himself in such a polished manner and with brilliant sound and technique. There are spontaneous sketches of sound combined with traditional forms of music and it’s all performed with great taste and respect for the repertoire. The choice of songs, the exiting interplay, the wonderful arrangements and the surprising interpretations make this CD an enjoyable and inspiring adventure for the listener.
