New Directions Cello Festival Ithaca/New York (USA) 2017 June 16 - 18
Thomas Rückert: "As artful in their use of white space as they are when kicking it out,
sometimes this piano trio is so minimalist that it seems like they aren't
even there and you have to adjust your levels to get rid of what seems like
white noise--but isn‘t. In addition to the originals, they know what to do
with everything from Denny Zeitlin to Lerner & Loewe. It's a different kind
of wild ride and an art jazz fan must." midwest records entertainment
Thomas appeared over the last years constantly with his Trio, solo or as a
sideman on the festivals, in the clubs and in Radio and TV playing with Lee
Konitz, Randy Brecker, Mark Murphy, Adam Nussbaum, Greg Hutchinson,
John Goldsby, Jay Anderson, Ack van Royen and the WDR Big Band.
