With Craig Taborn, an unmitigated world star of avant-garde jazz comes to Hamburg. The pianist from Minneapolis has been on the lookout for new sounds for over a quarter of a century. He finds them not only on his own instrument, but also on modular synthesisers and in electronic effects, which he lays down over his highly improvised playing. DownBeat Magazine therefore dubbed him »one of the great visionaries on the current scene«. No wonder that, for his trio, Craig Taborn has taken on board musicians who share his passion for improvisation and sound.
