Tree - Between a Rock and a Hard Place '2019

Tracks list

In films, time and place are used to ground a story in a particular atmosphere,
to give it emotional background – but they reveal little about the story
itself, about its meaning or eventual resolution. The compositions of the
Vienna-based ensemble Tree serve a similar purpose: they provide a setting, but
it is during the process of improvisation and interaction that they truly unfold
into living, breathing stories. Georg Vogel, Andreas Waelti and Michael
Prowaznik play jazz in all its various forms, devoting themselves to the
interplay of conceptual and intuitive ideas, elaborating or contrasting them in
the course of their improvisation. The trio’s approach is refreshingly
undogmatic: anachronisms are cleverly updated, liberated, and merged with the
modern to form new hybrids. «Tree» works as a unit in the best sense of
the word, showing conclusively that even in postmodern times, music can retain a
special vitality.
