Maximilian Geller - Alpenglühen '2013

Tracks list

In the 70s and 80s, Punk and Bossa Nova were merged into an exciting new genre
called Nouvelle Vague. Thirty years later, Maximilian Geller has given birth to
an equally adventurous and unique blend of styles: folkmusic-jazz. It is taking
you home and to faraway places at the same time, to alpine cabins and basement
jazz clubs all at once.

It took some time before Geller had gathered the courage to create
folkmusic-jazz. And truth be told, the thought of this renowned saxophonist -
regarded as a jazz icon from Munich to New York - playing Austrian landlers and
jodlers, does sound crazy. And yet, the idea is not quite as mad as one might
initially think. After all, Geller is a Swiss citizen and grew up as a child of
the alps. Waltzes, traditional tunes and alpine nursery rhymes would be his
favourites long before he came to appreciate Django Reinhard.

Once youve heard this music, it wont let go of you. Just like folk music never
let go of Max Geller.
