SCHMIDT HAPPENS! - ANDREAS SCHMIDT | PETER WENIGER | ANDREAS HENZE | KAI BUSSENIUS (CD)

Schmidt Happens! And that almost every week at the Berlin jazz club A-Trane. The pianist Andreas Schmidt has played over 500 concerts here within the last 10 years. Andreas Henze and Kai Bussenius belong to the group of Monday night session regulars in A-Trane. The trio's concerts were often inspired by Peter Weniger's contribution on the saxophone. For the recording session in A-Trane, Andreas Schmidt chose compositions out of his repertoire that had an open and improvisational approach to them in order to enable this musical meeting of soul-mates to move freely. The incredibly well attuned trio drive the soloist on to energetic heights.
