Ronny Graupe - Spoom (2013) [Hi-Res]

With wide-ranging imagination, firmly grounded competence as interpreters and breathtakingly versatile improvisers, Graupe, Wetergaard, and Lillinger create 'audio drama' that bubbles with vitality and captivates with its wealth of colorful sonorities. So don't wait, put in the album, turn up the sound, sit back, get comfortable, and make it Spoom.

Ronny Graupe's 'Spoom' was founded in 2004. After the trio initially concentrated on jazz standards, the group began to work with compositions written by Ronny Graupe. In contrast to traditional jazz standards, these compositions follow elements of classical music. The musical context is limited – unlike traditional jazz - not just to short musical themes, on which improvisations are based; musical ideas are molded and processed so that a longer compositional arch can be recognized.

The improvistations are in equal weight to the notated material. They illustrate a reflection on the compositional component. The current repertoire is based on the theme, 'earth' (It was the nightingale) and “space” (Canaveral).
