Driftwood Quartet - Litha - Jazz Thing Next Generation Vol. 100 (2023)

Jazz rock - the term "fusion" has been preferred for quite some time - has a bad reputation that stems from the higher-fast-forward times of the genre in the seventies of the twentieth century. An honorary rescue is provided by the Driftwood Quartet, an ensemble from Switzerland founded by guitarist Joachim "Joa" Frey. Frey's highly individual compositions with their polyrhythmic structures are complex and ambitious, but always accessible.
