Evelyn Kryger - Live at JazzBaltica 2021 (2022) [Hi-Res]

Evelyn Kryger is a band from Cologne, Hanover and Berlin. Saxophonist Cito Kaling, violinist Rebecca Czech, pianist and keyboardist Arne Dreske, bassist Jonas Holland-Moritz and drummer Hannes Dunker generate a flexible dramaturgy from their different preferences and temperaments, which also holds many surprises for the band itself. In this context, poetry is not conceivable without energy, melancholy not without cheerfulness, curiosity not without the certain knowledge of tradition, musical openness for the
tion, musical openness for the big picture not without pedantry in detail. The basic ideas of the songs come about in very different ways. Sometimes a member brings a fragment, a groove or a melodic element, which is played together according to open rules. Often there are three or more separate ideas that are then combined. Only in longer processes, tested over playing, do they become complete pieces. Not infrequently, the song moves so far away from the
during this metamorphosis, the song often departs so far from the original idea that in the end it becomes a completely different piece than initially thought. It is precisely this impartiality for the musical result that makes Evelyn Kryger's music so close to life. The concert at JazzBaltica could hardly be compared to other playing situations, because the band - due to the lockdown - had not performed in front of an audience for a whole year. The feeling of fervent redemption can be felt in every single moment
t can be felt. There are musical personalities on stage whose purpose in life is to play on a stage in front of people, but who have not been allowed to do so for far too long. The band is totally with and in itself, but also completely with and for the audience. With the CD this gives the feeling that the music is exclusively for the two ears that are listening to it. Evelyn Kryger have long since created their own genre and celebrate an equally ba
rierless as it is boundless music. "Live At JazzBaltica 2021" is the passport to a sound aesthetic that not only allows associations to flow freely, but virtually invites each listener to find the link to his or her own life.
