Christian von der Goltz Trio - Complicated Stories (2005)

“Ever since his trio debut Sophie Said, von der Goltz has been treating fans of modern lyrical piano jazz to a new trio CD every three years, all of which have met with high critical acclaim. Complicated Stories (With No End) consists entirely of his own songs; beautiful titles offer an initial taste of the music’s character, which oscillates between visually evocative and song-like, develops from the unique and often catchy themes and motifs, savors the melodies, and then plunges them into impressionistically colored harmonies in alternating rhythms, which extend from swing to groove to graceful, waltz-like jazz.” Fono Forum
