LOTUS CRASH

Lotus Crash brings together four outstanding improvisers; their musical biographies are very different; all of them have already distinguished themselves with strong, artistically independent projects and they have been working together for quite a long time in a variety of different constellations. What unites them is their idea of sound and aesthetics. This quartet sounds raw and primal; it has an astonishingly warm and expressive sound. The repertoire consists of their own highly original themes. The line up with two wind instruments plus rhythm section, no harmony instrument, has a long tradition. Lotus Crash develops this tradition further through the use of contemporary instrumental techniques, open forms and hidden composition. The Band`s sophisticated improvisations are off the beaten track; this is creative Jazz at its best. from www.lotuscrash.ch
