ACT Music: ACT 9668-2 http://www.actmusic.com/product_info.php?products_id=315 * Michael Wollny: piano * Eva Kruse: bass * Eric Schaefer: drums http://www.bbmb.de/cms/website.php?id=/de/bands/[em].html http://www.michael-wollny.de/ http://evakruse.de/ http://ericschaefer.de/ Reviews ~~~~~~ By John Fordham http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/oct/07/wollny-kruse-shaefer-em-review It might be shortchanging this young German group's distinctive character, but the [em] trio's current music has heir-to-EST written all over it, and not only because they record for the same label that the late Esbjörn Svensson did so much to put on the map. But while the square-bracketed [em] (the letters declare drummer Eric Schaefer and pianist Michael Wollny to be equal members of bassist Eva Kruse's group) share Svensson's knack for rock-band intensity, jazz spontaneity and classical precision, they do it all their own way. This live album is the group's freest and yet most cohesive creation, shifting from funky, chord-pounding pieces (fans of Neil Cowley might be kindred spirits here) to lyrical piano reflections and hip uptempo swing. Sometimes Wollny spreads pools of sound around Kruse's pure bowed hum, sometimes he fires spurts of staccato melody and chord clangs over Schaefer's sweeping drums. It's an exciting set, as the crowd reaction confirms. -- By Bruce Lindsay http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=37675 By Stuart Nicholson http://www.jazzwisemagazine.com/reviews-mainmenu-132/11652?task=view Por I.
