Gratkowski, Frank/achim Kaufmann/wilbert De Joode/tony Buck

Flatbosc & Cautery

The addition of drummer Tony Buck to the long-established trio of Frank Gratkowski (reeds), Achim Kaufmann (piano), and Wilbert de Joode (bass) elevates the group's sound to new, high-energy heights. Recorded live in Cologne, these six tracks showcase the group's seamless interplay, where solos are rare, and collective improvisation takes center stage. Tracks like 'Biomes' demonstrate their dynamic power, blending roiling drums, angular piano crashes, and squealing saxophones. Mastery of extended techniques allows for rich textural exchanges, while Gratkowski's use of flute adds a soaring dimension. This album offers an enthralling journey of spontaneous, avant-garde jazz.
