Info for The Game
Danish saxophone virtuoso Claus Waidtløw, bassist Kasper Vadsholt & drummer Martin Maretti Andersen present their band: Nice Chair. It’s latest release, The Game, provides a vibrant take on the classic, chordless trio format.
“Electing to make an album of tenor-bass-drums music is a bold move; you’d better have something to say, and a way of saying it that compels attention. This trio accomplishes that” says Steve Swallow, who toured with Claus in the late 90s and wrote the liner notes for the album. “I’m grateful to be pushed and prodded, to join these adventurous musicians in a ride full of unexpected twists and turns. It’s good to be alive.”
Over the last 3 decades, these three musicians have recorded and toured with a who’s who of jazz: T oots Thielemanns, Kurt Elling, J ohn Scofield, Carla Bley, C hristian McBride, Jeff Ballard, the NDR Bigband...
