Mythos on CD

Like no other German pianist, Chris Gall has consistently and creatively expanded the stylistic boundaries of jazz in the last few years, inspiring audiences from the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival to the JazzBaltica. Mulo Francel is a saxophonist and globetrotter. Also known as the creative whirlwind of the ensemble Quadro Nuevo. For many years, the multiple ECHO award winner has been touring the countries of the world. From Bavaria to the Balkans to Bolivia. Together, Chris and Mulo turned the night into day in Buenos Aires. The result was the album Quadro Nuevo: Tango, which was awarded the German Jazz Award in Platinum. The duo now presents a fascinating cosmos of virtuoso improvisations, mesmerizing minimal music elements, subtle grooves, new interpretations of classical works, magical impressionistic sound images and atmospheric ballads. Their music feeds on encounters with people, their cultures, their myths. It addresses the ancient dream of mankind symbolized in Icarus' outbreak from one's own destiny, as well as the adventures of Aeneas in search of a new home. It devotes itself with "The 7 Wise Men" to a political idea and, with "Jesu bleibet meine Freude" to the most formative myth of the Occident.
