The Goldman Variations on CD

The titles of this music are as much a play on words as it's content is a play on musical idioms and abstraction based on the 30-year-old 'Ground Music' concept developed while composing for Blue Collar, the Andreas Willers Octet and Montauk among others, striving for further development of a contemporary European jazz language. Andreas Willers started out as a blues and avantgarde guitarist, first outing 1981 on the FMP label ('Hier & Als Auch', solo guitar), studied electric guitar and composition in Los Angeles (MI/GIT, with Joe Diorio), Hamburg (HfM, w. Harry Pepl) and Banff/Canada (w. John Abercrombie). He has composed for the Jazz Baltica Ensemble, the NDR Bigband, numerous new music ensembles, and is a founding member of the musicians cooperative Jazzfront Berlin-Brandenburg.
