CHRISTIAN PABST TRIO + 7
"SONG OF OPPOSITES"

"I love to mark sad faces in fair weather;
And hear a merry laugh amid the thunder"
John Keats

"When the international press talks about German pianist Christian Pabst, you often hear words like „a poet at the piano" or „an extraordinarily lyrical musician". One reason might be that the foundation of his music is always a story and a very personal one.

After living and playing in Paris and Copenhagen, Christian returned to his adopted home Amsterdam with plenty of musical and human impressions. He's reflecting these intensive past two years in Song of Opposites - the new album of his longtime trio.
Central to the thrilling compositions are his companions David Andres on bass and Kaspars Kurdeko on drums. Christian and David grew up together in Germany and are playing together for eleven years. David is living in Cologne. He is a sought-after bassist because of his melodic approach and his exceptional sense for groove. Latvian drummer Kaspars Kurdeko, who learned his craft in Amsterdam and New York, perfects the trio's sound with his passionate and sensitive playing.

Most remarkable of this group and their new program is the very personal way of storytelling that this trio has been associated with since its beginning: elegantly through- composed passages connect effortlessly with powerful interplay and improvisational fire. The poetry unfolds by merging various artistic and cultural influences and thus manages to touch listeners from all musical backgrounds.

The many prizes on competitions and the praise by the worldwide press for their concerts and records confirm their status as rising stars of the European jazz scene.

"Song of Opposites" is available from mid-june 2014 on iTunes, Amazon, etc. in your local record store and of course on the live concerts. The record features not only the trio but also a stellar international ensemble consisting of three strings, three horns and a vocalist."
