Foureign Language by Maurice Storrer

Liner Notes:

This music knows its roots, but it burns brightly in the present. From today's perspective, traditional jazz is set back about 60 years: swing and bebop have been absorbed, the free approach to the material has reached its first high points, the radicalism of free jazz has only just begun. Reflecting this aesthetic, the Maurice Storrer Quartet plays entirely in the here and now.

With their fresh ideas, the four instrumentalists carry the spirit of jazz into the future. This music never hesitates – it is always present and unfolds, beyond trends and zeitgeist. It glows, reflects, moves, is curious and passionate. A raw beauty emerges from the compositions and makes the familiar jazz terrain newly tangible.
