Music full of wit, breaks, surprises, quarrels beyond styles and definitions "Afro Garage" is the first release of a Swiss trio which looks like a "classical" piano trio. But these three artists approach music by open improvising, creating a music full of wit, breaks, surprises, quarrels beyond styles and definitions. Care-free strolling along combined with striking conclusions. Chaos is always lurking just around the corner, but thanks to a superb feeling of form and time, it dosen't stand a chance. Baumann, Siron and Ulrich all are experienced band leaders, side men, soloists and have collaborated before in numerous projects such as Cadavre Exquis, Chat, Rouge Frisé & Acide, Les Passeurs d'Instants. As a trio, however, they are exceptional. Their credo is: "As composers and performers we are mainly interested in the spontaneous organisation of material won by coincidence." It sounds simple - but listen to these ten miniatures: It is honest improvisation: Honest in a way your ears can follow. And understand. Pius Knüsel
