Continuum Terra Mofino - Bht4730027 - Jazz - by Avi Music

The musical concept of Continuum consists of improvising about Early music tunes in a Jazz format which may be of some considerable age hundreds of years ago. The band staffs with Jazz musicians Dirk Piezunka (Soprano- and Tenor sax, Bass clarinet and various percussion instruments), of his brother Jens Piezunka (double bass and voice) and the guitar player Martin Flindt. TERRA MOFINO is the name of the CD containing songs of Martin Luther, which has been released by the band Continuum in celebration of the jubilee Reformation. TERRA MOFINO is the Anagramm from the word Reformation, Terra means Earth and Mofino is more an artificial word to echo Sound and Phantasy. The trio is specialised on working and arranging early music. The old tunes may be changed in rhythm, in harmonies, the modes, the gestures, adding Intros or interludes ....all this been done with stylistic devices of various musical cultures and styles.. The original will be always identifiable. These ne arrangements are the platforms for improvisations in different styles – a mixture of Jazz and world music
