When three musicians sound as one, the trio becomes a band. Indeed, Franz Hellmüller, Marco Zanoli and Stefano Risso actually sound even like a small orchestra. One would actually think that ever since the Jimi Hendrix Experience, there'slittle to add to the guitar, bass and drums combination. Yet then came John Abercombie's trio, "Gateway", followed by Pat Metheney's "Bright Size Life". Ten years later, Bill Frisell, Kermit Driscoll and Joey Baron shuffled the cards once again. This path is not easily followed, but it inevitably leads to the album "Waiting For You" by Swiss guitarist Franz Hellmüller along with drummer Marco Zanoli and bassist Stefano Risso. Wolf KampmannOne has to imagine the listener of Hellmüller-Risso-Zanoli as a happy person...Join this fascinating band on a journey into the great wide open. No instrumentalist tries to overwhelm the others with his technical prowess, and it is exactly because of this that their talent is even more apparent; soft impulses draw their force from an only seeming calmness.
