Woodwind and composer Jan Kiesewetter ventures forth on 'The Mission', his band's second release. While the debut 'For the Cats' (2014) already veered towards euphonious originality its successor 'The Mission' intensily advances another cornerstone in Kiesewetter's sonic cosmos. He takes his musicians, guitarist Bernd Huber, double-bass player Uli Fiedler and drummer Tilman Herpichböhm on quite a trip. A trip to artisticly phrase his innate fondness for music. A trip that retains the fascination and the evidently endless delight in playing and experimenting. 'The Mission' sounds as blythely and boundless as a freshly recorded superb live gig. Swiss jazzlabel UNIT has released a contemporary feast for the ears.
