Snooze-On

"Life is filled with oxymorons and little ironies. Snooze-On is one such irony. These 4 stalwarts of the creative music scene in Berlin kick some m.f. @ss on this CD! A snooze? Hardly. Christian Tschuggnall's compositions are a melodic, but full of tasty rhythmic interplay that makes them perfect for this type of new music. If you want to call it "jazz", it's "group jazz" not the kind that features one person or thought. All the gestures, solos and interpretations of the material presented is done in this spirit. I know all of these players.They are all excellent composers and arrangers in their own right.This is one of the reasons they hit the mark so well. No grandstanding or ego trips are present. Just exciting music filled with surprises, meaning and groove. If you like Zappa,Takemitsu, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Morricone or Wayne Shorter, stayed tuned!"
