about
The saxophonist Peter Lehel and the organist Peter Schindler, each with their own distinct musical backgrounds, have found each other here at a juncture where two worlds come together. The organ is the ideal backdrop for the tones of the saxophone. The saxophone, with its immense expressiveness, is like an additional register of the organ. Meditative moments alternate with rhythmically impulsive passages. Stirring improvisations follow sections of clearly structured composition. The saxophone shines as soloist, from a breeze-like subtlety to a euphoric cry. The powerful organ fills the room with principals and mixtures. The result is an unconventional sound that moves and delights a wide audience. Natural resonance also contributes to the specialness of the listening experience. From time to time, the duo expands into a trio. On such occasions, percussionist Markus Faller creates a percussion-based foundation that inserts itself into the tonal cosmos of the whole project. With pulsing rhythms, singing drums, cymbals, brushes and concert tom-toms, he accompanies either with great sensitivity or he carries the piece forward with power and vigor. Through his own unique accent, he becomes the connecting link between the sacred space and the ethereal, weightless jazz.
