Jo­han­nes En­ders Quar­tet «Phan­tom Hap­pi­ness»

Contemporary jazz ranging from lyrical intimacy to energetic urgency.
The magnificent saxophonist Johannes Enders is also coming to the bird’s eye with his recently released album “Phantom Happiness”. Fragile moments of happiness give way to fleeting moods and erupt into a tension between inner calm and restless movement. Melodic clarity meets open forms; complex rhythms meet spontaneous interaction. Enders’ distinctive, expressive tenor saxophone sound unfolds over Rainer Böhm’s dense harmonies, carried by Doug Weiss’s deep, elastic pulse and Jorge Rossy’s subtle yet powerful rhythmic language.
