Uli Kem­pen­dorffs «FIELD»

A nuanced jazz style that straddles the line between the abstract and the concrete.
Uli Kempendorff’s “FIELD” captivates with an idiosyncratic sound comprising light, well-measured vibraphone impulses and free yet warm and gentle improvisations that exude a sense of harmonic homogeneity. With consummate skill, the musicians create a subtly interwoven avant-garde tapestry full of multidirectional counterpoints, deeply rooted in swinging jazz and radiating a special charisma. The balance between an open yet precisely articulated form and complex melodies that are always easy to follow surprises the listener with a soothing sense of enduring wholeness.
