"imagine the following scenario: a highly likeable german soccer club, whose team inspires mainly (but not only) by its playing style (but not only), augments themselves for one season with an outstanding international superstar (e.g. cristiano ronaldo or erling haaland). this is what it looks like when three top musicians of the german improv scene invite a chicago legend as their turbo. ... the musicians harmonize with delicate ease, build tension without resorting to plain crescendos, slip from one unexpected note to another at the last second, find drama in silence and calm in chaos. ... soundbridges offers a lot: dynamics, wild free jazz, contemplative phases, sound excursions. everything flows homogeneously into each other as if there were no dividing lines. through sound bridges, in the most beautiful sense of the word."
