Flex
27 The first recording from one of the most influential new music trios working today. Comes highly recommended. Pianist Georg Graewe has been working with Reijseger and Hemingway for some years. Flex 27 is a spare, judicious album of miniatures. There's no expressive improv overload in sight - restraint dominates the game, and the trio play with immense mutual confidence. They have a disciplined way of building a succession of distinctive episodes within the slightly longer pieces, which amounts to exemplary group work. It's highly mobile music, stubbornly resistant to definition or stasis. Graewe presents his ideas in an fleeting, elusive way, Reijseger tends to fuller elaboration, and Hemingway makes an extraordinarily sensitive arbiter of what goes or doesn't go. It is perhaps his uniquely open approach that gives the trio its unusual flexibility. Will Montgomery, The Wire It's too difficult to list all the superlatives that come to mind. Mind-boggling music.
