Conceptual Works No.3 by Root 70. On this album we invited three of our favourite string players. Mostly calm and romantic music. Recorded live to two track at Deutschlandfunk Studio Cologne. a co-production with the radio. There aren"t all too many formations in Jazz, and even fewer in German-speaking countries, that have worked constantly over many years. Root 70 is, however, such a group. From album to album, one can follow how trombonist Nils Wogram, saxophonist Hayden Chisholm, bassist Matt Penman and drummer Jochen Rückert have not only founded a dynamic group identity and diligently merged into a unit over many years. One can also hear how these musicians have set new focal points in their work together, again and again, far beyond the sum of their individual parts. On Riomar, they transcend the quartet context for the first time and expand their structure by three string instruments.
