PRESTIN/CARSTEN UHLIG, THOMAS - The River

"The River is a live recording -- a snapshot of music from the Hamburger ZustandsZone scene between 2014 and 2025. Blending free improvisation with structural depth, the album offers a sonic exploration that will appeal to both purists of the genre and lovers of avant-garde sounds in the contemporary jazz landscape. The striking artwork underscores the artistic ambition of this highly personal work, which fluidly transcends the boundaries between tradition and modern abstraction."
