A.Brunn -V.Karparov -S.Rainer "New Urban World Melodic Grooves".

Jazzlights #07

Christian Erber, NDR : “DUOMEETING - a sound that can only arise in the cultural melting pot of a metropolis like Berlin. Created by three virtuosos on their instruments, to whom cultural boundaries and musical stereotyping are completely foreign.
With New Urban World Melodic Grooves, Brunn, Karparov and Rainer take their audience on a special kind of musical journey of discovery. Their compositions, in which Balkan rhythms mix with funk, Latin and world sounds, testify to extraordinary virtuosity and joy in playing. They never sound bulky or deafening, but always fresh, lively and sparkling. As you would expect in a pulsating melting pot.”
e.g. in Jazzpodium: "Neugrooves x 3 - Concentrated intimate dialogue: A two-guitars-and-a-saxophone trio around Andreas Brunn is currently more than catching the ear."
in Jazzthetik: "The beautiful ballad "Sky" is one of the highlights on New Urban World Melodic Grooves, composer Rainer was inspired by the legendary album Beyond the Missouri Sky by Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden."
and at JazzHalo: "This album is a real treat for the ears and a balm for the soul because of its sophisticated melodic phrasings and dialogues!"
