About the concert
- Alexander Rueß - Gitarre & Komposition
- Luca Curcio - Kontrabass
- Sebastian Merk - drums
Breathing grooves meet intimate melodies – with DEBUT, the guitarist and composer Alexander Rueß presents his first album as a bandleader. With Luca Curcio on double bass and Sebastian Merk on drums, the trio weaves a soundscape that is supported by melodic directness and Nordic intimacy. Personal, clear and at the same time open to discovery.
Her music tells in lyrical melodies and driving grooves and is occasionally pervaded by excursions that suggest folk or prog-rock influences - not superficially, but as part of a vibrant, European jazz language. Growing up in East Holstein and now ten years in Berlin and Copenhagen, Rueß brings his melodic directness and his own sonic handwriting.
DEBUT will be released on Double Moon Records/Jazzthing “Next Generation” and the album features Nils Landgren as a guest. Rueß has played alongside renowned artists in recent years, including with the quartet of GRAMMY winner Nicole Zuraitis and the jazz singer with Atrin Madani. With the Alexander Rueß Trio, he now presents music of clear intention: open, personal and lastingly touching.
