  • UWE Obergs LACY POOL Uwe Oberg Piano / Rudi Mahall Clarinets / Michael Griener Drums
    UWE OBERGs LACY POOL Uwe Oberg piano / Rudi Mahall clarinets / Michael Griener drums Just released! LACY POOL_2 (Leo Records / London) LACY POOL was founded by German pianist Uwe Oberg. With an intriguing lineup with the Berlin-based clarinettist Rudi Mahall and drummer Michael Griener, the band explores different styles in Steve Lacy's music and Oberg's compositions. It's a joyful celebration as well as an deconstruction, that transfers the Lacy's pieces into the present. Fresh and inquisitive. JAZZWEEKLY July 2017 “On Lacy Pool, an intriguing lineup (piano-trombone-drums) revisit what might one day become standards - 10 compositions penned by Steve Lacy. Uwe Oberg's angular lines, Christof Thewes' soaring trombone and drummer Michael Griener's clever support help bring out the joy that inhabits those pieces. Their truculent nods at Dixieland or Thelonious Monk are a reminder of how both influences informed the late soprano sax player's development. They never get lost in a meditative state, because Oberg and company's mood is definetely more celebratory than mournful. To sum up, this is an excellent addition to the recent tributes paid to Lacy's legacy that will surely inspire more generations to come. DOWNBEAT, December 2010 Great players, luminously entertaining album. TOUCHING EXTREMES, Okt. 2010 Confirming that the music of a true original like Lacy is best celebrated by adding to it rather than copying, the three leap into the Lacy Pool at the deep end. Accepting this challenge, they still manage an Olympic medal-like performance. KEN WAXMAN, March 2010 This refreshing and innovative, forward-thinking look on Steve Lacy's music is imaginatively clever as it is delightful.
