Wolfgang Muthspiel, leading his trio featuring Scott Colley on bass and Brian Blade on drums, reaches new creative heights with "Dance of the Elders". This album follows the highly acclaimed 'Angular Blues', which The Times described upon its release as 'a quietly impressive work'.
Here, Wolfgang continues his approach, his unique compositional talents providing his bandmates with the material and support for particularly intense exchanges. The guitarist's writing and his approach to jazz have always been strongly influenced by folk music and the classical world – but these two aspects of his universe are particularly evident throughout this new album. The floating percussive impulses of Brian Blade's drumming and the subtle counterpoints of Scott Colley's double bass sketch adventurous harmonic landscapes riddled with complex polyrhythms, offering Wolfgang Muthspiel's fluid style, on both acoustic and electric guitar, an interactive space in which to flourish.
