Maximilian Geller - Alpengl�hen

In the 70s and 80s, Punk and Bossa Nova were merged into anexciting new genre called Nouvelle Vague. Thirty years later,Maximilian Geller has given birth to an equally adventurous andunique blend of styles: folkmusic-jazz. It is taking you homeand to faraway places at the same time, to alpine cabins andbasement jazz clubs all at once.It took some time before Geller had gathered the courage tocreate folkmusic-jazz. And truth be told, the thought of thisrenowned saxophonist, regarded as a jazz icon from Munich toNew York, playing Austrian landlers and jodlers, does soundcrazy. And yet, the idea is not quite as mad as one mightinitially think. After all, Geller is a Swiss citizen and grew up asa child of the alps. Waltzes, traditional tunes and alpine nurseryrhymes would be his favourites long before he came toappreciate Django Reinhardt.
