Stefan Schönegg- bass
Fabian Arends- drums

The wondrous congruence of the saxophone sounds by Stefan Karl Schmid and Leonhard Huhn is crux of the matter on SCHMID’s HUHN. Together with bassist Stefan Schönegg and Fabian Arends on drums this phenomenon is used to reveal tonal details, attrition and diverse colors. The absence of an harmonic instrument thereby leaves the desired space to improvise, communicate and interact with each other whereat the treatment of the individually composed material is conducted by the particular moment.
Energetic and fierce passages are followed by earthy and lyrical parts revealing the musical influences of the protagonists. Winding ‘Tristano-like’ themes as well as segments inspired by Maurice Ravel or Luciano Berio are handled with care and aim to fill the space between tradition and avantgarde.
