NIKOLAUS NEUSER

trumpet player and improviser

Out on Leo Records now ! (LR 752)

"Of the many ways in which this record honors Mingus, it's really its spirit of inventiveness that stands out the most. A terrific accomplishment, and a strong contender for one of 2016's best releases."

All about Jazz, NYC, by Troy Dostert

"Mingus looms all too large in progressive jazz of the last century to ever be forgotten. He’s too enigmatic a figure to replicate. To varying degrees, such diverse figures as Jean Derome, Joni Mitchell and Hal Willner - not to mention the standing Mingus Big Band and Mingus Orchestra - have attempted to fit into his shoes. This German double-horn trio stands up with the best of them."

Alexander Frangenheim / double bass

Berlin’s analogue electronic wizard, plus distinguished players Neuser and Frangenheim on trumpet and doublebass make research embedding and contrasting electronics and acoustic instruments. Sometimes seemingly tracing towards composed electro-acoustic music, this is a vivid, freely interacting musical conversation between players venturing sharky evental modes and sonic extremes.
