Andy Herrmann Quartet
The quartet around Munich-based pianist Andy Herrmann with guitarist Mike Moreno, double bassist Arne Huber and drummer Jochen Rückert is based on international New York-style jazz and European elements, with their complex harmonies and unconventional chord progressions. From the artistic point of view, it is roughly in line with Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays and Aaron Parks. “Sincerity” is the title of the latest work. And this title keeps what it promises, namely honest sound, solid, understandable and accessible to all. The compositions are written by Andy Herrmann himself, and each one has its own color, is cohesive and coherent. The musicians involved in the project by no means have a shadowy existence, rather they enjoy their specifically assigned roles. Particularly supporting is that of guitarist Moreno, who runs through lengthy, substantial improvisational sequences, giving the work a distinctive, fresh character.
