Bellbird

"Bellbird is one of those young German jazz groups that draw on the vitality and creativity of the Cologne-Berlin axis. Woodwind players Christoph Möckel and Holger Werner, guitarist Tobias Hoffmann, pianist Marco Mlynek, bass player Oliver Lutz and percussionist Max Andrzejewski make up this solid "twelve-handed" orchestra. The musicians are not only perfectly attuned but combine to form a brilliant unity of individual opposites. Everybody has his place. No note, no beat, no nuance and no intention is superfluous.
