You’d have to search high and low for a band like Velvet Revolution, and it’s quite likely nothing comparable can be found. Even on paper, this combination of saxophone, violin, and vibraphone seems bold. It holds a promise of chamber- Music sensitivity and multifaceted timbres, and suggests tone colour, intimacy as well as dynamism, and expressive improvisations. Particularly when such experts as Daniel Erdmann, Théo Ceccaldi, and Jim Hart are at work, musicians who have all already made a mark for themselves in the jazz landscape of Europe. As a musician and composer Daniel Erdmann developed a characteristic sound and an unmistakable idiom years ago. The warm, earthy timbre of his tenorsax and a wide-ranging expressiveness, from clear melodies to husky modulations and flickering abstractions, are the humus for the various flowers that drive Erdmann’s band projects. He has already displayed an instinct for unusual, exciting formations many times.
