Stewy von Wattenwyl has been part of the Brambus jazz family for decades and has delivered fine productions both solo, with his trio or with the singer Nicole Herzog, which have received great national and international recognition.

With the CD IN THE GIANTS GARDEN, von Wattenwyl realizes an idea that he has carried around with him as a dream project for many years: Only re-assemble music composed by pianists.

Music from well-known key artists such as Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock or Keith Jarrett to those who are almost forgotten today like Mal Waldron or Ray Bryant, rather not the hits but the pearls that did not make it into the Great American Songbook.

The trio is looking for and finding completely new ways and means to make every work shine in a diverse yet coherent bouquet. Stylistically diverse music from different eras, which touches somehow, be it through its groove, its lyrical power or the idiosyncratic arrangements and interpretations of the well-rehearsed ensemble.
