Sebastian Gramss METEORS

There might not be a more experimental bassist in this country than Sebastian Gramss - at Enjoy Jazz you could experience this often enough, for example with his homage to Stefano Scodanibbio, where 13 double bass players were on stage, with his minimalistic Double the Double Bass project or with States of Play, an ensemble of three trios - two rhythm sections, brass plus live prepared disc piano. "The next level of urban polyphony," raved critics, "magical sounds of the greatest beauty" heard others.

METEORS is an offshoot of States of Play. The sextet released its first album "Message To The Outer Space" in May, a journey of discovery oscillating between sensual overwhelming force and abstract deconstructive lust, processual and open. The musicians see their complex, multi-layered soundscapes as a "cinematic sound event", always evolving in an "organic flow". You don't have to be an astronomer to predict that METEORS will also hit live.
