About the show
Just ahead of the release of his highly anticipated debut release, Still Water, Niklas Lukassen brings his music (some from his album and some entirely new) to the Bull & Gate with a stimulating, especially for this night assembled line up.
Launching on Kurt Rosenwinkel’s Heartcore Records on Feb. 20, "Still Waters” is a radiant display of Niklas Lukassen’s combined talents as a bassist, composer and also vocalist (on Luna).
The album features Niklas’ internationally renowned quartet with saxophonist Ben van Gelder, pianist Kit Downes and drummer Francesco Ciniglio, fusing captivating individualists of the jazz scenes of Amsterdam, London, Paris and Berlin into one symbiotic musical organism.
With natural improvisational flow, this unit’s interplay runs like water through sonic river forks into unexpected directions. Unafraid of intentional, suspenseful collision, it produces pounding waves of raw energy. Enriched by artistic contributions from guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel, saxophonist Wanja Slavin & trombonist Geoffroy De Masure, they musically explore the unimagined depths that underlie supposedly still waters.
