CD Tristanesque-reflections in jazz



With his CD Tristanesque – reflections in jazz the pianist Helmut Löscher together with Bernd Heitzler (bass) and Harald Rüschenbaum (drum) approach the music of Richard Wagner from the perspective of contemporary jazz. In the words of Lörscher: „As a pianist I have been fascinated for quite some time by the affinity of modern jazz harmony with the chromatic style of Tristan." 

The CD has been widely received as a sophisticated, sensual and entertaining reflection on the music of Richard Wagner. The trio has already been invited to play at the International Beethoven Festival in Bonn and at Haus Wahnfried in Bayreuth. www.helmutloerscher.de. Contact: helmut.loerscher@t-online.de
