STEPHAN MATTNER ZOOM [D]

Openness and form - this is how you could describe the music of tenor saxophonist and improviser Stephan Mattner. His characteristic compositions open up many musical paths, which are unfolded with melodic sense, rhythmic variability and the necessary composure. In the warm, unmistakable sound of his tenor saxophone, some musical realms of the 70s and 80s appear in a new light. The result is music that is independent and yet rooted in the great jazz tradition.
