Erich Kleinschuster led one of Central Europe's most accomplished jazz ensembles, anchoring the Austrian and German jazz scene with thoughtful, modal-informed improvisation. This 1999 live recording captures the sextett in dynamic form, showcasing interplay between horns and rhythm section in the contemporary jazz tradition. The music moves between structured compositions and free exploration, with careful attention to space and texture. Kleinschuster's leadership allows each musician room to breathe, creating a conversational approach to jazz that avoids both fusion flash and pure abstraction. The live setting brings an immediacy and spontaneity that studio recordings sometimes miss. For listeners seeking intelligent, accessible modern jazz with European sensibility, this is a rewarding document of a working ensemble at their best.
