"PAY 8 GET 10!" - Alex Pinter Quartet
Alessa Records ALR 1012
Infos Alex Pinter: www.alexpinter.at
 
   
  The Alex Pinter Quartet is a new young, fresh and modern sounding Jazz Combo, consisting of the routiniers Raphael Preuschl (b) and Peter Natterer (ss/ts), and prospective Berklee students Michael Kihn (dr) and bandleader and mastermind Alex Pinter (g).

On the quest of its sound, the quartet moves through different genres – contemporary jazz, which doesn't refuse to incorporate modern styles like drum'n'bass, but always keeping in mind where jazz has its roots. In this modern context, "traditional" improvisation as well as soundscaping with a wide variety of effects both have enough room to emerge. The sound on the new album "PAY 8 GET 10" is also a mixture between the knowledge of jazz tradition and the consciousness of the 21st century.

Alex PInter Quartet Two well-known musicians of the austrian jazz scene, Herbert Pirker (dr) and Martin Eberle (tp), perform a really worth-listening guest appearance on track 7 of the album.

Conclusion: a young talented quartet, which surely will grab the headlines in the future – listening highly recommended!
