Info zu Stay There

Der bekannte Schlagzeuger Jorge Rossy tauscht seine Schlagstöcke gegen Klöppel und demonstriert am Vibrafon und an der Marimba seine Liebe zur Melodie. Ihm zur Seite stehen drei weitere Giganten der zeitgenössischen Musik und langjährige Freunde: Tenorsaxofonist Mark Turner, Gitarrist Peter Bernstein und Bassist Doug Weiss. Man addiere dazu noch den legendären Miles Davis Schlagzeuger Al Foster und erhalte ein wirkungsvolles musikalisches Elixier. Modern Jazz in melodischer Höchstform.

„… spielerisch verspielt, vertieft in den musikalischen Ausdruck, dem persönlichen Klang verpflichtet.“ (Jazzthing)

„Neue musikalische Türen stößt er [Rossy] mit diesem Album nicht auf, liefert ›nur‹ stimmungsvollen Modern Jazz vom Feinsten und zeigt als Mallet-Spieler eine bisher unbekannte, höchst attraktive Seite seiner Begabung.“ (Fono Forum)
