For All We Know - Thomas Ruckert Trio - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

A piano trio that plays standards, including ubiquitous ones such as "Stella By Starlight" and "Body and Soul": a case of decent, basic jazz? By no means! "We're really creating weird stuff," pianist Thomas Rückert said. Weird, because it is completely detached from the usual conventions of standard interpretation. "One of my favorite disciplines is to create new spaces, to associate, to fantasize by way of standards without retaining their classic form, but always with reference to the song, to its spirit, as well as to the lyrics."

"For All We Know" is the pure document of a magical concert evening in the LOFT in Cologne: without cuts and without any subsequent embellishment. There were standing ovations at the end. “That was really awesome. Our music seems to have triggered something with the audience,” the leader stated happily. Rückert gratefully emphasized how important and how much it meant to him. There were no rehearsals of pieces not on the set list. In addition, the three hadn't played with each other for quite some time beforehand. An excellent example of the special qualities that come from long familiarity and a shared vision.
