Menage A Trois - Wieder, Gansch & Paul - LP - Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

WIEDER, GANSCH & PAUL’s “MENAGE A TROIS” is a rare treat for jazz enthusiasts who crave inventive interplay and sharp musicianship. This trio, comprised of Georg Breinschmid (bass), Thomas Gansch (trumpet), and Leonhard Paul (trombone), forges a dynamic musical dialogue that’s as witty as it is technically stunning. Each track feels like a conversation where boundaries are pushed, and humor is never far from virtuosity. The trio’s approach to jazz is refreshingly unorthodox, weaving in elements of cabaret, classical, and even a touch of folk, yet always anchored by their razor-sharp improvisational skills. The album’s arrangements allow each member to shine, bouncing melodic ideas around like quick-witted repartee, yet always serving the collective sound. This isn’t background music—it’s a listening experience that rewards attention, revealing subtle shifts in tone, mood, and rhythm with every spin. For collectors, “MENAGE A TROIS” represents the intersection of technical mastery and playful risk-taking, offering a snapshot of European jazz at its most adventurous. It’s a must-have for those who value albums that challenge, surprise, and never take themselves too seriously.
