Voted “Best of 2021” by the critics of “The New York City Jazz Record,” the reaction to Remedy’s debut on the FSR label was not only a welcome boost to our morale but also confirmed the musical strategies we have been developing as a band: three equal partners, sharing an artistic vision where structure, collective interplay and individual free expression are evenly matched. While the ingredients will and have to change with each new piece, an instantly identifiable ensemble sound holds it all together. A generous grant by the German Musikfonds allowed us to further our development as a group in 2022. The result constitutes “Remedy Vol. 2,” a set of eight compositions specifically written for this occasion, moving the needle yet further in our aim to create a listener’s experience that is exciting and thought-provoking all at once.
