Jazz im HDM: Jazz Piano Solo II

"Austrian jazz pianist Martin Gasselsberger delivers a masterpiece of improvisation on his live album Solo in Innsbruck (ATS Records)... He shows himself to be an outstanding musical storyteller on his new album. Solo in Innsbruck is a piece of music that aims to create images in the listener's mind, which it definitely does in a wonderful way". These are some of the press reactions to the concert at Haus der Musik Innsbruck in October 2022, which has since been released on CD. Martin Gasselsberger is now coming to Innsbruck for the second time for a freely improvised piano solo evening. Feeling your way, finding inner peace, trusting, not wanting anything, immersing yourself - that is the brief for this evening. "Martin Gasselsberger always manages to lay new tracks and steer events in a new direction. This keeps the tension in his pieces high from the first to the last note...Everything is formed in the now..." The starting point will therefore be the same for artists and audience alike - not knowing where the journey of discovery through the most diverse musical atmospheres will lead.
