about

Small Pauer was originally released in 2013 as a mini CD. You can buy it here: www.euphorium.de/rubriken/records/smallpauer.htm

DESCRIPTION:
As you supposably know Oliver Schwerdt coming along within an ensemble is nothing less than a linear player. At least the multiplicity of his chordal structuring finds an equivalent in Christian Lillinger‘s rhythmical figuration. But of course primarily Schwerdt lays out his audible formations rhythmically too. Both personalities born under the star of the late East Germany well known for it’s paradisiac conditions of free jazz command boundless fields of energy. Constantly working as a dyadic motorization of trios and quintets with heroic wind players like Ernst-Ludwig Petrowsky, Peter Brötzmann, Akira Sakata, John Dikeman and double bass pairings like Robert Landfermann/John Edwards, John Eckhardt/John Edwards, Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten/John Edwards, John Eckhardt/Antonio Borghini since 2006 maybe L i l l i s c h w e r d t is their most splendid instrumental work at all. For sure they celebrate a highly integrated musically co-operating organism. Anyway if they playing together you get a feast of pressure and a festival of density. Listen to Small Pauer you may be surprised how luminous that spicy sound of interaction can get. Opening the album with another piano solo piece called Dry Swing the duet is followed by a short speedy piano trio featuring Robert Landfermann.

Oliver Schwerdt und Christian Lillinger schreiben in ihrem Duo-Spiel die mit den Konfigurationen Mengelberg-Bennink, Schlippenbach-Johansson, Gumpert-Sommer, Taylor-Oxley als europäisch lesbare instrumentale Konstellation der Free-Jazz-Tradition fort. Nach seinen Tandem Spaces mit Günter Sommer legt Schwerdt nun sein Duo-Spiel mit dem jüngeren Baby, Lillinger vor.

REVIEWS:
Perfectly compatible high gear. For every string scrub and spank there’s a drum clatter and pop – and both depend on the keyboardist’s even-handed voicing. So well is the balance maintained between power and prettiness that at one moment pastel note blending could come from a Bill Evans session, and the next second the kinetic key-stopping suggests Oscar Peterson’s classic trio.
