Albert van Veenendaal/Meinrad Kneer
The Munderkingen Sessions, Part 1
€18.50 (incl. shipping + tax)

the recordings from the german town with the same name are crystal clear and show how crafty kneer and van veenendaal treat dynamics. their improvisations are soft as whispers at times but a piece like “oscar & willi” will roar out of the speakers...even though neither of them will have their instrument fit into its respective traditional role the music displays no clichés whatsoever. also during the open improvisations and sound explorations the music will maintain its core and remains exciting and unpredictable...
