Description

In this new album, 'Entangled Music' Frank Wingold together with Robert Landfermann and Jonas Burgwinkel bring together their eclectic influences and vast experience from tours, concerts and other musical formations.

Frank Wingold describes his music as "entangled". Guitarist, composer and professor of jazz guitar in OsnabrÃ¼ck, Germany, he borrows the term from quantum mechanics. "On an artistic level it's a fascinating idea for musicians and artists," he explains. "Two or more particles can act on one another, apparently without communication and become an intertwined system."

This principle runs through Frank Wingold's new album, in which he teams up with Robert Landfermann on bass and Jonas Burgwinkel on drums. The trio produces an energetic, lively polyphony in which the three instruments weave and interweave. "Each can be top, middle or bottom of the texture at the same time," says Frank. "It's always changing. That's an idea I like a lot." He is very concerned though not to make the descriptions too academic and off-putting. The listener is treated to an engrossing, highly original, multidimensional sound in this "parallel world of music".

Such playing requires both versatility and precision. "I was attracted to the chamber music style trio setting," explains Frank. "Jonas and Robert together are a very strong rhythm section. They've known each other for a long time and they fit together very well."

Their music is high density. The trio develops its sound on different layers. The arrangements allow contrasting melodies to be played out at the same time. They are a masterpiece of composition and improvisation. Replete with textures and ornaments, the music tears apart the traditional allocation of instrumental roles. It amounts to a very personal, emotional expression of musical ideas. Above all it makes for great listening.
