{"product_id":"oracle","title":"ORACLE","description":"The musical friendship between Swiss saxophonist Co Streiff and American trumpeter Russ Johnson, which has developed through various musical collaborations, dates back to 2004. Their experiences-Streiff as the bandleader of various groups and through her work with pianist Irene Schweizer; Johnson, who has played with just about everyone in New York-are the best aspects of intercultural exchange. \"In 2012 the quartet released it's stellar debut In Circles, capturing a shared aesthetic for keyboard-less quartets stretching back to Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker, and especially Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry. Several annual European tours followed for several years, followed by a long hiatus. The musicians reunited in 2019, with Gerry Hemingway stepping on drums, and as heard on Oracle, recorded on different stops along the group's 2023 tour, the rejiggered line-up had hit it's stride\", writes Peter Margasak in the liner notes. For such musical heights to be possible, a common ground is needed-and here, that basis has been strengthened by more than 20 years of continuous collaboration.","brand":"INTAKT RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":53125177639192,"sku":"7640120194581","price":20.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4535046-3688963.jpg?v=1793643310","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/oracle","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
