Six exceptional, creative next generation musicians already exceptional due to their individuality from all corners of the southern German an dAustrian scene, a fun community that is based on a deep-rooted kinship: that’s the Kammerer OrKoster. The name already indicates that they are certainly not concertned with following the usual rules. The two founders Richard Koster and Jakob Kammerer, along with other ensemble members Beate Wiesinger, Alois Aberl, Christian Amstatter-Zochbauer and Benjamin Daxbacher do not need a harmony instrument. They much prefer putting the chords in the voices of a very rare brass section. What results is both unusual and unique: 10 brazen compositions with titles such as “Burgler Boogie,” “Meditationblues,” “Die Birke,” and “Farewell Well Well.” This music falls somewhere between a casual attitude and sublime elegance, between Alpine humor and urban profundity, between irresistible groove and filigree virtuosity, between nostalgia-free tradition and down-to-earth modernity.
