Charly Schmid (saxophone), Gunter Wagner (accordion), H. G. Gutternigg (tuba), Ewald Zach (drums)
A lustful and experienced co-operation, based on the principles of musical interaction, open-minded thinking and the incorporation of different styles.
Their first CD "Worldwide Landsleut" (and also the next ones) demonstrates their gratitude to the traditional folk songs of Upper-Austria from the Anton Bruckner era (or so). The recording presents the four musicians in a refreshing way which escalates to an interesting musical level – at times playing with a touch of irony and humour and above all a swinging easiness.
All of them studied at the Jazz Department of the Anton-Bruckner University Linz. Although the line-up appears to present a typical - if not classical - jazz quartet, the piano has been replaced by the accordion and as the bass instrument a tuba can be heard. Therefore – combined with saxophone and drums – a compact sound with lots of interesting variations has been created.
