Drechsler
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ulrich Drechsler - tenor saxophone/contrabass clarinet
Oliver Steger - double bass
Jörg Mikula - drums
Zuzee - turntables
latest release: "Fortune Cookie" (2006, Cracked Anegg)
The music of Drechsler goes back to the roots: to the rhythm, to dancing!
An irresistible blend of HipHop, drum'n'bass, R&B, Bossa Nova etc. A totally independent and contemporary sound combining the best of acoustic and electronic music that prevents you from sitting in your chairs.
Ulrich Drechsler who plays at Drechsler not only the tenor saxophone, but also the monster contrabass clarinet, is well known as the long lasting member of the internationally celebrated band "Café Drechsler". The same counts for the contrabassist Oliver Steger. Both are bond by a long successful cooperation.
Jörg Mikula, the drummer of the band has a great reputation by working with Timna Brauer and the Sandy Lopicic Orchester. Last but not least Zuzee: gangster of the DJ-syndicate "Waxolutionists" and an exceptionally gifted turntable artist.
Ulrich Drechsler Quartet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ulrich Drechsler - bass clarinet
Tord Gustavsen - piano
Oliver Steger - double bass
Jörg Mikula - drums
(also available as a trio without Tord Gustavsen)
latest release: "Humans & Places" (2006, Cracked Anegg)
"Touching gently, floating, slowly expanding this music finally seduces the listener with its memorizable melodies, the harmonious interplay and its unresistable calm."
With "Humans & Places" Ulrich Drechsler presents his own, very personal compositions.
"Humans & Places" is taking him back to his first and favorite instrument, the bass clarinet. Together with longtime compaignons bassist Oliver Steger and drummer Jörg Mikula, furthermore pianist extraordinaire Tord Gustavsen from Norway, he put together a fantastic group. In Tord Gustavsen he found a partner who perfectly absorbs his ideas, processing them in his unmistakable, unique way.
Ulrich Drechsler Trio
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ulrich Drechsler - bass clarinet
Heimo Trixner - guitar
Jörg Mikula - drums
latest release: "Daily Mysteries" (2007, Cracked Anegg)
The compositions in “Daily Mysteries” tell the stories of the small personal phenomena which occur to us every day, which every one of us lives in a different way and which we cannot explain.
The musicians’ inspiration comes from a universe of landscapes and atmospheres filled with sound; sometimes elegant, sometimes sharp but constantly with a balance and peacefulness, which is unbroken note in the entire album.
Together they emerge out of a variety of constantly changing forms of expression and ideas, building a fine net, from which a warm, unique sound comes into light.
Similarly to the music of the quartet with Tord Gustavsen, the melodies and their gentle motion play a dominant role. The distance to the “proper” rhythm-group, the unique interpretation of the bass clarinet, guitar und drums, as well as the absolute equilibrium of the instruments allow the musicians to move much more freely within the context. The music acquires an ascending atmospheric character.
Drechsler/Steger/Tanschek
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ulrich Drechsler - bass-/contrabass clarinet
Lorenz Raab - trumpet/flugelhorn
Oliver Steger - double bass
Harry Tanschek - drums
(also available as a trio without Lorenz Raab)
latest release: "The Monk In All Of Us" (2005, Cracked Anegg)
The music of Thelonius Monk fascinates musicians as well as audiences since more than half a century. The matchlessness, the originality, the wit! These characteristics, which are not frequently found nowadays, describe Monk’s work. Ulrich Drechsler, Loreny Raab, Oliver Steger and Harald Tanschek introduce “The Monk in All of Us” in new, unknown ways through the making of one of the greatest geniuses of Jazz.
The unconventional configuration f the quartet, which is made up of bass and contra-bass clarinet, trumpet, contra-bass and drums, brings new musical features in Thelonious Monk’s music.
