Pianist and composer Simon Nabatov has played with "who's who" of the jazz and improvised music community, given concerts in over 60 countries, appeared on the numerous international festivals, received prizes and documented his music on 30 CD's under his own name. His musical activities include Jazz, improvised, experimental and world music. Nabatov’s initial idea to extend his Cologne-based quartet - hence the CD title – resulted in this exciting musical document. Both tracks, while fully improvised, appear to follow invisible road maps, offering the listener new landscapes at each stage of the journey. From tender passages of chamber-music to exuberant peaks of collective energy, the band, made up of some of the finest musicians Europe has to offer, engages in wide-ranging absorbing storytelling.
