"Das begeisterte Publikum lässt sich auf die zahlreichen überraschende Wendungen ein, die neben sperrigen und freien Läufen auch lyrisch-perlende sowie swingende Passagen kennen."
(Klaus Mümpfer - Jazzpages)
A deep musical friendship connects the Cologne pianist Lucas Leidinger and the Belgian saxophonist Daniel Daemen. The two musicians have been playing together since 2010 and over the years have created a common sound language in which their instruments merge into a single entity. Dialogic forms provide the framework for the sonic search for the greatest possible freedom of expression. The unmistakably lyrical saxophone sound of Daniel Daemen meets the open piano sounds of Lucas Leidinger here. You will be transported by Lucas Leidinger's compositional stories into specially created worlds in which music can unfold and move with the freedom of the moment. The sensitive interplay between the two exceptional musicians ultimately contributed to Lucas Leidinger being awarded the "Horst and Gretl Will Scholarship for Jazz and Improvised Music of the City of Cologne" in 2016.
