Co Streiff – Russ Johnson Quartet
The sound of Co Streiff’s groups is unmistakable, their compositions and playing style create a fantastic atmosphere. The English music magazine “The Wire” marveled at the coolness of Streiff’s playing and described her music as “glorious, incategorisable modern music”.
With Russ Johnson, she has now been working in this quartet for over a decade with one of the most sought-after trumpeters of new jazz in the USA.
The compositions of Co Streiff and Russ Johnson serve the band as a playing field for extended and daring improvisations. Christian Weber on bass and Gerry Hemingway on drums – two musicians who are internationally renowned for their incredible joy of playing and experimenting – make it possible for every concert to be different. This quartet creates music of raw beauty and takes the audience on long journeys, on which the musicians constantly surprise each other.
For all its freedom, this music always remains transparent and accessible. This is thanks to the compositions of Co Streiff and Russ Johnson, which bear a clear and unmistakable signature, but also thanks to the improvisations of this collective, which develops the pieces completely organically.
