András Dés is one of the few percussionists who have not only absorbed a whole arsenal of musical styles as a member of various bands, but have also founded their own ensembles. Dés, who has been living in Vienna for many years, has formed a quartet with three Austrian musicians, Martin Eberle, Kenji Herbert and Philipp Nykrin, to capture the essence of European jazz: diversity, openness and the power of listening to each other. The unusual drum set is joined by trumpet, piano and electric guitar, and the way these three instruments are played often differs from what is customary. The thinking of András Dés and his bandmates is defined just as much by many different trends in American and European jazz of the last few decades, as by earlier and contemporary classical music, the instinctively complex rhythmic structures of traditional musical cultures, or even the influence of various popular music styles, for instance, the elemental energy of rock music. After the release of Unimportant Things last year, the band is now recording their second album for BMC Records.
