In nine original compositions, Nico Weber creates space for contemplation. Together with his quartet (Maxim Burtsev on piano, Jakob Jäger on bass, Leo Ebert on drums), he crafts a distinctive warm sound on the debut album ‘Ela’, one that is pure and unadulterated, delving into depth. The unmistakably contemporary jazz-rooted titles impress with melodic beauty. On the alto saxophone, Florian Trübsbach adds a special touch to ‘Ela’ in his features, seamlessly blending with musical elegance into the full sound of the band.
