Das Ensemble 5 sch\u00f6pft aus einem grossen Pool von musikalischen Ausdrucksm\u00f6glichkeiten. Die verschiedenen Hintergr\u00fcnde der Bandmitglieder, ihr grosses Vokabular und ihre F\u00e4higkeit zuzuh\u00f6ren und aufeinander zu reagieren bilden das Grundger\u00fcst f\u00fcr die oft komplexe Klang-Architektur, jenseits des Mainstreams.<\/p>\n

Die Gruppe ist seit 2010 durch eine Reihe von Jamsessions zusammengewachsen. 2012 erscheint die erste Aufnahme \u201cSolstice\u201d bei dem renommierten englischen Label Leo Records.<\/p>\n

Pressezitate:
\n\u201e…on ne peut plus douter un seul instant du riche futur de l\u2019Ensemble 5.\u201c
\nLuc Bouquet, le son du grisli<\/em>
\n\u201eF\u00fcr mich klingt das zeitgem\u00e4\u00dfer als Vieles, was sich so nennt.\u201c
\nRigobert Dittmann, Bad Alchemy<\/em>
\n\u201eA tightly-knit group playing dynamic, talktative improvisations with lots of control, as testified by the one-two punch two-and-a-half-minute opener \u00a8In short\u00a8.Quite convinving.\u201c
\nFran\u00e7ois Couture<\/em>
\n\u201eI brani convincono, la musica prosegue per onde di forte e piano, di free e astrattismi e il coinvolgimento di ascoltatori e musicisti \u00e8 totale.\u201c
\nVittorio LoConte, Music Zoom<\/em>
\n\u201eEin Abenteuer f\u00fcr Unverzagte.\u201c
\nManfred Papst, NZZ am Sonntag<\/em>
\n\u201e…the five players from different worlds of music bring their abilities to create an astounding unity. I admire the expressions of this tight knit group.\u201c
\nYuki Omura, Jazz Japan<\/em>
\n\u201eR\u00e9unis en parfaite connivence, ils s\u2019appellent, se r\u00e9pondent, r\u00e9pliquent, entrem\u00ealent leurs voix, bref se r\u00e9galent et improvisent \u00e0 qui mieux mieux dans une s\u00e9rie de pi\u00e8ces de free jazz dynamique et stimulant.\u201c
\nJean Buzelin, Culture Jazz<\/em>
\n\u201e…an entirely free improv collective that holds together cohesively, blending well the art of noise with a gentler vocabulary.\u201c
\nSelwyn Harris, Jazzwise<\/em>
\n\u201e…un abbraccio virtuoso e stimolante tra generazioni dalla mente aperta e dalla voglia continua di mettersi in gioco.\u201c
\nVincenzo Roggero, Italia all about jaz<\/em>z
\n\u201e… Ensemble 5 embraces a great deal of fertile musical space.\u201c
\nGlenn Astarita, all about jazz<\/em>
\n\u201e… a true simulation of human feelings.\u201c
\nEttore Garzia, Percorsi Musicali<\/em>
\n\u201e… a really enjoyable and uplifting listening experience.\u201c
\nJoacim Nyberg, Soundofmusic<\/em>
\n\u201e… With Ensemble 5, Heinz Geisser has hit a gold streak. This second CD for Leo Records is even better than their debut. Eight pieces in the three-to-seven-minute range, all focused, rich, thrilling improvisations that go straight to the point. And \u201cMother Earth,\u201d with its atavistic chanting, is adorable. I just had to listen to this Cd twice in a row.\u201c
\nFran\u00e7ois Couture<\/em>
\n\u201e… La loro musica vuole essere contemporanea, onnivora, quasi globalizzata perch\u00e8 in grado di prendere da tanti fonti di ispirazione e sa fondere i diversi elementi in modo coerente, a volte sottile a volte pi\u00f9 energizzante grazie al pianoforte ed alla ritmica che agiscono costantemente empatici su una linea di percorso molto chiara.\u201c
\nVittorio LoConte, Music Zoom<\/em>
\n\u201e… Geisser […] Blumer […] Staub […] und Morgenthaler brillieren immer wieder mit Soli, die sich jedoch stets in den \u00fcbergeordneten Kontext einer gemeinsamen Richtung einordnen – ohne sich dabei zu subordinieren. Nomen es omen: das Ensemblespiel der vier Musiker wird zu keinem Zeitpunkt sekund\u00e4r, sondern beherrscht das Geschehen im Studio souver\u00e4n.\u201c
\nRainer Bratfisch, Jazzpodium<\/em>
\n\u201e… Frei geformter, transparenter, spannungsgeladener Jazz einer hervorragend aufgestellten, homogenen Band in ihrer zweiten Ver\u00f6ffentlichung.\u201c
\nChristian Gysi, JazzLinks<\/em>
\n\u201e… there is never a drift away from the metre and through the album the solidity is constant. This coherence in what is very evidently a suite of freely improvised free jazz is impressive: it depends of course on a vivacious, aural structure, itself drawn from a breadth of musical lexis and expression.\u201c
\nKen Cheetham, Jazz Views<\/em>
\n\u201e… The freedom Ensemble 5 exhibits [is] a freedom to make music, real music.\u201c
\nMark Corroto, All About Jazz<\/em>
