Trotz ihrem un\u00fcberh\u00f6rbaren Avantgarde-Ansatz lassen sie immer wieder einladende Grooves, Blues-Linien und elektronische Verfremdungen einfliessen, die jedoch g\u00e4nzlich auf dem erweiterten Ausdruckspektrum ihrer Instrumente beruhen. Zur aktuellen Tour haben sie den 2008 in Estland als Jazzmusiker des Jahres geehrten Schlagzeuger Tanel Ruben eingeladen, der das Duo mit viel Witz und Ironie zum Power-Trio erg\u00e4nzt. Musik, die direkt in den Bauch geht!<\/p>\n<p>Line-up<br \/>Robert Morgenthaler tb, efx, Urs R\u00f6llin g, efx, Tanel Ruben dr<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ensemble 5 feat.

Morgenthaler treibt sein Instrument schon mal an die musikalischen und physischen Grenzen, l\u00e4sst Melodie und Sound in selten geh\u00f6rter Intensit\u00e4t und Souver\u00e4nit\u00e4t miteinander kommunizieren.<\/p>\n<p>Manchmal werden die Kl\u00e4nge der Posaune durch elektronische Effekte dermassen verfremdet, dass der Ursprung nur schwer auszumachen ist. Mal taucht ein formal traditionell gedachtes Lied auf oder es wird ganz improvisiert. Es fasziniert die Leichtigkeit, mit welcher er den Prozess des &#8222;im Moment komponieren&#8220; h\u00f6rbar macht.<\/p>\n<p>Durch den eigenwilligen Einsatz von Loops und analogen Effekten erweitert Morgenthaler die M\u00f6glichkeiten seines Instruments, definiert es neu und macht die Musik zu einem intellektuellen wie sinnlichen Abenteuer. Morgenthaler verleiht der Musik einen sehr pers\u00f6nlichen und vielschichtigen, modernen Ausdruck.<br \/>\u2013 Wie das klingt? Nach zeitgen\u00f6ssischem Jazz, der sich auch beim Rock, Pop und der Worldmusic bedient. Ruhige Momente, wo Morgenthaler&#8217;s Posaune an die schwarzen Soulstimmen erinnert, wechseln mit vertrackten Grooves und trashigen Sounds ab. Das \u00dcberraschungsmoment ist hoch. Immer wieder blitzen lausb\u00fcbische Ideen, Ironien und viel Spa\u00df bei seinen Kompositionen und Improvisationen durch, die unauff\u00e4llig mit viel Technik r\u00fcberkommen.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Morgenthaler Trombone, Electronics<\/p>\n<p>Unit Records UTR 4421<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/robertmorgenthaler.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/694.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-309 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/robertmorgenthaler.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/694.jpg\" alt=\"694\" width=\"238\" height=\"238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robertmorgenthaler.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/694.jpg 354w, https:\/\/robertmorgenthaler.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/694-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/robertmorgenthaler.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/694-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 238px) 100vw, 238px\" \/><\/a>Ensemble 5: The Summary Of 4 (2014)<\/p>\n<p>By MARK CORROTO, Published: April 21, 2014<br \/>It is refreshing to hear a free jazz improvising group that doesn&#8217;t abandon meter and melody for the goal of spontaneous music making. For percussionist Heinz Geisser, performing improvised music doesn&#8217;t require he throw the figurative baby out with the bath water. The dude abides.<\/p>\n<p>Like the Collective 4tet he established in the 1990s with bassist William Parker, Ensemble 5 is both a free jazz vehicle and a quartet, yes, a quartet. Geisser, a conservatory trained classical guitarist turned self-taught drummer is the fomenter of this outfit that includes bassist Fridolin Blumer, Reto Staub (piano), and Robert Morgenthaler (trombone). The &#8218;5&#8216; indicates these four often perform with a guest artist, as we are told in the liner notes, prior to this studio session they had returned from a tour of Japan. The 5 also symbolizes the synergistic resonance of four players engaged in the creation of something new.<\/p>\n<p>The blundering walk of the opening track &#8222;Layers&#8220; flows into a floodplain of stacked notes: piano runs, trombone blasts, and deep bass palpitations. Geisser oversees the affair with the batter and scuttle of his drum kit. The ensemble excels at the cavalier musical comment that often comes in unsuspected moments. Their keen listening affords this nonchalance, either in the minimalist improvisation of &#8222;Out Of Bounds&#8220; or the hand-claps and shouts of &#8222;Mother Earth,&#8220; where the quartet occupies a blues demeanor bursting with conspicuous shenanigans. The title track develops in an organic and coherent, yet unstructured gambol of note churning energy, each player pushing the animation. The freedom Ensemble 5 exhibits a freedom to make music, real music.<\/p>\n<p>Track Listing: Layers; Out Of Bounds; For Good; Mother Earth; The Summary Of 4; Ecgoes; Here And Now; Equilibrium.<\/p>\n<p>Personnel: Heinz Geisser: percussion; Fridolin Blumer: double bass; Reto Staub: piano; Robert Morgenthaler: trombone.<\/p>\n<p>Record Label: Leo Records<!--more--><!--more--><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"736\" src=\"http:\/\/robertmorgenthaler.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/e5-broschu\u0308re-23-24_digital-V3-migros-atelier-3-pdf-1024x736.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-644\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"http:\/\/robertmorgenthaler.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Flyer-Tour-2025-v2.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Einbettung von Flyer Tour 2025 v2.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-35cae55a-4ea9-4a8a-9753-af2e0e7e4f50\" href=\"http:\/\/robertmorgenthaler.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Flyer-Tour-2025-v2.pdf\">Flyer Tour 2025 v2<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/robertmorgenthaler.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Flyer-Tour-2025-v2.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-35cae55a-4ea9-4a8a-9753-af2e0e7e4f50\">Herunterladen<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MORGENTHALER\/R\u00d6LLIN FEAT.
