WILLI KELLERS THE CIRCLE
Hans Peter Hiby (ts/as)
Willi KellersThe Circle Quartet
brings together an impressive variety of
musical backrounds and influences, from
deeply rooted jazz and classical music
to the frontiers of free improvisation.
Hans Peter Hiby, known for his powerful
presence and innovation in the field of
avant-garde jazz, together with Rieko
Okudas`s virituoso piano playing, Meinrad Kneer`s masterful double bass and Willi Kellers` dynamic drumming, form
an ensemble that takes the audience into new musical dimensions.
Hans Peter Hiby Quartet
Hans Peter Hiby (ts/as)
The explosive music of this quartet comes from
spontaneous playing and draws inspiration from
both the American and European traditions of
free jazz and free improvisation. It is an inter-
flowing communication of concrete ideas,
risk-taking, surprising decisions, with and
against each other.
RHIZOME PARK
Hans Peter Hiby (ts/as)
Thomas Herberer (tp)
Dieter Manderscheid (b)
Frank Samba (dr)
The four musicians of RHIZOME PARK are
connected by a hidden network of roots: they
have played together for decades - in addition
to other musical activities - in different
combinations and styles, e.g. Hiby/Manderscheid/
Moholo, Frank Schulte Switchbox, Tome XX,
Brötzmann/Samba/Manderscheid, Tippett/Stabbins/
Manderscheid/Samba and many others, but never together in one line-up. All four are united by their love of improvised jazz,
in which each of them has found and developed their own sound.
