Jasper Van 't Hof Trio Feat. Christof Lauer
Skin Under
The unstoppable Jasper van 't Hof has yet again jumped off the deep end! He has releases an album with the mysterious title 'Skin Under', that he created together with two of his favourite creative minds; Stefan Lievestro(contrabass) and Jamie Peet (drums). As cherry on the cake, he asked the renowned saxophonist Christof Lauer (1953) to join in. Van 't Hof and Lauer know each other since 1983, when Ralf Huebner asked them to collaborate for the recording of his record Courage of the past, which included the very moving piece Marsch of Oelze, which is the only composition on "Skin Under" that van 't Hof didn't himself compose. 'Skin under' consists of seven pieces, each of which form an individual challenge for both musicians and listeners alike. This is without doubt one of van 't Hof's most trail-blaising projects to date; no clichees, no trite phrases, and nothing obvious. Jasper Van 't Hof intended this to be a completely experimental sound experience.a true trial for the senses-and so it is!
