Album: Decisions We Make

For András Dés, jazz is lived democracy: a form of dialogue based on trust. For this dialogue, he found creative partners with strong and distinctive voices in Martin Eberle, Philipp Nykrin, and Kenji Herbert. The 49-minute recording unfolds as an uninterrupted musical journey, linking compositions with open structures where playfulness, spontaneity, and risk-taking play a central role. As Gabriel Kahane writes in the liner notes of the album, “It’s a testament to these four musicians that the free improvisations…feel as coherent and intentional as the eight tunes written by Dés.”
