Dance On Deep Waters 舞曲 騎熊士版
愛德格-克內希特是一位爵士鋼琴家，他創造了自己獨特的風格。他的首張 CD《早安，莉洛菲》（與四人組合）征服了俱樂部，並贏得了國際音樂節的邀請。他對原始旋律的處理與標準爵士樂編曲截然不同，令人耳目一新： 其特點是對曲調的自由感知、多變的節奏以及非傳統的和聲。他的第二張 CD《深水之舞》也採用了同樣的成功秘訣，愛德格-克內希特四重奏樂團將帶著這張 CD 再次進行巡迴演出，春夏季的許多演出已經排定

原文簡介:
Edgar Knecht is a jazz pianist who has created his own unique style. His début CD, “Good Morning Lilofee” (with four-piece combo), conquered the clubs and earned him invitations to international festivals. His treatment of the original melodies is refreshingly different from standard jazz arrangements: It is characterized by a free perception of the tunes, varied rhythms as well as unconventional harmonies. The same recipe for success underlies his second CD, “Dance On Deep Waters”, with which the Edgar Knecht Quartet is again going on tour, with many gigs lined up for spring and summer.
All eight of the songs in our edition offer agreeable and stimulating literature outside the classical and jazz pigeonholes for pianists everywhere, whether or not they dig German folksongs. Familiar tunes such as “Es freit der wilde Wassermann” or “Die Gedanken sind frei” gain a wholly new quality and pizzazz in his arrangements. Though based on the original songs, the pieces go far beyond them in form, harmony and rhythm, thereby turning the originals into top-quality jazz ballads. All the pieces have suggestions for improvised passages, usually with chords and written-out ostinato bass lines.
All the pieces are recorded on the like-named CD with Edgar Knecht at the piano, accompanied by his trio of bass, drums and percussion.
• Eight songs for piano
• Appealing literature
• Ad lib improvised parts
Contents
Lilofee, Gedankenfreiheit (Freedom of Thought), Tiefe Wasser (Deep Waters), Nachttraum (Dream at Night), Fenjas Lullaby, Schwesterlein (Little Sister), Frühling (Spring), Wiegenlied (Cradle Song)
