The clarinetist and composer Rebecca Trescher shows with her ensemble 11 that she is unquestionably one of the most interesting visionaries of the German jazz scene. With Floating Food she released the second album of her eleven-chamber chamber ensemble. "Even if a part of the suite grew out of thought, I had no political or programmatic work from the outset, but absolute music, which, in spite of its multifaceted facet, largely leaves a feeling of joy," explains Rebecca Trescher The cast of Ensemble 11 could be called daring, does not in any way follow the proven ensemble kits of jazz-compositorial ambitions. In front of the iridescent background of a harmony section of piano, vibraphone and harp is played an opulent set of saxophones, clarinets, classical flute, voice and violoncello. This special composition with its varied range of sound colors forms the basis for a fresh-looking symbiosis of jazz and contemporary e-music that looks far beyond the borders of the jazz convention. Rebecca Trescher's compositions are distinguished by the exciting balance between musical adventure and elegant beauty. The subjects of her plays are fed with a precise, empathic view of the surrounding world and reveal a rich, sometimes perplexing inner life in the reflected view of details. With eloquent melodies and advanced harmonies, always on the basis of an artistically dancing rhythm, a symphonic poetry emerges which also lives from the improvisational possibilities of unfolding and the unconditional surrender of the strong characters within the sound body. Thus the ensemble 11 creates a musical fabric, ranging from lyrical intimate delicacy, cultivated polyphony to an energetically high risk, always with the warm ensemble sound of an experienced, trusting and well-established collective.
