Florian Weiss’ Woodism
Thursday, 07/11/2024 / 06:00 PM - 07:00 PM / Elbphilharmonie Kulturcafé
Ideally, a tight music ensemble is connected by an invisible elastic thread: when one end is pulled, every member of the band moves in sync with it. This is the perfect description of Woodism. The four musicians mesh perfectly as they shift confidently and fluidly from one composition to the next.
Woodism was founded in 2014 by trombonist Florian Weiss. Three years later, Weiss and fellow quartet members, Linus Amstad (alto sax), Valentin v. Fischer (double bass) and Philipp Leibundgut (drums) released their debut album »Woodoism«. Their sophomore album »Refugium«, issued on the German-based record level Neuklang, followed in 2019. Music press reviews called it a »magic brew« and lauded the quartet for creating a daring, original sound that inhabits the stylistic space between cool and free jazz.
