"Abreisetag" (QFTF) at the end of the album of the same name by the young saxophonist Richard Ebert is a return from the dreamscapes of his debut album "Nyx" (Unit). There is no melancholy or wanderlust here. The focus is always on the future and the fact that the band's development has not come to a standstill with their second album shows a completely new spectrum of musical expression beyond the classic roles of the typical jazz quartet.
The four musicians, who met during their music studies in Dresden and have already played over 70 concerts in Germany and Austria, move lightly and always full of poetry through detailed arrangements in which they attach just as much importance to sophisticated song structures as to lyrical or fast-paced improvisations.
They skillfully incorporate elements from the current mainstream of modern jazz as well as experimental sound collages and play "a simultaneously gripping and subtle jazz [...] that captures the head, heart, soul and body in equal measure, a jazz that opens up spaces of imagination and freedom," as the Thuringische Landeszeitung writes.
