There’s much to savour on this debut from Basel trumpeter Marco von Orelli’s sextet, from the wiry lines and multiphonics of trombonist Lukas Briggen to Lukas Roos’s wild bass clarinet, with bassist Kaspar von Gruningen and drummer Samuel Duhsler ensuring the mechanism runs smoothly. Pianist Michel Wintsch deftly counterpoints the horn solos with pockets of activity that perfectly encapsulate the music’s larger harmonic evolution. Orelli’s compositions , like his trumpet playing, are intricately structured and technically impressive without beeing flashy. And it’s not without surprise: love how “ Urban Ways“ moves from M-Base metrics into post-Reductionist splutter without batting an eyelid.

Dan Warburton, Wire May 2012

A beautiful little record – and one of the most compelling Hat Art sets we’ve heard from a younger artist in a long time!
The approach here is quite fresh – initially an interplay of tones and textures, which quickly moves into
some rhythmically expressive tunes that push the band forward nicely.
There’s then a return to more subtle sound shifts – making great use of piano from Michel Wintsch and
bass clarinet from Lukas Roos – then opening up with more lively lines from Marco Von Orelli on trumpet and Lukas Briggen on trombone! Wintsch also plays a bit of keyboards, and the set also features Kaspar Von Grunigen on bass and Samuel Duhsler on drums.
Titles include “Marsala’s Strandgut”, “Urban Ways”, “Poetry”, “Narragonia”, and “Maris”.
It is a very nice record, indeed!
