Ghent based pianotrio Steiger have earned their place in the ever growing peloton of young Belgian jazz innovators. As a result, they won the Young Jazztalent price at the 2017 Gent Jazz Festival. With their luscious and rigid grooves in minimalistic framing, they don’t take it so closely with traditions. They play jazz with a rock’n’roll attitude.
Sdban Ultra is very pleased to present a sampler of their debut album ‘And Above All’ on a limited 10” vinyl. This release marks their introduction on Sdban Ultra, their sophomore album is expected next fall.
‘And Above All’ houses both jazz and modern compositions, avant-garde and experimental electronics. Steiger takes inspiration from jazz and refers to the traditions but equally pulls those apart, for example in the chaotic miniature 'Bachfag' and in the intimate 'Inverse/Reverse'. With 'Berlin Revisited' the band clearly chooses electronic instrumentation.
Gilles Vandecaveye - keys
Kobe Boon - double bass
