Maximilian Hering Group - Nostalgia (January 2022)

“Nostalgia” is the name of drummer Maximilian Hering’s debut album with his “Maximilian Hering Group”, featuring the Barcelona based Félix Rossy, Edu Cabello and David Muñoz. The extraordinary line up -two horns, bass and drums- proved to be a format in which all four players would have the freedom of unfolding their personality and creating a vivid musical interplay between each other. The album contains seven original pieces, all composed by the bandleader. “Nostalgia”, also referring to the title track, is related to a melancholic flashback to the period when Maximilian was a resident in Catalonia. On two songs Andalusian flautist Fernando Brox joins the quartet and enlarges the harmonic and melodic possibilities of the band’s instrumentation.
