Today it is often forgotten that jazz is not only a unique art form, but also a social music. This social aspect comes to the fore in particular where it is not about epoch-making innovations or daring experiments, but about providing a "neighborhood audience" with musical soul food. That's why people like to talk about soul jazz in this context.
The Hammond organ is a very special instrument: with its wonderful bag sounds and cheerful bubbling bass runs, it is an indispensable part of soul jazz. With ROOT AREA, saxophonist Christoph Grab presents his equally contemporary and timeless variant of soul jazz including Hammond power.
The core of ROOT AREA is formed by Grab, the Hammond specialist Marcel Thomi and the drummer Elmar Frey - they have been successfully on the road as a trio for several years. Now the next stage is ignited: with a repertoire consisting of original compositions (8 x Grab, 1 x Frey) and with exquisite saxophonist support by Nicole Johänntgen and Victoria Mozalevskaya. Thanks to the exemplary rehearsals of the trio and the quick comprehension and impressive improvisational spontaneity of Johänntgen and Mozalevskaya, it only took one day to record the debut album of ROOT AREA.
