After more than 10 successful years with numerous CD releases (BMG+ACT Music), concerts at major festivals, such as the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival and JazzBaltica, projects with a wide range of artists, including the percussionist Trilok Gurtu and the drummer Stewart Copeland (The Police), and collaborations on scores for big films ('Hanami-Kirschblüten' / Dorris Doerrie, 'Der Baader-Meinhoff-Komplex' / Bernd Eichinger), the Hamburg-based ensemble Elbtonal Percussion are now releasing their first live CD entitled 'In Concert'. Thanks to the outstanding work of the Hamburg film production company 'cut4u' and the sound engineer Ulrich Holst ('wachtmann-musikproduktion'), the band’s new release is a high-quality live recording of their current set, with numerous classic drum pieces and many of their own compositions. Embedded in an incredible bank of sparkling drums, cymbals, bells, marimbas and vibraphones, gongs and Japanese barrel drums, the Hamburg band present a show that sparkles with passion and dynamism, crossing over from classical music to new music, rock, jazz and drum'n'bass with effortless ease.
