Nils Wogram & Joe Sachse - Freies Geröll (2022) [Hi-Res]

In the duo, the individual shows himself as if under a magnifying glass. Among musicians, the saying goes, "Play in a duo and I'll tell you who you are."

Nils Wogram has always emphasized how strongly he comes from the jazz tradition - with all the extensions and ramifications of expression. This can be felt, sometimes more strongly, sometimes more sublimely, in all his groups and playing constellations

The basic swinging spirit is immanent in the dialogue with Joe Sachse, also the blues feeling in a very broad sense. This duo and its groove resemble a stroke of luck. Helmut 'Joe' Sachse, almost a quarter of a century older than Nils Wogram, grew up in the GDR and had to find his own way to jazz against all odds - from dance and rock music to free playing and on to a distinctive language on the instrument. Nils Wogram has grown into an established jazz scene and has made his own mark both as an instrumentalist and with a whole series of bands that have worked together over the long term. What fascinates Joe about Nils is versality: "He can play anything." And Nils raves about Joe Sachse's self-sufficient musicality: "a very rare, precious commodity."
