Our Take

Swiss saxophonist Christoph Erb, Chicago-based pianist Jim Baker, and drummer Frank Rosaly join forces on their latest album "...Don't Buy Him A Parrot..." and it's a wild ride from start to finish.

Erb's saxophone skills are on full display, weaving in and out of Baker's intricate piano melodies with a sense of playful chaos. The dynamic between the two musicians is electric, with Baker's unpredictable chord changes keeping listeners on their toes.

Rosaly's drumming serves as the backbone of the album, providing a steady heartbeat for the experimental soundscape created by Erb and Baker. His rhythms are both driving and nuanced, adding a sense of urgency to the music.

The trio's chemistry is undeniable, with each musician feeding off the energy of the others to create something truly special. From the frenetic energy of tracks like "Parrot Party" to the haunting beauty of "Feathers in the Wind," "...Don't Buy Him A Parrot..." is a rollercoaster of emotions.

Overall, this album is a must-listen for fans of avant-garde jazz and experimental music. Erb, Baker, and Rosaly have created something truly unique and exciting, and it's a joy to experience their musical journey. Jam-packed with quirky charm and infectious energy, this album is a playful masterpiece that demands your attention.

About the artist

Christoph Erb/Jim Baker/Frank Rosaly

Christoph Erb, Jim Baker, and Frank Rosaly may sound like the names of your neighbour's book club, but make no mistake, this trio is anything but your average Sunday afternoon discussion group. Hailing from the windy city of Chicago, these three music maestros have been causing a stir in the avant-garde jazz scene for years. Saxophonist Christoph Erb is a force to be reckoned with, his bold and fearless playing style is like a sonic rollercoaster ride, taking listeners on a journey through the outer realms of jazz improvisation. Accompanying him on the keys is Jim Baker, whose experimental approach to the piano will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about the instrument. And last but not least, we have Frank Rosaly on drums, whose complex and intricate rhythms tie the whole ensemble together like a beautifully chaotic bow. Together, Erb, Baker, and Rosaly create a musical experience like no other, effortlessly blending free jazz, avant-garde, and experimental sounds into a mind-bending sonic cocktail that will leave you both exhilarated and slightly disoriented. Their live performances are an electrifying display of talent and creativity, with each member pushing the boundaries of their respective instruments to the absolute limit. So, if you're looking for a musical experience that will challenge your preconceptions and leave you in awe, look no further than Christoph Erb, Jim Baker, and Frank Rosaly. You may never look at your neighbour's book club the same way again.
