‘Henning Sieverts Symmethree: Blues! ’Blues! Nothing but the blues!-that’s what it’s all about on the new album by ‘Henning Sieverts Symmethree’. Since 2011 (and on three albums to date), Henning Sieverts (bass, cello, composition) Nils Wogram (trombone) and Ronny Graupe (7-string guitar) are exploring the shimmering beauties of symmetry. This time, with album no.4, it’s all about the power of three chords and twelve bars. But is it really always three and twelve? No! Sometimes, ‘Henning Sieverts Symmethree’ cuts off bar by bar -adding them again at the end (‘Salami Blues’ or ‘DominantDiminishing’).Playing constantly with metric, melodic and harmonic ideas, without losing the archaic power of the blues. This trio ‘Henning Sieverts Symmethree’ has never been more catchy! Henning Sieverts has years of work with top international players, over 160 CDsand tours on six continents to his credit. His long list of awards includesthe prestigious ECHO Jazz, the 1st prize at ‘International Society of Bassists’ competition, and -two times -the New German Jazz Award. With his masterful technique, trombonist Nils Wogram stands at the fore front of contemporary players. He has won the Germane Jazzpreis and the Albert-Mangelsdorff-Award. A truly personal player on his 7-string guitar, Ronny Graupe has won the Germane Jazzpreis and is highly acclaimed in the European scene. The unusual instrumentation of ‘Henning Sieverts Symmethree’ with trombone. guitar and bass/cello allows for a delightful blend of sound due to the constantly changing allocation of responsibilities between melody, harmony and bass function. It’s a truly grass-roots inspired musical experience. Sieverts emphasizes: ‘We’ve been playing together since 2011-that’s a lot of time to grow together and to grow close. Every single concert is an adventure of great fun, surprising equally the audience and ourselves!’
