By Dierk Peters

Label: Tangible
Released: 2019

He intensively worked on the harmonic concept and explored how individual roles can be redefined. The view of the band's cast suggests, that Dierk Peters takes unconventional paths on Ambrosia. With his sextet, the award-winning vibraphonist and composer has developed a multifaceted musical language that unites song- like and interesting melodies, diverse harmonies and changing atmospheric shades. Peters understands Ambrosia as a metaphor for a music that is inspiration and food for the human soul. Certainly a high standard, which he masters confidently.
