About the Album

'Closing The Chapter' is the second single announcing drummer and composer Peter Gall’s upcoming album 'Love Avatar', to be released by Compost Records on 27th of September ’24. The nostalgic 'Closing The Chapter' is actually the prototype of a love song and, according to Gall, perhaps the most emotional and personal piece on the album, which he put down on paper at the very last minute. "When I listened to it again alone in the studio late at night, the guys' solos brought tears to my eyes," he says, so moved by his colleagues' interpretations. From Matthias Pichler's lyrical bass solo to Rainer Böhm's masterfully sparkling grand piano, the journey reaches its climax in Wanja Slavin's synth eruption, before the perfect soundtrack for a wanderlust road trip with captivating guitar comping and mantric beat suddenly transforms into an absolute trance state - beautifully colored by Wanja Slavin's live synth jam. About Peter Gall: Six years have passed since Peter Gall's sensational debut album "Paradox Dreambox" saw the light of day. His diverse sideman work has sharpened his eye for the big musical picture during this time - whether as a stylistically confident accompanist for world-famous groups such as New York Voices or Take 6, playing classical jazz with the NDR Big Band or as the driving force behind the drums of the spiritual jazz group Web Web, including intensive work with its producers Roberto Di Gioia and Max Herre. Gall is now drumming in the first ranks of the German jazz scene and is also causing a stir internationally. "A new milestone from my favorite jazz drummer Peter Gall. An album of great energetic, atmospheric and playful density. Ten songs, ten stories." Max Herre
