Glawischnig, Hans - Jahira

It is fascinating to hear how musicians arrive at certain milestones in their musical development. Bassist Hans Glawischnig’s study of acoustic bass guitar began while touring with the legendary Ray Barretto, a situation where a double bass was logistically impossible and the electric bass disfavored. Glawischnig’s new CD Jahira (Sunnyside, 2012) features his acoustic bass guitar in a trio format alongside two extremely talented up and coming New York musicians, saxophonist Samir Zarif and drummer Eric Doob. The trio plays a combination of Glawischnig originals and a handful of esoteric, jazz genre spanning covers, hinting at the group’s credo (hidden in the album title): “jazz history roundabout.” Musicians:
Hans Glawischnig (acoustic bass), Samir Zarif (tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone), Eric Dobb (drums)
