about

It seems like a silent patching up, like dancing flames, when a circling motive spins out of the initial, at first meager texture, it peels itself out like the physical equation of a group dynamic – with constantly changing variables. It takes a while until the small power struggles are fought out. Only then the illusionless melody appears in the tenor saxophone and is met by approval – a conversation begins. We hear "It Ain't Necessarily So", a song that isn't just a cheeky exposition of the Bible as a nice collection of fairy tales, but can also be understood as a parable of all our life lies with which we paper our existence. The arrangement deprives Gershwin's song of its 4/4 time foundation and shifts it to a 5/4 time, which is already broken up from the bridge onwards. What remains is a mosaic composed of the few things we declare to be truths in order to survive.
