German writer/ photographer Ralf Dombrowski is just back from the annual Luxembourg Jazz Meeting with photos and a quick pick of his highlights. He writes:
The artist who caught the attention above all at the Luxembourg Jazz Meeting was Pascal Schumacher, (photo above) the leading vibraphonist throughout Europe at the moment.

Schumacher was at the festival a pair of extremely strong projects – a quartet, and also a trio with Francesco Tristano (photo above) and Bachar Khalife.

A number of musicians appeared in different contexts, such as saxophonist Maxime Bender, drummer Paul Fox (pictured above with Luxembourg/Portuguese singer Marly Marques) and pianist/drummer Jérome Klein.

There was an outstandingly subtle quartet with pianist Michel Reis, playing with Niels Klein, Robert Landfermann, Jonas Burgwinkel). Also worthy of a mention are the are the trio of Pit Dahm.

Also on the bill were the interesting and well-matched trio of the Luxembourg-born saxophonist Roby Glod with Andy Champion and Mark Sanders (photo above). Three like-minded very individual players seem to have found each other. Champion was powerful and possessed, following his own imperatives, while Sanders gave a very coercive pulse, constantly in close, attentive communication with the others, and Glod’s free-flowing saxophone playing definitely held the listener’s interest.
