Some pictures from yesterday’s fourth of the six competitive rounds of the BMW Welt Jazz Awards in Munich, with Swiss guitarist Franz Hellmüller, and Italians bassist Stefano Risso and drummer Marco Zanoli. This was a restrained affair, with more than a few evocative allusions to the masters of modern guitar atmospherics Pat Metheny and Bill Frisell. But as a place of refuge from the unpleasant dankness of the weather outside, their welcoming ambient vibe had a good deal going for it.
