Russ Johnson, Christian Weber, Dieter Ulrich - To Walk On Eggshells

2025

Christian Weber said in an interview for “Jazz’N’More": No matter how I move along the timeline, my attention is focused on what is to come. At the same time, I always keep in mind what happened before, without analyzing. This way, I avoid the improvisation becoming arbitrary. Both arbitrary openness and narrow restriction, neither suits me." And therein lies the whole secret of this record and ultimately the definition of great art: it is the ability of a musician to have control over space and time. To juggle both with the existing and the newly conceived. The art, according to Dürrenmatt, of exploring all possibilities and allowing them to emerge as reality in ever-new variations. Declaring the timeline as one's playground and letting past, present, and future resonate simultaneously. Just like on "To Walk on Eggshells".
