Born in Paris, raised in Vienna, resident in Ibiza, saxophonist and composer
Muriel Grossmann
embodies the borderless, pan-continental energies of contemporary European jazz. Her music emerges from the lineage of European jazz that's absorbed the progressive music of
Coltrane
,
Dolphy
, and
Sanders
. Today, she cites players such as
Illinois Jacquet
and
Lester Young
in the same breath as the masters of the avant-garde, and her playing marries the directness and eloquence of the older generation with the questing, spiritualized playing epitomized by Coltrane. The roster of musicians she has played with is long, and includes veteran European avant-gardists including
Joachim
and
Rolf Kühn
,
Wolfgang Reisinger
and
Thomas Heidepriem
, and she works tirelessly with contemporary groups and big bands across the continent. Since her first recordings in the early 2000s, Grossmann has released a dozen albums as leader, featuring sounds ranging from hard-swinging modernist jams to free improvisation, expansive spiritual work to rhythm-focused Afrocentrism. But at the center of her work is a thread of pure and heartfelt spiritual music in the modal tradition defined by Coltrane and close collaborators like Pharoah Sanders and
Alice Coltrane
. You can't play this music successfully if you don't mean it; like the music of her contemporary
Nat Birchall
, Grossmann's engagement with the Coltrane tradition is sincere and deep. Her music resonates within the tradition; more than just a style, it adds a new chapter to the story of modal and spiritual jazz in Europe. This Jazzman set draws a selection from her 2016 album
Natural Time
("Your Pace", "Peace For All") and from 2017's
Momentum
("Elevation", "Chant", and "Rising"). Featuring her regular quartet of
Radomir Milojkovic
(guitar),
Uros Stamenkovic
(drums), and
Gina Schwarz
(bass), the music on
Elevation
is pure sound, soul and spirit! LP only with thick Tip-On sleeve; includes download card.
