"CD / LP - Release Double Feature - BOTTER / Schmids Huhn"

Ango Teaser

With "Ango" Botter present their debut album and thus a status report of their bandwork of the last 3 years. Basis of all experiments are the original compositions of Julian Ritter and Dierk Peters, which the band uses to do whatever come to their mind. With every new interpretation grooves are put together in a new way, sounds are freshly combined and tension curves are completely opened to negotiation. Even sudden changes in dynamics or tempos are not prohibited in their quest for contemporary and comprehensible, yet  communicative and experimental music. 


Julian Ritter – Altosaxophone & Bassclarinet
Dierk Peters – Vibraphone

Dominik Mahnig - Drums


„Botter is a fantastic new collaborative jazz ensemble from Cologne, Germany. The four members, still in their twenties, met at music conservatory. Rather than focus on a leader-based ensemble, they have emphasized the importance of establishing group unity. It is apparent that their bond has created a core musical identity which can only be nurtured by dedication, long hours of practice and trust within the ensemble. While their compositions can be complex, the members of Botter find a unique way to create ease and comfort within this complexity and are able to seamlessly integrate compositions and improvisations. As a keen supporter of their group approach, I look forward to hearing how Botter will expand and develop over time. This first album presents a powerful imprint for the great achievements they will have moving forward.“
