Robertson/ Dell/ Ramond/ Kugel “Blue Transient”
Nemu Records
The history of modern music is also the history of its innovators. One might say that Herb Robertson was one of the most radical explorers of timing, choice and placement of note and of sonic possibilities on the trumpet. When the longstanding trio Dell Ramond Kugel embarked on a tour with Robertson on March 2024, they could not now that it was his last. In this respect, this recording is not only an adventure in experimental music, transatlantically bridging and relating different yet highly complementing approaches to musicmaking and capturing the strong plasticity of this exclusive encounter. The double CD at hand is also a testimony to Herb Robertson’s important contribution to modern music.
