[re:jazz]

Bio:

..
Matthias Vogt, a trained jazz musician recording for INFRACom! also under the name of Motorcitysoul in the electronic music context, was entrusted with the task of arranging a reinterpretation of selected pieces from the past 10 years of the INFRACom! label's history, with Mr. Vogt's jazz trio. [re:jazz] was born as the anniversary album of INFRACOM!, and the release of catalogue number 100 for the label, back in October 2002. The Method: Reverse Engineering - Bass, Piano, Percussion. The instrumental combination of the traditional trio - which first arose in a club environment - appears to us by far the best suited for a presentation of contemporary club music compositions. They intend to work entirely without special electronic effects, relying solely upon the skills of the musicians and recording technicians. In so doing, they wish to include several instrumentalists and vocalists whose work has inspired them, and whose talent they appreciate. Among them are personalities like Till Brönner, Nils Petter Molvaer, Nathan Haynes, Erik Truffaz, Jhelisa Anderson, Lisa Bassenge, Victoria Tolstoi, Ultra Naté and many others. We all have been utterly convinced that the results will be surprising in many ways. The first release "INFRACom! pres. [re:jazz]" was very well archived and soon people asked for live shows. Matthias took the chance and formed a group out of seven musician who took part in the recording session for a live interpretation of the record. By public demand Matthias and the band started to think about how they can continue this wonderful project and meanwhile they have recorded two more album (Point of view and Expansion). In 2008 they are releasing their first live album recorded at the Motion Blue Club in yokohama / Japan, including a dvd documentary by Markus Bader. A brand new album by re:jazz is also in he pipeline for the end of the year.
