“Slow Migration” is the name of the new band project of saxophonist and composer Matthias Petzold. Petzold’s compositions are groove-oriented and a little more playful than usual. They conjure up images of storks, tortoises, wandering kings, intergalactic journeys, leaps into other planes of time and much more.
The band’s front line of trumpet, saxophone/clarinet and cello sounds unusual and many-layered. The band brings together musicians of different generations, who combine into a dynamic and stylistically diverse unit. Each member brings his own sound and style of improvising to the compositions.
