Charig, Fischer, Wolf ‎– Free Music On A Summer Evening (Sporeprint 2013)

The trio Charig / Wolf / Fischer had its premiere early in 2010 in Wiesbaden, playing a short 20-minute set. The music on this recording documents the 2nd time this trio played together. I recorded it myself in the most simple way, in the first place to have a reference for myself. I don't know why the recording turned out so transparent and well-balanced - maybe because it's done open air. Anyway at some point in 2013 all three of us revisited the recorded material, and agreed we wanted some of it released. Mark Charig started recording in the late 60s and is present on about 80 records, mostly as a reliable and inspiring "musicians' musician". Looks like this is the first release since some 30 years with him in a leading role as main soloist.
Mark Charig: cornet, alto horn
Georg Wolf: bass
