About the album

Francis Drake was a colorful figure of the 16th century. He was a sailor from his young days, soon became a buccaneer and then an admiral in the Royal English Navy, who set the foundation for England's rise to become a naval power with victories against the Spanish armada. In the meantime, he was also involved in plundering and sailed around the world. The trio named itself after this legendary Francis Drake for a good reason. Their music is an adventurous journey across the continents of sounds, rhythms, melodies and tones. They stop time and again, carry off new material and integrate it into what they already have. No borders hinder them, and no authority can stop them. They navigate with the map of jazz as orientation, but they are always open to course corrections. Engaging melody lines of the guitar or saxophone, solid bass foundation and the cleanest grooves. You don't miss percussion at any time; to the contrary, it would only interfere with these refined and self-driving structures. Only one overwhelming impression remains at the end of the journey through 11 pieces: this is how beautiful the (music) world can be!
  • Francis Drake was een kleurrijk figuur uit de 16e eeuw, zeeman bij de Royal English Navy. Hij maakte deel uit van in de overwinningen tegen de Spaanse Armada, maar had ook zijn aandeel in plunderingen en piraterij
  • Dit trio vernoemde zich naar de legendarische Francis Drake, omdat hun muziek net zo avontuurlijk is: de muziek maakt een reis via alle continenten van klank, ritme, melodie en tonen
  • Muziek zonder grenzen, genavigeerd met een jazz-kaart
  • Opwindende melodielijnen van de gitaar of saxofoon, een sterke bas en perfecte grooves, zo overweldigend dat je de percussie nergens mist
Francis Drake war eine schillernde Gestalt des 16. Jahrhunderts: von klein auf Seefahrer, bald schon Freibeuter, dann wieder Admiral der k�niglichen englischen Armee, der mit Erfolgen �ber die spanische Armada den Aufstieg Englands zur Seemacht begr�ndete. Das Trio benannte sich mit guten Gr�nden nach diesem legend�ren Francis Drake. Ihre Musik ist eine abenteuerliche Reise durch die Kontinente der Sounds, Rhythmen, Melodien und Kl�nge. Einnehmende Melodielinien der Gitarre oder des Saxophons, solides Bassfundament, sauberste Grooves. Am Ende einer Reise durch 11 Titel bleibt nur ein �berw�ltigender Eindruck: so sch�n kann die (Musik-)Welt sein...

Max von Mosch has already attracted a lot of attention with his band "max.bab" founded in 1999. His album "inner orbit" was recently released by ACT Music. Jazz thing wrote about him that he produces a "solid, immediately identifiable sound and [has] unlimited imagination", and the Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote that he is a "stroke of luck for German jazz." Max von Mosch has working on a Ph.D. at the New England Conservatory in Boston since 2008. And he also recently recorded another album in New York with his compositions and participation of Gene Jackson, Robin Eubanks and Xavier Davis, among others. Max Frankl, former student of Wolfgang Muthspiel and Kurt Rosenwinkel, had his debut in the series “Jazz thing Next Generation". He succeeded in creating a smash hit right at the start with "Sturmvogel". The CD "is one of the best released for jazz guitar over the past years in Europe" (Gitarre & Bass), "an impressive business card, which makes you curious about everything that he will produce .... in the future" (Jazzthetik). Successful tours and festival performances (e.g., as member of the "European Jazz Orchestra") are now finally being followed by a new document of this exceptional, young guitarist. The third link is no one less than Henning Sieverts, who has had an impressive career that he topped off with receipt of the "Echo Jazz" award in 2010 as the best German bassist. He has lived in Munich, Berlin and New York, taught at international workshops and played with musicians such as Nils Wogram, Phil Woods, Till Brönner, Benny Bailey, Marc Copland and many more. He can be heard as a leader and sideman on dozens of CDs.
