About the album

Gauthier’s band, The Jeff Gauthier Goatette (named after his childhood nickname in a spectacular lapse of judgment) will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2012 with its core members. Guitarist Nels Cline and drummer Alex Cline have worked in ensembles with Gauthier for over 30 years. Pianist/keyboardist David Witham joined Gauthier’s group in 1992 along with bassist Eric von Essen. After von Essen passed away in 1998, bassist Joel Hamilton joined the band. Trumpet player John Fumo, the most recent member of the Goatette, worked with Gauthier for several years and recorded 3 albums with Steuart Liebig’s Quartetto Stig.
Jeff Gauthier ist nicht nur Violinist und Komponist, er betreibt sein eigenes Label und Agentur. Und auch als Produzent hat er seine Meriten verdient (viele Jahre war er 'Rising Star' bei Down Beat als Produzent, aber auch als Violinist). Daneben Auftritte als Sidemen, u.a. bei ECM. Mit seiner Band 'Goatette' hat er bereits ein halbes Dutzend Alben aufgenommen - in 20 Jahren seit Gründung des Ensembles. Mit Nels und Alex Cline verbindet ihn gar eine 30jährige gemeinsame Geschichte. Dass hier äußerst kongruent gemeinsame Räume geschaffen werden, versteht sich von selbst. Die Musik hat sich noch nie von einer Kategorie vereinnahmen lassen - Electronic, rockige Rhythmen, freie Improvisationen, alles fügt sich zu einem unvergleichlichen Sound.
