"On Kyoto Mon Amour dominates the composure and purity. Splendid how Schaefer & Co. builds a very own world of sounds in which these traditional instruments like koto play a role."

Eric Schaefer is much more than just a drummer who accompanies: he is an instigator, a composer and a creator. One critic called him the “central shining star of the German jazz scene.” He certainly brings wide-ranging inspiration to it. The music, philosophy and religion of Asia, and especially Japan have fascinated him for a long time, and he has undertaken several journeys of study there. In “Kyoto mon Amour” this passion is now documented on record. With Japanese musicians, he takes on the challenge of building bridges between Japanese and western music.
On Kyoto Mon Amour dominates the composure and purity. Splendid how Schaefer & Co. builds a very own world of sounds in which these traditional instruments like koto play a role.

Besides a fantastic drummer, Schaefer is also someone who works well to connect his music to a conceptual point of departure.
