Product Description
Dachau is the follow-up to the Michael Musillami Trio's 2003 debut, Beijing. The disc takes its name from the Musillami-penned title track, inspired by the irony that a city with such a disturbing past could be the site of one of the trio's most transcendent and life-affirming performances.

"From the first note we played in Dachau, the trio was elevated to a new level and seemed to mature with each measure," recounts Musillami to music journalist Ed Hazell in the liner notes. "We have always trusted each other musically, but there was a new level of courage simmering on the bandstand."

Hazell goes on to write, "From the evidence of this CD, that's no idle claim; this recording is a clear step forward from Beijing, the trio's first. They are as confident and swinging as ever, with the same beautifully balanced ensemble work and adventurous soloing. But there's something more—a greater sense of daring and a greater sense of support among the musicians. These two characteristics feed off each other and encourage a joyful testing of limits. You can hear the deep communication and the excitement of discovery from the very first notes."
