RUF DER HEIMAT Play, play, play, play 1992 - the founding. There are people who play soul or blues - the quartet plays RUF DER HEIMAT. Not the form, but the musicians and their being are the quintessence - the form adapts. Every note, a statement. It's about creativity and improvisation. 1992 is the time. 30 years after the fall of the wall, much has changed in Germany. The mood is completely different. It is no longer a time of change and exploration, and now uncertainty and radicalisation dominate. What has remained of the Heimat? Of its original idea. Two members are no longer there - a new line-up is playing. The music sounds different, but remains just as brilliant. Polyphonic melodies and rhythms characterize the sound. Jazz becomes even more of a home. The metamorphosis succeeds! The music fits into the new era. "Thewes is not merely a replacement for the free-jazz veteran, but infuses the music with a completely new dynamic with his trombone." Wolf Kampmann, Jazzthing 2018 | "The men have the groove and the blues." Frankische Nachrichten What could be more obvious now than a new CD. It's time. "Ruf der Heimat" was founded in 1992, initially with Ernst-Ludwig Petrowsky as the second saxophonists, then for a few years reinforced with Peter Brotzmann, or again and again in the extended formation with Petrowsky and Heinz Sauer. In between also tours with Charles Gayle, Roy Campbell, Johannes Bauer and Olaf Rupp.
