"Blues! Nothing but the blues! – that´s what it´s all about on the new album by „Henning Sieverts Symmethree“.
Since 2011 (and on three albums to date), Henning Sieverts (bass, cello, composition) Nils Wogram (trombone) and Ronny Graupe (7-string guitar) are exploring the shimmering beauties of symmetry. This time, with album no.4, it´s all about the power of three chords and twelve bars.
But is it really always three and twelve? No! Sometimes, „Henning Sieverts Symmethree“ cuts off bar by bar – adding them again at the end („Salami Blues“ or „Dominant Diminishing“). Playing constantly with metric, melodic and harmonic ideas , without losing the archaic power of the blues.
This trio „Henning Sieverts Symmethree“ has never been more catchy!
