About Me

······························ ······························ ······························ ··

"FOP simply stands for Forms Of Plasticity, and FipFop is the title of the perhaps most important and certainly the most compelling austrian jazz album of the year. these young musicians, who are also truly young at heart, create a soft collision between art and commercialism, between jazz and, well, i-wouldn’t-necessarily-call-that-jazz (but what the hell really is jazz?), between history and a vision of the future. FOP twists, bends, and shapes the musical material with surprising agility.

FipFop? simply put, it’s tops!"

[walter groebchen / monkeymusic ]
