Michael Riessler // Jack DeJohnette Group

Michael Riessler is a free spirit who, over the years, has developed a unique musical language. His works defy common terms like jazz/rock, solo/collective play, composition/ improvisation. As exceptional as his style is the line-up of this ensemble, with barrel-organ virtuoso Pierre Charial providing a main pivot.
