"Gravity". A term for which dictionaries provide a whole range of translation options. These include Gravity, Attraction, Depth, and Solemnity. They all describe the album title by Martin Wind featuring Peter Weniger and Jonas Burgwinkel perfectly - and on very different levels, explains bassist and bandleader Martin Wind. “Musically, the double bass forms the center of every ensemble. It is its foundation, in which the threads converge rhythmically and harmoniously. Comparable to the sun, which holds our planetary system together with its gravity.” At the same time, “Gravity” also works on a personal level. “There are people and places that you are drawn to. Hamburg for example. For me, the metropolis on the Elbe is my starting point and way station when I'm traveling between the USA and Germany," explains Wind, who has lived in Teaneck/New Jersey since the late 1990s. There is also a very special attraction between the members of the trio.
