Schüller

I came near to being drowned hearing this music a second time: I dived in and went under water in the wild stream of the audible. I had quickly forgotten to breath, to open my eyes and to confront the everyday life - as deeply and willingly as I found myself swimming in the music. After an hour the CD was finished and I came up to air. May be it was just as well that the plumbers next door began to make noise again. I had to rouse myself from hearing, to drive away the echoing sounds. "Memories of Lost Tomorrows" the opener of the CD already contains several nuances and moods.

George Schuller is one of those drummers who can drive a band with power and finesse, blending in to an ensemble in such a way that does not call undue attention to him but makes one realize how important he is to the music. Having seen him play in concert spaces and performance venues, his strength is that he listens, interacts and creates without missing a beat.
