Laura Müller

Werner Müller (1920-1998) was an orchestra conductor and popular music arranger during the 1950s and 1960s. In 1946 Müller joined the orchestra of Kurt Widmann, one of the most successful bands in Berlin. In 1949 Müller, age 30, started his musical activities in radio at the RIAS Berlin. He was concertmaster for RIAS radio and of Hans-Georg Arlt Tanzorchesters with 18 radio channels. After almost two decades in Berlin, he moved to Cologne, where he conducted performances of the WDR orchestra on radio and television.
He also contributed numerous albums to London's Phase Four label, the longest-running of the Space Age Bachelor Pad series.

Weightlessly light and at the same time grounded: that's how the music sounds on the new album from the "Bassface Swing Trio". This trio has never been heard in such a relaxed and airy arrangement. Bassist Jan-Philippe Wadle plucks cloud-soft bass lines, Florian Hermann plays both gripping and restrained on his drums and Thilo Wagner shows himself to be a lyrical pianist on the noble Fazioli grand piano.
