about

Momentaufnahme (Snapshot)


Time is one of our world’s strangest phenomena: it has both physical size as well as being a philosophical construct, measurable by fine apparatus, yet barely captured by human experience. Frederik Köster has alsways been fascinated by „time“, by mind games such as „Minority Report“ as well as by the traces of contemporary history reaching up to our present.


Even his quartet’s debut was programmatically named „Constantly Moving“ and documented the first years of the band after it was founded in 2003. On the follow-up album “Zeichen der Zeit” Signs of Time (2009) the Frederik Köster Quartet adopted a position of its own using an outspoken mixture of honest rock guitar and elastic jazz trumpet, delightful improvisation and songwriter storyteller qualities. “This is the band as it sounds today and it includes all our influences, the signs of the present times and the past times”, the bandleader explains. And the signs of the times are looking good for Frederik Köster. In 2009 he received - as a soloist as well as his quartet - the New German Jazz Award, and in 2010 the ECHO and the WDR Jazz Awards. The third album of the band now follows, developed as a constant “work in progress”: “Momentaufnahme (Snapshot)”.
