"As Time Goes By"… that was the name of one of the previous Joe Haider albums, released in 2020. Time continues to treat the German pianist, composer and arranger from Switzerland well. "I have been at the forefront of jazz since 1958. In other words, for 66 years,“ Haider stated objectively. He then added with short laugh: “Let someone else try to duplicate that!” The fact that he turned 88 at the beginning of this year is not heard in any sense on his latest album, which is thoroughly fresh and with its own sound… apart from the fact that you can feel the overwhelming amount of experience that resonates in the music and piano playing.
“I have never made compromises. I still consistently make my music, and I have always developed further doing this." Many stages, many stations of Haider are documented on well over 30 albums. It is really astonishing that his creative power has not diminished in recent times. To the contrary: while "Rosalie's Dream" is being released and celebrated with a tour, he already has plans for a Miles Davis project. Recent releases include a tribute to the classic Bill Evans trio and a special Slide Hampton project with an extensive lineup. Music keeps the passionate jazz man constantly on the move – and how!
With "Rosalie's Dream", recorded a few days after his 88th birthday in Zurich, Joe Haider builds on previous productions with string quartet, this time in combination with one of his current trio lineups. Bassist Lorenz Beyeler and drummer Tobias Friedli are in their mid-40s, almost half the age of the leader. The Amigern String Quartet was recommended to him by a trusted source. After a concert visit, it was clear: the perfect choice. Even the opening arrangement of "Caravan" underlines this realization. There is the supple set sound, but there is also the wonderful lead voice of cellist Valentina Velkova and the inspired solo of first violinist Vincent Millo.......
