"“... unusual sounds, clear themes, complex grooves: Vibraphonist Franz
Bauer’s debut CD showcases his love for experimentation..."
Percussion Creativ Newsletter:
"With the CD "Plüschtier", former Munich vibraphonist Franz
Bauer who now lives in Berlin presents his quintet project. The band members
wrote all of the compositions. The music is situated between modern jazz,
fusion, free improvisation and contemporary music. An impressive work that
will hopefully be followed by many more.”"
