The two internationally acclaimed Austrian musicians Wolfgang Muthspiel (guitar) and Mario Rom (trumpet) meet at OPEN JAZZ VIENNA in a finely balanced duo that thrives on musical dialogue. Their long-standing collaboration – including in the Wolfgang Muthspiel Chamber Trio – opens up a music that combines precision with a spirit of discovery. Muthspiel's nuanced, open playing creates spaces in which Rom's trumpet can unfold its melodic depth and tonal richness. Although the musicians are among the most virtuosic instrumentalists of their generation, this duo performance never becomes an end in itself. Rather, a concentrated, intimate music emerges, breathing with the dialogue between the two always taking center stage and becoming the central, deeply moving event.
