Out Of The White

MARTIN FABRICIUS TRIO

Out of the White, the Martin Fabricius Trio's spectacular album, is now being reissued by Berthold records. Martin Fabricius - vibraphone, Christian Hougaard - bass and Jacob Hatholt - drums are joined by guests Mathias Heise - harmonica and Neff Irizzary - guitar. According to "All About Jazz" the result is, "very refreshing and joyous, with excitement created without pyrotechnics." "The pieces were written over three of four years," says Martin Fabricius. "They are little stories, like small movies. An earlier recording of the track Now You See It, Now You Don't was used by the artist who designed the original cover. He would put on the music and draw. That inspired me to write something, a little pop song with a lyric to it, which was like the unborn drawing calling to the artist - 'please create me, please bring me out of the white'. It became a hook line which developed into an instrumental piece. A whole scene can play out in a piece. It can be small like the melancholia that accompanies the first cold wind of autumn. It can be moving like the great feeling of homecoming when you catch up with old friends. Or it can be dramatic like when I found myself on our staircase listening through flames, smoke, and screaming sirens for signs of life in my neighbor's apartment."
