| Christian Lillinger -"Grund"  A subtle-sounding and brilliant performer, drummer Christian Lillinger is a bandleader with a finely worked sense of composition. His band, Grund (ground), includes high-class colleagues pianist Achim Kaufmann, vibraphonist Christopher Dell, and bassist Robert Landfermann. Their first PIROUET CD is also named Grund, and it captivates with its very personal poesy.Christian Lillinger is a whirlwind. When he sits behind the drums, this tall, thin musician with the rockabilly coif is in seemingly constant motion, playing with incredible precision. The music is refined ferocity; at one moment, specifically choreographed explosions, at the next, such gracefully delicate and gradual tones, that it approaches silence. On this Pirouet CD, Lillinger presents his band Grund playing his own compositions. The album is also called Grund, and it offers a tumult of surprises.
