With Live in Bangalore, Cologne-based drummer and composer Jo Beyer presents the third album of his quartet - a thrilling live document captured at the renowned Windmills in the South Indian metropolis of Bangalore.
Five high-energy tracks bursting with playfulness, power, and tour-de-force moments showcase the band in peak form. Recorded at the end of an intense India tour, the album captures an evening where everything aligned: a perfectly attuned ensemble, world-class acoustics, and an audience fully swept away. While all tracks exist in studio versions, here they have audibly matured - shaped by years of playing together, expanded improvisations, and radical interaction. A particularly striking feature is the unconventional line-up without bass, creating a distinctive and rhythmically powerful sound.
With pianist Felix Elsner on board, Beyer propels the quartet to an entirely new level - powerful, uncompromising, and full of surprises.
