About

Austrian jazz pianist Rudi Wilfer is one of the great jazz minds of our time, who has had the privilege of playing with many of the greatest international jazz legends. With "Over the Rainbow", Wilfer now releases the logical sequel to his previous recording "Somewhere". Featuring new and very personal interpretations of standards like Basin Street Blues, The Shadow of Your Smile, Orbit, Baby Steps as a witty arrangement of John Coltrane's Giant Steps, or My Romance, Wilfer teaches his audience the meaning of silence and the space between the sounds. This album is a meditative, almost Buddhist statement from this extraordinary Austrian musician, and, focusing on his lyrical, romantic playing style, also a homage to Bill Evans, one of the most important and influential pianists of modern jazz, whom Wilfer got to know in the popular jazz club Village Vanguard in New York in 1979.
