“The clairvoyance and sensitivity of Andreas, James and Max are the basis of our way of playing.” "It's as if I can just plunge into a space when we play together," the saxophonist stated happily. Together with Birgitta Flick, this results in fundamental, solid unity. "Max and James are closely attuned to each other’s playing," band leader Birgitta Flick stated in appreciation of the two, "and that benefits the band." Andreas Schmidt has been active in the German jazz scene for so long that he has already played or composed for a number of musicians: from Lisa Bassenge and Aki Takase to Lee Konitz and Rudi Mahall to Katja Riemann and Dave Liebman. Max Andrzejewski has been one of the active members of the Berlin scene for years and also plays in Duo Training with the saxophonist Johannes Schleiermacher and the chamber music ensemble Stemeseder/Andrzejewski light/tied in addition to his large ensemble Hütte as well as having received numerous orders for compositions. Banner comes from England, but lives in Berlin and is known for his own projects such as Usine, the duo with Stephanie Lamprea or the duo Practically Minded with Declan Forde. With the pianist Andreas Schmidt, the bassist James Banner and the drummer Max Andrzejewski, Flick has fellow musicians on board who are extremely subtle and sensitive. This familiarity, which is particularly important for a group that relies so heavily on improvisation, is also heard on the new, fourth album “Miniatures and Fragments” from the Birgitta Flick Quartet. The quartet of the Berlin saxophonist and composer Birgitta Flick is a band with a unique magic that has been playing together for 10 years.
