Stefano Scodanibbio & Friends, Stuttgart Oct 2009

Live improvisation from an Open_Music concert called "Spannungsfeld Komposition-Improvisation (Between composition and improvisation)" in the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart on the 15th of October 2009, where Stefano Scodanibbio was our guest as bassist/composer/conductor for the annual Open_Music event. Stefano asked me several weeks later when he heard the recording if he could use it on a CD he was planning and we agreed - so I assume he would not object to my posting it. When I heard this morning that this marvelous man, brilliant musician and dear friend of ours had died I spontaneously decided to post this fond memory of the last time we improvised together. The world already misses you, Stefano! What a special person you were! - Scott Roller Stefano Scodanibbio, contrabass + Ulrike Stortz, violin / Scott Roller, cello / Jürgen Kruse, piano / Albrecht Imbescheid, bass flute / Thomas Reil, bass clarinet / Michael Kiedaisch, percussion
