Artist History GeorgetowN developed out of a classical jazz trio consisting of upright bass, piano and drums. But soon they decided to go in a different direction than just playing the same "real book" (the "bible" of all jazz musicians) songs over and over. The first idea was obviously to write some new material. While using a Computer as a recording tool they inevitably began playing around with samples and soundscapes till the convinced "jazz-purists" even fell in love with pop-music again. Influenced by the acid and nujazz movement they started perceiving jazz more and more as rhythm and form rather than the orthodox idea of jazz being merely improvisation. Additionally they now try to combine their still beloved "traditional" jazz influences with the amazing possibilties of todays computer based production tools.

Press Reviews " Nice work. Tight rhythmic progressions, and some of the smoothest buildups and transitions I've encountered. Reminds me of the groundbreaking style prevalent in Moby roductions. Keep up the good work and I'll keep you in mind at Street Parade 2001 in Zurich, Switzerland.Cheers, Aquarius -------------Juergen,your track "Swaying" is fantastic. Nice breaks close enough to be d=b tho.. so I've decided to add it to my station. Lawrence Widato --------- Hi Jürgen,there are some nice songs on your homepage! I am very impressed by the quality and complexity of your compositions. Torsten Schröder ----------- "I'm listening to your song "swaying" right now. Really nice guitar sounds! Cool use of Drum N' Bass type beats mixed in there.Nice vocal samples too.... Great little keyboard solo thinga little past the 2:00 mark. You are a much better player than I am! Now I'm listening to "the best you can do". Again, very nicely done. You are a very accomplished player.
