The German/Swiss Rotraut Jäger, who lives in Zurich, is a passionate flutist. On her second album "Dynamite" she succeeds in the remarkable feat of fully calibrating herself to the flute and yet not recording a flute album. Because the focus of their music, which is refreshing in every respect, is invariably the respective song – the melody, the groove, the mood and the mental environment in which the song was created. With a serenity that is rarely heard in jazz, she simply plays away.

Rotraut Jäger is a storyteller. Especially by playing different flutes, very different voices come into play, which seem like the characters in a plot. The current album "Dynamite" as a whole seems like a multi-stylistic hike, not only through diverse moods, but also through a whole series of regions of this planet, without ever having a flat Global Village feeling.

For Rotraut, the focus is always on the question of what kind of music she herself listens to and what interests she is currently pursuing. Good job. Because "Dynamite" is nothing less than an explosive outburst of undisguised joie de vivre that depicts life in its interaction of banal everyday life and complexity.
