Falb | Holub | Satzinger

The trio Falb / Holub / Satzinger was founded in 2017 for a concert at the “JazzWerkstatt Wien Festival.” Bernd Satzinger (double bass) and Mark Holub (drums) met when Holub arrived in Vienna in 2012, and they immediately planned to create something musical together. Satzinger suggested Viola Falb (saxophone), with whom he has a long-standing collaboration (e.g., FS:eins). Following the studio concert, they performed several more concerts in Austria. When Falb proposed the opportunity to record at the “Hotel Pupik” in Schrattenberg, they decided to produce the album “A Room For You.” The recordings took place in a beautiful, old farmhouse in Styria, where the trio retreated with their sound engineer for three days to record many hours of music. They brought along compositional sketches, concepts, and a strong desire for improvisational expression. After the recordings, a lengthy and very precise selection process followed, resulting in the final 15 tracks that made it onto the album. The music on “A Room For You” moves between calming soundscapes, hectic free jazz passages, and concrete melodic moments, with transitions often occurring within just a few moments.
