The Upper Austrian alto saxophonist Tanja Feichtmair has already made a name for herself in several Austrian as well as international formations (Lull, Müjazz, Feichtmair/Turner Duo, Trio Now, Trio with Gino Robair and Damon Smith, Quartet with Frank Gratkowksi, Peter Herbert and Christian Lillinger among others). For several years, her main interest was in solo work, which resulted in the acclaimed album Kaman Wasi, for which she also received a music arts promotion grant. Feichtmair's playing is characterized by her free approach to music, away from common conventions, and reflects both the developments of American-style free jazz playing and the reduced timbre aesthetics of European origin.
