O’s Notes: The Clarinet Trio is Jürgen Kupke (cl), Michael Thieke (a-cl, cl) and Gebhard Ullman (b-cl). They come together on Transformations and Further Passages, a free spirited session packed with improvisations. The musicians play off each other’s leads, interweaving melodies, and harmonies seamlessly. “Collective #13”, “Cleopatra”, “Tension/Varié”, are highlights with excellent solo pieces from each clarinetist.
