Web Web presents Apotheosis

A distinct kraut jazz teaser from the forthcoming sixth Web Web album, "Plexus Plexus," with special guest JJ Whitefield (The Poets Of Rhythm / Karl Hector & The Malcouns / Syrup) on guitar. This piece glamourizes the spirit of jazz, kraut-rock, and free improvisation.

Web Web with their sixth album in seven years and with a new touch. More psychedelic, sometimes more krauty than before. This time, Web Web in their original line-up (without Max Herre) have (again) chosen a special guest: JJ Whitefield (The Poets Of Rhythm / Karl Hector & The Malcouns / Syrup), who contributes the fantastic guitar sound.

His riffs are sometimes funky, as with the Poets Of Rhythm or Syrup, or more psychedelic, as with Karl Hector & The Malcouns or his many live and studio recordings with Embryo. The sound color of his guitar gives the album the thrust into the wonderful atmosphere of spacey jazz-kraut bands of the seventies.

The 14 compositions were created over two days and recorded by Jan Krause (Beanfield) in Munich. The energetic live session lasted twice 10 hours, and everyone - Roberto Di Gioia (Rhodes, Fender Precision Bass, Moog, Mellotron, percussion), Christian von Kaphengst (Fender Precision Bass, Rhodes), Peter Gall (drums, percussion, Fender Rhodes), Tony Lakatos (tenor saxophone, flute) - was "on fire" to the core.

The musicians switched instruments to create a completely different overall sound: Kaphengst on Fender Rhodes sounds different to Roberto, his playing has a different harmonic structure, and Roberto on bass is familiar from numerous Max Herre recordings or from Till Brönner's album "Till Brönner," and of course also from the "Let Yourself Be Loved" by Joy Denalane, which he produced and which was released on Motown Records.
