Windstil by Trio de Mast
‘Unlike the title suggests, 'Windstil [Windless] is an unbelievably lively album. It is an album by someone who, in his career as a musician, audibly immersed himself in a good many musical styles; in an organic manner, Indian music, French impressionism, soul-grooves, pop, Bach and blues are blended with the lyrical language so typical of Pieter’s compositions and improvisations. It seems that, after the albums by the Windstreken-ensemble, this smaller ensemble with Modar Salama and Sebastiaan van Delft enlarges even more the poetical expressiveness. A windless haven, where all impressions of a musical exploration find their places and to which one want to listen over and over again.'
