"Now another name must be added to the list or European monster bassists. Dieter Ilg is in the middle of this music like a throbbing heart..."
THOMAS CONRAD, NEW YORK

You could say that Dieter Ilg is the top acoustic bassplayer from Germany. Like no other he understands how to use all the possibilities of his instrument so as to make his skillful sound applicable in every context imaginable. He managed to bridge the gap between working on his own creative projects (taking it as far as founding his own label) while at the same time consolidating his reputation as one of the  most sought after sidemen in Europe.

Now the German “world class bass player” (Jazzthing) is presenting his new trio.
