The music of German-French double bass player Pascal Niggenkemper ranges from openly interpreted compositions and collective improvisation to thoroughly composed passages. Together with his fellow musicians Niggenkemper links the legacy of European contemporary classical music to the present state of European improvisation concepts - clearly influenced by the musical variety of his adopted place of residence, New York.
