An extraordinary project by Martin Brunner is fusion of the jazz piano trio and string quartet. It’s the cycle of pieces composed just for this particular ensemble. The idea was to create music in which the string quartet wouldn’t have an accompanying role, but all music instruments would have the same importance. The compositions were inspired by modern jazz as well as classical music. The CD Morning Walks was released in December 2013 on acclaimed Czech label Animal Music and the music was performed live at the most important jazz festivals in Czech Republic.
