One of the new generation European drummers we have been following with most interest since the Lockdown years is the German player Mareike Wiening on albums like Live at Bird's Eye Basel and Future Memories and here she's back on studio album Reveal recorded in the States earlier this year with some of her long time playing colleagues and interestingly guest spots by trumpeter Dave Douglas all part of the blueprint. Modernistic without being avant-garde Wiening's approach reminds us a little of Terri Lyne Carrington's or even Terence Blanchard's. Delivering a bunch of originals and capably backed by tenorist Rich Perry - think Brice Winston a little in his sound - and by pianist Glenn Zaleski, wonderful in the introduction to 'The Girl by the Window,' guitarist Alex Goodman, bassist Johannes Felscher and the album has Douglas on three tracks harmonising beautifully with Perry on that standout track 'The Girl by the Window'. An album that you find more things to latch on to the more you listen - Wiening proves a winner yet again in her most impressive album to date.
