Equilibrium is the ECM debut of a German/American/Spanish trio, which through frequent touring has grown into a remarkably tight and stylistically unique unit in recent years. Fuelled by the tension created through the contrasting styles of pianist Benedikt Jahnel (whose approach is characterised by a heightened interest in rhythmic subdivisions) and drummer Owen Howard (who, in Jahnels words, "treats and perceives rhythmic phrases as melodic lines without fixed micro units"), and with bass player Antonio Miguel often the musical mediator, the group's sound draws subtly from classical influences as well as contemporary concepts of groove.
Leader Benny Jahnel, also known as a member of Cyminology, has sharpened his profile playing with the Metropol Orchestra, Phil Woods, Johannes Enders, Charlie Mariano, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Dave Liebman and John Abercrombie. Jahnel and Drummer Owen Howard first met when Howard taught as a guest professor at Berlin's Universität der Künste. Later, when Jahnel spent two years in New York in 2005/2006, his artistic relationship with Brooklyn based Howard intensified. Also in New York Antonio Miguel, who at the time finished his studies with John Patitucci, completed the group.
