Album lore

Breathing as One, issued by SKIP Records in October 2016, pairs vibraphonist Wolfgang Schlüter with pianist Boris Netsvetaev in a session of eleven tracks. The record anchors itself in the German jazz continuum, with Schlüter’s mallet work weaving through Netsvetaev’s piano lines in a measured, contemplative dialogue. Recorded with a modest circulation reflected in its scant 296 Last.fm scrobbles, the album retains a quiet intimacy.The featured track “Tekla” exemplifies their understated interplay, where vibraphone tones shimmer with an unforced clarity against the piano’s harmonic shading. Breathing as One offers a restrained yet precise examination of texture and timing, a subtle artifact for those tracing the contours of contemporary European jazz on vinyl.
