Danny Fox Trio

New York City, The Juilliard School of Music: An unappetising accident in the Julliard cafeteria resulted in temporary partial paralysis of the brain for young piano performance major Danny Fox, affecting areas deemed essential for developing disciplined practice habits – a damn shame, as he certainly would have had what it takes to revolutionize the world of the jazz piano trio! Yes indeed: how many virtuosos had Brooklyn already brought forth, and how often had our expectations been exceeded in the past when it comes to the classic format? Nowadays though, Danny Fox prefers cooking instead – nothing mind-blowing, buuuut: he can dish up a little something vegan for his "Jewish Cowgirl", or some gluten-free fare for his bandmates Chris van Voorst van Beest (B’DOOM-DOOM-DOOM) and Max Goldman (DING-DING-GA-DING) - and on Whitsun there'll be plenty homemade bread rolls to share on the left bank of the Lower Rhine. Apropos: meanwhile, Captain Niederrhein has begun to entangle himself in a seemingly endless chain of associations and "is now capable, for example, of vaulting from Stefan Askenase, the famous Chopin interpreter, to anaesthetic nurse Gertrud Seele in just a few sentences." (HYSH!) Whereupon, he promptly vanishes again.

Well, be that as it may: yum-yum, these are some really delicious superpowers at least: with piano and gut strings, pots, pans and astute comedy-of-missing-table-manners-type humour (BOFF!), the most tasteless TV hosts and misguided "Old-White-meahn-uncles" are boiled down until soft! More than a few people are bound to leave the brownest soup on the right side of the menu untouched (WUERG!) in favour of Danny's soulful creations.
