Niemandsland (trans: "No man's land") is not just the title of this album. Matthias Meyer also named his band as such. The term clearly has a deeper meaning for the drummer, composer, and bandleader from Berlin. It has become a key word for his musical self-discovery.

"Niemandsland" is Matthias Meyer's first own album. The international quintet (Larsen is Danish and Braylovskiy Russian) is his first own group. This seems amazing given the maturity of the compositions and arrangements, the density of the interplay as well as the collective spirit and individual class. One reason is certainly the freshly won, purposefully implemented artistic self-image of the bandleader. The close connection between the band members is just as important. The five found each other in the Jazz Institute, played in different constellations and finally worked out Meyer's pieces together until they were recorded.

Matthias Meyer - Drums
Morten Larsen - Double bass
Jakob Reisener - Piano
