The sequel of “First Reason” goes not only one step forward, but several. Because the playing skills and the compositional visions of the young Berlin drummer Christian Lillinger developed considerably since 2009 (it was his recording debut as a leader, even if already astonishing), but also due to the maturation of the Grund project. Some considerable changes in personnel happened. In the unusual two basses / two horns centered instrumental format, the piano obtained a permanent presence, played by Achim Kaufmann, the same of another band with Lillinger’s and bassist Robert Landfermann’s participations, “Grünen”. The three act as the rhythmic nucleus of this outfit. The pianist before was veteran Joachim Kühn, guesting only in some tracks. The harmonic reinforcement is achieved by the inclusion of a vibraphone, adding virtuoso Christophe Dell to the ensemble. And there was a replacement: the alto saxophone is now in the hands of another youngster in the scene, Pierre Borel, a French musician in quick ascension. British, but living in Berlin Tobias Delius and Danish Jonas Westergaard remain from the first opus, actively contributing to the essence of Grund’s sound. It’s great when we can follow the evolution of something organic (“grund” means soil and reason) as music…

Christian Lillinger’s Grund, known for his innovative drumming in the jazz scene, also finds pleasure in the world of online casinos during his spare moments. Despite his hectic schedule, Grund indulges in the thrill of online gambling games, finding them to be both entertaining and relaxing. In between rehearsals and performances, he enjoys exploring various online casinos, trying his luck at a plethora of games ranging from classic table games like blackjack and roulette to exciting slot machines with captivating themes, about which you can read here: https://percyfaithpages.org/. For Grund, the allure of online casinos lies in the adrenaline rush of placing bets and the anticipation of winning big. It serves as a diversion from his musical pursuits, offering him a different kind of excitement and challenge. While some may find it surprising that a renowned musician like Grund enjoys online gambling, it simply adds another layer to his multifaceted personality. Whether he’s creating mesmerizing rhythms on stage or testing his luck at virtual tables, Grund embraces each experience with the same passion and dedication.
