Where The River Goes carries the story forward from Wolfgang Muthspiels' highly acclaimed Rising Grace recording of 2016, reuniting the Austrian guitarist with Brad Mehldau, Ambrose Akinmusire and Larry Grenadier, heavy talents all, and bringing in the great Eric Harland on drums.

Much more than an all-star gathering, the group plays as an ensemble with its own distinct identity, evident both in the interpretation of Muthspiels pieces and in the collective playing. The album, recorded at Studios La Buissonne in February 2018, and produced by Manfred Eicher, features six compositions by Wolfgang Muthspiel and one by Brad Mehldau, plus one group improvisation.

Guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel, born in 1965, lives in Vienna and is considered to be one of the most influential guitarists of his generation. As a sought-after sideman, he has played for Trilok Gurtu, Dhafer Youssef, Youssou N'Dour, Maria Joao, Dave Liebmann, Peter Erskine, Paul Motian, Bob Berg, Gary Peacock, Don Alias, Larry Grenadier, John Patitucci, Dieter Ilg, the Vienna Art Orchestra and many others.
The "Wolfgang Muthspiel Trio", the "Drumfree Trio", the critically acclaimed "Wolfgang Muthspiel Quintet" as well as his constantly evolving solo performance can be found among his current projects.
