New Album: Kilian Kemmer – Am Ende der Nacht

Download & Stream

https://glmmusic.de/AmEndeDerNacht

A smoky bar, rainy April weather or a scene from a French black and white film – on their new album “Am Ende der Nacht”, the trio led by pianist Kilian Kemmer tells of people, faded memories and marginal notes of the everyday in eleven musical miniatures. With Thomas Stabenow on bass and Julian Fau on drums, the trio explores catchy themes and then embarks on a journey into the poetic unknown. On the two compositions “Durch die Nacht” and “Fabi 43”, long-time companion Matthieu Bordenave joins the trio on saxophone.

Happy Release Day: Martin Weiss & David & Danino Weiss Quartett – Smile

“Smile” is the name of the new album by Martin Weiss and the David and Danino Weiss Quartet. And it also begins with the song of the same name, the most famous composition by Charlie Chaplin. A choice that perfectly describes the character of the album in several respects. First, because the piece, later made famous by Nat King Cole and today played as a jazz and pop standard by countless performers, dates from 1936. The time when Django Reinhardt invented the only original European style in the classical era of jazz: the Gypsy Swing, also called Jazz Manouche or Hot Jazz. Then, because “Smile” with its highly emotional mixture of melancholy and consolation fits exactly the ambivalence of Gypsy Swing. And finally, because the piece comes from the film “Modern Times”, which deals precisely with the interface between tradition and departure, which is now also the musical focus of Martin, David and Danino Weiß.

Happy Release Day: Anthony Cox, Cornelius Claudio Kreusch, Johannes Tonio Kreusch – HOTEL CASABLANCA

At its best, a music album is a journey, for the musicians as well as for the listeners. Like hardly any other subject, music offers the chance to get from here to there and from yesterday to tomorrow without preconditions or borders, with one’s thoughts as well as one’s feelings. As a universal world language, it can take everyone with it. The adventure is all the greater when the tour guides come from different genres, but freely and impartially seek a common path. Like the avant-garde bassist Anthony Cox, the groove-oriented jazz pianist Cornelius Claudio Kreusch and the classical guitarist Johannes Tonio Kreusch. On their new album, the three now invite you to check into the “HOTEL CASABLANCA” as the basis of a remarkable expedition.

Happy Release Day: Tim Collins – For Good People

It is a stroke of luck for the German jazz scene that New Yorker Tim Collins came to Munich twelve years ago. The 45-year-old belongs to the small group of the world’s best vibraphone players. American critics already attested to this when he was still playing in his home country with musicians like Ingrid Jensen or Aaron Parks: Collins “is nothing less than exemplary,” wrote Downbeat Magazine, for example.  Across the pond, he has proven it in collaborations with a wide variety of greats from John Hollenbeck to Danny Grissett to Henning Sieverts or Shinya Fukumori to the world musicians Quadro Nuevo or the young whiz kid Shuteen Erdenebataar.  Now he underlines it with his fifth album “For Good People”.

Happy Release Day: Isabelle Bodenseh – Flowing Mind

The combination of flute and organ trio is refreshingly unconsumed and appealing, especially when it comes along with as much ingenuity as it does with Isabelle Bodenseh, Thomas Bauser, Lorenzo Petrocca and Lars Binder, who already attracted attention in 2018 with the album “Mrs. Bo’s Cookbook”.

Not only do the four of them swing incessantly and challenge each other with crafty and inspiring original compositions, they even form a grooving organic unity that is downright exemplary for this combination of instruments.

Rarely have flute-organ pairings achieved such amazing homogeneity and fine-tuned playing as we can admire on this album.
