With his new solo album Impressionists Improvised, pianist Chris Gall invites you on a fascinating musical journey that combines the dazzling soundscapes of impressionism with the freedom and energy of jazz. In breathtaking improvisations on works by Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel and Erik Satie, Gall blurs the boundaries between genres such as jazz, neo-classical and minimal music. His unique style brings the atmosphere of this revolutionary art movement to life in a modern way, creating a completely new sound world that transcends genres.

150 years after the birth of Impressionism, Gall allows the essence of this era to blossom anew. By playfully exploring the harmonic and colorful similarities between impressionism and jazz, he succeeds in reinterpreting the emotional depth and intensity of these works in a contemporary context. The album builds on the musical paths Gall took with his acclaimed solo albums Piano Solo and Room of Silence and adds new, magical dimensions to his sonic language.

The Munich-born pianist, known for his many years of work with the award-winning band Quadro Nuevo, once again demonstrates his impressive versatility on Impressionists Improvised. His globally acclaimed performances and multiple German Jazz Award-winning projects have made him one of the most exciting artists of his generation.

With this album, Chris Gall takes his audience into a magical world of sound in which the intense moods of impressionism come to life in a modern, improvisational language. A work that delights listeners with a wealth of new impressions and magical moments – and playfully pushes the boundaries of the musical.

“Impressionists Improvised” – an album that combines history, emotion and innovation.

Critics have been raving about “ingeniously woven sound parcours” (In-Music), “subtle aural adventures” (Jazzthing) and “irresistible charm” (Süddeutsche Zeitung) for 14 years. Ever since Lottchen existed, the duo of singer Eva Buchmann and vibraphonist Sonja Huber. And perhaps this rare and intimate combination of vibraphone and vocals would have had an even greater impact had the two not taken a baby break twice. On the other hand, otherwise there would probably not be the unique project that the two have now completed: “Tales For My Mother”, the new Lottchen album after the award-winning “Lazy Afternoon”, “Travelling Birds” and “Quiet Storm”, is an ode to being a mother, inspired by their mothers as well as by their own role as mothers, by an unfulfilled desire to have children, but also by “Mother Earth” and the search for their own roots.
