By grzech In All That Jazz /   No Comments

Basement Research’s eighth album celebrates the band’s 25th anniversary. Gebhard Ullmann, Global citizen and winner of the City of Berlin’s 2017 Jazz Prize, celebrates his improvisations through a focused aesthetic in which each of the short pieces begins at a particular point and evolves into a collective band sound. Great music that consistently delves into the heart of the matter and, without skipping a beat, moves on to the next creative moment.

[February the 1st release from TRAUMTON: Veronika Harcsa & Bálint Gyémánt Shapeshifter]

Release: February 2nd

Veronika Harcsa & Bálint Gyémánt Shapeshifter

With two albums to date (Lifelover and Tell Her), duo Veronika Harcsa and Bálint Gyémánt have thrilled the press and audiences since 2014. “Allaboutjazz.com said: Harcsa is an amazingly versatile musician, a brilliant vocalist and gifted entertainer in the best sense.” The MDR said: “Harcsa’s voice oscillates in very different colours. […] Once she sounds like the jazzy sister of Alanis Morissette and the next moment she becomes a spherical siren. “And in the magazine Audio was read:” Tell Her is a commitment to the artistic peculiarity, but beyond that a chamber music laboratory of styles that enchants and shapes the fragile texts, the clear, radiant timbre of the voice and the cautious yet complex music. Fascinatingly barren and powerful at the same time. “

Minua – Still Light

When two guitarists and a woodwind decide to start a trio, they probably have unconventional sound ideas. Why else dare such an original band idea? When Luca Aaron, Kristinn Kristinsson and Fabian Willmann first played together in 2014 in a rehearsal room at the University of Basel, they immediately felt a deep bond. “It was almost like salvation to find people in high school life who wanted to play something else,” smiles Aaron. The trio’s strong, multi-directional design will feed on various influences. Some have inspired everyone, others are more personal. To name the most important ones: post-rock, minimalism à la Steve Reich, Nordic melancholy and Scandinavian folk, as well as unusual timbres and blends, created through advanced playing techniques and targeted electronics.

RaaDie – Vast potential

If you think you already know all sorts of unusual and unusual combinations of instruments and styles, you can now – for fun at least – think for a minute: have you ever heard of an album by trumpet and e-zither? The idea may seem a bit oblique at first glance. Translated by Lorenz Raab and Christof Dienz, however, it sounds as conclusive as it is exciting.

Release: January 25th

“Big, colorful ear cinema” (WAZ, Essen)

Tamara Lukasheva is considered beyond her generation as one of the outstanding voices of German jazz. Her unusually agile vocal expressiveness, which has been precisely refined over the past 15 years, not only leaves a deep impression on the jazz-savvy audience. Lukasheva’s music is independent and variable, moving in the field of tension of strong melodies, Eastern European influences, dynamic improvisation and emphasis.
