The Shannon Barnett Quartet was selected to record a full set of music at the WDR in Cologne for this year’s Jazzfest Berlin Online Edition. It turned out very nice and we had a great time playing. The video is available on the Arte concert website. Please check it out.
There has been some spare time to get back into the transcription process. This time I’ve been working on a beautiful Sonny Rollins Solo on his tune “Valse Hot”.
SCHMID’s HUHN will be playing five nights in a row at Club Subway, Cologne. The SJO\CGN small series starts on Wednesday September 16th and ends on Sunday September 20th. You can get tickets trough Eventim. We’ll be playing a totally new program and in the second set the fabulous FEARLESS TRIO (with Johannes Ludwig, Simon Nabatov and Fabian Arends) will present their music.
Here’s a YouTube playlist of all PYJAMA pre-release videos I did. Hopefully they spark your interest. The whole album can be found on all streaming platforms.
Playing Duo has been a new thing during these difficult times in order to meet the social distancing rules. Lars Duppler and I used the chance to create new material. Here are some videos of us performing mainly icelandic traditional music.
An one hour radio feature by Anja Buchmann about me and my new album PYJAMA was just released by the German radio station Deutschlandfunk. It’s really fun listening to (if I may say so myself). Some secrets about the compositions and the interior of my practice booth are also revealed. You con listen to it HERE.
I made a new transcription video of a beautiful Cedar Walton solo I have been working on over the last weeks. It’s such a great chorus on ‘The shadow of your smile’ by Mr. Walton! The whole album is great by the way: Eddie Harris - The In Sound!
Our new Quartet CD has been released last week! It’s called NIAQUE - Awake and distributed through our new label FLOAT Music. Besides Philipp on guitar and me on tenor & soprano saxophones it features David Helm on bass and Fabian Arends on drums.
You can find audio tracks, pictures and videos HERE on my website and you can also stream it on Spotify or any other platform of your choice. Enjoy the music!
