Stefan Karl Schmid / Philipp Brämswig - Anima (2015)


Source & Label:http://www.metarecords.de/index.php?id=110
Genre: Modern Creative
GAB's Rating: ★★★★★


Stefan Karl Schmid and Philipp Brämswig poured their heart and soul into their new release, “Anima”. Recorded at the Deutschlandfunk Studios, the album draws from their long experience together as performers, which results in a clear and direct sound.
The quartet is completed by bass player Robert Landfermann and drummer Jonas Burgwinkel. All four know each other from Germany's Youth Jazz Orchestra and are now active together in several projects in Cologne's vibrant Jazz scene.


Schmid's and Brämswig's compositions are reminiscent of the exciting creations of Kurt Rosenwinkel and Mark Turner on “Heartcore”. Schmid and Brämswig, however, create this sound aesthetic acoustically. A sonic field of beautiful melodies interchanging with witty sound explorations emerges. Expect to hear more exciting music from this band in the future.
