Sebastian Schunke - Life And Death (2011) [Hi-Res]

Sebastian Schunke brings with “Life and Death” a new and very intimate touch to his music – piano solo. For the first time Sebastian plays part of his highly acclaimed compositions as a Solo pianist. On the other 4 compositions he presents his new band – the new wild and high energetic Berlin. An international band of young innovative musicians based in Berlin – Dan Freeman on tenor saxophone, Diego Pinera on drums and Marcel Krömker on bass. This formation already toured the world with Sebastian, developing a new not yet seen and heard Modern Sound in Latin Jazz – it is maybe one of the most innovative sounds of Latin Jazz existing. The band is supported perfectly by Grammy Award Winning percussionist Pernell Saturnino. From New York.

On this new release “Life and Death” Schunke’s compositions are changing: he opens up the harmonic and the compositional structure of the songs. He keeps his music fresh and wild and leads the music to a hip and experimental form of world jazz – totally new and unpredictably!

„… that is what makes music so wonderful, frontiers are turned down and something totally new and fresh can be built up“ (Jazzdimensions, Germany).

“...the music is complex, sophisticated, and superbly crafted...” (AllAboutJazz, New York)
