Christian Klinkenberg Orchestra - Geo² (2016) [Hi-Res]

For his first album GEO², the Belgian pianist, composer and arranger Christian Klinkenberg reveals a music of spontaneity and tension. With his nine musicians coming from all over Europe, he creates, moulds, invents a new form of modern jazz spread through contemporary compositions techniques and possibilities.
GEO² reflects through avaunt-gardist structures and harmonics a place of musical explorations and performances.
Christian Klinkenberg studied composition first at the jazz section of the “Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel” where he received a Master’s degree in 2006. In 2012, he obtained a Master’s degree in the classical section of the same institution.
The music of Christian Klinkenberg is characterized by the combination of contemporary composition concepts and jazz colors and improvisation. Alongside his work as a composer, Klinkenberg has continued actively as a pianist, bandleader and improviser with different performers and ensembles.
