„The next time someone asks me to define contemporary jazz, I have the answer: Transit from MSM Schmidt. The project is an ideal fusion of jazz and rock.“ (John Hilderbrand).
Nach seiner ambitionierten All-Star-Produktion „Transit“ (Laika, 2007), ist es dem Bremer Keyboarder/Komponisten MSM Schmidt einmal mehr gelungen, für sein aktuelles
Album „Destination“ eine hochkarätige Besetzung international renommierter Instrumentalisten zu gewinnen:den Vibraphonisten Mike Mainieri (Steps Ahead, Frank Zappa), die Schlagzeuger Joel Rosenblatt (Bill Evans,Spyro Gyra), Simon Phillips (Toto, Mike Oldfield) und Wolfgang Haffner (Passport, Till Brönner), die Bassisten Jimmy Haslip (Yellojackets, Bruce Hornsby), Ric Fierabracci (Chick Corea, Men at Work) und den 2008 verstorbenen Dave Carpenter (Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea), die Saxophonisten Steve Tavaglione (George Benson), Tom Scott (Paul McCartney, Quincy Jones) und Brandon Fields (George Benson, Tower Of Power), die Pianisten Mitchel Forman (Gary Burton, Pat Metheny), die Gitarristen Dean Brown (Billy Cobham, David Sanborn), Alex Machacek (Planet X) und Chuck Loeb (Steps Ahead, Metro) und den Trompeter Walter Fowler (Frank Zappa).
Sie alle spielen mit erkennbarer Freude und Finesse die Kompositionen von MSM Schmidt.
Unbeschwert korrespondierend im Zusammenspiel, mit exaktem Timing und fulminanten Breaks, passioniert melodischen Solo-Spots, und dem spannungsreich atmosphärischen Wechsel wohl platzierter, akustischer und elektrischer Instrumentierung, vermittelt „Destination“ das rundum stimmige Erlebnis vitaler Kreativität, und anregend anziehender, kompetenter Musikalität, in einer Besetzung, wie sie hierzulande ihres gleichen sucht und die das ambitionierte Unterfangen zum spannenden Klangtrip werden lässt.
 The composer and keyboarder MSM Schmidt (Germany) wins for his newest recording „Destination“ international renowned fusion-jazz musicians like: Mike Mainieri (Steps Ahead, Frank Zappa) on vibes, on drums Joel Rosenblatt (Bill Evans, Spyro Gyra), Simon Phillips (Toto, Mike Oldfield) und Wolfgang Haffner (Passport, Till Brönner), on bass Jimmy Haslip (Yellojackets, Bruce Hornsby), Ric Fierabracci (Chick Corea, Men at Work) Dave Carpenter (Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea), who died in 2008, on saxes Steve Tavaglione (George Benson), Tom Scott (Paul McCartney, Quincy Jones) and Brandon Fields (George Benson, Tower Of Power), on piano Mitchel Forman (Gary Burton, Pat Metheny), on guitar Dean Brown (Billy Cobham, David Sanborn), Alex Machacek (Planet X) and Chuck Loeb (Steps Ahead, Metro) and on trumpet Walter Fowler (Frank Zappa).
All the players are outstanding and the sound is awesome as well!
The playing throughout is of course stunning. The compositions are varied in style - sometimes jazzy, heavy, complex, and funky - but always entertaining.
It actually sounds like they were really enjoying themselves while making such a wonderful album. |
