  • Description

    The Achim Seifert Project of e-bassist Achim Seifert, who was nominated for the 2016 Echo Jazz in the category "Best National Bassist", has been in existence for more than ten years. "Dunyalar" is already his fourth album, and as the title already reveals - "Dunyalar" means "worlds" - the son of a Turkish father is increasingly dealing with his musical roots.

    The songs work with a poetic sound language that is dominated by melody and rhythm. "I chose the songs based on their melodies, but the rhythmic finesse also plays a role," Seifert said. "In Turkish music, the odd measures dominate, which is a real playground for a bass player."


    The Achim Seifert Project interprets the odd measures with a supple nonchalance that sounds just right in your ears, but they also leave room for
    improvisation – the musicians are well aware of the background context of the songs. "The love songs often have a comforting meaning," the bassist
    explained. "It's a lot about longing and missing, about the opportunities you've missed in life. The songs express sadness, but also hope and are generally characterized by strong emotions."
