Description
Simultaneously mysterious and energetic - trumpeter Gero Hensel opens on "Reminiscence" - an album of moments, memories, and experiences, captured in music. In just the first few moments of the album, Gero Hensel reveals the extraordinary central element of his music that runs through the entire album: the sound. From mysterious murmurations to forceful and frenetic to alienated and raw, Gero Hensel creates a wide spectrum of timbres with his trumpet. The sound and the variety of sounds are an essential part of both his music and his compositions.All of the compositions on "Reminiscence" were penned by Gero Hensel, and are characterized by influences outside of jazz music, revealing influences from classical composers such as Modest Mussorgsky ("Straying Shadows") or Bela Bartok ("Beyond"). Form, chord structures, and motifs from the world of classical music are employed, processed, defamiliarized, and combined with the aesthetics of jazz. This results in complex and multi-layered compositions that break away from jazz norms.
