Description
The impressive debut album from Musina Ebobissé, presented as the 79th protagonist in the hall of fame of the "Jazz thing Next Generation", shows what distinguishes him from most saxophonists of his generation. Musina calls "Time Prints" a typical Berlin album, "characterized by my experiences in the city, this mix of American and European jazz, but also memories, fantasies and expectations. We must learn to master time." He compares his nine own compositions, which bear titles such as "Silhouette", "Hairsplitting", "Dusk Seekers" and "Rêveries" (Dreams), with a journey through his own self.
Those who scour through Musina Ebobissé's biography encounter completely different passions. The young man from Savergne near Strasbourg in Alsace, son of a French mother and a Cameroonian father, likes blues, reggae, hip-hop and rock. He studied jazz and sociology during his
apprenticeship years at the Strasbourg Conservatory, but played with growing enthusiasm in bands in the trendy scene such as TND, FREEZ, Art
District and Dolls Can't. "Just because I soaked up Bob Marley, Ben Harper and Jimi Hendrix with all the fibers in my body doesn't automatically mean
I sound like them." Rather, it was generally on winding paths via which Ebobissé found his destiny. His father first wanted the boy to play the piano,
then he began to learn guitar and at the age of eight he also studied saxophone. "But it wasn't necessarily my favorite instrument at first. I thought it was more like super cool. However, I know in the meantime that I can't express myself better anywhere else."
