{"product_id":"julia-kadel-trio_kaskaden_2024_war_1","title":"Kaskaden","description":"With their own musical language, Julia Kadel, Karl-Erik Enkelmann and Steffen Roth have become a regular topic of conversation in recent years and have established themselves as an expressive jazz piano trio beyond German borders. Releasing their first two albums on Blue Note\/Universal, they were nominated in 2015 for the prestigious German Music Award Echo Jazz as \"Newcomer of the Year\" and Julia Kadel as \"Female Instrumentalist of the Year\". Most recently, they released their latest work Kaskaden. Julia Kadel's variable competitions, her imaginative playing and the group's striking improvisations have grown bolder over time. On Kaskaden, they have now reached a new dimension of detail and intensity. More determined than ever, the trio balances the fine line between harmony and atonality, intuition and reflection, poetry and austerity. \"We have become more courageous in our playing, more open to the unexpected,\" says Julia Kadel. \"We have allowed ourselves more freedoms and discovered new harmonies for ourselves.\" The unpredictable twists, the playful and tonal richness of all participants as well as the long, nuanced arcs of suspense motivate repeated listening that is rewarded with ever-new impressions. The live qualities of the trio, founded in 2011, their subtle interaction and intuitive understanding encouraged the trio to produce the new album under live conditions - especially since it took place in the legendary MPS studio in Villingen (Black Forest, Germany). Its history dates back to 1958; great jazz pianists such as Oscar Peterson, George Shearing, Monty Alexander and Bill Evans once recorded there. With the Bosendorfer Grand Imperial grand piano - once acquired for Friedrich Gulda - at the center surrounded by classic analog technology, Kaskaden was captured on individual tape. This influenced not only the charismatic sound but also the special atmosphere that characterizes the album. Moreover, the recording location was not only a surprise but probably also a small sensation for all MPS fans, as the Julia Kadel Trio is the first act to record at MPS in the historic studios after 35 years; the popular German magazine Der Spiegel reported on it.","brand":"Julia Kadel Trio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57531276591448,"sku":null,"price":20240517.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/julia-kadel-trio_kaskaden_2024_war_1","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
