| Pirouet Records releases in November the new album VERTIGO! w/t Jason Seizer, Pablo Held, ... (Pirouet Rec.) Five years ago, Jason Seizer released his last album "Cinema Paradiso". Since then the quartet has been touring regularly on different stages and festivals and the interaction of the band has formed a fascinatingly cohesive aesthetic unit since its inception. In November, Jason Seizer releases his sixth album on the PIROUET RECORDS label with the title VERTIGO, a recording of a legendary concert in BR's Studio 2. The repertoire of this formation has grown enormously, melodies from Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo", Michael Cimino's "The Deer Hunter" or Ennio Morricone's "Cinema Paradiso" alternate with the musicians' own compositions, and the listener experiences a collective celebration of sound colors. At the piano, Cologne-based Pablo Held, without question the most dazzling pianist of his generation, uncompromising in the straightforwardness of his artistic development. His collaboration with greats like John Scofield or Chris Potter is an impressive proof of this Jason Seizer is one of the most original personalities of German jazz. The development of his musical personality is also marked by excursions beyond the pure musician's existence. At the beginning of 2000 he worked for two years as the artistic director of UNTERFAHRT. In 2003 he founded the label Pirouet Records and led it to one of the most established independent labels with international orientation. In 2010 Seizer established the "Jazzsalon" - a jazz and talk series - and last organized the jazz festival MUCTONES at the Theater Heppel and Ettlich in January 2020, which was enthusiastically received by the Munich audience. His playing is uncompromising, sincere, clear and always in the service of the musical moment. write your comments about the article :: © 2020 Jazz News :: home page |
