Studio Masters By admin · April 4, 2024 · Comments off

As a trumpet soloist, improviser and composer at home in jazz as well as in contemporary and classical music, Markus Stockhausen is one of the most versatile musicians of our time internationally and is known as a musical border crosser – always in search of new forms of expression. After “Wild Life” and “Tales”, “Celebration” is now being released. On their third album, the Markus Stockhausen Group celebrates the life, music and friendship of their quartet with six wonderful guest musicians from many different countries. As the previous album “Tales” (o-tone music) already showcased many facets of the group, this time they really want to “celebrate” and enrich their music with the extraordinary musicality of those guest soloists.

Oli Bott, Markus Stockhausen, Oliver Potratz, Eric Schaefer – Content-Blue (2023) [Official Digital Download 24bit/44,1kHz]

The path as a goal – The story of the recording “Content” by Roman Rhode. The seven tracks are snapshots. Oli Bott simply calls them “content”. In both senses of the word. For the recordings reflect both the quartet’s joy in playing and the content: compositions reduced to the essentials that offer an astonishing amount of room for interaction and improvisation. In them, Bott, a cross-genre musician, composer and arranger, conveys his own vision of jazz: as freedom for personal development. “Nothing was rehearsed, nothing counted on,” Bott says. “We had no idea how it would start and how it would end, when the theme would come, who would improvise when.”

Markus Stockhausen, Florian Weber – Alba (2016) [Official Digital Download 24bit/96kHz]

Studio Masters By admin · June 22, 2023 · Comments off

Alba is the premiere recording of trumpeter Markus Stockhausen’s duo with pianist Florian Weber, a formation in existence for some six years now. Though very different in their connections to the language of jazz, both musicians share a deep interest in the process of creative expression: of looking inwards and outwards with intensity at things, for echoes, resonances, insights.

Initially, the duo experimented with electronic sounds, also to create the “opening sounds” that have attracted Stockhausen since he first played with Rainer Brüninghaus’s trio in the early 1980s. But with Weber, the realization soon came that the duo sounded stronger playing acoustically. “Florian has this incredible touch and possibilities to modulate the sound of the piano. There are so many colours available”. Alba is Markus Stockhausen’s first ECM recording since Karta was released in 2000. Florian Weber, a German Jazz Critics prize winner who has played with Albert Mangelsdorff, Lee Konitz and many others, makes his ECM debut here.

Markus Stockhausen – Wild Life (2020) [Official Digital Download 24bit/44,1kHz]

Studio Masters By admin · June 22, 2023 · Comments off

Markus Stockhausen is considered one of the best trumpeters worldwide. He constantly researches productively and successfully in the intersection of Jazz, classical music, new music, Improvisation and electronic experiments for new possibilities of expression. “Wild Life” is here and now his opus summum on three CDs, a real Statement of what is conceivable and feasible today, of what Markus Stockhausen himself calls “intuitive music”. The Wild Life Sessions, which took place in Bonn at the beginning of 2018, are also a musical reunion with Stockhausen’s brother Simon Stockhausen, with whom he had not played live or in the Studio for fifteen years. Simon Stockhausen has become an internationally known Sound Designer, which you can hear well here – he is also the main responsible for mixing the music. The rhythmic foundations are laid by the two drummers Bodek Janke and Christian Thomé. Thomé was also involved in the successful album “Far Into the Stars”, as well as the Cellist Jörg Brinkmann. Florian Weber is another musician with whom Markus Stockhausen has been working successfully for many years. This resulted in wide-breathing music, which unfolds its epic magic directly through the class and imagination of the participants and develops a magnetic pull force. But also the casual Groove comes to its right in many surprising places. You can see that “Wild Life” is imaginative art on different levels, with very different approaches.
