In life it’s like music: some people think that in the past everything would have been better. Others say the best is yet to come. It works in both cases and the same for everyone: Only here, only now. “Every moment is of infinite value, for it is the representative of a whole eternity,” it says in a Goethe aphorism. When Nils Wülker calls his beautiful seventh album “Just Here, Just Now”, it has less to do with philosophy and nothing at all with esotericism.

The title means Go, or go! and is thus tailor-made for a musician, a person like Nils wülker always in motion, curious and forward-thinking, his head full of musical ideas.

GO is Nils Wülker’s excursion into elegant electronics and completes a trilogy of albums that has been experienced for at least five years, for which the at least as charismatic as visionary trumpeter/Songwriter has seduced us with UP into Pop and with on into Hip Hop. His tenth studio album, with all the analog synthesizers, the Arpeggiator, the Organic Loops and Beats, is not live at most, as the great melodist (Die Zeit) says, but stands out in contrast with some of his most beautiful and emotional Songs to date and the most direct and dynamic trumpet playing beyond his Live albums and concerts. Completely self-composed, the ten pieces of GO show the most extreme and energetic side of the multi-award-winning musician recorded to date with members of his popular Live Band, in addition to the Viennese keyboardist Albin Janoska, the sound expert behind SOHN, and the American trumpeter Theo Croker in the anything but sterile Corona distance Duo Highline.

These concert recordings show why Nils Wülker unites different generations in his audience. The thirteen songs sound modern yet timeless, Nils touches the soul, but also ensures movement in the legs. Dancing visitors are just as much part of it as those who listen devoutly and perhaps close their eyes in a pleasurable moment. The events on stage captivate and show so varied that you are so curious what happens next. Funky, groovy, rocking and always eagerly absorbed in ballads, Wülkers Jazz is as diverse as rarely in the German (and international) scene.
