The busy Berlin pianist and composer has become an integral part of the German jazz scene.
For her new release Under The Surface, once again on ECM, Julia Hülsmann has brought a special guest into the studio alongside her now regular quartet: the Norwegian trumpeter and goat horn player Hildegunn Øiseth, who recently added an exciting album to our record collection with her own Garden On The Roof. Hülsmann's quartet, with Uli Kempendorff on tenor saxophone, Marc Muellbauer on bass and Heinrich Köbberling on drums, is joined by Øiseth on five of the ten new pieces - adding a colorful fifth dimension to the already dazzling four-piece sound, even when the quartet plays alone.
